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History has already shown: when BTC is massively withdrawn from exchanges, the market usually prepares for sharper movements.

💸 Coinbase is negotiating talks with Bybit about a possible partnership — if the deal goes through, Bybit could get a chance to enter the regulated US market, and Coinbase could strengthen its position by collaborating with one of the largest international exchanges.

🪙 Ethereum Foundation sold 5 000 ETH ($10.2 million) via OTC company BitMine — the funds will go towards protocol development, grants, and the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.

🪙 Big players are actively accumulating Ethereum again:

🔵 ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees after a year-long pause bought 23,393 ETH for approximately $49 million.
🔵 A wallet linked to an early Ethereum developer, 0xbilly, bought an additional 7,769 ETH for $17.5 million.
🔵 In parallel, 20,000 ETH ($44.8 million) was withdrawn from Coinbase.

🍿 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.

🪙 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.
