#BTCBreaks99K Well, it happened — #BTCBreaks99K ! The chats on Binance just exploded, everyone is discussing the breakout of the historical level. Some are shouting "To the Moon!", while others are already taking profit and exiting. Honestly? I’m a bit shocked, although I held a long position and believed. Bitcoin has proven that it can still surprise. Now the main question is — what’s next? The psychological mark of 100k is already close, and if we break it, a real crypto frenzy will begin. The main thing is not to panic, not to be greedy, and to remember that after a rise there is a correction. But this day will definitely go down in history!

Opinion: the Pectra upgrade will not 'boost' the price of Ethereum 05.06.2025 Roman Petrov Ethereum logo, melting in the heat ethereum
The hard fork Pectra scheduled for May 7 in the Ethereum network is unlikely to lead to a noticeable increase in the cryptocurrency. This was stated in an interview with Bloomberg by Edward Chen, co-founder of Parataxis Capital.
The update, anticipated by many, will improve the efficiency and utility of the network, the expert noted. But Ethereum needs to find incentives for further adoption, as well as reasons for investors to hold on to their coins, he added.
The previous major upgrade, Dencun, was activated by developers in April 2024.
Pectra includes a series of improvements aimed at enhancing the usability and efficiency of the network. One of the important innovations is the addition of smart contract functionality to wallets, which simplifies their use and recovery.
Among other options is the doubling of BLOB object capacity, from which L2 solutions will benefit.
#USHouseMarketStructureDraft According to Odaily, the new discussion project on market structure by the U.S. House of Representatives aims to clarify the classification of transactions involving digital goods. As reported by Forbes journalist Eleanor Terrett, the project states on page 49 that transactions related to the sale of digital goods are not considered securities, provided that they do not grant the buyer ownership rights in the business, profits, or assets of the issuer. Essentially, buying and selling digital goods on the secondary market, rather than directly from the issuer, will not automatically trigger U.S. securities laws if the sale does not confer ownership rights or claims to profits or assets of the company.
#FOMCMeeting Meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the U.S. Federal Reserve is scheduled for May 7, 2025. At this meeting, a decision on the interest rate is expected, which was maintained at 4.25%-4.5% during the previous meeting on March 19, 2025. According to the latest data and forecasts, the Fed is likely to keep the rate unchanged, continuing the pause in the rate-cutting cycle that began in January 2025. At the same time, updated economic forecasts on inflation, GDP growth, and unemployment are expected to be published. In March 2025, the Fed noted an increase in uncertainty in the economy and raised inflation expectations for 2025 and 2026, while maintaining forecasts for rate cuts of about 50 basis points over the year.

#EUPrivacyCoinBan EU is once again "caring" about us: more control, less freedom! Another "brilliant" step from Eurobureaucrats: now they will dig even deeper into our wallets! 🤑 Starting in 2027, every crypto transaction over 1,000 euros will require identity verification, and private coins like Monero and Zcash are set to be completely banned. What is this, if not total control? Instead of fighting real criminals, the EU is suffocating the financial freedom of ordinary people. Who needs anonymity? After all, the government knows better how to manage your money!
#AirdropSafetyGuide Airdrop Safety Guide 1. Verify the Project Before participating in an Airdrop, verify the authenticity of the project. Check the official website, social media (Twitter, Telegram, Discord), and information about the team members. If there is insufficient information about the project or it raises doubts, it is advisable not to participate. 2. Never Share Your Private Keys Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Official airdrops usually only ask for your wallet address, which is considered safe. 3. Create a Separate Wallet Create a new wallet separated from your main funds for participating in the airdrop. This will protect your main funds in case the airdrop turns out to be fraudulent. 4. Be Careful with Phishing Links To avoid falling for fake websites and phishing links, check official sources. Carefully review URLs and do not open links sent from unknown sources. 5. Do Not Touch Suspicious Tokens

The head of OpenAI and developer of ChatGPT Sam Altman announced the launch of a cryptocurrency project called World (WLD) in the USA. It can be obtained in exchange for scanning the iris of the eye, writes The Verge.
The image of the retina after scanning is converted into a unique hash code. This code will serve as proof that the owner of the World ID profile is a human, not an AI.
As a reward for providing biometrics, users receive up to 150 WLD. The company plans to issue a Visa debit card that will allow converting WLD into fiat currency.
Cryptocurrencies have squandered their early potential and have turned into tools for speculation, becoming trapped by a few centralized platforms. This conclusion was made by the renowned cryptographer and one of the co-authors of the RSA algorithm, Adi Shamir, as reported by The Register.
At the RSA Conference in San Francisco, the 72-year-old programmer noted that the original vision of Satoshi Nakamoto for Bitcoin was "very elevated". However, the promise to build a system for decentralized digital money exchange without government and financial institution interference has not been fulfilled, Shamir believes.
#DigitalAssetBill The law on financial innovations and technologies for the 21st century, known as the Digital Asset Bill, aims to create clear definitions, exceptions, and registration procedures for participants in the digital asset market under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The bill provides a mechanism for recognizing blockchains as decentralized, allowing the SEC to challenge the claims of token issuers. It also introduces a disclosure system requiring issuers to provide information about the economics of projects, development plans, and potential risks. The bill amends U.S. securities legislation, requiring the SEC to consider innovations when developing regulations. The initiative is sponsored by French Hill (Republican from Arkansas), who calls the bill "landmark", emphasizing its role in protecting consumers and supporting innovation in the United States.
The share of sustainable energy sources in Bitcoin mining reached 52.4% compared to 37.6% in 2022. This data is provided in the report by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF).
In the current figure, 42.6% comes from renewable sources, 9.8% from nuclear power. The share of natural gas increased from 25% to 38.2%, while the use of coal generation fell from 36.6% to 8.9%. Data: CCAF. Researchers collected data through a survey of 49 mining companies that control about 48% of the cryptocurrency's hash rate. The headquarters of the respondents are located in 17 jurisdictions, and mining operations are conducted in 23 countries.
Experts noted that the focus of the study on North American companies (75.4% of the examined activity was attributed to the USA) somewhat distorts the overall picture. However, CCAF specialists believe that the results accurately reflect the trends and issues in the industry.
