🗽 US authorities are preparing new rules that will force stablecoin issuers like USDT and USDC to be able to freeze and block any suspicious transfers.
Companies will have to track possible money laundering and sanctions evasion themselves — otherwise, regulators may intervene directly.

🤣 CZ said that SBF "in all seriousness" asked him for a couple of billion dollars during the call—"as if he were asking for a sausage sandwich."
He emphasized, however, that he had no plans to buy FTX, and that the letter of intent was merely a formality to assess the situation and protect users.

⛽️ Bitcoin network fees are currently at their lowest — such values haven't been seen for almost 15 years.
This means that people are using the network less (fewer transactions and less activity). This is usually considered a negative signal for the market — implying that interest in BTC is falling, but this does not guarantee a price drop.

🇷🇺 The Government of the Russian Federation has introduced a bill that equates cryptocurrency to foreign currency values and introduces currency control rules for it.
From July 1st, Russians will have to notify the Federal Tax Service about foreign wallets and report on transactions, and transactions between residents will be severely restricted.
At the same time, opening foreign wallets is not prohibited, but liability for violations is not yet specified — this will probably be added later.

🎛 After the release of Changpeng Zhao's book, an old conflict flared up— OKX CEO accused him of lying and distorting events from the OKCoin era.
Zhao himself claims he left due to disagreements and denies forging contracts, admitting that someone else could have used his account.
In response, the head of OKX calls him a "pathological liar", states that there is evidence of forgery, and accuses him of market manipulation — the dispute has been ongoing since 2014–2015.

🍿 CZ released a book «Freedom of Money», interesting points:
🔵 Why the FTX exchange collapsed so quickly. Caroline Ellison publicly stated that she was ready to buy back the FTT token at $22 — this was a mistake, as the market perceived this price as a ceiling and began actively shorting. As a result, the token collapsed.
🔵 Missed opportunity with Ethereum. CZ met Vitalik back in 2013 and knew about Ethereum from the very beginning, but he didn't invest because he doubted whether the idea was even feasible.
🔵 Story with the SEC head. In 2019, CZ met Gary Gensler and even offered him to become an advisor to Binance — he refused, saying he wanted to head the SEC. A few years later, it was under him that the regulator filed a lawsuit against Binance.
🔵 Why LUNA wasn't sold at its peak. Binance invested $3 million in LUNA back in 2018; by the time of the collapse, the position had grown to $1.6 billion, but Changpeng Zhao refused to sell: he didn't want to exacerbate market panic. As a result, the asset virtually zeroed out.

🇰🇿 In Kazakhstan, the investigation into the NBC TV financial pyramid, which promised up to 10% profit per day allegedly for watching movie trailers, has been completed — the investigation revealed that new participants' money was converted into cryptocurrency via P2P platforms, after which law enforcement officers seized over 1,000,000 USDT.
According to the authorities, the organizers attracted people through the internet and messengers, and the entire scheme worked only due to new deposits — a classic pyramid disguised as "investments."

🇮🇷 Donald Trump stated that the coming night could become a turning point for Iran: according to him, the current regime has effectively fallen, and the country could be led by "less radical" forces.

🪙 Strategy continues to buy Bitcoin, but at the same time the company has already accumulated a paper loss of more than $14.5 billion for the quarter — despite constant purchases, BTC is trading below their average entry price, which keeps performance weak.
This puts pressure on the company — shares are not growing, and the strategy has not yet brought the expected effect.
@DeCenterOrg
🇮🇳 India tightens control over crypto traders — tax authorities are sending out notices regarding undeclared income from past years.
This refers to a review of declarations (primarily for the years 2021–22) based on automated calculations, which do not always reflect actual profit.
In case of discrepancies, traders will have to pay fines.
