⛔️ Hyperliquid has started blocking via the web interface wallets that interacted with HTX after British sanctions — the DEX protocol itself remains open, but the main site now blocks addresses through risk checks from Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM.
It turns out to be a strange paradox — a decentralized exchange does not store assets and does not require KYC, but access to it for most users can still be closed by a regular interface.
What's worse is that even "clean" wallets can fall under risk — due to linked accounts on platforms or dust attacks, when a problematic address itself sends you small amounts.

🏦 Billionaire Tim Draper believes that quantum computers are more likely to create problems for banks with their outdated infrastructure than for Bitcoin — in his opinion, even with the emergence of a real threat, the BTC network will be able to adapt, whereas the traditional financial system will prove to be much less flexible.

🦅 In Russia, they want to oblige crypto exchanges to automatically withhold personal income tax (PIT) from clients, as is already planned for brokers and other market participants.
If the initiative is adopted, users will not have to calculate the tax themselves — exchanges will do it for them and transfer the money to the budget.

🇷🇺 Russian authorities plan to restrict access for unqualified investors to some cryptocurrencies that the authorities deem risky — even USDT and BNB could fall under these restrictions, buying them will not be prohibited, but additional fees, risk warnings, and other protective measures may be introduced.
The main argument of officials is — issuers of such coins are capable of freezing user assets. A complete ban was discussed, but the market opposed it, so the authorities decided to leave access to these assets, strengthening control and investor protection.

Against this backdrop, his Maelstrom fund dumped HYPE, NEAR, WLD, and ZEC, leaving only BTC and ETH.
Saylor voiced a similar idea.
