📈 The TRUMP memecoin is showing unexpected growth after a major unlock worth $300 million (around 20% of the total supply).
Rumors have surfaced that Donald Trump is unhappy with the sharp drop in the token’s price (nearly 90% down from its peak) and is planning to host a dinner for major TRUMP holders.
His team is also working on creating a dedicated webpage for the token.

☠️ Manta Network co-founder Kenny Li nearly fell victim to a Lazarus attack (source):
🔴 Li shared that a known contact reached out to him via Telegram to arrange a Zoom call.
🔴 During the call, the participants’ cameras were on, and he could see familiar faces from his team — everything looked very convincing.
🔴 However, there was no sound. A message appeared saying that Zoom needed an update, asking him to download a script file.
🔴 Li became suspicious, refused to download the file, left the call, and asked the contact to verify their identity via a Telegram call.
🔴 After the request, the attackers deleted the chat and blocked him.
Li believes the North Korean Lazarus group was behind the attack.

Because of the anonymity and decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, these assets are harder to track, which is raising concerns among women and legal professionals.
In one case in the United States, a woman discovered that her husband had attempted to hide 12 BTC in an unknown wallet. She hired blockchain investigation experts who helped uncover the hidden assets.

The new draft law proposes taxing the sale of crypto for fiat or using it for goods and services, while crypto-to-crypto exchanges and transfers between a user's own wallets will remain tax-exempt.
Users will be required to keep records of all transactions for annual tax reporting. Authorities argue it's illogical that such a highly speculative market remains untaxed.
