🤖 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 Russian Government Commission approved stricter punishment for illegal mining: for damages from 13 million ₽ — up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 2.5 million ₽, for smaller amounts — up to 1.5 million ₽.

At the same time, a ban on mining is already in effect in several regions until 2031.

@DeCenterOrg
🦅 In Russia, only major cryptocurrencies are planned to be allowed for trading on exchanges: a bill approved by the government commission introduces strict selection criteria.

The list will include assets with a capitalization of 5 trillion ₽ or more and high trading volume, as well as with a transparent price history of at least 5 years on licensed platforms.

In fact, this means that the market may be limited to the largest and most liquid crypto assets.

🪒 Analysts drew attention to anomalous trades that occurred just minutes before Donald Trump's statement: a large long position in S&P 500 futures (worth $1.5 billion) and an aggressive short on oil were accompanied by volumes 4-6 times higher than normal.

Immediately after the news about postponing the strike on Iran, the market reacted mirroring these positions — the index sharply rose, and oil collapsed.

Such a precise coincidence strengthens suspicions that someone acted based on insider information.

🪙 Ethereum Foundation described how the ecosystem will develop: the base layer (Ethereum L1) will remain the main hub for settlements and DeFi.

And layer-two networks (L2) are gradually moving away from the role of "just an accelerator" and are focusing on various specialized services and convenience for specific user tasks.
