🪒 User exchanged 50 400 000 USDT for $36 200 — a crypto trader tried to buy AAVE for $50 000 000 through the Aave interface, but received only 324 AAVE ($36 000), confirming the transaction with 99% slippage, despite the warning.

As a result, a $34 million profit was taken by block builder Titan, and the Aave team is now trying to contact the trader to at least return the fees ($600,000).

🛢 The US temporarily allowed to sell Russian oil if it was loaded onto tankers before March 12 — such deals will be valid until April 11, even if the vessels themselves are under sanctions.

Restrictions remain on new deliveries, and the easing is explained by a jump in oil prices after the war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

🤣 Trump is once again organizing a gala dinner for holders of the TRUMP shitcoin — On April 25th, 297 of the largest hodlers will be invited to Mar-a-Lago, and 29 VIPs will get a personal meeting.

The token jumped 18% on the news, but is still hovering about 95% below its high — a dinner is a dinner, but the previous pump is a long way off.

🪙 Ethereum has an "adoption paradox" — the network is breaking activity records, but the price is falling, according to CryptoQuant.

If the bear market continues, analysts allow for a drawdown to approximately $1500 by the end of 2026.

🚓 In the Stavropol Krai, a couple set up a mining farm right in their garage and mined crypto for a year and a half, having connected to electricity bypassing the meter — according to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, during this time they "burned" energy worth over 2,000,000 rubles, now a criminal case has been opened against them.

💰 After the Fusaka update on the Ethereum network, the number of address spoofing attacks sharply increased — "dust" stablecoin transfers jumped by more than 600%.

Scammers send millions of micro-transactions so that their fake addresses appear in wallet history and look "familiar".

The calculation is simple: the user copies an address from recent transactions, doesn't notice the spoofing, and sends money to the attacker themselves. Due to low fees, such a scheme has become cheap and widespread — thousands of attempts for one successful transfer.

🪙 Ethereum Foundation published a new mandate in which they emphasized that their task is not to manage Ethereum, but to protect its original idea — user control over their assets and data.

According to Buterin, Ethereum must become a "refuge technology" — a system where no one can fully control the network, and users always have an escape route from any centralized system.

🪙 On crypto exchanges there is currently the minimum amount of BTC since November 2017 — more and more coins are moving to cold wallets, which means the available supply for sale is decreasing.

History has already shown: when BTC is massively withdrawn from exchanges, the market usually prepares for sharper movements.

🍿 An investigation into the shitcoin LIBRA revealed a document detailing alleged payments of $5 000 000 for its promotion, linked to Argentine President Javier Milei.

The materials were found on the devices of crypto lobbyist Mauricio Novelli — correspondence indicates coordination between participants and contacts with the president's inner circle before publications about the token.

Following Milei's public support, LIBRA's capitalization briefly exceeded $4.5 billion, but then collapsed by 96%, while wallets associated with the project withdrew about $107 million.

🖥 The AI data center boom has once again raised an old question: what if miners massively abandon Bitcoin and go to earn money on AI, where "money is currently flowing faster"?

Some worry that this will weaken the network, but cryptographer Adam Back reminds: everything in Bitcoin self-regulates — miners leave, difficulty drops, and mining becomes profitable again.

Simply put, if AI temporarily "outbids" for electricity, the network will simply wait it out and automatically adjust.

🇰🇿 In Kazakhstan, a batch of mining equipment worth over $1,000,000, which they tried to illegally export to Russia, was confiscated.

At the Aiyat checkpoint, customs discovered 8 tons of equipment, and the exporter did not have an export license.

The Kostanay regional court, following an appeal by the prosecutor's office, ruled to transfer all equipment into state ownership.

🪙 It seems Tether is increasingly transforming from a stablecoin issuer into a full-fledged investment giant — over the past year, the company has disclosed over $1.6 billion in investments in various industries — from media and fintech to sports, gold, and biotechnology:

🔵 Rumble — $785 million
🔵 Elemental Royalty — $250 million
🔵 Juventus FC — $150 million
🔵 Gold com — $150 million
🔵 Anchorage Digital — $100 million
🔵 Gold Royalty — $90 million
🔵 Generative Bionics — $82 million

The irony is that many still perceive Tether simply as a "USDT printing company," but in fact, it is already one of the most active investors in the industry.
