$BTC in May 2025 surprises with curiosities.

The price of BTC recently reached $94,537, but in 2021 the network experienced a funny glitch: the DarkSide hackers received a ransom, and the U.S. government returned part of the BTC, proving that anonymity is a myth.

In 2013, British man James Howell threw away a hard drive with 7500 BTC, which are now worth $700 million, and is still digging in the landfill.

The first purchase with BTC in 2010 was two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, which is now $945 million! And in 2024, after the halving, the price jumped to $106,140, but then fell due to U.S. tariffs.

Bitcoin is not just finance, but also stories that make you laugh and cry.

🚀 The new bill #USHouseMarketStructureDraft changes the rules of the game for the crypto market! 📜

The committees of the U.S. House of Representatives have proposed a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. The SEC will regulate tokens as investment contracts, while the CFTC will oversee digital commodities and spot markets. The law exempts secondary transactions with digital assets from securities laws and introduces a decentralization test. This is a step towards transparency and consumer protection! 💪

Binance is already preparing for new opportunities and how this will affect the market?

#FOMCMeeting

📊 FOMC Meeting on May 6–7, 2025, in the spotlight! 💸

The Fed is expected to keep the rate at 4.25–4.5%, but the market is waiting for hints from Jerome Powell about the future. 📉

Trump's tariffs and uncertainty with inflation are putting pressure on the crypto market — Bitcoin may test support at $91.5k–$92k. 🚨

Investors on Binance are preparing for volatility: 94% are confident in maintaining the rate, but Powell's speech at 21:00 MSK could shake the market. 📈

Stay tuned for news and trade wisely, avoiding high leverage! What do you think, will there be a hint at a rate cut in June? 💬

#MarketPullback

📉 Is the cryptocurrency market experiencing a pullback? On Binance, this is not a crash, but a healthy correction. 📊 Bitcoin has fallen below $97,000, and altcoins are losing up to 40% due to macroeconomic factors such as new U.S. tariffs. 😱

Binance CEO Richard Teng calls this a "tactical retreat," emphasizing the resilience of the crypto market. 💪

The fear and greed index at level 21 signals panic, but demand for crypto ETFs remains strong. 📈

This is a chance to buy on the dip! Use support levels ($82k-$85k for BTC). Be cautious with leverage and trade wisely!🚀

#USStablecoinBill

🔍 The bill in the USA is causing controversy! 📜 The GENIUS Act, regulating stablecoins, has faced resistance: 10 senators, including Democrats, withdrew support due to shortcomings in AML and national security. Binance, the largest exchange, is already using USDC as currency for Binance Pay and has integrated the USD1 stablecoin from World Liberty Financial in a $2 billion deal with MGX.

The law could strengthen the dollar and trust in stablecoins, but critics, including Elizabeth Warren, fear leniencies for major players like Tether🚀

How will this affect Binance and the crypto market? I look forward to your comments!)

Solana (SOL) in May 2025 shows confident growth, trading around $150 with forecasts of $180–$250 by the end of the year. Analysts note that support at the level of $136 is holding the price, and a breakout above $160 could trigger a new wave of growth.

Institutional interest is rising: companies like Janover and Upexi are actively buying$SOL , and Canada has launched its first spot ETFs. The network leads in DEX trading volume ($1.7 billion per day), surpassing Ethereum.

Despite the volatility and risks associated with past failures, Solana attracts DeFi projects and meme coins, while low fees (92% lower than the peak) stimulate development. Experts believe in the potential for $SOL to reach $400 in 2025.

What do you think, will we continue to grow?

Points are again available in the center of tasks. I wonder if it will last for a week or not.

It turns out that there are not so many curiosities with the USD Coin ($USDC ) — a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, but its history is not without its quirks. In 2023, the price of USDC fell to $0.88 due to panic caused by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, where $3.3 billion in reserves were held. Binance and Coinbase temporarily suspended conversions, and traders joked that 'stability is a myth.' In 2021, Circle, the issuer of USDC, changed the wording from 'backed by dollars' to 'fully reserved assets,' sparking debates about transparency. Another case: in 2024, users accidentally 'burned' USDC by sending tokens to incorrect addresses in DeFi protocols. USDC is stability, spiced with human errors and market mishaps.

New task in the learn and earn section.

But why is it only available for those who have not used staking?

I gathered some interesting facts about $SOL — a blockchain known for its transaction speed and low fees, but its history is full of quirks.

In 2021, the network 'crashed' for 17 hours due to bots attacking the decentralized exchange. Developers had to 'restart' the blockchain, which led to a wave of memes on social media.

In 2022, a hacker stole $100 million in tokens, but mistakenly sent part of it to a non-existent address, giving the community a reason to joke about 'donating to nowhere'.

In 2023, a bug in the Solana wallet caused users to accidentally burn their NFTs while trying to transfer them.

Another funny moment: early Solana users joked that their validators 'heat up better than a home heater'.

Solana is a technology seasoned with a comedy of errors and human factors.
