🔐 Binance founder Changpeng Zhao commented on the recent Trezor data breach this week, stating it's "Not a great month for hardware wallets."
📦 CZ argues the incident, which exposed the personal data of ~13.7K customers, reinforces a key advantage of software self-custody wallets. They can be obtained "without purchasing and shipping a physical device that links a user's identity and address to crypto ownership."

📉 Bitcoin is currently trapped between two critical cost-basis levels.
Price sits just above the Median Realized Price at $63K, which has absorbed tests for over a month, but remains below the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis at $68.7K, according to data from Coinglass.
📊 This $5.7K range has held for nearly three months as volatility compresses. The Short-Term Holder cohort is currently underwater, historically making them prone to selling into recoveries.
Conversely, the aggregate Realized Price near $52.8K indicates the broad market still holds healthy profits, meaning no one has been forced into a loss this cycle.
