DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

🪙 Bitcoin is set to become a little more private — developers propose to remove an old technical tag, by which it is sometimes possible to understand which wallet a person used.

Previously, it showed that a transaction could be replaced with another one with a higher fee, but now this already works almost everywhere without it.

Therefore, they want to remove the extra "trace" so that transactions look more uniform and are harder to track.

🚓 In Krasnoyarsk, a 65-year-old woman lost 5 000 000 rubles after conversations about "profitable investments" in cryptocurrency and oil .

The scheme began as a regular acquaintance, but quickly turned into manipulation — allegedly crypto specialists joined the conversation, who convinced the pensioner to invest money.

The woman knew about scammers, but under pressure from the interlocutors, she still lost critical thinking.

📉 MSUSD stablecoin lost its peg due to panic around reserves — the company that verified the stablecoin's backing refused to continue working with it.

😂 The most karmic hack of the week — the famous MEV bot JaredFromSubway, which for years profited from sandwich attacks on Ethereum, itself fell for a bait and lost over $15,000,000.

Anons slipped him fake "profitable" deals, the bot automatically granted approvals to malicious contracts — and his WETH, USDC, and USDT were simply taken via transferFrom.

🤖 Changpeng Zhao believes that the main risk of the future is not crypto, but artificial intelligence — unlike digital assets, AI can affect civilization much more severely.

At the same time, CZ still believes in the four-year Bitcoin cycle, does not see systemic risks of the Luna and FTX level in the market and expects the merger of crypto with traditional finance.

Separately, he noted that AI agents will most likely use cryptocurrency for payments, because regular banking infrastructure is too cumbersome for them.

🇪🇺 From July 10, 2027, in the EU cash payments for goods and services will be limited to €10,000, rules for crypto services will also be tightened — for single transactions from €1000 they will be obliged to conduct full customer verification.

🪙 No large-scale capitulation for BTC yet — losses of various groups of players are still too moderate compared to past periods of bottom formation.

This means that the market has not yet gone through a full phase of pain, and the risk of further decline remains.

🖥 Every fifth miner mines Bitcoin at a loss — according to JPMorgan, the cost of BTC is now about $78,000 with a market price of approximately $63,000.

To cover expenses, public mining companies sold more than 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026 — more than in all of 2025.

If the pressure continues, weaker players will start to turn off equipment, and the hashrate and network difficulty will continue to decline.

🇸🇪 In Sweden is launching its own stablecoin SEKAU, pegged to the Swedish krona and issued under the rules of European crypto regulation MiCA.

Essentially, this is an attempt to transfer the national currency into an on-chain format — no longer as an experiment, but within the framework of official EU rules.

🇺🇸 Illinois Governor signed a law, which will introduce starting in 2027 a 0.2% tax on crypto transactions and tighten registration requirements for crypto brokers.

🤖 Visa together with Alchemy launched AgentCard — a virtual card for AI agents, so that bots can independently pay for goods and services in the real world.

Essentially, AI receives a Visa payment token, a wallet, email, and spending limits — meaning it doesn't just "think," but can already act as a separate digital user.

🖥 Microsoft warned about a new cryptovirus CryptoBandits — it spreads via USB drives disguised as ordinary documents and checks the clipboard every 0.5 seconds.

If a user copies a crypto wallet address, the virus stealthily replaces it with the scammers' address, and can also steal seed phrases, private keys, and screenshots.

Do not insert unknown USB drives and always check the address before sending crypto.
