⭐️ Binance reduced entry requirements for VIP levels 1–3 and added a new Rising Star status for users with a balance of $30,000 or more.

Trading volume and BNB thresholds have been reduced several times, although fees for lower VIP levels have slightly increased.

The exchange is expanding access to premium conditions amid growth and a massive influx of traders.

👮‍♂️ On TRON, a scam token "from the FBI" is currently being actively distributed — people are being told that their wallet is under investigation and are required to pass a "verification", otherwise funds will be frozen. The FBI has already warned that no such verifications exist, and it's best not to click on links from such messages.

In 2024, the FBI created its own token on Ethereum called "The NexFundAI Token" and engaged companies "for illegal manipulations" — as a result, 4 crypto companies and 14 individuals were charged.

👻 In Twitter (X) they are spreading a theory that the small rise in BTC is connected to the war in the Middle East — allegedly Iran had been mining cheap BTC ($1300 per coin) for years and quietly selling it on the market, creating hidden pressure.

After strikes on energy infrastructure, mining stopped, sales disappeared — and Bitcoin became "scarcer."

Sounds impressive, but there is no proof for this version.

🍿 A new wave of blockchains is emerging, not for tokens, but for PAYMENTS — general-purpose networks simply don't meet the requirements of banks and large companies.

Circle is building Arc for institutions, Stripe, together with Paradigm, launched Tempo for businesses, while other projects are addressing niche tasks — from FX settlements to private payments.

As a result, the market is segmenting by use cases, and the battle is no longer for "one blockchain for everything," but for complete control over the entire payment infrastructure.

☠️ A resident of Magnitogorsk lost about 3,000,000 rubles, believing in "crypto investments" from an acquaintance on the internet — at first she was even allowed to withdraw a small amount to gain trust, after which she took out loans and transferred everything, access to the money immediately disappeared.

Classic scheme: they show "profit," lure you into large sums, and disappear. Now the police are investigating the case.

📊 A fresh perp-DEX ranking shows that Hyperliquid confidently holds the top spot for activity — with huge volume and liquidity.

Following are smaller, but fast-growing players like Extended and Aster — the market is clearly fragmenting, and competition for traders is only intensifying.

🚕 A taxi driver from Los Angeles received $2 000 000 in COVID relief and instead of business, threw it all into crypto — now he is accused of fraud.

The prosecution has already seized about 40 BTC and other assets bought with this money.

💤 Another ancient whale with 2,100 BTC in its account woke up after 14 years of inactivity.

In 2012, the user paid about $13,600 for the coins, now it's over $147 million.

🇮🇷 UK authorities are dissolving the crypto exchange Zedxion Exchange Ltd, accused of aiding Iran in sanctions evasion — blockchain data shows that the platform and a related company moved over $1 billion, of which 56% is linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

🤖 Co-founder a16z Marc Andreessen predicted a boom of "one-person unicorns" in the AI era.

He believes that AI will allow individuals to control the entire creation process, as was the case with Bitcoin and Minecraft.

🐋 JPMorgan has started accepting BTC and ETH as collateral, allowing institutional clients to obtain dollar liquidity without selling crypto assets.

The bank issues loans against crypto, but with a margin — it considers only 50–70% of its value, to reduce volatility risks.

Essentially, BTC and ETH are beginning to be used as full-fledged financial collateral on par with traditional assets like bonds.

🚬 A 66-year-old Hong Kong resident fell victim three times to the same "crypto investment" scheme and ultimately lost about $840 000: first he invested, then he paid for "reimbursement," and then — for "double compensation."

In all cases, the scammers simply disappeared after the money transfer, and the police consider this part of a single multi-stage scheme to pressure the victim.

🍿 DAI has effectively lost its status as a fully decentralized stablecoin: a significant portion of its collateral consists of centralized USDC and real-world assets off-chain.

In parallel, MakerDAO is promoting USDS with an address freezing function, gradually moving liquidity away from DAI — and the protocol is increasingly dependent on traditional finance.

Paradoxically, it is against this backdrop that Vitalik Buterin in 2026 calls for more decentralized stablecoins: competition for yield almost inevitably pushes projects towards centralization.

☠️ Another hack revealed a classic DeFi vulnerability — in the Resolv Labs protocol, from $200,000, the attacker inflated the emission to $80 million USR, but actually managed to withdraw about $25 000 000.

The rest collapsed along with the token price, which fell by approximately 80%.

🪙 Changpeng Zhao: Bitcoin — a hard asset (like other top crypto).

A hard asset is a real thing with intrinsic value (like gold or land) that cannot be "printed," which is why it usually protects money from inflation and crises.

🖥 The average cost of mining 1 BTC as of mid-March is estimated at approximately $88 000, while the price of the first cryptocurrency is about $69 000 — this means that miners are, on average, losing about $19 000 on each coin.
