📈 Stocks #GoPro soared by +50% — Redditors are at it again!

The story is just like in the good old days of $GME — only now it's on the GoPro stage.

An army of Reddit's 'mom's basement' gamblers is stirring the pot again: they're buying up shares en masse and everywhere they shout "BET EVERYTHING ON GPRO!" 📈

🎯 The goal is simple and brilliant: to crush the hedge funds that are shorting GoPro and waiting for its decline. But instead of a decline, they get a sweaty hat.

Meme-economics in action. 😁

🇬🇧 In the UK, a gang was arrested for kidnapping a 'crypto millionaire', but they found only $9 in his accounts.

🎥 21-year-old Quentin Tseplyak was boasting about his crypto wealth in TikTok comments, where he was found by a girl pretending to be the heiress of a crazy family fortune, inviting him to her lavish home in central London (which turned out to be a shady Airbnb).

☕️ Three armed men were already waiting in the apartment, wanting to force him to transfer £500,000 (about $700k) to their wallets, but the crypto mogul only had £6.71 (≈ $9).

In the end, the kidnappers agreed to release him for a ransom of £2,000 from a bank card, and the police quickly tracked down their trail; the four participants in the crime now face a hefty sentence. 🍿

😐 Pastor from Colorado defrauded parishioners of $3.4 million by launching a fake coin.

💲 Eli Regalado convinced trusting people that the Almighty guaranteed a 10-fold increase of his coin. Together with his wife, they scammed about 300 believers out of $3.4 million.

🧠 An interesting fact is that this was not a typical rug pull scheme; the couple promoted their coin INDXcoin through their own fake platform Kingdom Wealth Exchange, meaning there was essentially no liquidity.

The investigation accounted for at least $1.3 million in personal expenses, which he apparently claimed was "God's will": for the renovation of a mansion, cars, vacations, and luxury clothing. 🤔
Amen

🪙 Last night, $BNB reached a historic high above $800.

🪙 About 519,000 ETH worth $1.9 billion are waiting to exit staking — the largest figure since January 2024.

🪙 Tether disclosed part of its investment portfolio — the CEO reported that the issuer of USDT has already invested in over 120 companies, and this number will grow.

📊 Shares of companies that are buying altcoins are rising faster than the coins themselves — on average, by 150% in a day and over 220% in a month, while cryptocurrency rates hardly change.

🪙 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.

💲 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). 😆
