British church treasurer jailed over crypto

In Shifnal (United Kingdom), church treasurer Desmond Rogers of St. Andrew's has been sentenced to imprisonment for stealing over £170,000 from donations made by parishioners and scouts.

From 2018 to 2023, he secretly siphoned funds from church accounts and invested them in a cryptocurrency scheme that turned out to be fraudulent. All the money was stolen, and Rogers described himself as a 'victim of deception'.

The court found him guilty of theft and fraud. The exact sentence is not disclosed, but according to British practice, he faces up to 7 years in prison.

Meanwhile, in the USA, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell has launched his own meme coin LORENZO and is urging believers to 'support it with dollars'.

Crypto does not forgive gullibility, even if you are in a cassock.

Peter Schiff: "The Party is Over" — A Warning to the Bitcoin Community

BTC critic Peter Schiff criticized Trump for pressuring the Fed and the idea of buying BTC with tariffs and gold certificates.

He stated that tariffs will hit the wallets of Americans, not foreign producers. He added that at the May Bitcoin conference, there will be a "reality check" for crypto enthusiasts — similar to what happened before the mortgage crash of 2006.

Meanwhile, Trump is exploring the possibility of replenishing the Strategic Reserve of Bitcoin without touching taxes — through revenue from tariffs and the revaluation of gold certificates.

BTC is trading at $84,645 and rising. Are you ready for the reality check?

AltLayer added MACH — modular asynchronous consensus

Astar Network provided infrastructure and dual staking with $ASTR

EigenLayer enhanced security through re-staking and validators with $ETH

What does this offer?

Real-time cross-chain transfers

A breakthrough for DeFi, gaming, and social platforms

Reliability and decentralization without sacrificing speed

Is Dogecoin preparing for a leap to a new level?

Timothy Stebbing from the Dogecoin Foundation has lifted the veil on the future — the Layer 2 era is already close.

What does this mean?
DOGE may gain smart contracts, next-generation payment solutions, tokenization of real assets, and even an identification system. From meme-coin to infrastructure fintech!

Stebbing honestly warns: with technology, hype will follow, and along with it — scammers. The line between opportunity and trap will become thinner.

But if everything goes according to plan…
Dogecoin could replicate the success of L2 platforms based on Ethereum (let's recall Arbitrum, Base). And with the arrival of major players, PoW could shift to PoS.

It seems that DOGE is no longer just a coin for fun. This is a bid for a new role in the world of crypto.

Are you ready for the new era of Dogecoin?

Is the Ripple court drama coming to a close?

The U.S. Court of Appeals has temporarily suspended the proceedings between the SEC and Ripple. The parties filed a joint motion, hinting at a fundamental agreement. Ripple seeks to lift the ban on institutional sales of XRP and reduce the fine from $125M to $50M.

The SEC is required to report on the status no later than June 15.
Attorney Fred Rispoli is confident that a complete settlement will occur before May 25.

A new chapter in the Ripple case may begin very soon.
Let's keep track of the developments together!

Integration of XRP into SWIFT: a real step or loud fantasy?

The XRP community is once again heated by rumors of a possible partnership between Ripple and SWIFT. Especially against the backdrop of the impending conclusion of the legal saga with the SEC, the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin, and the acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25 billion.

But are there any real grounds?

Ripple is indeed involved in DLT projects—but not with SWIFT, rather with its partners.

Compatibility with ISO 20022 is a fact. But that does not yet imply cooperation.

SWIFT remains silent for now. And so does Ripple.

For now, there is more noise than signals. XRP could gain enormous benefits even from a small portion of SWIFT's volumes, but as of today, this is merely a community wish and not a confirmed deal.

Let’s focus on the facts, not the hype.

Strategy holds 531,644 BTC: a bet on growth or playing with fire?

As of April 13, Strategy has accumulated 531,644 BTC — this is 2.52% of the total issuance. A total of $35.92 billion has been spent, with an average purchase price of $67,556.

How are purchases financed?
Through the issuance of low-coupon convertible bonds. Investors can exchange them for shares of Strategy ($MSTR). The money goes directly into Bitcoin.

