🙀 North Korean Hackers Rob Their Own Central Bank!
🇰🇵 North Korea has reportedly uncovered a shocking insider cybercrime case: a group of former military-trained hackers allegedly breached the country's own Central Bank and Foreign Trade Bank, siphoning state funds through cryptocurrency.
According to reports, the stolen money was split into small transfers, moved to overseas crypto wallets, and cashed out via intermediaries in China. Authorities identified the scheme after detecting suspicious crypto transactions and foreign IP access to banking systems. During coordinated raids, suspects were arrested at their computers, and expensive equipment was seized.
The case has sparked rare concern among North Korea's elite, as highly trained state cyber specialists are accused of turning their skills against the regime itself. 🇰🇵💻💸

Michael Saylor has sparked fresh speculation after hinting that Strategy’s famous Bitcoin tracker may not get any new orange dots this time 🧐
Since the orange dots traditionally represent BTC purchases, many investors are wondering whether the company could sell more Bitcoin after its recent portfolio changes.
Despite the uncertainty, the market remains resilient. Bitcoin has climbed nearly 2% over the past 24 hours and is trading around $65.4K, suggesting traders aren't overly concerned about Strategy’s next move. For now, all eyes are on Saylor’s next announcement. 🚀📈

🚨 Another crypto exchange is shutting down!
BitMart has announced it will cease operations, with new registrations and deposits disabled from July 26, while the platform is scheduled to fully shut down on January 31, 2027.
👀 Many customers report being unable to withdraw their crypto, citing frozen withdrawals and repeated KYC/AML verification requests that still fail to unlock their funds.

📉 Spot crypto trading volume on centralized exchanges (CEXs) has plunged 74% since August 2025
The sharp decline highlights a significant slowdown in market activity, with fewer traders and lower overall liquidity across major exchanges.
🤷 It's no surprise that another once-prominent Bitmart crypto exchange has recently announced its closure. Since exchanges primarily earn revenue from trading fees, a dramatic drop in trading volume directly impacts their profitability. Without sufficient market activity, sustaining operations becomes increasingly difficult, especially for smaller or struggling platforms.

🐋 A mysterious whale is making big moves in Ethereum
An unknown investor has spent around $50 million in DAI to accumulate 25,425 ETH within just a few hours, catching the attention of crypto traders. 💰
Large whale purchases often spark speculation about insider knowledge or growing confidence in Ethereum's near-term outlook. Of course, no one knows the real motive yet—but when wallets this big start buying aggressively, the market usually takes notice.
Smart money... or just a very confident bet? 👀

📊 Bitcoin's annual realized volatility has fallen to near historic lows, making the market far calmer than in previous cycles
The sharp swings that once defined Bitcoin have become much less frequent, reflecting a more mature market with growing institutional participation and stronger liquidity.
While lower volatility may seem less exciting for short-term traders, it is often viewed as a positive sign for long-term adoption, making Bitcoin a more attractive asset for both investors and large financial institutions. 🏦

Michael Saylor says Strategy may continue selling Bitcoin to support STRC! 🙀
According to Saylor, the company is prepared to sell portions of its BTC reserves and MSTR shares to buy back its preferred stock and keep STRC trading near $100.
The announcement immediately rattled the market, with Bitcoin falling about 3% overnight to around $63,000 as investors reacted to the prospect of additional selling pressure. 📉

💵 According to Forbes, stablecoin market capitalization fell by $10 billion in June, marking the biggest contraction since the Terra UST/LUNA collapse in 2022 🧐
🤷 The main driver was the GENIUS Act, which prohibits issuers from paying yield on payment stablecoins. As a result, capital has been flowing into tokenized U.S. Treasury funds, whose assets have grown from $11B in March to nearly $16B.
Despite the decline in market cap, stablecoin usage remains strong: adjusted transaction volume hit a record $1.79 trillion in June, up 63% month over month, suggesting demand for on-chain payments and settlements is still accelerating.

📉 Short-term Bitcoin holders are showing signs of panic
According to CryptoQuant, 15,100 BTC (around $1 billion) were transferred to exchanges by short-term holders over the past 24 hours while sitting at an unrealized loss. 🧐
The metric tracks BTC moved to exchanges—not actual sales—but such transfers often indicate that investors are preparing to sell. This suggests that some of the coins have likely already been sold, while others may still be waiting to hit the market.
Historically, large waves of panic selling from short-term holders often coincide with periods of heightened market fear and volatility. 🎢

🇲🇲☠️ Myanmar has introduced some of the world's toughest penalties for crypto-related scams
⚖️ The country's parliament passed a new anti-fraud law imposing life imprisonment for operating scam centers and carrying out cryptocurrency fraud. Those convicted of kidnapping, unlawful detention, torture, or other violent acts to force people into working at scam compounds can face the death penalty.
Myanmar has become a major hub for organized online fraud in recent years, with criminal networks allegedly trafficking victims into scam compounds targeting people worldwide, including through fake crypto investment schemes.
The new law reflects growing international efforts to crack down on the global cybercrime industry, which has caused billions of dollars in losses.

📉 Bitcoin is approaching a potential Death Cross 💀
The Death Cross, where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average, is traditionally viewed as a bearish signal. In previous Bitcoin cycles, it has often been followed by declines of around 30%.
However, there's an interesting pattern: in past cycles, the Death Cross has frequently marked the final major drop before a new bullish trend began.
If history repeats itself, some analysts believe $50K could become the ultimate bottom of this correction. As always, past performance doesn't guarantee future results—but it's a pattern worth watching. 📈
