**Bitcoin set a new record**
The price of Bitcoin has surpassed **$110,000** for the first time, reaching **$117,675** on the world's largest exchanges. This growth is associated with institutional investments, increased demand, and the celebration of **Bitcoin Pizza Day** — the day of the first purchase with BTC.
Interestingly, Bitcoin continues to strengthen its position among the largest global assets. Its capitalization has exceeded **$2.2 trillion**, making it the fifth-largest traded asset in the world.
**Hack of the CETUS crypto exchange**
Hackers withdrew **$200 million** from the CETUS crypto exchange, leading to a collapse of tokens on the platform by **70–90%**. This event has once again raised questions about the security of DeFi and the risks of investing in decentralized platforms.
According to analysts, attackers targeted liquidity pools of the exchange, leading to a sharp decline in the prices of tokens in the Sui ecosystem. In response to the incident, the CETUS team temporarily suspended the smart contract operations and initiated an investigation.
**Bitcoin Pizza Day — 15 years since the first purchase**
On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid **10,000 BTC** for two Papa John’s pizzas. Today, those Bitcoins would be worth over **$1.1 billion**. This day has become a legend in the crypto world and is celebrated annually by the crypto community.
Bitcoin Pizza Day serves as a reminder of how far the crypto industry has come in the last 15 years. In 2010, Bitcoin was merely an experiment, and today it has become one of the most valuable assets in the world.
