⛽️ The Bitcoin network is currently at its maximum load in 2 years — about 820,000 transactions per day, and the main driver now is again Runes — tokens on Bitcoin already account for approximately a quarter of all network fees.

💾 Trump signed an executive order for the accelerated transition of the US to post-quantum cryptography, but with Bitcoin, everything is more complex — the decentralized network cannot be updated by an order from the White House, analysts stated.
The main risk for BTC is not mining, but signatures — if a powerful quantum computer learns how to recover private keys from revealed public ones, old vulnerable addresses will become a problem.
Therefore, Bitcoin needs not panic, but a long and complex migration — with the consent of developers, miners, exchanges, wallets, and large holders.

🇹🇭 In Thailand uncovered one of the largest crypto schemes in recent years — through a network of illegal mining farms over $300,000,000 was laundered annually, obtained from phone fraud and online gambling.
The investigation began with a probe into electricity theft, but ultimately led to eight suspects, the seizure of over 6,390 miners, and the arrests of alleged organizers from China and Myanmar.

🛒 The Russian Ministry of Finance discusses with marketplaces the tokenization of goods in warehouses — sellers will be able to convert inventory or future revenue into digital tokens and attract money faster.
Simply put, the goods are still in the warehouse, but can already function as a financial asset — attracting liquidity, accelerating turnover, and partially replacing traditional loans for sellers.

🤣 Polymarket paid bloggers for videos featuring "winnings" that in fact didn't happen — 1105 videos from 10 authors were filmed on duplicate sites without actual winnings, earning the "players" up to $3000 per month.
In 118 videos, the bloggers allegedly won $900 000, but if these deals were real, they wouldn't have made any money, instead losing approximately $166 000.

🚓 In Krasnoyarsk, a 65-year-old woman lost 5 000 000 rubles after conversations about "profitable investments" in cryptocurrency and oil .
The scheme began as a regular acquaintance, but quickly turned into manipulation — allegedly crypto specialists joined the conversation, who convinced the pensioner to invest money.
The woman knew about scammers, but under pressure from the interlocutors, she still lost critical thinking.

📉 MSUSD stablecoin lost its peg due to panic around reserves — the company that verified the stablecoin's backing refused to continue working with it.
Project representatives claim that the money is in place and the stablecoin is backed, and the problem is only in the loss of external confirmation.

@DeCenterOrg
😂 The most karmic hack of the week — the famous MEV bot JaredFromSubway, which for years profited from sandwich attacks on Ethereum, itself fell for a bait and lost over $15,000,000.
Anons slipped him fake "profitable" deals, the bot automatically granted approvals to malicious contracts — and his WETH, USDC, and USDT were simply taken via transferFrom.

🪙 Strategy needs to slow down with BTC purchases — the company's annual dividend obligations have increased almost 4-fold (to $1.2 billion), and cash reserves for 2026 decreased by 38%, according to CryptoQuant specialists.
According to analysts, if previously liquidity reserves were sufficient for more than 7 years, now it's only for approximately 14 months, so companies are advised to accumulate cash rather than continue aggressively buying Bitcoin.

🪙 Adam Back believes that Bitcoin does not need a new institutional super-flow to soar to $1,000,000 — retail and demand via ETFs are already sufficient.
According to his forecast, BTC could reach $1 million even before the end of the current halving cycle in 2028, and in the long term — catch up with gold in market capitalization.
Many believe that Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto.

🔫 The Ethereum Foundation has declared a campaign against "toxic MEV" — mechanisms that allow large players to profit by manipulating transaction orders.
The foundation believes that MEV, along with censorship and the concentration of influence in the hands of certain participants, has become one of the main threats to Ethereum's neutrality and independence.
Recently, the MEV bot JaredFromSubway, which had been profiting from sandwich attacks on Ethereum for years, took the bait and lost over $15,000,000.

🪙 Bitcoin is set to become a little more private — developers propose to remove an old technical tag, by which it is sometimes possible to understand which wallet a person used.
Previously, it showed that a transaction could be replaced with another one with a higher fee, but now this already works almost everywhere without it.
Therefore, they want to remove the extra "trace" so that transactions look more uniform and are harder to track.

🤖 Changpeng Zhao believes that the main risk of the future is not crypto, but artificial intelligence — unlike digital assets, AI can affect civilization much more severely.
At the same time, CZ still believes in the four-year Bitcoin cycle, does not see systemic risks of the Luna and FTX level in the market and expects the merger of crypto with traditional finance.
Separately, he noted that AI agents will most likely use cryptocurrency for payments, because regular banking infrastructure is too cumbersome for them.
