🪙 Strategy last week DID NOT buy Bitcoin and instead approved a stock buyback of $1 billion — it seems Saylor is temporarily shifting focus from aggressive BTC accumulation to supporting its own shares and liquidity management.

🇦🇿 In Azerbaijan, a law on crypto is planned to be adopted by the end of 2026 — the central bank has already prepared a draft law on the regulation of the crypto-asset market and submitted it for consideration to state bodies.
If the document is approved, this will be the first comprehensive law for the virtual asset market in the country, which until now has existed without a separate legal framework.

🤣 The Bank for International Settlements stated, that current stablecoins are crap USDT/USDC do not qualify as full-fledged money, because they DO NOT provide guaranteed exchange at par between different issuers and blockchains.
In essence, regulators see them not as "digital dollars", but rather as an ETF on the dollar, which, if the market grows, could strengthen dollarization and risks for weak currencies.

🪒 Investors have been withdrawing money from spot Bitcoin ETFs for 7 consecutive weeks — a total of $7.8 billion has left the funds during this period.
Only last week, the net outflow amounted to $1.8 billion.

☠️ American pensioner lost $222,000 in a romance crypto scam — a scammer named "Bella" gained his trust, moved communication to Telegram, and step-by-step withdrew his money via Coinbase to fake wallets.
US authorities have already found and seized some of the funds in USDT, but the case itself once again shows the main point — "romance + investments + crypto" almost always smells NOT of profit, but of scam.

🇮🇷 The American-Iranian truce has effectively ended — after a drone strike on the M/T Kiku tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, the US responded with massive strikes on Iranian facilities.

🪦 PumpFun increasingly resembles a meme token graveyard — almost 70% of shitcoins die on launch day, and 80% stop trading within the first two days.
The low barrier to entry has turned the market into a conveyor belt of disposable tokens — creators release an asset, wait for instant hype, and abandon it if the crowd doesn't rush in immediately.

💳 Crypto cards have become one of the most vibrant use cases for crypto — weekly transaction volumes have already exceeded $200,000,000 and have been growing almost non-stop since 2023.

📉 The number of large crypto investors has plummeted to a 6-year low — in the second quarter, only 651 remained, down from 2564 at the peak in 2022.
This is not about retail crypto enthusiasts, but about venture and large investors — capital is increasingly concentrated among a narrow group of funds, and it's becoming harder for startups to secure funding and good valuations.

📊 Crypto exchanges are increasingly turning into RWA platforms — for example, on Binance USDT-perp, volumes for metals, oil, and stocks are already surpassing many altcoins outside the top 10.
According to the head of CryptoQuant, demand for real asset contracts is growing so fast that exchanges are moving beyond being purely crypto casinos and becoming a market for gold, oil, stocks, and other RWAs.

🇮🇷 Organizations linked to Iran transferred $3.84 billion through the CoinEx exchange, making it one of the key crypto channels for evading sanctions — WSJ.

👍 Bitcoin maximalist Cory Klippsten trashed Zcash and called it a “coordinated San Francisco scam”, where privacy is sold as a big idea, but in fact almost all coins are held on exchanges.
According to him, ZEC is more of an easily movable meme asset than a serious privacy coin, he considers Monero much stronger than the “insider corporate” Zcash.

🇮🇳 In India, USDT suddenly became more expensive than the dollar — the stablecoin is being sold at a premium of over 8.5%, around 103 rupees per USDT.
The reason is a liquidity deficit after inspections of companies that, according to authorities, used USDT for international transfers bypassing currency regulations.

☠️ Another Russian woman lost 7,000,000 rubles on "crypto investments" — she listened to a curator for a month, deposited 4.6 million via transfers and another 2.4 million through an exchanger, and when she tried to withdraw the profit, it turned out that only the team of fraudsters was making money there.
The harshest moment — more than 5,000,000 rubles of this money were borrowed.

🪙 Vitalik Buterin wrote an article about obfuscation — one of the most powerful and complex tools in cryptography, which allows a program to be run such that the result is visible, but its internal logic remains hidden (under the hood).
In theory, together with blockchain, this could provide almost a "trustless trusted third party" — private voting, complex protocols without committees, and new cryptosystems.
But for now, the main problem is very severe — secure obfuscation already appears mathematically possible, but it works so slowly, that Vitalik calls it almost a "galactic" level of cost.

⛔️ Loopring is shutting down its DEX — trading has already stopped, the relayer is disabled, and user funds are promised to be automatically returned to wallets at the team's expense.
In recent months, a number of once-famous crypto projects have folded — the market is clearing out those who lacked volume, economics, or a reason to continue living.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 Criticism is growing again around Michael Saylor's Strategy — at Grayscale they believe that it's time for the company not to increase dividends on STRC, but to sell over $3 billion in BTC and close almost all cash obligations for 2 years in advance.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also hit out at Saylor's strategy, stating that the long-term value of the crypto market should be built on the utility of assets, and not on endlessly mortgaging the future for the sake of accumulating BTC.
While Saylor says volatility will pass, critics see the STRC, trading below par, as an alarming signal for the entire Strategy model.

👮♂️ A VK employee in 2020 convinced his mom to buy company shares for 2000 ₽ apiece instead of making a deposit — now showing a 90% loss and a price of about 194 ₽.

🇪🇺 CZ criticized the EU over MiCA — according to him, the refusal to issue Binance a license effectively cuts off European users from the best liquidity in the world.

🇵🇱 In Poland, members of a group that had been stealing cryptocurrency for years through SIM-swap attacks were detained — criminals intercepted phone numbers, bypassed 2FA, and gained access to cryptocurrency exchange accounts, and then laundered the stolen funds — we are talking about tens of millions of zlotys.
Polish cyber police participated in the operation with the support of the FBI, and the detainees face up to 25 years in prison.

🪙 After 7 years of inactivity, the whale sold 27,585 ETH ($45 million) at an average price of $1625 — as a result, the user realized a profit of over $39,000,000.
At the same time, at its peak, his unrealized profit exceeded $130,000,000.

📉 DeFi continues to drain liquidity — TVL has fallen every month since 2026 and has already fallen by approximately 39% since the beginning of the year, from $115 billion in January to around $70 billion today.
The main reason is the overall market cooling after the October 2025 peak. Among the major ecosystems, only TRON and Hyperliquid have remained positive.

📶 Part of the Cardano ecosystem is under threat — after the SecondFi hack, hackers have already withdrawn approximately 16,000,000 ADA from 374 wallets.
If the issue truly lies in private key generation, the risk could affect all wallets created using the vulnerable version of the application.
The team has suspended the service, promised compensation, and asked users not to transfer funds or restore their seed phrases to other wallets for the time being.
