The world of Crypto Assets has once again redefined people's understanding of "outrageous." Recently, the Polygon network witnessed a staggering act: a Hacker directly minted 120 million YU Tokens on-chain. This move inevitably evokes the absurd image of someone breaking into a bank vault and casually taking away a large sum of cash.



This event is undoubtedly the ultimate embodiment of 'free minting' in the realm of Crypto Assets. However, this seemingly absurd operation has surprisingly managed to circulate in the market in the short term, and even been exploited by some for profit. This not only refreshes the cognitive bottom line of industry insiders, but also once again highlights the high-risk characteristics of the Crypto Assets market.

Interestingly, some people humorously refer to this behavior as "real free finance," as if the password to wealth is hidden on the hacker's keyboard. But reality is often more complex than imagination. Can this hacker successfully cash out? Can they escape legal sanctions? How will the platform and community respond? The answers to these questions are what truly deserve attention in the follow-up developments.

For veterans of the Crypto Assets market, the sudden opportunity for wealth often hides significant risks behind it. The final outcome could be the project's collapse or investors' rights protection, while ordinary investors are likely to suffer heavy losses.

The YU Token incident is not only a crazy wealth frenzy but also a risk warning for the entire industry. It once again confirms a long-standing saying in the Crypto Assets market: what can make you rich overnight can often bring you back to zero overnight.

This event also reminds us once again that in the Crypto Assets market, opportunities and risks coexist. Investors need to stay clear-headed and carefully evaluate each investment decision rather than blindly follow the so-called myths of getting rich quickly. After all, in this uncertain market, rationality and caution are the keys to success.
