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

๐Ÿช™ 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.

๐Ÿ’ฐ 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 โ€“ 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.

๐Ÿ’ฐ The incident at Bithumb, where users were credited with 620 000 phantom BTC for 20 minutes, was caused by an operational error, not fraud, and has nothing to do with the FTX collapse, analysts believe. However, the glitch revealed a systemic vulnerabilityโ€ฆ
๐Ÿš“ Bithumb has begun seizing the assets of users who failed to return 7 BTC after being erroneously credited during a promotion.

Due to a glitch, the exchange credited 620 000 BTC instead of small payouts, some of which customers managed to withdraw or sell, leaving a loss of over $100 million.

Now the company is pursuing legal action to recover the funds, and in most cases, users are likely to lose.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ In Russia, fines of up to 20,000 rubles may be introduced for failing to report crypto wallets, โ€” media reports.

It will be necessary to notify the tax authorities even if the wallet is simply created and not used. It is difficult to control this, but when tracking the withdrawal of crypto to fiat within the country, it will no longer be possible to hide assets โ€” and then it will become virtually impossible to evade reporting.
