🥈 BlackRock Becomes One of the Biggest Bitcoin Whales

BlackRock has officially taken the #2 spot among the largest BTC holders, surpassing giants like Binance and MicroStrategy. 🧐

While Satoshi’s legendary wallet is still untouchable at the top, BlackRock’s rapid climb is nothing short of impressive. 👏

Wall Street didn’t just arrive — it brought a suitcase full of Bitcoin. 🧳💰

🍕 The legendary Bitcoin pizza by Laszlo Hanyecz gets a hilarious breakdown from well-known troll Karl Menger:

✔️ Total cost of the pizza: $1.1B
✔️ One slice: $137.5M
✔️ Extra toppings: $69M
✔️ Crust thrown in the trash: $21M

A satirical reminder of how 10,000 BTC spent on two pizzas in 2010 became one of the most expensive meals in history.

🚨 Cetus Protocol Hacked — $260M Stolen!

Cetus, the main LP provider on the Sui blockchain, suffered a massive exploit — attackers drained $260M, causing most SUI-based tokens to crash by ~80%.

⚠️ Trading is currently frozen across many pairs
💰 The hacker is already converting funds to Ethereum

A major blow to the Sui DeFi ecosystem — stay cautious.

🥷 A mysterious hacker who looted over $300 million from Coinbase users is not just cashing out via DAI — he's also going full troll mode on the blockchain.

📬 In one transaction, he sent a message to well-known crypto detective ZachXBT:

"L bozo" — basically calling him a loser. 😁

Oh, and he attached a meme video of NBA legend James Worthy puffing a cigar. 🚬

📉 Bitcoin Drops to $109K After Trump’s New Trade Threats

BTC rapidly dipped from $111,000 to $109,000 — and yep, Trump’s at it again 🤷

🇺🇸 US president vowed to introduce 50% tariffs on EU goods starting this summer. 🙀

📱 On top of that, he threatened a 25% tariff on Apple products if iPhones aren’t made in the U.S.

Markets reacted instantly.📉

📈 Altseason is (almost) here?

A popular theory circulating on Crypto Twitter suggests the altcoin season is imminent. 🚀

🕒 Historically, altseasons tend to kick off ~380 days after a Bitcoin halving — and guess what? We're in that window now. 🤔

Will history repeat itself? Stay tuned 👀

⚖️ Supreme Court Saves Powell from Trump

Bloomberg reports: 🇺🇸 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump can fire heads of independent agencies without cause — but not the Fed Chair.

💼 Jerome Powell is safe for now, as the Fed remains "a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity,” and off-limits for presidential firing.

This decision protects the Federal Reserve’s independence, especially amid Trump’s pressure to cut interest rates. 🧐

🇺🇸💬 “If you're selling BTC because Europe got hit with tariffs, you don't understand Bitcoin and you're NGMI.”

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and former crypto advisor to Donald Trump, calls out panic sellers.

💬 His message: Bitcoin was built to thrive amid geopolitical and economic turbulence, not collapse because of it.

🚀 True Bitcoiners see beyond short-term news — they HODL through chaos.

♾️ Market Psychology in One Simple Rule

Want to know where we are in the market cycle? Just listen to your friends:

🧸 In a bear market, you're a fool for staying in crypto.
🐂 In a bull market, you're a genius or just lucky.

The truth? The cycle hasn't changed — only people's emotions have. Stay focused.

Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, revealed that scammers tried to trick him via traditional mail. 📩

🥷 They posed as Ledger and sent a fake hardware wallet, claiming it was for a "security check" on his crypto wallet.

📦 Inside was a malicious device designed to steal private keys and gain access to funds.

⚠️ Reminder: Never trust unsolicited hardware wallets — especially those claiming to be replacements or upgrades. Always verify directly with the company.

🇺🇸 Donald Trump announced a delay in the 50% tariffs on all EU imports until July

The move is seen as a temporary de-escalation in trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe.

🚀Following the news, Bitcoin surged back to $110,000. However, technical indicators show strong resistance on the hourly chart, suggesting the rally may face obstacles. 👀

🕵️‍♂️ Analysts believe that by 2045, companies holding Bitcoin reserves will control 50% of the total BTC supply.

Strategy (former MicroStrategy) is expected to maintain its lead, holding half of all corporate Bitcoin — potentially making Michael Saylor's firm the most valuable in history.💰

Experts also note that half of the world’s capital is seeking a better store of value. This has driven a significant shift over the past two years from fiat currencies to hard assets like gold and Bitcoin. 🧐

🇺🇸 Major U.S. financial groups, including the American Bankers Association and SIFMA, are urging the SEC to scrap the rule requiring public companies to disclose cyber incidents within 4 days — (petition).

They argue the rule harms investigations, breaches confidentiality, confuses investors, and even helps hackers pressure companies. 🧐

Case in point: Coinbase refused to pay a $20M ransom after a client data breach — disclosure rules, they say, made the situation worse. 🤷

🚨 A crypto investor lost $2.6M in stablecoins after falling for two phishing scams — just three hours apart!

🥷The attacker used a sneaky trick called a zero-value transfer: a fake transaction of $0 that appears in your wallet history, making the scammer’s address look familiar.

Later, the victim mistakenly sent real funds to this "trusted" address — twice. 🙀

This advanced address poisoning tactic is on the rise. Over 270M attempts were tracked across Ethereum and BNB Chain, with over $83M in stolen funds. 💵

👉 Always double-check full wallet addresses — partial matches can be deadly.

📊 Strategy (ex-MicroStrategy) just bought 4,020 BTC for $421.1M between May 19–25, averaging $106,237 per coin.

As of May 25, the company holds 580,250 BTC — that’s ~2.7% of all Bitcoin in existence. Total spending since 2020: $40.61B at an average price of $69,979 per BTC.

🔥 To fuel future buys, Strategy also launched a new preferred stock offering of up to $2.1B.

The Bitcoin accumulation continues. 💪

🔎 Analysts at Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) highlight a key difference in this Bitcoin cycle compared to previous ones.

Traditionally, long-term holders accumulate during bear markets and distribute during bull runs, forming smooth cup-shaped patterns. 📊☕️

This time, however, the distribution started earlier, progressed slower, with interruptions — lacking the usual rhythm.

This irregular behavior signals growing uncertainty, even among seasoned Bitcoin veterans, about where exactly we are in the market cycle. 🧐
