🍿 Vitalik Buterin left Telegram
Vitalik believes that 2026 will be a turning point in the restoration of computational self-sovereignty — the ability of individuals and organizations to independently control their data, software, and digital infrastructure. In his opinion, the significance of this process extends far beyond the blockchain industry and affects the entire digital environment.
In 2025, Buterin took two fundamental steps in this direction. He almost completely switched to decentralized tools for working with open-source documentation and end-to-end encryption.
Additionally, he made Signal his primary messenger, abandoning the use of Telegram.

After the theft, the teenager attracted attention with ostentatious spending, which ultimately led to his de-anonymization.

🎲 One of the traders on Polymarket earned about $233,000 in two nights, taking advantage of the specifics of trading bots' operation.
A user under the nickname a4385?tab=positions">a4385 bought "UP" positions on short-term markets despite the falling asset price, which attracted algorithmic counterparties confident in arbitrage profit.
Shortly before expiration, he briefly influenced the spot price of the asset via the futures market (on Binance with huge leverage), which was enough for the desired outcome — as a result, the bots did not have time to adjust their positions and incurred significant losses.

☠️ In an analytical thread, a scheme of manipulation with the RIVER token is being examined, in which, according to the author, Bitget exchange's infrastructure played a key role.
Through a network of thousands of connected wallets, a significant portion of the token's supply was concentrated, after which the assets were gradually withdrawn from the exchange and held off-market — the total volume of withdrawn funds is estimated at approximately $22 million, and at the price peak, the position reached about $300–350 million.
The analyst notes that such operations either occurred with the exchange's assistance or without proper control on its part, and points out that similar incidents involving Bitget have been recorded previously.
