🍿 Vitalik Buterin left Telegram
Vitalik believes that 2026 will be a turning point in the restoration of computational self-sovereignty — the ability of individuals and organizations to independently control their data, software, and digital infrastructure. In his opinion, the significance of this process extends far beyond the blockchain industry and affects the entire digital environment.
In 2025, Buterin took two fundamental steps in this direction. He almost completely switched to decentralized tools for working with open-source documentation and end-to-end encryption.
Additionally, he made Signal his primary messenger, abandoning the use of Telegram.

📊 Markets are increasingly clearly pricing in the approach of turbulence: the largest holders of US government bonds — Japan, Great Britain, and China — have reduced their positions to 2008 lows.
The massive sell-off of treasuries leads to rising yields and more expensive money, which rapidly shrinks global liquidity.
Historically, such processes first hit bonds, then stocks, and the crypto market ultimately takes the sharpest hit.

☠️ In an analytical thread, a scheme of manipulation with the RIVER token is being examined, in which, according to the author, Bitget exchange's infrastructure played a key role.
Through a network of thousands of connected wallets, a significant portion of the token's supply was concentrated, after which the assets were gradually withdrawn from the exchange and held off-market — the total volume of withdrawn funds is estimated at approximately $22 million, and at the price peak, the position reached about $300–350 million.
The analyst notes that such operations either occurred with the exchange's assistance or without proper control on its part, and points out that similar incidents involving Bitget have been recorded previously.

🎤 CZ spoke today at the Davos forum, key points:
🔵 Crypto is no longer an experiment and already functions as a global financial infrastructure.
🔵 Three key growth drivers: tokenization, payments, and AI.
🔵 Tokenization is of interest to states — it allows for faster asset monetization.
🔵 Cryptocurrencies will become the base "currency" for AI agents.
🔵 Crypto infrastructure is more resilient than banks in stress scenarios.
🔵 Banks will not disappear, but will become digital — physical offices will be phased out.
🔵 Universal regulation does not exist: each country needs its own model.
