☠️ Arkham has uncovered the largest mining theft in history, totaling $3.5 billion

The Chinese mining pool LuBian, which operated in both China and Iran, was hacked in December 2020. A total of 127 426 BTC was stolen — worth $3.5B at the time and now around $14.5B. Neither LuBian nor the hacker had publicly disclosed the breach until now.

At its peak in 2020, LuBian controlled nearly 6% of the Bitcoin network’s total hash rate. On December 28, over 90% of their BTC was drained from their wallets. The next day, $6 million more in BTC and USDT was taken from a LuBian address on the Bitcoin Omni layer.

On December 31, LuBian moved its remaining funds to recovery wallets. They even sent messages to the hacker using the OP_RETURN function on the Bitcoin blockchain, pleading for the return of the stolen coins. This cost them 1.4 BTC across 1516 transactions.

Arkham believes the attackers exploited a flaw in LuBian’s private key generation algorithm, which may have been vulnerable to brute-force attacks.

The hacker still holds the entire stolen sum. Due to Bitcoin’s price increase since 2020, their wallet is now worth $14.5 billion, making them the 13th largest BTC holder in the world — ahead of even the Mt. Gox hacker.

🪙 CZ predicts that in the near future, a real race will begin among nations for Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. One of the world’s largest economies is already actively adopting digital assets, accumulating them, and exploring the creation of a national crypto reserve.

He believes that countries that don’t start buying crypto now risk falling significantly behind. The wealthiest and most developed nations will be the first to accumulate large amounts of Bitcoin, driving its price sharply upward.

According to CZ, other countries will be forced to enter the market later — at much higher prices.

🪙 One of Ethereum’s early whales, who received 1 000 000 ETH for just $310 000 during the ICO, appears to have changed strategy.

After steadily selling off his holdings for years, he suddenly withdrew 13 600 ETH (around $47 million) from exchanges over the past three weeks.

His wallet now holds 59 718 ETH, worth approximately $210 million.

🇺🇸 The SEC has simplified accounting for stablecoins in the U.S.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new guidance: some stablecoins can now be treated as cash equivalents.

🔴 Companies can report fully backed stablecoins (like USDC or USDP) on their balance sheets as “cash.”
🔴 This only applies to U.S. dollar-pegged tokens that are fully backed and redeemable for real dollars.
🔴 The tokens must be non-volatile — their price should remain stable.
