👻 Tether reported on freezing over $450,000,000 in crypto assets, linked to criminal schemes — their T3 FCU unit works with law enforcement in 23 countries and mainly tracks illicit flows around USDT and the TRON network.

@DeCenterOrg

⚡️ It seems Tether experienced a glitch — at the moment, hundreds of previously frozen wallets worth millions of dollars began to be unfrozen.

📊 Only about 5.6% of all BTC is currently stored on crypto exchanges — this is the lowest since 2018.

For Ethereum, the indicator also remains historically low — 4.6%, although over the past 10 days, the volume of ETH on exchanges has significantly increased, which may hint at traders preparing for more active trading.

🇬🇧 British politician unexpectedly bought a $1.8 million house after a "$6.7 million personal gift" from a crypto billionaire — Nigel Farage himself says it's legal, but Parliament has already launched an investigation.

In Britain, there are growing calls to limit crypto donations to politicians, because such "gifts" too closely resemble hidden influence.

🐹 Saylor's Strategy will repurchase bonds for $1.5 billion and for the first time directly admits a market-unfavorable scenario — funds could be obtained through selling Bitcoins.

The company holds 818,869 BTC on its balance sheet, almost 4% of the entire supply, so even a hint of a possible sale already sounds like a signal — the "eternal hodler" might also start offloading if it's more profitable for shareholders.

🚬 CME and NYSE are asking to open a case against Hyperliquid regarding market manipulation and to start regulating the platform.

Earlier, screenshots circulated online showing professional traders on Nasdaq monitoring the pricing of Cerebras IPO on the Hyperliquid chart.

Scared?

@DeCenterOrg

🏦 Russia and Belarus discussed crypto-regulation at the Central Bank level, but without major decisions, the main topic is — how to account for cryptocurrencies on the balance sheets of banks and crypto banks.

For now, this is more of a signal that crypto is gradually being drawn into the banking system, rather than a real launch of a new market.

@DeCenterOrg

In Russia, amendments to the cryptocurrency bill are being prepared — regulation may be made softer and closer to the real market:

🔴 P2P may be legalized. Individuals want to be allowed to exchange crypto for cash up to 600,000 rubles per transaction.
🔴Withdrawals to personal wallets. It is proposed to allow withdrawals not only to exchanges but also to non-custodial wallets.
🔴Higher limit for non-qualified investors. Instead of the discussed 300,000 rubles per year, a minimum of 600,000 rubles per month is proposed.
🔴USDT and USDC separately. Stablecoins are intended to be allocated to a separate category, rather than mixed with BTC and ETH.
🔴More coins. The list of available assets may be expanded to include network coins like TRX, SOL, ETH, which are needed for stablecoin transfers.

As a result, it will still not be possible to pay with crypto within the Russian Federation, but P2P, personal wallets, and stablecoins may be brought out of the gray area.
