DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

⚡️ Dozens of companies, including Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock and Coinbase, will launch a new stablecoin called OUSD.

USDT and USDC are done? 🚬

🚓 In the Irkutsk region, four men received suspended sentences for stealing mining equipment worth 5.3 million rubles — at night, they broke into a hangar and took out 28 ASIC miners on a truck.

But the plan didn't work out — cameras recorded them, later, police and Rosgvardia detained everyone at their homes, and the equipment was returned.

🇰🇿 Solana Company will support Kazakhstan in creating a $6 billion crypto-megacity — they want to turn the project into a major hub for blockchain, digital assets, and Web3 infrastructure.

🎲 Director Carl Erik Rinsch received 2.5 years in prison after instead of completing the series for Netflix, he sent $11,000,000 of the budget to exchanges.

First, he blew about $6 million on options, then bought Dogecoin for $4 million, turned them into almost $27 million, and spent the profit on a Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, expensive watches, and luxury items — now he must return $11 million to Netflix.

🚬 An unknown hero was liquidated for almost $175,000,000 with one order on Binance exchange.

🇦🇪 Once MiCA requirements come into force, many crypto companies are expected to begin relocating their businesses to Dubai, where regulations are considered more flexible.

Starting June 30, only companies with a MiCA license will be able to operate in the EU, and only 244 crypto firms have received one so far.

🤣 The Ansem project conducted an airdrop of 67.38 million ANSEM ($9.4 million) to over 700 wallets, resulting in almost 50 million tokens ($7 million) going to just 7 wallets.

🪙 Billionaire Jeremy Grantham, who predicted the dot-com bubble and the 2008 crisis, is burying Bitcoin — according to him, BTC will definitely go to zero, even if it takes a long time.

His main thesis is simple — Bitcoin has become neither convenient money nor stable digital gold, but is held mainly by speculation and the belief that someone will buy it for more later.

🚓 Chainalysis proposed to bring order to blockchain investigations — so that the same crypto address would NOT turn out to be clean in one AML service and suspicious in another.

The company proposes to separate findings by levels — where addresses were simply linked into a group, where a connection to an organization was found, and where one can already talk about the owner.

AI in such a system should only be a tool for finding connections, but NOT independent evidence.

🇪🇺 Bybit ceases servicing EU users on its global platform and transfers them to Bybit EU — its MiCA-licensed entity in Austria.

@DeCenterOrg

🪙 Strategy last week DID NOT buy Bitcoin and instead approved a stock buyback of $1 billion — it seems Saylor is temporarily shifting focus from aggressive BTC accumulation to supporting its own shares and liquidity management.

🇮🇳 In India, USDT suddenly became more expensive than the dollar — the stablecoin is being sold at a premium of over 8.5%, around 103 rupees per USDT.

The reason is a liquidity deficit after inspections of companies that, according to authorities, used USDT for international transfers bypassing currency regulations.

@DeCenterOrg

🇦🇿 In Azerbaijan, a law on crypto is planned to be adopted by the end of 2026 — the central bank has already prepared a draft law on the regulation of the crypto-asset market and submitted it for consideration to state bodies.

If the document is approved, this will be the first comprehensive law for the virtual asset market in the country, which until now has existed without a separate legal framework.

☠️ Another Russian woman lost 7,000,000 rubles on "crypto investments" — she listened to a curator for a month, deposited 4.6 million via transfers and another 2.4 million through an exchanger, and when she tried to withdraw the profit, it turned out that only the team of fraudsters was making money there.

The harshest moment — more than 5,000,000 rubles of this money were borrowed.

@DeCenterOrg

🤣 The Bank for International Settlements stated, that current stablecoins are crap USDT/USDC do not qualify as full-fledged money, because they DO NOT provide guaranteed exchange at par between different issuers and blockchains.

In essence, regulators see them not as "digital dollars", but rather as an ETF on the dollar, which, if the market grows, could strengthen dollarization and risks for weak currencies.

@DeCenterOrg

🪙 Vitalik Buterin wrote an article about obfuscation — one of the most powerful and complex tools in cryptography, which allows a program to be run such that the result is visible, but its internal logic remains hidden (under the hood).

In theory, together with blockchain, this could provide almost a "trustless trusted third party" — private voting, complex protocols without committees, and new cryptosystems.

But for now, the main problem is very severe — secure obfuscation already appears mathematically possible, but it works so slowly, that Vitalik calls it almost a "galactic" level of cost.

@DeCenterOrg

🪒 Investors have been withdrawing money from spot Bitcoin ETFs for 7 consecutive weeks — a total of $7.8 billion has left the funds during this period.

Only last week, the net outflow amounted to $1.8 billion.

@DeCenterOrg

⛔️ Loopring is shutting down its DEX — trading has already stopped, the relayer is disabled, and user funds are promised to be automatically returned to wallets at the team's expense.

In recent months, a number of once-famous crypto projects have folded — the market is clearing out those who lacked volume, economics, or a reason to continue living.

☠️ American pensioner lost $222,000 in a romance crypto scam — a scammer named "Bella" gained his trust, moved communication to Telegram, and step-by-step withdrew his money via Coinbase to fake wallets.

US authorities have already found and seized some of the funds in USDT, but the case itself once again shows the main point — "romance + investments + crypto" almost always smells NOT of profit, but of scam.
