🪙 Ethereum Foundation published a new mandate in which they emphasized that their task is not to manage Ethereum, but to protect its original idea — user control over their assets and data.
According to Buterin, Ethereum must become a "refuge technology" — a system where no one can fully control the network, and users always have an escape route from any centralized system.

☠️ FBI announced the dismantling of the global hacker proxy service SocksEscort — as part of the operation, dozens of servers and domains were seized and millions of dollars in cryptocurrency were frozen.

🤣 Trump is once again organizing a gala dinner for holders of the TRUMP shitcoin — On April 25th, 297 of the largest hodlers will be invited to Mar-a-Lago, and 29 VIPs will get a personal meeting.
The token jumped 18% on the news, but is still hovering about 95% below its high — a dinner is a dinner, but the previous pump is a long way off.

🪒 User exchanged 50 400 000 USDT for $36 200 — a crypto trader tried to buy AAVE for $50 000 000 through the Aave interface, but received only 324 AAVE ($36 000), confirming the transaction with 99% slippage, despite the warning.
As a result, a $34 million profit was taken by block builder Titan, and the Aave team is now trying to contact the trader to at least return the fees ($600,000).

🧠 Vitalik Buterin stated that the main function of blockchains is NOT payments at all, and not even smart contracts.
According to him, such networks primarily function as a censorship-resistant "public bulletin board" where anyone can write and read data.
Payments come second in importance, and smart contracts only third.

🇷🇺 The State Duma approved a law on fines for mining — for mining cryptocurrency in prohibited regions, individuals can be fined up to 150,000 rubles, and companies — up to 2,000,000 rubles with confiscation of equipment, and for repeated violations, fines for legal entities can reach 10 million rubles.
They will also punish for mining without registration in the FNS (Federal Tax Service) register, exceeding power consumption limits, and operating mining infrastructure without permission.
The authorities believe this will help bring the industry "out of the shadows" and reduce the load on the energy system.

🪙 On crypto exchanges there is currently the minimum amount of BTC since November 2017 — more and more coins are moving to cold wallets, which means the available supply for sale is decreasing.
History has already shown: when BTC is massively withdrawn from exchanges, the market usually prepares for sharper movements.

💰 After the Fusaka update on the Ethereum network, the number of address spoofing attacks sharply increased — "dust" stablecoin transfers jumped by more than 600%.
Scammers send millions of micro-transactions so that their fake addresses appear in wallet history and look "familiar".
The calculation is simple: the user copies an address from recent transactions, doesn't notice the spoofing, and sends money to the attacker themselves. Due to low fees, such a scheme has become cheap and widespread — thousands of attempts for one successful transfer.

🚓 In the Stavropol Krai, a couple set up a mining farm right in their garage and mined crypto for a year and a half, having connected to electricity bypassing the meter — according to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, during this time they "burned" energy worth over 2,000,000 rubles, now a criminal case has been opened against them.

🛢 The US temporarily allowed to sell Russian oil if it was loaded onto tankers before March 12 — such deals will be valid until April 11, even if the vessels themselves are under sanctions.
Restrictions remain on new deliveries, and the easing is explained by a jump in oil prices after the war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

🏦 Financial giants Morgan Stanley and Cliffwater limited withdrawals from their corporate credit funds after a sharp influx of investor requests.
In one of Cliffwater's funds, investors requested to withdraw 14% of assets, but received only 7%, while in Morgan Stanley's fund, less than half of the requests were satisfied due to a 5% limit.
Against the backdrop of money outflow, the direct lending market, valued at approximately $1.8 trillion, is beginning to face liquidity problems, which could intensify pressure on corporate loans and increase default risks.

🤣 In California, a class action lawsuit has been filed against JPMorgan Chase: the bank is accused of facilitating a $328,000,000 crypto Ponzi scheme, organized by Goliath Ventures.
According to the plaintiffs, JPMorgan accounts became a key channel for the movement of investor funds — about $253 million passed through the bank, and another $123 million was sent to crypto wallets hosted on Coinbase.
The plaintiffs believe that without the banking infrastructure, the scheme simply would not have been able to operate.

🖥 At VanEck believe, that Bitcoin miners have unexpectedly found a "goldmine" — their data centers and energy capacities are perfectly suited for AI infrastructure.
Therefore, companies like Core Scientific and Riot Platforms are actively reconfiguring: they are selling some BTC and investing in artificial intelligence capacities.
Investors have already appreciated this — over the year, the shares of these miners have grown by more than 90%.

⌨️ The blockchain ecosystem has faced a massive outflow of developers — since the beginning of 2025, the weekly number of commits has fallen from 850,000 to 210,000, and the number of active developers has decreased to approximately 4,600.
It seems that some of the talent is gradually shifting to a hotter sector — AI, where the main hype and investments are currently concentrated.

🪙 CZ commented on estimates of his wealth and Binance's value — he noted that the company's capital directly depends on the market: when crypto falls, trading volumes, commissions, and, consequently, the exchange's valuation decrease.
According to CZ, neither he nor Binance short the market; on the contrary, they are interested in the industry's growth. And money, after a certain level, is no longer the main thing — health, family, and the opportunity to influence the world are more important.
