🖥 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.

🚓 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.

🪙 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.

🔍 Google Quantum AI stated that cracking the widely used ECC-256 could require significantly fewer resources than previously thought — less than 500 000 qubits and only a few minutes.
The company urges the industry to urgently switch to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
ECC-256 is a type of elliptic curve cryptography with a 256-bit key. Simply put, it is one of the most popular ways to protect data and crypto wallets — it provides a high level of security with a relatively small key size.

☠️ Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs warned about a new wave of cryptocurrency fraud: attackers offer fake P2P deals in messengers — they impersonate intermediaries or exchange support, fake SMS from the bank and use multiple accounts to create the appearance of an honest deal.
As a result, the victim sends money or cryptocurrency, but receives nothing. Such schemes particularly often operate through "customer support" in private messages and fake chats of well-known exchanges.

🧬 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.
