🕵️ Reuters: FSB recruited a Canadian teenager and paid him with bitcoins
According to an investigation by Global Ledger and Recoveris, in 2023, a teenager from Canada went to Donbass, where he was recruited by FSB officers.
He was instructed to go to Europe - travel and housing costs were paid for in cryptocurrency. In total, he received more than $500 in BTC, which he was supposed to cash out in Poland.
Being in Warsaw in a state of stress and alcohol intoxication, he voluntarily surrendered to the police.
In December 2024, the court sentenced him to 20 months in prison.
Analysts found that the transfers came from crypto wallets associated with the FSB - one of them has conducted transactions worth over $600 million since June 2022.

🤖 leading managers in the field of AI quit for fear of destroying humanity
Several top managers have left leading artificial intelligence companies for fear of being involved in the extinction of humanity.
The question of the limitless possibilities of neural networks is increasingly becoming the subject of discussion among Google, Meta and OpenAI employees.
🔊Here are some opinions about the risks:
⏺️Elon Musk - 20%
⏺️Sundar Pichai calls this probability "quite high"
⏺️Dario Amodei - 10-25%.
Some of the work of artificial intelligence is generated independently. For example, IT specialists in the field of language models sometimes do not know themselves why large systems respond to a request in this way.
Moreover, the desire of companies to create improved versions of neural networks may lead to a lack of control by specialists, because "virtual graduate students working together at superluminal speed" will not want to obey anyone.
🀄️Similar cases have been recorded in our time. Earlier, the specialists of the company Anthropic discovered the ability of the neural network to lie and blackmail users in order to protect themselves from disconnection.

"The creators of AI themselves, who admit that they don't know for sure how it actually works, see the probability that it will destroy our species as 1:10, maybe 1:5. Would you get on a plane with such chances? Would you build a plane and let others in with such chances?" — said Axios co-founders Jim Vandehay and Michael Allen.

⚠️Iran has issued a strong warning, holding Israel fully accountable if it continues escalating military actions. The rising tensions between the two countries are fueling volatility across financial markets—particularly in the cryptocurrency sector.
Investors are urged to stay alert, as the conflict is exerting downward pressure on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various other digital assets. In the long run, this persistent instability may drive greater demand for hedging instruments such as stablecoins and DeFi tokens.

Trump suddenly (between posts about Iran) devoted an entire paragraph to the crypt and the new law on stablecoins.
He writes that the future belongs to digital assets. That's true, but digital assets are still stalling, but shares of companies that deal with them are flying into space on such posts and laws.

🥇CoinShares analysts claim that Bitcoin has become less volatile than gold.
Why do countries and companies choose BTC as a Reserve Asset:
⏺️It cannot be printed for more than 21 million.
⏺️The average yield since 2009 has been about 165% per year, while gold has only 7.6%.
⏺️It complements other assets well, as it is poorly connected with them.
⏺️Bitcoin cannot be frozen or taken away, it is protected from sanctions.
⏺️It is considered stable in times of crisis.
⏺️It operates on reliable decentralized technology and does not depend on centralized systems.

Markets, money & mayhem. Served fresh.
📈 Bitcoin’s Bullish Pause
BTC is hovering around $107,100, stuck in a $106K–107.7K range after a subtle dip
Analysts caution the momentum’s slowing—resistance near $110.5K could either spark a rally or a pullback before breakout
Whales are still stacking—Bitcoin Treasury Corp added 771 BTC ($113M CAD) to its treasury . So yeah... institutions are still buying in.
🏛 GENIUS Act Advances — But Watch Tether
The Senate-genius GENIUS Act passed 68–30, setting the first U.S. stablecoin rulebook:
– 💰 100% liquid reserves & monthly audits
– 🕵️ AML/KYC for issuers
– 🛡 Consumer safeguards & bank-like ops approved
Investors and crypto insiders are split: some call it overdue clarity, others worry about the lane it gives Big Tech (hey Meta), and what it means for Tether .
Wall Street whispers that Circle’s setup is looking real good—much better than Tether’s opaque model.
📊 Crypto World Politics Complex AF
Lobbyists dropped more than $100M shaping DC crypto playbooks .
They’re debating whether to push market-structure rules alongside GENIUS, or risk stalling everything.
SEC is ready to act solo—setting the stage for some insider drama during the House vote .
📦 The Wrap-Up
Bitcoin’s sitting tight under $110K, but institutions remain locked in. Stablecoins got a Senate cheer—regulation is no longer a maybe, it’s a move.
Tether’s looking sketched, Circle’s getting high-fives, and Meta might be eyeing a stablecoin dessert.
If you’re not paying attention… you’re basically using dial-up in a 5G world.

Markets, money & mayhem. Served fresh.
📈 Bitcoin Holding Steady Around $108K
BTC is trading near $107,800–109K, up ~0.9% to $107,752, bouncing on strong institutional vibes and Trump’s ongoing crypto-friendly tone.
Spot ETFs have raked in $48B+, but a small $342M outflow happened on July 1.
Standard Chartered still spots upside: $135K by Q3 and $200K by year end, thanks to ETF money, corporate buying, and friendly regulation.
Translation: Bitcoin’s chilling in the green zone—if it breaks resistance near $110K–$111K, we might see fireworks.
🏛 Coinbase Surges on Stablecoin & Genius Act Boost
COIN is climbing—premarket gains of +2.3%, and Bernstein just raised its price target by 65%, calling Coinbase “misunderstood” and ready for a crypto revival.
The Senate passed the GENIUS Act (68–30), setting rules: 100% collateral, audits, AML/KYC.
Coinbase launched “Coinbase Payments” for 24/7 USDC transfers, integrated with Shopify—retailers like Walmart & Amazon are watching closely
Legacy payment biggies? They’re taking a hit while Coinbase rides the wave.
🏦 Circle Applies for National Bank Charter
Circle filed for a “First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A.” with the OCC to handle USDC reserves and institutional custody
Since its IPO on June 5, CRCL stock has surged 516%, fueled by bullish sentiment and pending regulation
This move positions Circle to go head-to-head with traditional finance in digital currency custody.
📦 The Wrap-Up
Bitcoin’s steady, but it’s coiled—ready for the next big move.
Meanwhile, Coinbase and Circle are cashing in as stablecoin and crypto-everything takes front stage, and TradFi players are getting squeezed.
Point is: ignoring crypto now is like skipping Wi-Fi in a world of 5G.
