🪙 Tomorrow will take place the listing of Bitcoin ETF from Morgan Stanley.

🤣 CZ said that SBF "in all seriousness" asked him for a couple of billion dollars during the call—"as if he were asking for a sausage sandwich."

He emphasized, however, that he had no plans to buy FTX, and that the letter of intent was merely a formality to assess the situation and protect users.

🍿 CZ released a book «Freedom of Money», interesting points:

🔵 Why the FTX exchange collapsed so quickly. Caroline Ellison publicly stated that she was ready to buy back the FTT token at $22 — this was a mistake, as the market perceived this price as a ceiling and began actively shorting. As a result, the token collapsed.

🔵 Missed opportunity with Ethereum. CZ met Vitalik back in 2013 and knew about Ethereum from the very beginning, but he didn't invest because he doubted whether the idea was even feasible.

🔵 Story with the SEC head. In 2019, CZ met Gary Gensler and even offered him to become an advisor to Binance — he refused, saying he wanted to head the SEC. A few years later, it was under him that the regulator filed a lawsuit against Binance.

🔵 Why LUNA wasn't sold at its peak. Binance invested $3 million in LUNA back in 2018; by the time of the collapse, the position had grown to $1.6 billion, but Changpeng Zhao refused to sell: he didn't want to exacerbate market panic. As a result, the asset virtually zeroed out.

🪙 After 18 months of investigation, The New York Times stated, that Adam Back could be Satoshi Nakamoto — the creator of Bitcoin.

🎛 After the release of Changpeng Zhao's book, an old conflict flared up— OKX CEO accused him of lying and distorting events from the OKCoin era.

Zhao himself claims he left due to disagreements and denies forging contracts, admitting that someone else could have used his account.

In response, the head of OKX calls him a "pathological liar", states that there is evidence of forgery, and accuses him of market manipulation — the dispute has been ongoing since 2014–2015.

🪙 A new standard ERC-8211 in Ethereum will allow to combine complex DeFi operations into one transaction instead of several separate steps.

This will simplify the work of AI agents and applications — the system will be able to calculate the result right during execution, without predefined parameters.

@DeCenterOrg

☠️ Scammers are increasingly selling fake hardware wallets with a pre-set seed phrase — after some time they simply withdraw the funds.

Such devices should only be bought from official sellers, and you should always generate the seed phrase yourself — otherwise, the wallet itself turns into a hacking tool.

@DeCenterOrg

💳 Visa has unveiled a merchant platform that enables purchases using autonomous artificial intelligence.

@DeCenterOrg

🪙 Circle launched CPN Managed Payments, a platform that allows banks and payment services to process USDC payments without storing crypto assets: all infrastructure and compliance remains with Circle.

This simplifies the integration of stablecoins into traditional payments and reduces barriers for institutions.

@DeCenterOrg

🪙 A developer proposed a way to save Bitcoin wallets from a quantum attack: instead of vulnerable signatures, the owner will be able to prove that the wallet belongs to them without revealing secret data.

This will allow access to funds to be maintained even if current cryptography stops working.

This complements ideas like BIP-360 and provides a realistic scenario for saving funds in a post-quantum world.

@DeCenterOrg

💰 Bitcoin Depot, a cryptocurrency ATM operator, reported a $3.7 million hack, in which an attacker gained access to its IT systems and withdrew approximately 50.9 BTC from corporate wallets.

The incident occurred amid increasing regulatory pressure and licensing issues in the US – 666 such devices have been shut down in the country since the beginning of 2026 alone.

In March, Connecticut authorities suspended Bitcoin Depot's money transfer license after the operator exceeded the state's 15% fee cap on 1,015 transactions. This resulted in 510 customers overpaying approximately $150,426.

🪙 Binance remains the largest liquidity center — even against the backdrop of a market slowdown, it accounts for about 32% of spot and 40% of derivatives.

At the same time, futures now form the main activity ($3.5 trillion per month), where Binance leads by a large margin.

Even with a decrease in volumes, traders continue to concentrate on the platform due to market depth and execution quality.
