📉 If you still believe in the classic 4-year cycle…

According to the old-school 4-year cycle theory (which many analysts now consider outdated and irrelevant), the bull market might already be over. This model suggests that after each halving the market follows a predictable pattern — and right now we’d supposedly be entering a prolonged correction phase.

However, many analysts argue that today’s market is driven by macro factors, institutional flows, and geopolitics, making the 4-year cycle far less reliable.

📲 Illegal activity on Binance dropped to a record-low 0,007%

In June 2025, only 0.007% of transactions on Binance were linked to illicit wallets — 2.5 times lower than the average across centralized exchanges (0.018%).

The company notes that the decline in unlawful activity strengthens user trust and supports broader adoption of cryptocurrencies.

📞 Crypto Dispensers considers possible sale

Crypto Dispensers, a Chicago-based crypto ATM operator, is exploring a potential $100 million sale after the U.S. Department of Justice accused the company of involvement in a $10 million money-laundering scheme.

The company and its CEO, Firas Isa, have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Crypto Dispensers said it has hired advisors to review and assess the potential deal.

🛡 Zama Protocol: A Cross-Chain Confidentiality Layer

The Zama Protocol is not a new Layer-1 (L1) or Layer-2 (L2), but rather a cross-chain confidentiality layer that sits on top of existing chains. As such, users do not need to bridge to a new chain and can interact with confidential dapps from wherever they choose.

The Protocol utilizes Zama’s state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology, which enables computing directly on encrypted data. FHE has long been considered the "holy grail" of cryptography, as it allows for end-to-end encryption for any application, whether onchain or offchain.

Zama believes that just as the internet transitioned from zero encryption with HTTP to encrypting data in transit with HTTPS, the next natural step will be to use FHE to enable end-to-end encryption by default in every application—a concept they term HTTPZ.

Until recently, however, FHE was too slow, too limited in terms of the applications it could support, and too difficult for developers to use. This is the problem Zama's team has spent the last five years solving. They now possess a highly efficient FHE technology that can support any type of application, using common programming languages such as Solidity and Python, while being over 100 times faster than five years ago. Importantly, Zama’s FHE technology is already post-quantum, meaning there are no known quantum algorithms that can break it.

📈 Integration with MPC and ZK
While FHE is the core technology used in the Zama Protocol, they also leverage Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) to address the shortcomings of other confidentiality solutions:

1. FHE: Enables confidentiality while remaining fully publicly verifiable (anyone can recompute the FHE operations and verify them). The use of GPUs will soon allow scaling to 100+ transactions per second, while dedicated hardware accelerators (FPGAs and ASICs) will enable scaling to thousands of transactions per second.

2. MPC: Enables the decentralization of the global network key, ensuring no single party can access it. Using MPC solely for key generation and data decryption for users minimizes latency and communication, thereby making it far more scalable and decentralized than using it for private computation.

3. ZK: Ensures that the encrypted inputs provided by users were actually encrypted correctly. Using ZK only for this specific purpose makes the ZK proofs lightweight and cheap to generate within a browser or mobile app.

🚀 $OPEN Buyback – The Next 5 Million Cycle Begins

ℹ️ AI is taking over every corner of the digital world right now. Whether it’s data, applications, or automation, everything is shifting toward intelligent systems. In the middle of that shift, OpenLedger is quietly building itself into the foundation layer of the entire movement. The same way Ethereum became the home for smart contracts, OpenLedger is becoming the home for AI on-chain.

⚡️ The market is already showing signs of growing confidence. While everything else feels uncertain and slow, $OPEN is moving with purpose, trading around 12% in profit today and clearly standing out from the rest of the market.

✔️ And then comes the real spark: OpenLedger is preparing another 5 million $OPEN token buyback. Moves like this almost always attract attention, and with the AI narrative heating up, it becomes a powerful combination. Strong fundamentals plus strong token actions are exactly why more traders and communities are starting to take OpenLedger seriously.

If momentum keeps building like this, the spotlight on $OPEN is only going to get brighter.

📲 Binance and CZ face a new $1 billion lawsuit

A lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. against Binance and Changpeng Zhao by 306 victims of the October 7 attack and their families. They accuse the exchange of allowing more than $1 billion to move through accounts linked to Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups.

The case includes accounts allegedly tied to militants, Gaza-based money exchanges, and laundering routes through Venezuela and Brazil.

The lawsuit comes shortly after Donald Trump pardoned CZ, clearing the way for Binance to re-enter the U.S. market.

📞 Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum’s complexity hinders mass adoption

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that the network’s architecture is too complex for ordinary users, forcing participants to rely on a narrow circle of developers.

According to him, the goal of Ethereum’s roadmap is to simplify interaction with the blockchain to the level of familiar web applications.

📌 Korean public company Netmarble’s MarbleX has invested in $OPEN, signaling growing institutional trust in on chain AI infrastructure 🤖💼 .

With major partnerships like Cambridge and Chainbase, a public technical roadmap, and $OPEN up ~15% in the last 24 hours 📈, OpenLedger is hitting an inflection point .

Market momentum is building 🌊, and many are now watching to see if $OPEN can push toward the 0.30 range 💰👀.

📞 Analysts see a “bullish signal” in miner capitulation

A decline in mining activity could signal a bullish reversal for bitcoin, according to VanEck.

Analysts note that historically, bitcoin has more often delivered positive returns during such periods.

Bitcoin’s hashrate has fallen by 4% over the past month, marking the sharpest decline since April 2024.

👛 We may see a crypto wallet from a tech giant in 2026

One of the Big Tech companies will integrate a crypto wallet in 2026, according to a prediction by Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at crypto venture fund Dragonfly.

He is also confident that more Fortune 100 companies will begin launching their own blockchains.

Some major financial players have already built private blockchains, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and IBM.

🪙 Bitcoin turns 17: from an experiment to a global asset

On January 3, 2009, the Bitcoin genesis block was created, for which Satoshi Nakamoto received the first 50 BTC.

Soon after, he stepped away from the project, leaving the network’s development to a decentralized community — the very force that transformed Bitcoin from an idea into a global financial phenomenon.