Why does this work?
The model is effective when BTC rises. The company attracts funds cheaply, and investors believe in growth.

Where is the risk?
A decline in Bitcoin could lead to unrealized losses and undermine interest in the shares. Strategy has already acknowledged a 'paper' loss of nearly $6 billion amid recession fears.

A large bet means large volatility. But those who don’t take risks…

Largest outflow from crypto funds since February: $795 million in a week

According to CoinShares, investors withdrew nearly $800 million from crypto investment products. Since the beginning of February, the total outflow has exceeded $7.2 billion. The reason is the renewed trade tensions between the US and China: 25% tariffs and Trump's rhetoric have cooled risk appetite.

What is important: • The US lost $763 million, of which $707.9 million was from spot BTC funds alone
• Ethereum funds lost $82.5 million
• Europe and Asia saw another $34.3 million
• Inflows were recorded only in Canada, Brazil, and Australia: $2.7 million

Nevertheless, crypto prices rose by the end of the week, and assets under management recovered to $130 billion (+8% for the week).

Investors are not fleeing from crypto, they just hit the pause button.

The SEC launches a regulatory sandbox for crypto!

Now exchanges will be able to experiment with tokenized assets within an official framework.
This will pave the way for trading security tokens 24/7 without intermediaries — faster, cheaper, more accessible.

What's important: — The new head of the SEC — Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump
— He has long supported the crypto industry
— The US is taking a step towards innovation in DeFi and Web3

The future is already here.
Tokenization is not a trend, it is a transformation.

Buterin: Values are More Important than Technology

Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin reminded that it is the goals and beliefs of the developers that determine the usefulness of decentralized applications for society.

He highlighted Farcaster, Polymarket, and Signal as examples of useful projects. Pump.fun, FTX, and Terra were mentioned as examples of harmful philosophy.

> "Programs depend 80% on goals. The values of their creators decide everything," — Vitalik.

He also reminded that user privacy is a priority in the future "roadmap" of Ethereum.

Financial Storm: Salvation Lies in Gold and Swiss Franc

When markets are turbulent, investors seek reliable havens. And now, gold and the Swiss franc have become such havens.

— The dollar has fallen to 2018 levels
— The franc strengthened to 0.8100 — down 12% from the 2024 peak
— Gold soared to $3240 — +125% since the pandemic and +24% just in 2025
— S&P 500 and Nasdaq are down
— Even Bitcoin has retraced from $109,300 to $85,000

Switzerland is an island of stability: neutrality, banking secrecy, investments in giants like Apple and Microsoft. And gold remains a shiny asset in both literal and figurative senses.

In simple terms: the market is trembling, but money does not disappear — it seeks refuge.

SEC allows temporary exemptions for crypto projects in the USA

Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda stated that the accelerated implementation of a temporary regulatory framework could promote the growth of the crypto industry:

> "A limited-time conditional exemption system… could enable the introduction of more innovations in blockchain technology in the USA in the near term."

Uyeda noted that such a framework would ease the burden on market participants, allowing for the offering of tokenized assets under a single regulation, without the bureaucracy of 50 different states:

> "Blockchain technology allows for securities transactions to be completed more efficiently and reliably than currently."

Soon, the SEC chair position will transition to Paul Atkins, who was confirmed by the Senate on April 10.

Vitalik Buterin: Privacy in Crypto is Not a Luxury, but a Necessity
The co-founder of Ethereum presented a roadmap for protecting user data. Key directions:
— Private transactions — integration of solutions like Railgun and Privacy Pools into default wallets.
— Activity anonymization — 'one address per application' to conceal the connection between actions.
— Security of RPC calls — first TEE, then PIR with cryptography.
— Network anonymity — connecting to multiple nodes via mixnet.
— Optimization of L1 and L2 — FOCIL standards, EIP-7701, proof aggregation, and new key storage models.
Privacy is a priority, and this is just the beginning.
P.S. Recently, Vitalik sold 5000 DHN — the token price dropped by 50%.
