⛩ Japanese Metaplanet buys Siiibo Securities for $13,000,000 — the deal will give the company a license and infrastructure to launch BTC bonds, security tokens and other products around Bitcoin.

Given 40 177 BTC on Metaplanet's balance sheet, it is no longer just accumulating crypto, but is gradually building a full-fledged financial infrastructure.

📉 In the second quarter of 2026, the ICO/IDO/IEO market in crypto almost died — only $58 million was raised through public sales — 85% less than the previous quarter.

The number of launches also collapsed from 105 to 37, and May became the worst month since 2020 — with only 13 token sales.

All liquidity was apparently taken by the American stock market.

🇬🇪 In Georgia, an AudiA6 crypto-laundromat was shut down, through which since 2022 about 10,333 BTC ($400 million) linked to cybercrime and the darknet could have been laundered.

The scheme charged a 3–10% commission for cleaning funds, and among those detained are Russian Alexander Ledenev and Ukrainian Ruslan Tkachuk; the US is already preparing an extradition request for them.

☠️ Another Russian woman believed in profitable crypto investments from social networks and gave scammers 1,250,000 rubles — all her savings.

She was promised high income, but instead of dividends, all that remained was a criminal case under the article on fraud and a classic lesson — if you are guaranteed profit in crypto, the profit is almost certainly not yours 🚬

Earlier, we wrote that a 46-year-old Russian woman met a man on a dating app who convinced her to "earn on crypto" — as a result, the woman lost 6,300,000 rubles.

🐹 Bitcoin could drop to $53,600 — this is the average purchase price level for all coins in the network, — analysts at CryptoQuant believe.

Market demand has noticeably weakened, money is being withdrawn from spot ETFs again, but real panic is still far off — which is why analysts call this zone a possible bottom, not a guaranteed reversal.

💳 Visa and OpenAI will launch payments for AI agents — assistants will be able to purchase goods and services on behalf of the user, but with confirmation and limits.

Visa will hide real card data — instead of the card number, a secure digital token will be transmitted to the seller.

📊 Renowned financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin compared the current market to the period before the 1929 crash.

He is not worried by the growth itself, but by a familiar set of signs — a boom in new technologies, crowds of retail investors, leverage, weaker regulation, and confidence.

🚓 A 22-year-old American faces up to 20 years in prison for attempting to steal crypto through kidnapping — the guy and his accomplices stole a Lamborghini Urus along with the parents of the person from whom they tried to extort access to hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoins.

💳 Mastercard and Ripple are creating infrastructure for AI agents that will be able to pay for services themselves and perform tasks on behalf of businesses.

☠️ The old Raydium pool on Solana was hacked for $1,340,000 — not the entire exchange was affected, but a separate, outdated liquidity pool.

🇺🇸 US Consumer Price Index (CPI), reflecting inflation, rose to 4.2% — last month's figure was 3.8%.

⛔️ Hyperliquid has started blocking via the web interface wallets that interacted with HTX after British sanctions — the DEX protocol itself remains open, but the main site now blocks addresses through risk checks from Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM.

It turns out to be a strange paradox — a decentralized exchange does not store assets and does not require KYC, but access to it for most users can still be closed by a regular interface.

What's worse is that even "clean" wallets can fall under risk — due to linked accounts on platforms or dust attacks, when a problematic address itself sends you small amounts.
