Your Crypto Safety Starts with Two Simple Checks
The team behind SAFE - a multisig solution for Web3 that was notably used by the Bybit exchange - has published a guide on their website that starts with one crucial rule: "If you can’t verify it, don’t sign it." This comes in the wake of a recent hack where a significant amount of cryptocurrency was stolen from Bybit. This is indeed a...
Crypto Surprise: STAR10 Puts Holders First
Changpeng Zhao, a key figure in BNB Chain, highlighted findings from an investigation showing that the STAR10 token, issued on BNB Chain as footballer Ronaldinho's official token, poses a serious security threat — the creator can burn ANY holder's tokens at their discretion. Wait! Does anyone actually care about this? * PEPE creators can do something similar. * USDT...
The Hidden Pitfalls of RWA Tokenization
For several years now, experts have been promoting the tokenization of real-world assets as a promising direction for the cryptocurrency industry. Many expect that this area will serve as a springboard for another leap in interest in blockchain technology’s capabilities. However, breakthroughs in this field are not evident. So what’s the issue? Let’s examine who...
Bybit Suspends ZEC and DASH Trading: What Does It Mean?
Bybit has suspended trading in all ZEC and DASH pairs. Users must withdraw these cryptocurrencies from the exchange by May 28. Is this another blow to privacy coins? Unlikely. The campaign to push privacy coins off cryptocurrency exchanges was more characteristic of early 2024 than early 2025. And this approach has already proven ineffective: * In my article...
The SEC has stated that most memecoins aren't securities
When SEC representatives announced that most meme coins are not securities, many immediately equated this with the SEC dropping legal proceedings against Coinbase, Gemini, MetaMask, OpenSea, Robinhood, and Uniswap. They concluded that the next step would be abandoning claims against Ripple and publicly declaring that neither Ripple nor Ethereum should be considered securities. Such a statement...

The popular Fear and Greed Index, published daily on alternative.me, is showing a value that we haven't seen since June 2022: extreme fear at a level of 10.

Why the 'Commission-Free USDT' News Doesn't Add Up
I don't understand why major crypto media outlets are unanimously announcing the upcoming launch of commission-free USDT transfers on the Tron network. In my opinion, this is fake news. The source of these reports is a tweet from Tron founder Justin Sun, where he talks about launching a feature that allows paying gas fees in stablecoin transactions without using TRX...
Are cryptocurrencies truly stateless?
When GMCI launched the GMCI USA index to track crypto projects associated with the US - such as XRP, SOL, DOGE, and ten other assets - I didn't see the point. These cryptocurrencies operate globally, and I couldn't understand their connection to the US. None were created or backed by the US; essentially, their "nationality" seemed artificial. The...
Crypto Exchange Platforms Continue to Block Stolen Ether
Cryptocurrency exchange platforms (both trading exchanges and swapping services) continue to report blockages of ETH stolen from Bybit. At the same time, some companies are refusing to cooperate with Bybit on this matter. Who is right in this situation? Most likely, both sides have valid points. The company refusing to cooperate with Bybit has legitimate reasons. Previously...
