🇮🇳 Coinbase said that a former customer support employee was arrested in India after hackers allegedly bribed support staff to gain access to client data.
The case highlights that even major crypto platforms remain vulnerable to the human factor, which often becomes the weakest link in security systems.

🖥 In Hood County, Texas, a years-long conflict between residents and the mining company MARA over constant industrial noise has moved into the courts — residents complain of health problems and declining property values, while the company insists its operations are legal and economically beneficial to the region.
An attempt by locals to gain city status and impose strict noise regulations failed in a vote.
The situation highlights the hidden social costs of the rapid growth of crypto mining in the U.S.

🇸🇻 The IMF once again claims that El Salvador has formally wound down its Bitcoin experiment: public BTC accumulation has stopped, the Chivo wallet is being phased out, and any increase in reserves is explained as internal transfers under the EFF program.
In practice, however, the Bitcoin Office says the opposite: the country continues to buy 1 BTC per day, holds over 7500 BTC, and, according to Bitcoin Office head Stacy Herbert, these purchases are happening despite the IMF’s stance.

💰 In 2025, hackers stole $3.4 billion in cryptocurrency — nearly 70% of total losses came from just three major incidents, including a $1.5 billion hack of the Bybit exchange.
The biggest threat remains North Korean hackers, who took $2 billion in 2025 alone, bringing their total haul since 2022 to $6.75 billion.

🪙 It’s a good time to recall Michael Saylor’s tweet from exactly 12 years ago, when he “declared Bitcoin dead,” saying that “its days were numbered.”
Today, the company he owns, Strategy, holds 671 268 BTC on its balance sheet, making it the largest public holder of cryptocurrency in the world.

💸 Yesterday, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a record inflow of funds since November 11 — over $450 million.

🗽 The US Federal Reserve has withdrawn its 2023 guidelines that limited the participation of small banks in the cryptocurrency sector.

🎲 2025 marked a turning point for the crypto derivatives market, shifting from retail-driven speculation to an institutional model built around ETFs, regulated infrastructure, and on-chain solutions.
Institutional capital became the primary growth driver, while Bitcoin increasingly behaved as a high-risk asset, culminating in the largest liquidation event in October with over $19 billion wiped out in a single day.
With total derivatives trading volume reaching $85.7 trillion, the market has matured, but high leverage and liquidity concentration continue to pose systemic risks heading into 2026.

🪒 Solana's USX stablecoin temporarily lost its peg to the dollar, falling to $0.1 due to liquidity outflows.
@DeCenterOrg
☠️ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged three purported crypto trading platforms and four “investment clubs” with an online fraud scheme that allegedly cost investors more than $14 million.
The scheme relied on social media ads and WhatsApp groups with supposed “experts,” directing victims to fake platforms where withdrawals were blocked under the pretext of additional fees.
According to the SEC, no real trading took place, and the funds were siphoned abroad through bank accounts and crypto wallets.
@DeCenterOrg
🐳 During bull markets, venture investors often overvalue crypto projects, driven by hype and excitement.
When sentiment cools, these projects face a “reality check,” with market caps falling far below prior private valuations.
The recent crypto downturn has clearly exposed the gap between VC valuations and actual market prices.

📊 VanEck points to the largest monthly drop in BTC's hashrate since April 2024, which may indicate miner capitulation.

🪙 Over the past month, long-term Bitcoin holders have carried out one of the largest coin distributions seen in the last five years.
Previously, this supply was absorbed by demand from Bitcoin ETFs and investment funds, but inflows have now turned negative, derivatives activity has declined, and retail participation has weakened.
As a result, the additional supply is weighing on a market that has become noticeably less stable.
