🇷🇺 In Russia, a law is being prepared that from July 1, 2026, may legalize investments in cryptocurrency — but only through licensed Russian platforms, brokers, and managers.
All operations will be obliged to be conducted through such intermediaries with compliance to AML norms, and banks will be prohibited from transferring funds to illegal and foreign crypto services without their involvement.
At the same time, investors will retain access to international operations, but with reporting to the Federal Tax Service and restrictions for unqualified participants.

🇮🇷 Donald Trump stated that the US is not going to protect the Strait of Hormuz instead of other countries: according to him, those who depend on oil from the region should secure it themselves or buy fuel from America.
He also promised to continue strikes on Iran in the next 2-3 weeks, stating that the country has already lost most of its army, navy, and air defense.
@DeCenterOrg
🏦 Sovcombank plans to launch the first cryptocurrency operations for clients as early as 2026, if the necessary regulation appears in Russia.

🧬 CZ believes that quantum computers will not destroy crypto — networks will simply have to switch to new, quantum-resistant algorithms.
The main problem is not the technology itself, but that it will be difficult for decentralized projects to agree on which algorithms to implement — some networks may split into forks, and old or abandoned projects may not be updated at all.
@DeCenterOrg
🐹 In 2026, the average holding time for shitcoins on the Solana network decreased to 58 seconds — compared to 100 seconds in 2025 and a full day in 2024.
The market has accelerated to its limit — if you're still "hodling," there's a high probability that someone has already exited using you as liquidity.
@DeCenterOrg
🤖 Vitalik Buterin warned about the dangers of using AI agents, such as OpenClaw, due to security and privacy issues — 15% of OpenClaw's skills contain malicious instructions that can send data to external servers without the user's knowledge.

🪙 Vitalik Buterin stated that a 51% attack on Ethereum would cost $48 billion — while attackers risk losing a significant portion of funds due to penalties, soft forks, and community reaction.
@DeCenterOrg
🇷🇺 From April 1st, banks in Russia will no longer be able to issue loans, relying simply on card turnover or spending levels.
Now, to get a loan approved, one will have to officially confirm income, therefore, for people with 'gray' incomes, freelance work, or income from crypto, getting a loan will become noticeably more difficult.
@DeCenterOrg
🖥 In parts of Buryatia and Transbaikal region, from April 1st, a practically complete ban on cryptocurrency mining is introduced for a period of five years — until March 2031.
Authorities explain this by the overload of power grids, and the number of regions where mining is already banned has grown to 13.
Not only individual districts, but also large cities like Ulan-Ude and Chita, fell under the ban, so for many miners, this means either closing down their farms or moving to other regions.

🪙 Bitcoin is now closer to its "buy zone" than it has been in the last three years, but it is still trading approximately 21% above its realized price — most holders remain in profit.
On-chain data shows neither capitulation nor a strong influx of institutional investors, so for a classic bottom, the market may require a decline to $54,000.
@DeCenterOrg
📊 Bitcoin closed the first quarter down by 22.2%, Ethereum lost more than 29% in three months.
@DeCenterOrg

🚓 US authorities accused Jonathan Spanetta of hacking Uranium Finance in 2021, due to which the platform lost over $53,000,000 and effectively shut down.
According to the investigation, he exploited smart contract vulnerabilities and then laundered about $26 million through Tornado Cash — he faces up to 30 years in prison, while part of the funds has already been seized by law enforcement.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 Proposal BIP-360 for Bitcoin introduces a new transaction type P2MR (Pay-to-Merkle-Root), which reduces the risk of hacking by eliminating the automatic disclosure of the public key — one of the main vulnerabilities in the era of quantum computing.
The solution does not make the network fully quantum-resistant, but closes the most realistic attack scenarios, while maintaining compatibility with the current architecture.
However, implementation will require wallet updates and gradual user migration, and old addresses will remain vulnerable.
