🌏 The IMF has added recommendations on digital assets to global statistical standards:

1️⃣ Bitcoin and similar assets without obligations are classified as capital assets (things that can be owned but are not money or debt obligations), while stablecoins with obligations are considered financial instruments.

2️⃣ Cross-border cryptocurrency transfers, including BTC, will be recorded as transactions involving non-produced assets.

3️⃣ Coins with a platform or protocol (e.g., ETH, SOL) may be classified as equity-like assets if the owner resides in a different country than the creator.

☠️ Fraudsters have learned to hack smart homes, creating botnets for cryptocurrency mining and DDoS attacks.

Analysts recommend using trusted brands, strong passwords, changing the network name, and keeping devices updated.
