Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said his X account was hacked, and the attacker posted a thread promoting tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) that was criticized as being heavily AI-assisted.
The now-deleted posts argued that tokenization could make buildings, bonds and funds easier to divide, trade and settle. The thread referenced trading platform Robinhood’s push into tokenized assets.
The posts did not mention a token sale, wallet or token address or investment link, making the compromise less obvious than a typical crypto account takeover.
“To the person who hacked my account earlier this week: thanks for all the new crypto followers,” Chesky wrote after regaining access. “To my new crypto followers: I’m going to be a very disappointing follow.”
Airbnb reported the incident to X, which secured the account. It isn't clear how the attacker gained access or who was responsible.
CEX trading volumes rose for the first time in five months in June, with spot climbing 15.3% to $1.11T and RWA perpetual volumes surging to a record $311B.
