๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) has rescinded its 2022โ€“2023 guidance that required banks to notify the regulator or obtain approval before engaging in activities involving cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.

The Board of Governors also revoked supervisory letters and joint statements with other regulators that had restricted banksโ€™ involvement in crypto assets.

This move paves the way for more flexible interaction between the traditional banking sector and the crypto market.

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต North Korean hackers linked to the Lazarus Group created three fake companies โ€” two of them based in the U.S. โ€” to distribute malware targeting cryptocurrency developers.

The goal was to infect devices through fake job interviews and steal crypto wallet keys. The companies used fake identities and AI-generated employee profiles to appear legitimate.

Since 2017, Lazarus has stolen over $3 billion in cryptocurrency, often using similar tactics.

๐Ÿช™ According to a study by Swan analysts, the HODL strategy mainly works for BTC: almost all top altcoins eventually lose up to 90% of their value relative to Bitcoin. For example, QTUM dropped in 17 months, MATIC in 23 months, and ADA and XRP in 36 months.

Even XMR, which lasted 72 months, was described by analysts as an example of "slow agony."

Over the long term, leadership once again remains with the first cryptocurrency.
