🇺🇸 Donald Trump demands an «oil blockade» of Russia from NATO.

Trump said that the United States will impose new sanctions against the Russian Federation only if all NATO countries do the same and completely stop purchasing Russian oil.

He demanded:
⊹ Complete abandonment of the alliance from Russian oil.
⊹ Tariffs 50-100% on Chinese imports.
⊹ Tightening of sanctions as a «single bloc».

But the condition looks impossible: the largest buyers of Russian oil in NATO, Turkey and Hungary, are not ready to refuse supplies. At the same time, part of Europe still depends on Russian gas.

Risk - aggressive pressure on Russian oil can raise world prices, which will also affect Western economies.

📍 #ETH The Ethereum Foundation has published a privacy roadmap for 2025 (original)

Three key areas:

1. Private records - so that transactions can be made without disclosing details.

2. Private reading - access to data without disclosure of identity or intentions.

3. Private evidence - fast and affordable zero-knowledge proofs on any device.

What is being prepared right now:

➤ PlasmaFold (L2 blockchain with private transfers), launch is expected on Devconnect on November 17 in Argentina.

➤ Report «State of private voting 2025».

➤ Confidential DeFi: protocols that combine privacy and regulatory requirements.

➤ Private RPCs that protect users from IP leaks and their online interests.

➤ «Prove anywhere» initiative - generation of zk-proofs directly on users’ devices.

The goal is to make private operations in Ethereum massive, inexpensive and compatible with the requirements of the ecosystem and regulators.

🚫 Is the Qubic mining pool attacking Monero again?

The reorganization of 18 blocks has been recorded in the Monero network. ~117 transactions have become invalid.

CEO SlowMist: As long as the Monero community ignores the problem of reorganization, the network remains under constant threat of attacks. To do this, you don’t even need to strictly exceed 51% of the hashrate.

🧐 #DOT Polkadot changes tokenomics.

Polkadot DAO voted to limit the total DOT supply to 2,100,000,000 tokens.

Previously, the emission was unlimited - 120,000,000 DOT was issued every year.

According to the old model, by 2040 there would be 3,400,000,000 tokens in circulation.

😏 SEC is changing the approach to the crypt.

SEC head Paul Atkins said that now the commission will start warning the company about technical violations, and not «break into their door» with aggressive inspections.

In addition, Atkins believes that most tokens are not securities, and the new rules should allow investors to trade tokenized stocks and bonds around the clock on the blockchain.

🇮🇱 The Israeli authorities have frozen 187 crypto wallets associated with Iran.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced the blocking of 187 addresses, through which $1,500,000,000 passed in #USDT.

At the time of confiscation, only $1,500,000 remained on the wallets, but the authorities believe that they were actively used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC).

Tether has already put 39 addresses on the «black list».

Earlier:

⊹ The United States confiscated ~$585,000 USDT from an Iranian associated with the IRGC drone program.

⊹ In 2024, Washington froze $332,000,000, which was sent to the Houthis in Yemen through the IRGC.

⊹ Hackers Gonjeshke Darande withdrew $90,000,000 from the Iranian exchange Nobitex, accusing it of links with the IRGC.

🐂 #ETH Ethereum forecast from Citigroup:

◽️Bullish scenario: $6400 by the end of the year.

◽️Base scenario: $4,300 by the end of the year.

◽️Bear scenario: $2200 by the end of the year.

Key theses:

• Network activity remains the main driver of ETH assessment, but growth mainly goes to L2, where the value for the base layer of Ethereum is doubtful.

• The bank believes that only 30% of L2 activity is reflected in the price of ETH.

• Ethereum can be supported by tokenization, stablecoins and inflows to ETFs.

• ETF inflows are smaller than BTC, but more efficient by the dollar. However, they are limited due to the lower capitalization and recognition of ETH.

@Сryptoz ₿

🟢 The inflow of capital to American crypto-ETFs continues:

▪Bitcoin ETF: +$2,603,000,000 for 6 trading days (SV)
▪Ethereum ETF (#ETH): +$1,094,000,000 for 5 trading days.

🇺🇸The U.S. Congress started talking about banning CBDC again.

Republicans in the House of Representatives want to «sew» a clause to the bill on the market structure on the prohibition of the digital dollar from the Fed.

In July, the House had already adopted a separate Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, but now it is proposed to be merged with the CLARITY bill.

If the document passes, it will go to the Senate, where Republicans promote their version - the Responsible Financial Innovation Act.

Senator Cynthia Lammis is confident that by the end of September the bill will be adopted by the committee and may become law as early as 2026.
