💰 In 2025, hackers stole $3.4 billion in cryptocurrency — nearly 70% of total losses came from just three major incidents, including a $1.5 billion hack of the Bybit exchange.

The biggest threat remains North Korean hackers, who took $2 billion in 2025 alone, bringing their total haul since 2022 to $6.75 billion.

🗽 The US is developing a rule that would exempt small stablecoin payments of up to $200 from taxes, like regular purchases.

And they want to impose taxes on mining only when the income is actually sold or converted into cash, rather than immediately.

📊 VanEck points to the largest monthly drop in BTC's hashrate since April 2024, which may indicate miner capitulation.

🖥 In Hood County, Texas, a years-long conflict between residents and the mining company MARA over constant industrial noise has moved into the courts — residents complain of health problems and declining property values, while the company insists its operations are legal and economically beneficial to the region.

An attempt by locals to gain city status and impose strict noise regulations failed in a vote.

The situation highlights the hidden social costs of the rapid growth of crypto mining in the U.S.

🐳 During bull markets, venture investors often overvalue crypto projects, driven by hype and excitement.

When sentiment cools, these projects face a “reality check,” with market caps falling far below prior private valuations.

The recent crypto downturn has clearly exposed the gap between VC valuations and actual market prices.

☠️ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged three purported crypto trading platforms and four “investment clubs” with an online fraud scheme that allegedly cost investors more than $14 million.

The scheme relied on social media ads and WhatsApp groups with supposed “experts,” directing victims to fake platforms where withdrawals were blocked under the pretext of additional fees.

According to the SEC, no real trading took place, and the funds were siphoned abroad through bank accounts and crypto wallets.

🎲 2025 marked a turning point for the crypto derivatives market, shifting from retail-driven speculation to an institutional model built around ETFs, regulated infrastructure, and on-chain solutions.

Institutional capital became the primary growth driver, while Bitcoin increasingly behaved as a high-risk asset, culminating in the largest liquidation event in October with over $19 billion wiped out in a single day.

With total derivatives trading volume reaching $85.7 trillion, the market has matured, but high leverage and liquidity concentration continue to pose systemic risks heading into 2026.
