☠️ The head of CryptoQuant believes that in an environment of increasing financial censorship, "dark" stablecoins may emerge — resistant to freezes and operating without a central issuer.

Such solutions are already appearing in the form of algorithmic or anonymous projects, often built on technologies like Monero and Zcash.

Some major darknet marketplaces are also launching their own tokens — for example, Huione Guarantee introduced USDH, a stablecoin designed to bypass regulatory oversight and asset freezes. This move followed the freezing of their USDT accounts due to alleged ties with the Lazarus hacking group.

🦊 Rumors are swirling once again that MetaMask is about to launch its own token — something first hinted at back in 2021, when a ConsenSys co-founder mentioned the possibility. Since then, similar news has surfaced more than once — but the token still hasn’t materialized.

Recently, one of MetaMask’s co-founders confirmed the idea is still on the table, but no decisions have been made. Any official updates will come through MetaMask’s own channels — don’t fall for fakes.

☠️ Coinbase lost up to $400 000 000 due to a recent data breach (covering investigation costs, compensation, and enhanced security) — hackers gained access to customer information by bribing overseas call center employees.

The company refused to pay the ransom and pledged to reimburse affected users. Less than 1% of customers were impacted, and no passwords or funds were compromised.
