🇷🇺 Russian authorities plan to restrict access for unqualified investors to some cryptocurrencies that the authorities deem risky — even USDT and BNB could fall under these restrictions, buying them will not be prohibited, but additional fees, risk warnings, and other protective measures may be introduced.

The main argument of officials is — issuers of such coins are capable of freezing user assets. A complete ban was discussed, but the market opposed it, so the authorities decided to leave access to these assets, strengthening control and investor protection.

📊 Arthur Hayes believes that Bitcoin is currently under pressure not from weak demand, but from the AI ​​boom — large amounts of money are flowing into AI companies, infrastructure, and future IPOs, making crypto's liquidity much weaker.

Against this backdrop, his Maelstrom fund dumped HYPE, NEAR, WLD, and ZEC, leaving only BTC and ETH.

Saylor voiced a similar idea.

If the initiative is adopted, users will not have to calculate the tax themselves — exchanges will do it for them and transfer the money to the budget.
