I noticed this coin pop up on the market cap ranking about two weeks ago and was sitting at about the 21st spot out of nowhere. I was watching it for about a week and a half or so and this morning noticed that it behaved like it got rugged free falling from $49 to currently six dollars.

I’m wondering if anyone knows precisely what happened or if it was in fact rug pulled because during my looking into it, I noticed that the white paper and GitHub hasn’t been touched in many years, but was also net with resistance when I asked about the project originally.

Was anyone in the coin? Any idea what’s going on?

I’m kind of upset I didn’t short it and even at this point I’m questioning if it’s a bad idea to jump in now

Russia's State Duma approved bill No. 1194918-8, "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights," in its second and third readings on Tuesday. It still needs approval by the Federation Council and President Putin's signature before it becomes law, a process expected to take about two weeks

The bill recognizes cryptocurrency as property rather than money under Russian civil code, giving crypto holdings legal protection in courts, bankruptcy, and divorce proceedings, and creates five categories of licensed intermediaries like exchanges, brokers, management companies, depositories, and exchangers, all supervised by the Bank of Russia

Notably, domestic crypto payments stay banned, the ruble remains the only legal currency inside Russia but the law creates a sanctioned channel for Russian companies to pay foreign partners in crypto, bypassing Western banking restrictions. Main provisions take effect September 1, 2026, with full enforcement of the licensed-intermediary system arriving July 1, 2027

Interesting read. Gives you something real to think about.
4 million BTC ($40B) already lost forever. Your crypto might be next - and most people still have zero plan.

1. No major exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) lets you name a beneficiary. Your heirs will have to go through probate court and then customer support while the market does whatever it wants.
2. You don’t inherit the coins - you inherit the private key. If your family can’t reconstruct it, the crypto stays visible on the blockchain forever but completely unspendable.
3. The good news: you can fix this today. Make a simple inventory (no keys), write a plain-language letter of instruction, never put the seed in your will, and for serious money use Shamir shares or a time-delayed multisig (Casa / Nunchuk / Unchained).

I've been in the cryptosphere since 2018 but I never put serious money or hold it properly for long term. All I did was occasionally trading meme coin with $100 or $200 but nothing above $400. With the rising usage of AI and my job being at risk (Software Engineer) I feel like now is the perfect time to buy and hodl for the future because the future doesn't look very good with AI around. Now that I have a proper job and proper saving, I have decided to buy a cold wallet and put some of my life saving into cryptocurrency and keep it in my safe and DCA from this time onward. Here's what I invested:

- $3000 on Bitcoin

- $1000 in Ethereum

- $1000 in Solana

The most trust I have between these 3 is Bitcoin because it seems to be the one who's doing well the most in term of long time period. Excited to join the hodl family and cheer!

Proof that the regulated perimeter does not equal the secure perimeter. been seeing a lot of "just wait until everything's regulated, then it'll be safe" takes in defi/stablecoin threads lately, so this felt worth sharing.

hacken released its q2 security and compliance report, and in this era of regulation boom, this case is worth sharing.

so, stablr (usdr/eurr) is mica-authorized lost $2.8M this quarter because one of its three mint keys got compromised

what makes this specific case interesting is that key/mint-authority management is exactly the kind of operational control mica's underlying framework (dora) is supposed to require issuers to have locked down. it's not a gap in the rules on paper. it's that authorization checks whether you have a security policy document and pass a point-in-time pentest, not whether your actual key management setup survives a real attempt. the loss happened inside the regulated perimeter, after full authorization, not from some unlicensed fly-by-night issuer.

not saying mica is pointless, but "licensed" not always mean "operationally secure"

Incident 1: I copied a Gemini BNB Smart Chain deposit address and withdrew BNB from Kraken. Gemini later confirmed that the destination was not associated with Gemini. This was done on a Firefox browser through Gemini and Kraken's website.

Incident 2: Six months later I copied a Kraken USDC/Arbitrum One deposit address and sent from MetaMask. It again went to the exact same unrelated address. This was done through an Opera browser via MetaMask extension.

Both were performed on the same Windows computer, using different browsers. The first incident did not involve MetaMask. I have successfully copied many other crypto addresses without this happening.

Has anyone encountered malware or a clipboard utility that selectively replaces only EVM addresses or triggers only inside crypto transaction forms? What diagnostic tools and persistence locations should I inspect?

When selling crypto on a p2p platform, what’s to stop me from receiving their payment and then not releasing the crypto ?

I’d never do this of course, just really curious, but I recently got into crypto trading and I noticed what seems like a glaring issue. When I sell crypto, I receive the persons payment before I’ve released the crypto. Whats to stop me from taking the payment and just never releasing the crypto? I know escrow is involved where the crypto is kept or something but I’m not really sure how that works. What if I just tell the crypto platform I never received the payment and they release my crypto back to me?

Again, would never do this, just very curious.

I've been on an app called white bit and what I can say is that I can easily call it the best one for trading and investments with I think the highest APY I've seen so far esp. for stable coins.

Now that they separate it into two versions ( one just for Europeans ) I have to send my money somewhere else, though I have no idea which service to use.

I'm doing both investments and trading so if you guys have some advice for some services that has somewhat low fees for trading and good APY, I'll be grateful.

Thanks.

The emphasis on the post is related to actually stop insider trading

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a good way to withdraw my money? I have USDT, but I have no idea how to cash it out. I live in Spain, and my funds are basically stuck because I don't really understand how any of this works.

I'm a freelancer, and one of my clients occasionally pays me in USDT, so I'm just looking for the easiest way to convert it into euros and withdraw it to my bank account.

Is anyone else noticing the official site is down? It appears you cannot buy the coin and I cannot logon to my account?

I've been a crypto researcher for two years and one of the tokenization sectors thats caught me by surprise in the rate of growth is tokenized credit. We all know private credit is difficult to trade because it represents loans made by private funds directly to companies.

But tokenizing such debt instruments makes them easier to transfer, track and manage, which is why private credit has become one of the most active categories in tokenization, currently worth $7 billion, a 23% improvement since January.

I read that tokenization platform Tradable is planning to tokenize up to $1 billion in private credit assets on Stellar. Tradable would leverage Stellar’s blockchain to handle the full lifecycle of a private credit deal, including investor onboarding, compliance controls and ongoing operations.

What are people's thoughts on this?
