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

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.

The new entity will focus on accumulating BTC and launching BTC-backed investment products.
Already raised $710M from 200+ investors, including heavyweights like VanEck, Arrington Capital, Adam Back, Balaji Srinivasan, and Ricardo Salinas.
KDLY is still trading on Nasdaq, but expect a shiny new ticker soon.

Glassnode: “Bitcoin Still Leading the Market Cycle”
According to recent data from Glassnode, the current crypto market remains firmly in a Bitcoin-led cycle. While there have been notable shifts in market share, Bitcoin continues to dominate investor attention and capital flows.
Since Bitcoin dominance peaked at 64.4% on May 8, there has been a slight redistribution across other crypto assets. Ethereum’s market share has increased to 9.75%, marking a 3% gain. Altcoins have also seen modest growth, rising to 22.35%, an increase of 2%.
In contrast, stablecoins have experienced a decline, with their share dropping to 6.3%. This suggests a rotation of capital out of stable assets and into more volatile cryptocurrencies.
Despite the recent gains for Ethereum and other altcoins, both remain well below their historical dominance levels. Ethereum previously reached 18% market share, while altcoins once commanded 28.5%.
Analysts emphasize that although the broader market is seeing movement, Bitcoin remains the primary driver of this cycle. The data highlights BTC’s continued influence over overall market sentiment and investor behavior.
