😱 Ethereum activity growth may be deceptive — transactions have increased, but the median volume in dollars has fallen by 77%, and large capital is barely entering.

The market is currently being driven by small transfers and overheated derivatives — funding rates on Binance have surged by approximately 2400%.

💸 According to Lookonchain, Abraxas Capital withdrew 3,931 XAUT worth $16 million from exchanges, and another whale, after a three-year hiatus, took 953 XAUT worth $4 million from Binance.

Overall, the XAUT outflow from exchanges for the day reached $17.4 million — approximately 16 times higher than the usual level, which looks like a significant accumulation of tokenized gold by large players.

🤡 In the US, prosecutors accused an already convicted money launderer of stealing $290,000 in cryptocurrency from a Kraken account, which had been seized by the court.

The irony is that, according to the investigation, he committed the new theft while already behind bars.

🤖 Vitalik Buterin believes that the AI debate boils down to two different scenarios — if superintelligence emerges in the coming decades, it is logical to slow down AI development; if it's just another technology, restrictions will only strengthen the power of large companies and states.

He himself does not venture to guess which path will prove real, so he suggests preparing for both — developing open source, cryptography, secure hardware, and other technologies that will be useful in any future.

🇹🇭 Thailand tightens the screws around crypto — from Q4 2026, stablecoin operations, primarily USDT, will come under enhanced control, and for deposits from 5 million baht ($150,000), the source of funds will need to be confirmed.

After the introduction of similar rules for withdrawing large sums, the volume of such operations has already fallen by 35%.

☘️ It is reported, that a small Bitaxe miner with a hashrate of about 1 TH/s alone found Bitcoin block #957382 and received the full reward — 3.1382 BTC (about $200,000).

Such an event is almost unbelievable — instead of large mining farms, luck went to a home device the size of a small computer.

🇹🇷 In Turkey, charges were filed against 504 participants of a $850,000,000 money laundering scheme, where, according to the investigation, shell companies, POS terminals, exchange offices, and cryptocurrency operations were used.

Part of the funds, prosecutors allege, were converted into cryptocurrency and withdrawn abroad — the organizers face up to 34.5 years in prison.

🇷🇺 The digital ruble (CBDC) can bring the Russian economy 423 billion rubles a year, with the main benefit, according to estimates, going to businesses — due to cheaper and faster payments, automation of settlements, and simplification of cross-border operations.

💤 A Bitcoin wallet, which had been inactive for 7 years, unexpectedly transferred 2,931 BTC (about $188 million) to a new address — the coins were bought, when Bitcoin was worth only $6,500, and remained untouched all this time.

🤖 By 2033, AI freelancers and micro-companies can process through stablecoins up to $262 billion per year — banks are too slow and expensive for such a market, and AI agents cannot even open an account — therefore cryptodollars can become the main payment system for the new digital economy.
