Trezor and Tropic Square disclosed a hardware weakness affecting the TROPIC01 secure element used in the Trezor Safe 7 after Ledger's Donjon team found it during an audit.

Tropic Square is producing a revised chip batch, while existing devices cannot be fixed through software updates.

Bitcoin fell to $65,710 on June 3, breaking below $66,000 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF outflows hit $519 million on June 2 and derivatives markets saw heavy forced selling.
