U.S. authorities file a lawsuit to confiscate BTC-e crypto assets
The U.S. government has filed a civil forfeiture case targeting the crypto assets of BTC-e — one of the largest exchanges back in 2013–2017, shut down during an American law enforcement operation. By 2025, U.S. regulators should have a pretty good understanding of what cryptocurrency is and how it works. So if they’re filing a lawsuit to confiscate...
ReachMe shuts down: not everyone wants to buy attention
The paid messaging platform ReachMe on BNB Chain, once known for letting users pay 1 BNB to send a direct message to CZ, has announced its shutdown. The idea of paywalls for private messages didn’t catch on, and the project couldn’t survive in the market. That’s a pity — it was actually a clever use case for crypto. For years, experts have been saying that we live in...
Kadena LLC shuts down, but the blockchain lives on
The company behind the Kadena blockchain has announced that it’s ceasing operations — and therefore ending official support for the network. Now, what does that sound more like? 1. Satoshi Nakamoto’s 2011 farewell message saying he was stepping away from Bitcoin development? 2. Or the closure of the HECO chain — the one I wrote about roughly a year ago?...
4% theory goes brrr
Bitwise dropped some eye-opening numbers. According to their model, moving just 4% of global gold capital into Bitcoin could double BTC’s price. People read that… thought about it… and started selling gold to buy Bitcoin. Gold crashed 6.3% in a day — the biggest daily drop since 2013 — while Bitcoin jumped by almost the same percentage. But is that really what happened? Did...
ChatGPT is losing again, but DeepSeek believes in FLOKI
Remember that experiment I ran back in May when I asked ChatGPT to pick the most promising coin for the next week or two? It chose SUI — and the price dropped significantly during that period. According to Alpha Arena, I simply chose the wrong AI! In the ongoing LLM trading competition, ChatGPT has been showing steady losses for two days in...
Why ADL Isn’t the Villain Everyone Thinks It Is
Right before the crypto market crashed on October 10, one savvy trader hedged his $5 million long position in BTC by opening a $500 thousand short on Dogecoin with 15x leverage. A smart move! When Bitcoin drops, DOGE usually falls even harder. The setup looked perfectly balanced: the hedge was supposed to protect him and even leave him in profit...
B-SSL makes your bitcoins unstealable — and recoverable
A new Bitcoin technology called B-SSL has just been introduced — a vault that makes it almost impossible to steal your coins even under physical coercion, while still allowing recovery if you ever lose your private key or seed phrase. Here’s how it works. The vault is meant for long-term storage, but when you need to withdraw, there are three possible paths:...
The Buyback Illusion
In the past few months, the crypto community has embraced a new belief: that the key to a successful token launch is a buyback program — when the team behind a token spends part of its profits to buy its own token on the open market. And yes, there’s some logic to it. At least it gives holders the comfort of knowing that as long as the...
The Moment Banks Realize They’re No Longer in Control
Visa is now advising banks and other financial institutions to integrate stablecoins into their business models: * use them for fast and low-cost settlements (instead of correspondent accounts), * accept deposits in stablecoins, * issue loans in stablecoins, * and even automate payments through smart contracts. All of this, of course, assumes that banks themselves will become...
Massive withdrawals from Binance — and not only Binance
Today, the crypto community is talking about how traders have been actively withdrawing funds from Binance after the events of October 10. The outflows have become so large that the exchange even suspended withdrawals for certain assets. Once again, it raises the question: do exchanges really hold all the crypto they claim to have? But here's something worth noting — Binance...
