🎰 Almost half of Polymarket's volume may be artificial: about 28% is created by airdrop farmers by spinning "dead" markets, and another 23% — bots that simply drive bets every 15 minutes without real prediction.

💎 A large holder of Heart Locket gifts was scammed out of 135,000 TON ($173,000) — after his transfer, scammers sent "dust" from an address that almost perfectly matched his wallet — identical first and last characters.
Later, out of habit, he copied this similar address from his transaction history and sent the funds to the attackers himself.

🇷🇺 The Russian Federal Tax Service has started sending preliminary requests to crypto exchangers — they are requesting not only sale and purchase agreements, but also the addresses of wallets from which crypto is sent.
There are two reasons: to check those who paid with cryptocurrency for large purchases (this may be considered a violation of currency control with serious penalties), and to build a database for potential cases against exchange owners under articles concerning illegal banking activities.
So far, there are few cases, but the practice is just forming.

🪙 Binance announced a set of 7 features/API skills that allow third-party AI agents to receive market data, work with wallets, and execute orders through a single interface.

🍿 Vitalik Buterin stated that one "perfect" DeFi is not enough: amidst surveillance, wars, and corporate pressure, Ethereum has not yet become a real tool for protecting people — unlike Starlink or Signal.
He proposes a new focus — "shelter technologies": to create a digital space without an owner, where rules and agreements exist without anyone's permission.
The task is not to chase Big Tech, but to build a complete ecosystem of freedom: from wallets and AI interfaces to software, hardware, and physical security, attracting users far beyond the crypto industry.

🪙 In simulated economic scenarios, 22 out of 36 AI models chose Bitcoin as the preferred currency, and none ranked fiat first.

🎠 1inch rolled out a major update — a separate Trading Mode with limit orders and classic swaps with gas and slippage settings has appeared, and Pro has been officially relaunched as a terminal with updated UX/UI and expanded order history.
And most importantly — speed: swaps are almost 2 times faster, median execution time decreased from 26 to 14 seconds, and a quarter of transactions close in less than 9 seconds.
Cross-chain swaps are now executed in seconds instead of minutes, while remaining fully non-custodial.

🇪🇺 The European Central Bank is sounding the alarm — the growing popularity of stablecoins could drain deposits from banks and weaken lending to the economy.
In a new report, the ECB notes that the more actively people transfer money into digital "dollars" and "euros", the more difficult it becomes for banks to issue loans and conduct monetary policy.
Simply put, stablecoins are gradually taking a bite out of the traditional banking system — and the regulator doesn't like that at all.
@DeCenterOrg
🇷🇺 The Russian Ministry of Finance suggested that stablecoins may receive separate regulation and be classified as "digital currency", not cryptocurrency.
Officials recognize their special nature and potential, therefore they do not rule out a separate bill after the launch of basic crypto regulation, scheduled for July 1, 2026.
In the current version of the document, the concept of stablecoins is completely absent.

🕊 White hat hacker returned $1.84 million out of $2.26 million stolen during the hack of the decentralized lottery Foom Cash — he found a critical error in the protocol and managed to freeze part of the funds on the Base network, for which he received a reward of $320,000.
The vulnerability arose due to a missed "shuffling" stage for applications, which allowed the specialist to falsify data and declare himself the winner.

🔮 Users of Kalshi suddenly found themselves in the red after the platform, for ethical reasons, canceled the market related to the "resignation" of Iran's supreme leader **Ali Khamenei**.
Trading was frozen amidst reports of his death, and the CEO promised to roll back trades and compensate fees, stating that the platform does not allow profiting from anyone's death.
Despite assurances, some traders have already complained about losses — the prediction market once again reminded that even "bets on politics" can end with an unexpected stop.

A separate fee is provided for the providers themselves — 0.03% on each transaction.

⛔️ The community within a day «buried» the idea of former Mt. Gox CEO rewriting the Bitcoin code to return 79,956 BTC (over $5 billion at current prices) — Mark Karpeles proposed to "move" the coins to creditors, but developers and even some of those affected said a firm "no".
The argument is simple and strict: if you rewrite the rules once for $5 billion — then the principle "your keys = your money" will cease to be law.
