Telegram Wallet Tightens User Data Collection

📨 The official Telegram cryptocurrency wallet, Wallet, has announced a change in custodial service provider and a new data collection policy. Colin Wu brought attention to this update.

Starting May 30, 2024, Wallet services will be provided by WOT Global Solution Ltd.

📝 The information collected includes "name, address, phone number, transaction data, and any other details they may have about you."

👀 By continuing to use the wallet from the time the document was published, users automatically agree to all the listed terms.

🤷 The document states that users can opt out of the changes by ceasing to use Wallet, withdrawing their balance, and deleting their account.

Wu also mentions that starting June 3, all functions except withdrawals will require updated account information, although this is not stated in the document. 🧐

ZkSync wants to patent the term "zero-knowledge." The ticker ZK is already theirs.

🧑‍💻 Matter Labs (the developer of the ZkSync blockchain) has filed trademark applications in nine countries, claiming that the term "zero-knowledge" is the company's intellectual property.

Naturally, the crypto community reacted extremely negatively to this. 😡

Polygon co-founders Sandeep Nailwal and Brendan Farmer, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson, Polyhedra Network co-founder Tiancheng Xie, and Turing Award winner and co-author of ZK-proofs Shafi Goldwasser wrote an open letter urging Matter Labs to stop acting in this way. 🫷

🤷 Polyhedra has already backed down from its claims on the ticker ZK and will change it to ZKJ due to pressure from ZkSync.

All $NOT tokens that are not withdrawn from the bot to the wallet by June 16 will be burned. 🔥

📆 The deadline is June 16. If your coins are in staking — all is good.

🚀 Against this backdrop, yesterday Notcoin reached another all-time high, demonstrating a staggering growth of 153% over the past week. But it seems the growth of $NOT is already slowing down. It's time to lock in profits. 🤔

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has required issuers of spot Ethereum ETFs to submit S-1 forms by Friday.

Previously, BlackRock and VanEck have already submitted their forms.

👀 The submission of the forms will allow the SEC to begin the first round of comments and amendments. It is expected that at least two rounds of document submissions will be required for the approval of the forms.

Approval of the S-1 forms will give the green light for the commencement of Ethereum ETF trading on the exchange.🧐

CryptoQuant analysts highlight similarities between the current BTC situation and that of 2020.

📈 At that time, there was a notable surge in the number of large wallets accumulating coins, along with significant whale activity on the network.

👀 In 2020, Bitcoin traded around the $10,000 mark for several months before experiencing a major price surge. 🚀

Several executives at Bybit have "voluntarily resigned" following the Notcoin delayed deposit incident! 🙀

👀 Bybit is now publicly recruiting new technical and spot managers. 😁 This information comes from an internal letter sent to all employees.

Due to communication and technical issues, Bybit users received their Notcoin tokens late, preventing immediate sale. As a result, the exchange was forced to pay $23 million in compensation to 320,000 users. 💰

US Arrests Creator of $130M Botnet

🇺🇸 The US Department of Justice has taken down the infamous botnet 911 S5, responsible for numerous cyberattacks and frauds. Its creator, 35-year-old Yunhe Wang, who holds citizenship in China and Saint Kitts and Nevis, has been arrested.

🧑‍💻 From 2014 to 2022, Wang compromised a million home computers across 200 countries by offering free VPN services with backdoors. He then created a botnet with over 19 million IP addresses, selling access to other cybercriminals for cryptocurrencies.

🤖🕸The botnet facilitated a range of crimes, including financial fraud, identity theft, and child exploitation. Chainalysis analysts revealed that Wang’s associated wallets contained over $130 million in digital assets.

🚓 Authorities have seized 23 domains on 70 servers and $30 million in funds. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed financial sanctions on Wang, his accomplices, and his controlled organizations.

▪️ Arbitrum – $111 million
▪️ Aptos – $105 million
▪️ Starknet – $80 million

📉This doesn't mean that all altcoins on this list will crash, but some holders will definitely sell, and the bulls will need to withstand this pressure 🤔.
