📊 A fresh perp-DEX ranking shows that Hyperliquid confidently holds the top spot for activity — with huge volume and liquidity.

🚕 A taxi driver from Los Angeles received $2 000 000 in COVID relief and instead of business, threw it all into crypto — now he is accused of fraud.

The prosecution has already seized about 40 BTC and other assets bought with this money.

🤖 Co-founder a16z Marc Andreessen predicted a boom of "one-person unicorns" in the AI era.

🐋 JPMorgan has started accepting BTC and ETH as collateral, allowing institutional clients to obtain dollar liquidity without selling crypto assets.

The bank issues loans against crypto, but with a margin — it considers only 50–70% of its value, to reduce volatility risks.

Essentially, BTC and ETH are beginning to be used as full-fledged financial collateral on par with traditional assets like bonds.

🍿 DAI has effectively lost its status as a fully decentralized stablecoin: a significant portion of its collateral consists of centralized USDC and real-world assets off-chain.

In parallel, MakerDAO is promoting USDS with an address freezing function, gradually moving liquidity away from DAI — and the protocol is increasingly dependent on traditional finance.

Paradoxically, it is against this backdrop that Vitalik Buterin in 2026 calls for more decentralized stablecoins: competition for yield almost inevitably pushes projects towards centralization.

🇷🇺 The Russian Government Commission approved stricter punishment for illegal mining: for damages from 13 million ₽ — up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 2.5 million ₽, for smaller amounts — up to 1.5 million ₽.

At the same time, a ban on mining is already in effect in several regions until 2031.

@DeCenterOrg

🦅 In Russia, only major cryptocurrencies are planned to be allowed for trading on exchanges: a bill approved by the government commission introduces strict selection criteria.

The list will include assets with a capitalization of 5 trillion ₽ or more and high trading volume, as well as with a transparent price history of at least 5 years on licensed platforms.

In fact, this means that the market may be limited to the largest and most liquid crypto assets.
