📺 CZ gave a new interview in which stated, that in 5 years the word "crypto" may almost disappear from use — blockchain will simply become a basic financial infrastructure, just as the internet became an ordinary part of life.
In his opinion, traditional finance and the crypto market will merge into one system, tokenized assets will simply become assets, and AI agents will specifically need blockchain for calculations, because the banking system is too old and inconvenient for them.

🇫🇷 In France charged 88 people, including teenagers, in cases of "wrench attacks" — violent attacks for access to crypto wallets.
The investigation showed that organized groups are behind a series of 12 cases, involved in multiple attacks.
The number of such crimes is growing rapidly (67 cases in 2025 and dozens already in 2026), so authorities warn — displaying crypto assets on social media increasingly makes people targets.

🔐 How long does it take to crack a password? Everything is decided by length and variety of characters: 8 characters consisting of letters, numbers, and symbols can be brute-forced in about 5 months, while 12 characters with the same set — already up to 10 million years.
A normal long password with numbers, letters, and symbols is practically impossible to guess by brute force, while short and simple combinations, such as qwerty123, are cracked almost instantly.

🚬 Not a day without a hack — today Scallop, one of the leading DeFi protocols on Sui, was hacked.
The exploit affected the sSUI reward pool side-contract, from which approximately 150,000 SUI were stolen, but the main contracts and other pools remained secure.
Scallop has already frozen the affected contract and promised to compensate 100% of losses at its own expense.

🪙 A reorganization of 13 blocks occurred in the Litecoin network after a zero-day vulnerability attack — attackers disrupted the operation of large mining pools and attempted to conduct invalid transactions via MimbleWimble Extension Block.
The developers rolled back the blockchain — the attack lasted over three hours and affected several cross-chain protocols.

🪙 Bitmine has never closed a month without buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ETH — the company has been consistently buying the asset since summer 2025.
Bitmine currently holds about 5 million ETH, of which about 3.33 million ETH are staked.

💎 Adam Back said that he made a bet that Bitcoin will reach $1 000 000 before the next halving in 2028.
Many believe that Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto.

🖨 Tether printed 1 000 000 000 USDT.
Today, Tether blocked 344 000 000 USDT on the Tron network.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 To Binance over the past two months flowed in over $6 billion in stablecoins — this is one of the clearest signals of liquidity inflow into the market.
Typically, such volumes indicate that large players are holding capital ready and waiting for the moment to enter crypto.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 Ethereum — the only true stablecoin:
🔵 On April 26, 2021, it cost $2,328
🔵 On April 27, 2026, again $2,328.
Five years, thousands of updates, ETFs, DeFi, staking, L2 — "and the cart is still there."

💳 Western Union is preparing to launch its own stablecoin USDPT on the Solana blockchain as early as May — as an alternative to SWIFT transfers.
In parallel, the company is building a digital asset network to integrate crypto wallets with its global network and will later release the USD Stable Card, strengthening its entry into crypto payments.
@DeCenterOrg
🤣 On Polymarket, only 3% of traders actually set prices and take the lion's share of profits — the remaining participants mostly lose money, effectively "funding" this small group.
@DeCenterOrg
💸 DeFi United has already raised over 100,000 ETH ($234 million) for Aave's recovery after the Kelp hack — this almost covers the $290 million damage.
Mantle contributed the most — 30,000 ETH, and DAO Aave — 25,000 ETH; another approximately 30,700 ETH was returned by freezing stolen funds in Arbitrum.

⚖️ In the US, 22-year-old Evan Tangeman was sentenced to 70 months in prison for participating in a crypto fraud scheme worth $263,000,000.
The stolen money was laundered through a complex network and spent on a luxurious life — expensive mansions, Lamborghinis, Rolexes, and other attributes of "successful success".

🔫 Trump was shot at again — at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton, a man with several weapons attempted to breach a security checkpoint, gunfire ensued, one agent was hit in the bulletproof vest, and Trump, Melania, and Vance were urgently evacuated.
The suspect was apprehended, the motive has not yet been disclosed, but the story has already become a political shock — especially given that this is the very hotel where Reagan was shot in 1981.
Crypto also quickly entered the narrative: a version spread on social media that the suspect had MetaMask with TRUMP and MELANIA, but there is no official confirmation of this yet.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 Bitcoin network activity has fallen to 2018 bear market levels, although the price has grown many times since then.
Analysts believe this may indicate a shift in demand towards institutional players — Bitcoin is increasingly being used through centralized services, rather than directly on-chain.

🇪🇺 The ECB has chosen payment standards for the digital euro and will build the infrastructure on existing open technologies ECPC, nexo standards and Berlin Group.
The idea is to reduce implementation costs for banks and businesses, accelerate the launch of CBDC, and reduce Europe's dependence on Visa, Mastercard, and global digital wallets.
The first issue of the digital euro is still tentatively expected in 2029.
@DeCenterOrg
🍿 A quantum computer for the first time demonstrated a real attack on elliptic curve cryptography — a researcher recovered a 15-bit key and received 1 BTC from Project Eleven for it.
The threat to Bitcoin is still very far off — BTC uses 256-bit keys, and cracking them requires orders of magnitude more power than current capabilities.
But the fact itself is important: the quantum threat to blockchains increasingly looks not like science fiction, but a matter of time and engineering progress.

⛽️ Ethereum remains the absolute leader in daily fees — over the last 24 hours, the network collected about $2,700,000.
For comparison, its closest competitor Hyperliquid collected approximately $1.7 million, and Tron — just over $1 million.
@DeCenterOrg
❤️ DeFi projects launched the DeFi United initiative to help Aave recover after the attack on KelpDAO and cover the collateral deficit — Lido, Golem, Mantle and other projects are ready to allocate a total of 43 500 ETH.
Following the announcement of the initiative, the outflow of funds from Aave, according to analysts, stopped.
Recall that, hackers breached the KelpDAO protocol and withdrew 116 500 ETH worth approximately $293 million.

🇵🇱 Polish crypto exchange Zondacrypto announced the loss of access to a wallet with 4,503 BTC worth approximately $350 million — according to the CEO, the former owner of the platform disappeared without transferring the keys.
Amidst the scandal, users withdrew almost all BTC (up to 99% of reserves).

⚖️ A soldier was arrested in the US for participating in the operation to detain Nicolás Maduro and simultaneously betting on its outcome on Polymarket, earning approximately $400 000 on the insider trade.

🇧🇾 In Belarus approved the model for crypto banks: at the start — 26 cryptocurrencies (including BTC, ETH, TON, SOL, and stablecoins) and 11 types of operations.
Key services are permitted — crypto deposits, loans, staking, transfers, exchange, storage, and token issuance.
The format will be made "live" — the list of currencies and functions will be expanded based on demand and work with investors.
