🎛 An OKX user tried to withdraw 1 BTC but chose the wrong network — and instead of real Bitcoin, due to confusion in the wallet interface, a token on the TON network was sent.
OKX explained: this is not a malfunction, but a network selection error — Bitcoin simply does not work on the TON network.
The story has already reached regulators and once again shows: in crypto, it's important to check every detail before sending.

🗽 SEC and CFTC have finally brought clarity: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and most crypto assets are not considered securities.
Mainly tokenized traditional assets remained under strict regulation, but there's a nuance — any token can be recognized as a security if it is sold with a promise of profit.
Overall, the market received long-awaited certainty after more than 10 years.

🪙 It seems Tether is increasingly transforming from a stablecoin issuer into a full-fledged investment giant — over the past year, the company has disclosed over $1.6 billion in investments in various industries — from media and fintech to sports, gold, and biotechnology:
🔵 Rumble — $785 million
🔵 Elemental Royalty — $250 million
🔵 Juventus FC — $150 million
🔵 Gold com — $150 million
🔵 Anchorage Digital — $100 million
🔵 Gold Royalty — $90 million
🔵 Generative Bionics — $82 million
The irony is that many still perceive Tether simply as a "USDT printing company," but in fact, it is already one of the most active investors in the industry.

🖥 The AI data center boom has once again raised an old question: what if miners massively abandon Bitcoin and go to earn money on AI, where "money is currently flowing faster"?
Some worry that this will weaken the network, but cryptographer Adam Back reminds: everything in Bitcoin self-regulates — miners leave, difficulty drops, and mining becomes profitable again.
Simply put, if AI temporarily "outbids" for electricity, the network will simply wait it out and automatically adjust.
