πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US Consumer Price Index (CPI), reflecting inflation, rose to 3.8% β€” the figure was 3.3% last month.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡Ή Bhutanese Gelephu, aka the "City of Mindfulness," has decided to become a true crypto-haven.

For companies they launched expedited licensing, access to banks, and almost dream-like tax conditions β€” 0% corporate income tax, 0% capital gains tax.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί Russia remains one of the main markets for crypto exchanges β€” in April, it accounted for 32% of Bybit's traffic (about 3.67 million visits out of 11.41 million).

On HTX, the share of Russian users is also high β€” almost 25%, although the overall traffic of crypto exchanges decreased by more than 12% over the month.

πŸš“ Former regional director of Binance in Russia and CIS and co-founder of Blum Vladimir Smerkis was sentenced to 5 years in a penal colony in a case of particularly large-scale fraud.

πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ A 50-year-old resident of Kaliningrad gave almost 7,000,000 rubles to scammers, believing in "crypto investments" β€” initially they showed her good profits in a fake personal account and persuaded her to top up the account again and again.

When the woman tried to withdraw the money, access to the account was suddenly blocked β€” the scheme is as old as time, but still works.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡² Bermuda will transfer a part of its government financial services to the Stellar blockchain, to reduce fees and speed up payments.

The authorities are also considering the possibility of accepting and investing in digital assets β€” the country wants to become one of the first "fully on-chain economies".

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ Donald Trump is flying to China along with the heads of some of the largest US companies – the CEOs of Nvidia, Apple, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Mastercard, Visa, Qualcomm, Meta, and Tesla.

The combined market capitalization of the participating companies exceeds $11.5 trillion.

πŸ‡°πŸ‡¬ Kyrgyzstan wants to allow banks into the crypto market β€” The Ministry of Economy proposed allowing them to buy, sell, and exchange cryptocurrency under the supervision of the National Bank.

If the amendments are adopted, crypto exchange could become a regular banking service β€” like currency exchange or money transfers.

The reason is clear β€” the market is growing rapidly, and tax revenues from virtual assets for 11 months of 2025 have already exceeded 2.1 billion soms.

πŸͺ™ Ethereum introduced Clear Signing β€” an open standard that should replace "blind" signatures with a normal description of what exactly the user is confirming.

The wallet will be able to show not a set of symbols, but understandable data β€” what asset is being sent, to whom, for what amount, and under what conditions.

This is an important step for security after a series of phishing attacks and hacks, where users signed transactions, without understanding their real meaning.

πŸ‡»πŸ‡³ Vietnam is preparing to launch a regulated crypto market as early as 2026 β€” the first official operations could begin in the third quarter, and five companies have been allowed to manage trading platforms.

They want to make the market closed and controlled β€” crypto exchanges need capital of about $400 million, only local companies will be able to submit applications, and foreign ownership is limited to 49%.

In parallel, authorities are discussing restrictions for foreign platforms like Binance, OKX, and Bybit.

πŸ¦… In the first 11 days of May, Russians withdrew a record 210 billion rubles in cash from their accounts β€” this is the maximum for the entire period of statistics publication since 2011.

The reason cited is internet and cashless payment disruptions during the May holidays β€” people massively decided that cash is more reliable than cards in such a situation.

Ironically, the record occurred almost immediately after the Ministry of Finance's call not to keep money "under the mattress" but to deposit it in banks.

πŸ‘ While Huang, along with Trump and heads of the largest US companies, is in China, Nvidia updates historical records.

The company's capitalization reached $5.45 trillion β€” this is already approximately twice the size of the entire crypto market with its $2.7 trillion.

One Nvidia is now worth more than BTC, Ethereum, USDT, and all other crypto combined.

πŸͺ™ Claude helped a user regain access to an old Bitcoin wallet with 5 BTC, which had been untouched since 2015 β€” he uploaded data from an old student computer to the AI, and Claude helped find the likely password.

🐳 In Beijing, trade negotiations between Trump & Co and Xi Jinping have started β€” the parties plan to discuss tariffs, chips, and the future of global trade.

In parallel, Musk has already managed to deliver the quote of the day: "The problem with socialism is that after they eat the rich, they themselves will start to starve."

@DeCenterOrg
πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ The main points regarding the Trump and Xi Jinping negotiations this hour:

πŸ”΅ The parties are discussing a mutual reduction of tariffs by approximately $30 billion.
πŸ”΅ Trump stated that US-China relations could become "better than ever before," and called Xi Jinping "a great leader".
πŸ”΅ Xi Jinping urged countries to be "partners, not rivals" and warned that a conflict between the US and China would hit the entire world.

πŸ”΅ The negotiations involve representatives of about 30 largest companies in the world, including Elon Musk, who has already called the meeting "remarkable."

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί Moscow Exchange is discussing with brokers how legal crypto trading in Russia might look β€” for this, they might create a separate section, extended trading hours, and special accounts instead of regular brokerage ones.

According to one scheme, replenishment could go through a transfer from a cold wallet to the client's address in a Russian digital depository. That is, they want to integrate crypto into the familiar exchange infrastructure, but with separate storage and accounting rules.

Also, Moscow Exchange today starts trading futures on SOL, XRP, and TRX.

πŸͺ™ A participant of Ethereum ICO transferred 790 ETH to a new wallet after 11 years of inactivity β€” in 2015, he bought the coins for just $245, now their value is $1,790,000.

🌎 Global money supply updated record β€” $121.9 trillion.

In two years, the world has seen an increase of $17.1 trillion in money, and the printing press is accelerating again, with growth already at 7–8% per year.

@DeCenterOrg
πŸͺ™ Forward Industries, the largest public holder of Solana, has accumulated almost 7,000,000 SOL and is currently sitting on an unrealized loss of about $1 billion β€” the company bought at an average of $232, while SOL is now trading at about $91.

Previously, Forward had no relation to crypto at all, but in 2025 decided to repeat Michael Saylor's strategy β€” the company's shares first soared 8 times, and then almost completely lost their gains.

πŸ€– Grok was beautifully scammed again, but this time not through a bug in the code, but through a "gift" NFT, inside of which was a hidden command β€” the AI bot obediently executed it and sent about $174,000 from the wallet.
