🔫 In London, a gang that kidnapped a 'crypto-millionaire' was convicted, who had only $9 in his wallet.

🚬 Arthur Hayes published a new essay, stating that by the end of the year he expects Bitcoin to rise to $250,000 and Ethereum to $10,000.

⛪️ A pastor from Colorado and his wife are accused of cryptocurrency fraud amounting to $3,400,000.

🪙 Jack Dorsey's Square company is starting to deploy devices for purchasing goods with BTC.

🗽 Tether's leadership visited the White House, and now the company is working on entering the U.S. market.

💵 Yesterday, someone transferred 41,66 BTC three times from the exchange wallets #Kraken to clean wallets (a total of $1.5 billion).

➡️ The transferred crypto accounts for ~6% of their total reserve of $BTC .

⚡️ Most likely — this is just a simple transfer of Bitcoin to a new storage, but the timing of the transactions surprisingly coincided day for day with the closure of the FBI case against the exchange's founder.

Just a transfer to another storage or are big players having fun? 😔

💩 Even #Microsoft invested in crap.

🌱 The corporation decided to atone for the carbon sins of its data centers — and signed the most expensive eco-contract in history: more than $1 billion to inject 5 million tons of crap into the ground.

The project is implemented by Vaulted Deep — a company that buries manure to reduce the carbon footprint. Microsoft will be dumping crap from farms and slaughterhouses for 12 years.

🧠 It turns out that while some generate through AI, others are burying crap to prevent the world from overheating.

💵 More than 3500 websites have been infected with a sophisticated Monero miner.

🏖 The classic Coinhive died back in 2019, but the method has returned in a much more hidden form.

🖱 The hacker script evaluates the computer's power and limits the load to only 10-15% to remain unnoticed. The script stops if DevTools are open and reduces the hash rate at the first sign of overheating.

Primarily, WordPress and e-commerce CMS websites have been affected. With moderate traffic, hackers can siphon off tens of thousands of dollars from users each month, which is decent, but far from the Coinhive records (which earned around $250k a month). 😐

😂 Beware, schoolchildren have invented a new way to scam.

🪙 Hackers infected over 3,500 websites with a hidden Monero miner — malware gets onto vulnerable sites (most often WordPress and e-commerce) and runs a script in visitors' browsers that mines cryptocurrency.

"Others are ashamed of their mistakes; for me, the awareness of my own mistakes is a source of pride. As soon as we realize that imperfect understanding is one of the traits of human nature, we will understand that it is not shameful to make mistakes, but it is shameful not to be able to correct our own mistakes."

💵 The largest American bank #JPMorgan will start issuing loans secured by $BTC and $ETH

💲 JPM will organize a crypto-backed loan program as early as 2026. This will be the first instance where a major American bank accepts raw crypto assets.

➡️ Jamie Dimon recently called bitcoin a "fraud," but now he is turning 180° — the bank sees demand from family offices and hedge funds that do not want to sell crypto during market growth but need dollar liquidity.

Since June 2025, JPMorgan has already accepted ETFs as collateral, but on-chain crypto is a new level. 🧠

🇺🇸 US Banking Associations Against Issuing Licenses to Stablecoins.

💲 Five largest banking lobby associations (ABA, America’s Credit Unions, CBA, ICBA, NBA) are asking to stop the issuance of licenses for Circle, Ripple, and other crypto-entities.

⚡️ If the OCC still issues such charters, crypto-firms will gain direct access to the Fed's payment rails and favorable banking status without a full set of regulatory requirements. Bankers fear this will create a loophole, flooding the market with dozens of 'lightweight' competitors.

Traditional banks are afraid of competition but hide behind safety. They would be better off trying to enter the crypto space and corner the niche for themselves. 😐

🤡 We watch and admire!

At #JumeirahBeach, the one and only Pasha #Durov was spotted, as always in black and soaring up the steps like a Gigachad with insane confidence, "I am the main character of this simulation."

Next to him is Yulia Vavilova, his faithful companion, and a guy who looks like a paid interviewer for Lex Friedman.

As soon as the messiah noticed the camera, he walked as if preparing for $TON for $100. The walk of an alpha male, the steps barely survived such an onslaught. 💪

🇫🇷 According to a court decision, Pasha can now leave Paris for Dubai for 14 days. So we will see him more often)

But I have a question? I understand everything, okay to move at night in a cap when you haven't had time to wash your hair, but why does Durov wear a cap and glasses even in a dark gym? 😎

👃 The word "GOY" came from Jewish culture — it was used to refer to all non-Jews, outsiders.

Now this word is most often used as a meme label for ordinary people who: Are in the system, but do not realize that the system has them.

🤨 After #Trump signed law #GENIUS on stablecoins, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen issued the following statement:

🗣 Quoting: Blockchain is the foundation of the next generation of payments. The U.S. dollar will move on-chain!

🇺🇸 The new law will help solidify the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, now in the blockchain.

There is no reason to celebrate this; freedom has diminished. The foundation of the new law is strict oversight. 🔎

Now the Treasury has the right to block any suspicious transactions, and literally all stablecoins and crypto projects will depend on U.S. approval. 😏

🇬🇧 An analyst from the UK National Crime Agency received 5.5 years in prison for stealing 50 $BTC

💵 As the chief expert in the dark web and cryptocurrency, Paul Chouls was entrusted with access keys to crypto wallets seized from the co-founder of the dark web market Silk Road 2.0. Chouls sent 50 BTC to his address and then laundered it through a mixer.

📆 After 5 years, the police decided to re-investigate the transaction chain and found that the traces led to addresses where Chouls underwent KYC.

Such a drawn-out debacle occurred. For 5 years, the officer flaunted the stolen bitcoins, which were worth pennies back then, but now he could sell them for millions of dollars (but they were seized from him). 😆

🇺🇸 #ElonMusk announced a revolution in the application of stealth technologies in combat aviation

He shared publicly available technical documentation for the prototype aircraft XF-907, in the creation of which it was possible to achieve not just low visibility, but absolute invisibility thanks to the outer skin from the list of clients of Jeffrey Epstein
