⚠️ Binance User Data Probably Stolen!
👀 There are suspicions that data from approximately 12.8 million Binance users has been stolen and disclosed on a dark web forum.
The stolen data includes emails, phone numbers, residential addresses, names, and dates of birth. 🙀
The hacker is selling this information and asking interested buyers to contact him on Telegram. 😬
But clearly, he forgot that Telegram is already under the watchful eye of French intelligence agencies, as Durov himself reported yesterday that "IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests." 😁
Representatives of Binance have denied the existence of a leak.

Developers Discover Method to De-anonymize Ethereum Validators 🙀
🕵️♂️ Researchers have found a way to de-anonymize Ethereum validators by analyzing P2P messages and deploying an observing node.
🧑💻 By running a client on four nodes, they managed to uncover the IP addresses of 15% of validators.
It's suggested that increasing the number of nodes could lead to an even higher percentage of de-anonymized validators. 🧐

A Bitcoin address holding 1215 BTC ($77 million), mined in the first two months of the network's launch in 2009, recently transferred 5 BTC to the Kraken exchange. 💰
Some analysts suggest that this address is linked to Hal Finney's family. 🧐
Hal Finney was a key figure in Bitcoin's history, being the recipient of the very first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto. 🥷
There are also theories that he might be the enigmatic creator of the cryptocurrency. 🙀

The L2 blockchain Celo has surpassed Tron in the number of active daily addresses for stablecoin usage, earning praise from Vitalik Buterin himself:
Celo's price responded with an immediate surge. 📈
It looks like a new pumper has emerged in the market. Elon Musk, move over! 😁
This is amazing to see. Improving worldwide access to basic payments/finance has always been a key way that ethereum can be good for the world, and it's great to see Celo getting traction.

Robbie Mitchnik, head of digital assets at BlackRock, believes that Bitcoin is shifting towards being a risk-off asset.
“When we think about Bitcoin, we think about primarily as an emerging global monetary alternative. Scarce, global, decentralized, non-sovereign asset. And it’s an asset that has no country-specific risk, that has no counterparty risk.”

📈 US Bitcoin ETFs Experience Strong Inflows Led by BlackRock
US Bitcoin ETFs have seen a five-day streak of positive inflows, totaling $246 million. Notably, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) stands out, pulling in $184 million on Wednesday alone. 🚀
Despite a tumultuous market, investor confidence in Bitcoin ETFs appears to be growing. While BlackRock dominates the scene, other funds like Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (BITB) managed to attract only $2 million, with significant outflows from Fidelity’s Bitcoin Fund ($33 million) and ARK Invest’s ETF ($47 million). 💰
👀 The shift in investor preferences suggests a move towards larger, more established funds, as seen with IBIT's substantial gains compared to the struggles of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which has lost over $20 billion since converting to an ETF.
