DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

🎲 Binance launches a new gamble for those who find crypto isn't enough — now you can trade expectations around companies even before their IPO.

The first case is SpaceX. Not a stock and not a regular Binance CEX future, but a pre-IPO perp via Web3 Wallet/DEX integration.

Essentially, there's no IPO yet, but the casino around the company's valuation is already open.

🇫🇷 In France — another attempt to attack cryptocurrency industry representatives for ransom, unknown individuals in courier uniforms attempted to kidnap the wife of The Sandbox co-founder right at her home.

The kidnapping was foiled by neighbors, and the police have already arrested two teenagers with weapons and handcuffs.

🇮🇷 Iran controls $7.7 billion in crypto assets and actively uses Bitcoin as a bypass financial rail under sanctions, — FOX Business.

🏦 Head of digital assets at a major American bank said that banks are entering crypto through the most straightforward use case — stablecoins for cheap 24/7 payments worldwide.

Derivatives and on-chain trading are currently of little interest to them, but they already perceive tokenization as a threat.

The banks' main fear is simple — if clients start massively holding money in stablecoins, a portion of deposits will flow out of the traditional system.

🇷🇺 Moscow Exchange is preparing for test trading of cryptocurrencies as early as the beginning of summer 2026, and real transactions could launch closer to the end of the year.

The exchange is waiting for the final regulatory design to integrate crypto into the familiar infrastructure — with brokers, depositories, and licensed crypto exchangers.

🪙 An anonymous P2P exchange RetoSwap, where Monero was traded, was hacked — the damage amounted to approximately 7000 XMR ($2 700 000).

The hacker pretended to be an arbiter and slipped a fake message to the system, causing the wallet address to change to his own — as a result, users' money went to the attacker even before a secure multisig wallet was created.

🗽 The Fed proposes a "simplified master account" concept for crypto and fintech companies — direct access to Fedwire and FedNow without intermediary banks.

The terms will be curtailed — no interest, loans, or overdrafts, with a limit of up to $1 billion, but for the crypto market, this is still a big step towards official integration into the US financial system.

🛰 Elon Musk's SpaceX filed an application for an IPO and reported reserves of 18,712 BTC with an average purchase price of $35,000.

☠️ USDT on the TRON network has become the main fuel for the shadow online economy worth $442 billion — according to Elliptic, fake investment platforms, databases, SIM cards, and money laundering services are paid for through the stablecoin.

After some services close, new ones quickly emerge. The problem has long gone beyond ordinary scamming — it is already a full-fledged global financial crime industry.

🐒 Americans were detained in Japan after they climbed into the macaque enclosure for hype around a Solana shitcoin.

One was filming a video, the second was running among the monkeys — the animals panicked, and the token team later promised the zoo $7000 in compensation.

🤣 Trump received a tax "god shield" — The Department of Justice forbade IRS from conducting audits against him, his family, and companies.

All old claims regarding declarations are effectively nullified, and a fund of $1.8 billion will be created for victims of "political persecution".

@DeCenterOrg

🚬 A 43-year-old resident of Voronezh wanted to earn 20% per month on crypto, but ended up giving fraudsters almost 10,000,000 rubles — first, they showed him "profit" on small amounts, then he took out loans and put everything into the scheme, where instead of normal assets, the attackers transferred worthless shitcoins to him, which are not traded anywhere.

A standard scheme — trust, attractive returns, a test withdrawal, and a complete drain in the end.

@DeCenterOrg

🗽 Trump signed an order, which should bring crypto companies closer to the traditional financial system — from banking licenses to access to payment infrastructure.

Regulators were given 90–120 days to find rules, that prevent crypto businesses from operating through banks and Fed payment accounts.

@DeCenterOrg

🇹🇷 In Turkey, in 8 days detained more than 670 people in illegal betting cases, and crypto surfaced again in the investigations — money from gambling schemes was moved through exchangers, jewelry stores, and crypto platforms — for the latest raids alone, the volume of transactions was estimated at approximately $395,000,000.

@DeCenterOrg

🇺🇸 Trump family's Truth Social company withdrew its application for a spot Bitcoin ETF — the decision was made amidst high market competition from similar products offered by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley.

@DeCenterOrg

🇰🇷 Tether enters South Korea — the company filed immediately 7 trademark applications, including the name, logo, and the gold stablecoin XAUT.

Recall that South Korea accounts for about 30% of the global cryptocurrency trading volume, with 85% of transactions there being altcoins, not Bitcoin or Ethereum.

@DeCenterOrg

🇷🇺 Russian investors may be allowed to trade crypto on foreign exchanges through local brokers — access will depend on client status, and platforms will be chosen considering sanctions risks.

@DeCenterOrg

🍿 A Korean funeral company invested customer prepayments into a risky 2x ETF on BitMine shares, and incurred an unrealized drawdown of approximately $33,000,000.

Now the management is calculating, if they will have enough liquidity, should customers massively want to terminate contracts and withdraw money.

@DeCenterOrg

🪙 People continue to leave the Ethereum Foundation — following Tim Beiko and others, two more developers, Carl Beekhuizen and Julian Ma, have left the foundation.

Both were not random employees — one worked on the Beacon Chain and Ethereum throughput, the second was involved in network economics, scaling, and privacy.

Against the backdrop of a series of departures, this no longer looks like a normal rotation, but rather a serious restructuring within the EF.

👻 The Fear and Greed Index has again dropped into the extreme fear zone (25).
