Who Gets Your Crypto Back - Pirates or Exchanges?
Arizona Congressman David Schweikert has introduced a bill called the "Scam Farms Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act of 2025". The proposal would allow the U.S. President to grant special authorizations to private individuals to seize crypto assets from cybercriminals.

This week, the Monero network found itself under a 51% attack. The Qubic project claimed it had gained control over the majority of Monero’s mining power — and backed it up by successfully rewriting several blocks. That sounds alarming: after all, many people believe a 51% attack spells doom for any cryptocurrency. But the reality is far less dramatic. As the...
BIS Wants to Control the Gates
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has proposed a new risk assessment framework for crypto transactions.
