🇧🇹 Bhutan may have quietly offloaded almost $1 billion in Bitcoins — according to data from Arkham, since mid-2025 its sovereign fund reduced reserves from 13,000 BTC to 3,100 BTC.

But the country denies everything — there were no BTC sales, we do not comment on wallet movements, we do not confirm assets — although Arkham has confidently linked these addresses specifically to Bhutan for years.

Who do we believe?

🇸🇻 Unlike Bhutan — El Salvador stubbornly continues to buy 1 BTC every day.

The country's balance already holds 7,652 BTC worth $604 million — since 2021, when Bitcoin became official legal tender, the strategy hasn't changed — just buy and hold.

🏫 Harvard's Investment Fund continues to exit crypto — reduced its stake in BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF by another 43% and completely exited the Ethereum ETF.

But while Harvard is reducing risk, Abu Dhabi fund Mubadala, on the contrary, is buying up IBIT to nearly $566 million — big money clearly views the market differently.

🇵🇱 Poland has long been an easy entry point into the EU crypto business, get VASP registration — and you can operate. But from July 1, 2026, this is no longer enough, now a full MiCA/CASP license is required, and in Poland itself, the process has not yet been properly launched.

The market has already started to be scrutinized, banks and payment systems can cut off weak companies, and "paper" VASPs risk not surviving the transition.

In essence, MiCA changes the rules of the game; now, instead of cheap registrations in Europe, a market for expensive licenses begins, where only prepared players will survive.

🗽 The Trump administration turned out to be the most crypto-involved in US history — more than 20% of high-ranking officials and candidates declared crypto or investments in blockchain companies.

A total of at least $193 million in crypto assets has been disclosed, with at least $51 million belonging to Trump himself. For comparison, there were no such declarations in Biden's cabinet at all.

🇮🇷 Iran launched the Hormuz Safe platform, where ships can pay in Bitcoin for "insurance" to pass through the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world's key oil routes.

After a BTC payment, the digital policy is activated immediately, and authorities expect to turn the service into a multi-billion dollar source of income.

🚬 Years of anonymity on the darknet ended with one brilliant idea — buy gold bars with crypto and order home delivery.

That's how authorities tracked down the alleged admin of Dream Market, seizing gold worth $1.7 million, cash, and related accounts. Now he faces up to 20 years in prison for each count of money laundering.

🖥 In the Novosibirsk region, law enforcement conducted "Mining" operation and found three illegal crypto farms — the largest one operated on 32 devices and, according to the police, was connected to the grid in violation of rules.

It's especially interesting that in one story a local official surfaced, and in another — a top manager of an enterprise, who installed the miners right on the territory of the production workshop.

🇷🇺 Rosfinmonitoring wants to crack down on crypto exchanges almost like banks — with strict control, rules, and responsibility.

The logic is simple — while banks are regulated, and the exchange of crypto for rubles lives in a grey area, this remains a convenient loophole for money laundering.

🇧🇾 It is reported, that addresses of the Belarusian exchange WhiteBird have started to appear in AML services as sanctioned.

On May 24, the 20th package of EU sanctions comes into force — absolutely all Belarusian crypto services may receive similar "marks".

🇮🇷 Iran proposes a phased ceasefire and gradual opening of the Strait of HormuzMedia.

In return, Tehran is ready not to stop its nuclear program completely, but to freeze it for a long time and transfer enriched uranium to Russia.

🤖 Vitalik Buterin believes that powerful AI models will soon start mass-finding vulnerabilities in code — and this could sharply hit crypto, ZK, STARKs, and post-quantum infrastructure.

He sees the solution NOT in AI simply writing more code, but in programs with mathematically proven security — where important software is not just tested, but literally proven to work correctly.

@DeCenterOrg
🤖 BNB Chain launched BNBAgent SDK — a set of tools so that AI agents can work with wallets, payments, memory, and reputation on the blockchain.

Simply put, this is a foundation for bots that will not only be able to respond in chat, but also pay for services themselves, execute transactions, and save task history.

🇷🇺 Rostelecom and Sber are launching the Web3Gate pilot — a platform for working with digital currencies and tokenized assets.

The project will be tested on Sber's infrastructure under real load to check how digital assets can work in mass services.

🗽 The SEC could approve tokenized stocks as early as this week — regular shares will be able to trade directly on the blockchain.

It was also announced that starting August 1, banks and credit unions in Minnesota will begin providing cryptocurrency custody services.

🔫 In Moscow, a man arrived at a meeting to buy cryptocurrency for cash, but instead of the seller, he was met by three robbers — threatening him with a pistol, they took a bag with 2,000,000 rubles and fled.

The police have already detained two suspects, and part of the money has been recovered.

👻 The Fear and Greed Index has again dropped into the extreme fear zone (25).

🪙 People continue to leave the Ethereum Foundation — following Tim Beiko and others, two more developers, Carl Beekhuizen and Julian Ma, have left the foundation.

Both were not random employees — one worked on the Beacon Chain and Ethereum throughput, the second was involved in network economics, scaling, and privacy.

Against the backdrop of a series of departures, this no longer looks like a normal rotation, but rather a serious restructuring within the EF.
