πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί A bill has been submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, which introduces fines of up to 1 million rubles for selling cryptocurrency to ordinary people without mandatory testing.

πŸ€– Coinbase, Stripe, and Cloudflare have practically begun a fight for "Visa for AI": they are creating a fund at the Linux Foundation to promote x402 β€” a standard by which AI agents and programs will be able to pay for APIs, data, and computations in crypto without human involvement.

Approximately 20 large companies have already joined the project, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services, so ecosystem support may decide which standard will become the foundation of the future "machine economy."

πŸͺ™ Bitcoin has stopped simply reacting to Fed decisions and is increasingly starting to price in future policy changes in advance.

After the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, the market is increasingly driven by institutional investors who think 6–12 months ahead, which is why Bitcoin is becoming more an indicator of the future cycle than a reaction to already published news.

According to Binance research, it was after the arrival of ETFs and large funds that the correlation changed: previously Bitcoin followed central bank policy easing, but now it often moves even before the Fed announces anything.

🍿 ZachXBT harshly criticized Circle, stating that the company has been failing its own "compliance" for years β€” only since 2022, there have been at least 15 cases with losses exceeding $420 million, where Circle could have frozen stolen USDC, but reacted too late or did nothing at all.

The main example is the recent hack of Drift Protocol: the hacker calmly withdrew $230 million in USDC via Circle's bridge over six hours, while the company took no action.

ZachXBT also recalled similar delays after the Nomad Bridge and Mango Markets hacks, noting that even Tether usually reacts faster in such situations.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation wants to exempt the services of official crypto exchangers and digital depositories from VAT, if they operate through the Central Bank's register.

In essence, the authorities are preparing a separate "legal" crypto infrastructure: only large Russian companies with a turnover of 3.5 million rubles or more and a license will be able to exchange crypto.

πŸͺ’ Of the 41 tokens that entered exchanges in 2025, only 6 are currently trading above their listing price.

πŸ‡°πŸ‡­ Cambodia has decided to drastically tighten its fight against crypto scammers: parliament has approved a law under which organizers and participants of scam centers face 2 to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $125,000, and for working as part of a group β€” twice as much.

This refers to the notorious "scam compounds," where people are often held by force and made to engage in crypto and investment scams.
