DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

🏦 World Sam Altman's introduced the World ID suite for banks. The company also released full deepfake verification in Zoom — the feature recognizes fake participants in video calls. Previously, World launched World Money — a financial “super app for people”, which includes stablecoins, international transfers, investments, Earn programs, and virtual accounts. @DeCenterOrg

🖥 The largest miner MARA continues to dump Bitcoin — today the company sent to Binance and Gate exchanges 1000 BTC ($83 million). @DeCenterOrg

☠️ A hacker emptied 1404 crypto wallets of the Qubic network, stealing approximately $1,300,000. The cause was an error in seed phrase generation on Apple devices — they could be predicted, allowing access to others' funds. Developers stopped the network, and the stolen tokens were successfully blocked both on the blockchain and on the MEXC exchange. @DeCenterOrg

In Russia, they have begun to actively block a scheme for earning money on crypto arbitrage — USDT was bought in CIS countries and then sold for cash in Russia. The Central Bank suspected money laundering risks, although market participants claim that with confirmed origin of funds, such transactions are formally legal. @DeCenterOrg

🪙 Michael Saylor suggested the emergence of a BTC-backed stablecoin, which would be pegged to the dollar and yield 6–8% annually to owners. For now, it's just an idea, but Saylor believes that such an instrument could seriously compete with USDT and USDC, which themselves do not pay interest to holders. @DeCenterOrg

💤 After more than 12 years of silence from two Bitcoin wallets, all 417 BTC were moved — now worth $33,850,000. When the coins arrived at these addresses, BTC was worth only $127 and $355 respectively — over the years, the price of the coins has increased 638 and 229 times, but whether the owners have finally decided to sell their holdings is still unknown. @DeCenterOrg

🪙 Circle received $1.4 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, but only $103 million remained in net profit — about 7 cents for every dollar. USDT issuer Tether's operating profit reached $1.5 billion in the second quarter alone, although a drop in the value of assets in reserves led to a total loss of about $4.2 billion. Meanwhile, Coinbase supported a competing stablecoin Open USD, which offers partners a larger share of revenue from reserves. @DeCenterOrg

🤖 Anthropic expects that by mid-2027 they will stop hiring juniors, and by mid-2028 will in fact fire those already working. All this work will go to AI bots, such changes will affect other areas in the coming years. 🎙 LIVE

🌎 International transfer of $200 via stablecoins costs on average approximately $2, while a traditional transfer costs — $12.72. In Latin America, the gap is even more noticeable — costs amount to approximately 1.25% of the transfer amount versus 5.64% for traditional money transfers. @DeCenterOrg

🚬 Major American companies have started refusing to tokenize their shares on new 24/7 platforms — among them Verizon, Broadcom and UnitedHealth. They fear that alongside the regular market, a parallel "shadow" market for tokens with separate liquidity, prices and risks for investors will emerge. @DeCenterOrg

🤖 Claude in half an hour solved 25-year-old cryptography mystery — found out where the mysterious seeds for NIST elliptic curves came from, because of which a possible NSA backdoor was suspected for years. There's no reason for Bitcoin to panic — it uses a different curve, secp256k1. @DeCenterOrg

For the first time in Russia found Ledger Nano X with a spy module inside — the device was bought on Ozon, and after disassembly, an additional board, an antenna, and a replaced battery were discovered. Since Ledger does not officially sell wallets in the Russian Federation, buyers are dependent on marketplaces and intermediaries, and it is there that infected devices are now surfacing. @DeCenterOrg

🎲 In the new trailer for GTA VI, Dacity Coin was briefly shown — and crypto gamblers immediately pumped the eponymous shitcoin by almost 3000% in a matter of minutes. The token has no relation to Rockstar, but one inscription in the frame was enough for the market. @DeCenterOrg

💸 Network School former CTO of Coinbase bought Farcaster and plans to turn it into Network State Protocol — a social network with a 'social smart contract', NFT access, and AI moderation. Users will be offered to accept blockchain rules of conduct, and over time the platform wants to confirm that the account is managed by a human, not a bot. @DeCenterOrg

☠️ Owners of Ledger are currently actively being scammed under the guise of an urgent firmware update — scammers are directing them to fake websites that almost completely copy the company's interface. After "device verification," the victim is prompted to enter their seed phrase and effectively hand over access to their wallet. @DeCenterOrg

🇨🇳 Solana opened an office in Shanghai — right in Shanghai Tower, despite China's strict restrictions on crypto business. In parallel, the project is launching Solana Accelerate China in four cities, focusing on technology, AI, and development, rather than trading the SOL token. @DeCenterOrg
