Imagine a midnight rooftop kitchen where the cooks steal not only recipes but the secret sauce proteins. That’s the scene of a North Korean‑linked hacking campaign that has eaten away at multiple cryptocurrency platforms, staking services, and exchange software vendors. The attack turned the entire crypto supply chain into a dimly lit buffet of rotted data.
While the crypto market’s slower than a goldfish on Valium, XRP’s burn activity spiked 27% like it’s trying to set fire to its own problems. CryptoQuant says so-trust ’em, they’re experts in making numbers sound exciting.
The winds of institutional curiosity have picked up again, swirling around Strategy’s relentless hoarding of bitcoin. Saylor, the executive chairman with a penchant for grand gestures, posted a chart on the social media platform X, a map of his company’s odyssey through the treacherous valleys and peaks of the bitcoin market. The chart, marked with orange flags of conquest, tells a story of persistence, greed, or perhaps genius-depending on who you ask.
It all started with the “21st Century ROAD to Housing Act,” a 300-page snooze-fest that somehow became the Beyoncé of legislation this week. Tucked inside (like a hidden calorie in a “healthy” smoothie) was an amendment to the Federal Reserve Act. The twist? It only bans the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) until 2031. Gasp! The horror!
South Korean financial regulators are likely to exclude US dollar-based stablecoins like USDC and USDT from the types of digital assets companies can hold, according to a report in Herald Economy.
The dispute revolves around the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a Senate proposal that slaps a 10-year moratorium on the Federal Reserve’s CBDC plans. But the Republicans, ever the champions of fiscal freedom, insist that 10 years is too short for a system that could, you know, exist.
The grand unveiling targets a time-honored inefficiency in crypto prime brokerage: the need for separate collateral pools, a bureaucratic nightmare even Kafka might’ve nodded to. Now, traders can pledge their entire account balance as collateral across futures and spot positions, like a financial jester balancing on a unicycle while juggling flaming swords.
February 2026 was a really tough month for me and a lot of other crypto investors. I watched as miners dumped a huge amount of Bitcoin – over 6,100 BTC in just one month, which was the biggest sell-off we’d seen. Cango, for example, sold off about 60% of their Bitcoin holdings – over 4,400 BTC! Bitdeer actually sold *all* of their Bitcoin by early 2026. Core Scientific, which used to hold nearly 10,000 BTC, was down to around 630 by March 2026 after they raised $175 million through sales. Even Riot Platforms had to sell about four times their usual monthly mining output in December 2025 just to stay afloat and fund acquisitions. It was a pretty scary time to be holding BTC.
As a result, Solana [SOL] could be a winner. AMBCrypto recently argued that its fast network and robust blockchain infrastructure would allow it to grab a large share of the tokenization volume. Because nothing says “success” like being faster than a snail on a treadmill.
A negative netflow, you say? Why, it’s the darling indicator of growing demand, of course! And what a relief it brings to our market participants, after days of this meme token’s bearish tantrums. The metric, my friends, is a beacon of hope in a sea of red.
