🪙 An Ethereum ICO participant woke up after 10 years of inactivity and transferred 40 000 ETH to a new wallet.

In 2014, he purchased these coins for just $12 400 — today they’re worth about $119 500 000.

🤖 Anthropic has begun using its LLMs to identify vulnerabilities in blockchain smart contracts — and the models have already discovered an exploit that could cause roughly $4.6 million in losses.

Analysts also note that AI agents now show significant potential for use in hacking attacks within the crypto industry. In simulations of real smart-contract breaches from 2020–2025, Claude Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-5 demonstrated high effectiveness.

🪙 The Ethereum ecosystem is testing a new privacy protocol, Zero Knowledge Secret Santa (ZKSS), which uses cryptography to provide full anonymity for exchanging “gifts.”

It hides both the sender and the recipient of each transaction and could serve as a foundation for anonymous voting, private airdrops, and secure DAO governance systems.

In essence, ZKSS creates a mechanism in which all participants remain invisible to one another while the distribution process stays fair and verifiable.

🍿 An illusionist from Missouri implanted an RFID chip under his skin for magic tricks, then later reprogrammed it to store a Bitcoin address — only to forget the password.

The chip in his hand still works, but he can’t access it: it’s either weeks of password-cracking with specialized software or a surgeon extracting the “wallet” by hand.

🖥 The average cash cost to produce one Bitcoin among publicly listed miners rose to approximately $74 600 in Q2 2025.

When factoring in non-cash costs such as depreciation and stock-based compensation, the total average cost climbed to $137 800.

📊 The BTC buy-to-sell ratio across all exchanges rose to 1.17 yesterday — the highest level since January 2023, indicating clear buyer dominance.

Historically, this suggests that the current bull cycle is unlikely to be nearing its end, although risks still remain.

🦊 MetaMask has unveiled its new security layer called Transaction Shield, offering subscribers up to $10 000 per month in loss compensation for transactions the system classifies as safe.

The feature is designed to give users an additional protection guarantee, significantly reducing the risk of losses from malicious smart contracts or hidden threats.

🎅 Strategy is bracing for a crypto winter, according to CryptoQuant.

The company has suddenly shifted its tone: instead of its usual aggressive BTC accumulation, Saylor’s firm has created a $1.44 billion reserve for the first time in five years, effectively moving into defense mode.

CryptoQuant believes the market has already entered a bearish cycle, and Strategy is preparing for a prolonged sideways phase or a potential BTC decline by strengthening liquidity and allowing for hedging where it once relied solely on Bitcoin.

🗽 In 2025, three U.S. states officially established strategic crypto reserves:

🔴 New Hampshire: Up to 5% of state funds can be allocated to crypto. Only assets with a market cap above $500 billion are eligible.

🔴 Arizona: A special reserve fund was created to hold confiscated and “unclaimed” BTC.

🔴 Texas: A strategic crypto reserve was launched, allowing the state to buy and hold coins indefinitely.

Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, and several other states have introduced similar bills, but none have passed them yet.
