🇮🇷 Iran's state television announced the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had led the country for 37 years.

Donald Trump stated that Iran "got hit hard," calling the event "a great day for peace," and expressed the opinion that the negotiation process could now proceed more easily.

🔮 Users of Kalshi suddenly found themselves in the red after the platform, for ethical reasons, canceled the market related to the "resignation" of Iran's supreme leader **Ali Khamenei**.

Trading was frozen amidst reports of his death, and the CEO promised to roll back trades and compensate fees, stating that the platform does not allow profiting from anyone's death.

Despite assurances, some traders have already complained about losses — the prediction market once again reminded that even "bets on politics" can end with an unexpected stop.

⛔️ The community within a day «buried» the idea of former Mt. Gox CEO rewriting the Bitcoin code to return 79,956 BTC (over $5 billion at current prices) — Mark Karpeles proposed to "move" the coins to creditors, but developers and even some of those affected said a firm "no".

The argument is simple and strict: if you rewrite the rules once for $5 billion — then the principle "your keys = your money" will cease to be law.

🇹🇷 In Turkey are preparing to introduce a 10% tax on cryptocurrency income — the bill has already been submitted to parliament by the ruling party.

Platforms will be required to withhold tax quarterly from client profits, regardless of their status and residency, and the president will have the right to vary the rate from 0% to 20% depending on the asset type and ownership conditions.

A separate fee is provided for the providers themselves — 0.03% on each transaction.

🕊 White hat hacker returned $1.84 million out of $2.26 million stolen during the hack of the decentralized lottery Foom Cash — he found a critical error in the protocol and managed to freeze part of the funds on the Base network, for which he received a reward of $320,000.

The vulnerability arose due to a missed "shuffling" stage for applications, which allowed the specialist to falsify data and declare himself the winner.

🇷🇺 The Russian Ministry of Finance suggested that stablecoins may receive separate regulation and be classified as "digital currency", not cryptocurrency.

Officials recognize their special nature and potential, therefore they do not rule out a separate bill after the launch of basic crypto regulation, scheduled for July 1, 2026.

In the current version of the document, the concept of stablecoins is completely absent.
