AI tokens learning gravity the hard way
ai16z and VVV walked into Binance’s perpetual futures market like rockstars… and left like clearance-sale items.
ai16z: -84% since listing, now worth $0.38 (was $2.42)
VVV: -67%, now trading at $5.82 (was $18)
Analysts are calling Binance perps a “death trap”—where traders don’t just short tokens, they yeet them into the abyss while offloading spot bags.

Nigeria sues Binance for $81.5B!
The Nigerian government is taking Binance to court, demanding $79.5B for economic damages and $2B in back taxes. Officials blame the exchange for the naira’s troubles and even detained two Binance executives in 2024.
The charges? Tax evasion, failure to file returns, and enabling tax avoidance. Authorities also want a 26.75% interest rate on unpaid taxes.
Binance, which isn't registered in Nigeria, has denied the money laundering accusations and halted naira trading last year.

Hackers Steal $480M in ETH from Bybit, Convert to Bitcoin!
Hackers behind the Bybit exchange attack have moved over 209,000 ETH (~$480M) into Bitcoin, with a large portion ($240M) swapped via ThorChain, a decentralized cross-chain protocol. ⚒️
Since the attack, more than 161,000 ETH (~$370M) have been transferred through 3,934 transactions. FBI and blockchain investigators blame North Korean hacker group Lazarus, known for laundering through DeFi protocols.
The total stolen exceeds 400,000 ETH (~$1.4B at the time), though some funds were frozen. ThorChain saw record trading volumes of $737M, while validators tried to block transfers, but decentralization overruled their decisions.
Bybit has offered a reward of 15% for help freezing or recovering the stolen funds.

Peter Schiff Calls Trump’s Crypto Move the Biggest Rug Pull in History!
Economist Peter Schiff accused Trump of orchestrating the largest crypto scam ever and called for a Congressional investigation.
Schiff demands answers:
📌 Who wrote Trump’s Sunday crypto posts?
📌 Who had insider info & bought XRP, ADA, SOL, BTC, and ETH before the pump?
📌 Who dumped at the peak & how much did they make?
📌 Any emails/messages linking Trump’s staff, family, or donors to the posts?
Even die-hard crypto fans can’t ignore how shady this looks.

Bybit Exchange was accused of blocking accounts for transferring from Trust Wallet
The trader who made the transition has a long history of transfers, that time he transferred funds from another exchange, «white and fluffy with all KYC». After the transfer, this trader tried to withdraw about 10,000 USDT but the account was frozen with the wording «suspicious activity»
Bybit asked for proof of the origin of the transferred funds. When the trader showed it, support answer: «We noticed that the transfer was made using Trust Wallet. Please note that Trust Wallet is not an acceptable method for deposits»

Investors who entered the U.S. stock market over a year ago have now lost all their gains — unless they exited before the tariff war drama started.
One shining exception?
Warren Buffett — the 95-year-old legend is still up $12.7B.
Six months ago, news broke that Buffett started pulling out of the market.
Back then, no one understood why.

Binance wants back in the U.S. — and might bring Trump tokens with it
According to WSJ, Binance is chatting with the U.S. Treasury about loosening anti-money laundering oversight so it can return to the American market.
But wait — there’s more drama: Binance is also flirting with Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial. If the deal goes through, it could pump out $USD1 stablecoins— potentially netting the Trump fam billions.
After the $4.3B fine in 2023, Binance sees a Trump alliance as a golden ticket to regulatory redemption. Apparently, they’re banking on support from the very top.

For the first time ever, stablecoins moved more dollar value in 2024 than Visa. Yep, that actually happened.
This marks a major shift: blockchain-based money is no longer niche — it's competing (and winning) against traditional giants.

A wave of excitement is building in the crypto investment space, as 72 cryptocurrency ETFs are currently awaiting approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart believe that 2025 could shape up to be a landmark year for digital asset ETFs.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum have been at the center of the crypto ETF conversation, the future could bring much more diversity. Upcoming filings hint at the inclusion of other major tokens such as XRP, Litecoin (LTC), and Solana (SOL), offering investors broader exposure to the digital asset market.
In a surprising twist, even the Pudgy Penguins—a popular NFT collection—might be getting their own ETF. It’s a sign that traditional financial markets may be opening up to the culture and creativity of Web3 and digital collectibles.
Dogecoin (DOGE), the beloved meme coin, is also in the running for an ETF. This playful token continues to gain traction, and its presence in a regulated investment product could further validate its role in the market.
One of the most eyebrow-raising proposals is a 2x leveraged ETF based on the Melania Token. While the details remain unclear, this filing highlights just how experimental and dynamic the ETF race is becoming.
With the sheer variety and volume of crypto-related ETFs lining up, regulators are facing a complex and fast-paced challenge. As 2025 unfolds, the ETF landscape could be completely transformed, and both investors and regulators will need to move quickly to keep up.

The next target of bulls in the BTC market is at $103,000
A trader and technical analyst under the pseudonym Titan of Crypto believes that the next target of bulls in the BTC market is at $103,000
Is the BTC exchange rate preparing to rise to $103,000? A bullish flag is observed on the four-hour chart — the expert wrote
Judging by the length of the flagpole, the price of BTC will reach $103.286 if the pattern noticed by the specialist is fully worked out. However, an upward breakthrough will be possible only if the trading volume increases, which decreased over the weekend during the lull in the market

How much does it cost to mine 1 BTC around the world?
Big gap in electricity costs! In Ethiopia, mining 1 BTC would cost just $2,000 — but only if they had enough hashpower. Cuba and Sudan follow closely with costs under $4,000.
Meanwhile, the U.S. — home to the largest share of global mining — sees costs skyrocket to $107,000 per BTC.
That’s why the Bitcoin price likely won’t stay below current levels for long: unprofitable miners will simply shut down their rigs.

UK Says “No Thanks” to National Crypto Reserve
Economic Secretary Emma Reynolds ruled out the idea of the UK stockpiling Bitcoin like the U.S., saying it’s "not appropriate for our market."
While the UK isn’t planning a national digital asset reserve, it's strengthening ties with the U.S. through a new senior-level crypto regulatory working group.
Instead of following the EU’s MiCA framework, the UK is exploring its own outcome-focused crypto rules and may issue sovereign debt via blockchain by late summer.
Collaboration, not imitation — that's the UK's current crypto stance.
