DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

❄️ Tether has frozen approximately $515,000,000 USDT over the past month, adding 371 addresses to its blacklist.

The main impact was on Tron — 329 addresses and approximately $506 million were blocked there, while on Ethereum — about $8.7 million.

💸 Coinbase reported a record market share of 8.6% and a quarterly trading volume of $202 billion, but the picture is far from perfect — revenue in Q1 2026 fell by 31% to $1.41 billion, and net loss amounted to $394 million.

Therefore, Coinbase is increasingly betting on Base, USDC, and on-chain payments, and not just on exchange trading.

✖️ People on Twitter have actively started to criticize ZachXBT — many believe that he is no longer just an on-chain detective, but a person with enormous influence on the market.

They recall his sales of received tokens, the story with the ZACHXBT shitcoin, connections with major players, and his anonymity, which makes it unclear what his real interests are.

The main question from the community is — is he still an independent fighter against scam or is he already part of a big crypto game?

🪙 Vitalik Buterin suggested creating separate "shelves" for different data types for Ethereum, so that the network doesn't store everything in one general heap.

For example, private transactions create a huge number of records that cannot simply be deleted, and over time this can significantly inflate the blockchain.

The new approach should help Ethereum process more operations in parallel, scale more easily, and not turn into a network that only super-expensive servers can support.

📊 Amidst BTC's growth, money is actively flowing into centralized exchanges again — the total net inflow to the largest CEXs amounted to over $2 billion.

🇷🇺 The Russian State Duma Committee approved for the first reading a bill on the introduction of criminal liability for illegal mining — they want to introduce liability for damage or income from 3.5 million rubles, considering particularly large scale from 13 million, and property for illegal mining can be confiscated.

🐂 Bullish sentiment for BTC reached a 4-month high — according to Santiment, in social media, there are already 1.37 bullish comments for every 1 bearish comment.

After BTC returned above $80,000, retail again expects continued growth, but such confidence often becomes not a buy signal, but a reason to be more cautious.

This doesn't mean the rally is over, but the market already looks noticeably hotter — in April, when fear and bearish forecasts dominated social media, the room for growth was much more comfortable.
