👮‍♂️ On TRON, a scam token "from the FBI" is currently being actively distributed — people are being told that their wallet is under investigation and are required to pass a "verification", otherwise funds will be frozen. The FBI has already warned that no such verifications exist, and it's best not to click on links from such messages.

In 2024, the FBI created its own token on Ethereum called "The NexFundAI Token" and engaged companies "for illegal manipulations" — as a result, 4 crypto companies and 14 individuals were charged.

👻 In Twitter (X) they are spreading a theory that the small rise in BTC is connected to the war in the Middle East — allegedly Iran had been mining cheap BTC ($1300 per coin) for years and quietly selling it on the market, creating hidden pressure.

After strikes on energy infrastructure, mining stopped, sales disappeared — and Bitcoin became "scarcer."

Sounds impressive, but there is no proof for this version.

🍿 A new wave of blockchains is emerging, not for tokens, but for PAYMENTS — general-purpose networks simply don't meet the requirements of banks and large companies.

Circle is building Arc for institutions, Stripe, together with Paradigm, launched Tempo for businesses, while other projects are addressing niche tasks — from FX settlements to private payments.

As a result, the market is segmenting by use cases, and the battle is no longer for "one blockchain for everything," but for complete control over the entire payment infrastructure.

📊 A fresh perp-DEX ranking shows that Hyperliquid confidently holds the top spot for activity — with huge volume and liquidity.

Following are smaller, but fast-growing players like Extended and Aster — the market is clearly fragmenting, and competition for traders is only intensifying.

🚕 A taxi driver from Los Angeles received $2 000 000 in COVID relief and instead of business, threw it all into crypto — now he is accused of fraud.

The prosecution has already seized about 40 BTC and other assets bought with this money.

💤 Another ancient whale with 2,100 BTC in its account woke up after 14 years of inactivity.

🇮🇷 UK authorities are dissolving the crypto exchange Zedxion Exchange Ltd, accused of aiding Iran in sanctions evasion — blockchain data shows that the platform and a related company moved over $1 billion, of which 56% is linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

🤖 Co-founder a16z Marc Andreessen predicted a boom of "one-person unicorns" in the AI era.

He believes that AI will allow individuals to control the entire creation process, as was the case with Bitcoin and Minecraft.

🐋 JPMorgan has started accepting BTC and ETH as collateral, allowing institutional clients to obtain dollar liquidity without selling crypto assets.

The bank issues loans against crypto, but with a margin — it considers only 50–70% of its value, to reduce volatility risks.

Essentially, BTC and ETH are beginning to be used as full-fledged financial collateral on par with traditional assets like bonds.
