🖥 The average cost of mining 1 BTC as of mid-March is estimated at approximately $88 000, while the price of the first cryptocurrency is about $69 000 — this means that miners are, on average, losing about $19 000 on each coin.

☠️ Another hack revealed a classic DeFi vulnerability — in the Resolv Labs protocol, from $200,000, the attacker inflated the emission to $80 million USR, but actually managed to withdraw about $25 000 000.
The rest collapsed along with the token price, which fell by approximately 80%.

🚬 A 66-year-old Hong Kong resident fell victim three times to the same "crypto investment" scheme and ultimately lost about $840 000: first he invested, then he paid for "reimbursement," and then — for "double compensation."
In all cases, the scammers simply disappeared after the money transfer, and the police consider this part of a single multi-stage scheme to pressure the victim.

🤖 Co-founder a16z Marc Andreessen predicted a boom of "one-person unicorns" in the AI era.
He believes that AI will allow individuals to control the entire creation process, as was the case with Bitcoin and Minecraft.

💤 Another ancient whale with 2,100 BTC in its account woke up after 14 years of inactivity.
In 2012, the user paid about $13,600 for the coins, now it's over $147 million.

📊 A fresh perp-DEX ranking shows that Hyperliquid confidently holds the top spot for activity — with huge volume and liquidity.
Following are smaller, but fast-growing players like Extended and Aster — the market is clearly fragmenting, and competition for traders is only intensifying.

🍿 A new wave of blockchains is emerging, not for tokens, but for PAYMENTS — general-purpose networks simply don't meet the requirements of banks and large companies.
Circle is building Arc for institutions, Stripe, together with Paradigm, launched Tempo for businesses, while other projects are addressing niche tasks — from FX settlements to private payments.
As a result, the market is segmenting by use cases, and the battle is no longer for "one blockchain for everything," but for complete control over the entire payment infrastructure.

👮♂️ On TRON, a scam token "from the FBI" is currently being actively distributed — people are being told that their wallet is under investigation and are required to pass a "verification", otherwise funds will be frozen. The FBI has already warned that no such verifications exist, and it's best not to click on links from such messages.
In 2024, the FBI created its own token on Ethereum called "The NexFundAI Token" and engaged companies "for illegal manipulations" — as a result, 4 crypto companies and 14 individuals were charged.

🪙 BTQ Technologies launched a quantum-protected Bitcoin testnet, where the BIP-360 standard is already running — it should protect transactions from future quantum computer attacks.
In fact, the company was the first to turn a theoretical solution into a working system with new transaction types and post-quantum signatures.
This looks like an attempt to prepare BTC in advance for a threat that everyone talks about, but almost no one has implemented yet.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 The number of L2 solutions on Ethereum with TVL above $100 000 is rapidly decreasing — even despite the launch of new networks, many of them quickly die out.

🚓 Crypto investor Grigory Muluzian was sentenced to 6 years in prison for fraud: he collected money "for crypto", promised income, and then simply misappropriated the funds.
Among the victims are Pavel Derevyanko and other public figures, the total damage amounted to more than 120,000,000 rubles.

🪙 Changpeng Zhao: Bitcoin — a hard asset (like other top crypto).
A hard asset is a real thing with intrinsic value (like gold or land) that cannot be "printed," which is why it usually protects money from inflation and crises.

🍿 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.

🐋 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.

🇮🇷 UK authorities are dissolving the crypto exchange Zedxion Exchange Ltd, accused of aiding Iran in sanctions evasion — blockchain data shows that the platform and a related company moved over $1 billion, of which 56% is linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

🚕 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.

☠️ A resident of Magnitogorsk lost about 3,000,000 rubles, believing in "crypto investments" from an acquaintance on the internet — at first she was even allowed to withdraw a small amount to gain trust, after which she took out loans and transferred everything, access to the money immediately disappeared.
Classic scheme: they show "profit," lure you into large sums, and disappear. Now the police are investigating the case.
@DeCenterOrg
👻 In Twitter (X) they are spreading a theory that the small rise in BTC is connected to the war in the Middle East — allegedly Iran had been mining cheap BTC ($1300 per coin) for years and quietly selling it on the market, creating hidden pressure.
After strikes on energy infrastructure, mining stopped, sales disappeared — and Bitcoin became "scarcer."
Sounds impressive, but there is no proof for this version.

⭐️ Binance reduced entry requirements for VIP levels 1–3 and added a new Rising Star status for users with a balance of $30,000 or more.
Trading volume and BNB thresholds have been reduced several times, although fees for lower VIP levels have slightly increased.
The exchange is expanding access to premium conditions amid growth and a massive influx of traders.

☠️ Coinbase was found to have a page in its Commerce service where users were prompted to enter a seed phrase to recover funds — this raised questions among experts due to its resemblance to phishing scenarios.
The company is already investigating the situation, but the reminder is simple: a seed phrase should not be entered on any third-party pages.

🇪🇺 European financial giant Amundi ($2.3 trillion under management) launches a $100,000,000 tokenized fund on the Ethereum and Stellar blockchains.

🪙 TradFi perpetual futures trading activity is rapidly growing on Binance — trading volume has already exceeded $153 billion in just a couple of months after launch, and the number of trades has reached tens of millions.
The main interest is concentrated in gold and silver, which form the lion's share of the volume and demonstrate multi-billion dollar daily turnovers: peak activity reaches over 6 million trades per day.
This shows how crypto exchanges are transforming into global platforms, uniting crypto and traditional markets 24/7.
