DeCenter – Blockchain and Bitcoin

🗽 After the failure of CLARITY Act in the Senate, SEC and CFTC decided not to wait for Congress and are preparing their own rules for the crypto market within the framework of existing powers. The heads of both regulators explicitly stated that they want to give the market more certainty even without a new law. @DeCenterOrg

Day's results, 16 сентября 🍿 Clarity Act DID NOT gather the necessary 60 votes to move to the next stage. The bill is put on hold. 🇷🇺 Moscow Exchange launches perpetual futures on cryptocurrency indices on September 22. ☠️ A trader lost around $600,000 due to a fake Cloudflare captcha — a phishing page made him launch a malicious file with administrator privileges, after which scammers accessed crypto assets on the computer. ✖️ On X, quick access to trading stocks and crypto was launched directly from Cashtag — you click on the ticker, see the chart and the Trade button. 🪙 Circle launched Arc mainnet — the network already accepts transactions, and in the first two hours over $370 million USDC was deposited into it. 🇩🇪 German banking giant Deutsche Bank with assets of around $1.7 trillion enters cryptocurrency custody for institutional clients. 🦅 The Central Bank of Russia suggests that financial bloggers first self-organize and create a "whitelist" of conscientious authors, and only then move to stricter rules. 🚬 Justin Nobel Sun decided to establish his own Justin Sun Prize — awards will be given for solving complex mathematical problems and formalizing them in a way that proofs can be machine-verifiable. 🪙 Bitcoin accounts for only 0.5% of global financial assets — about $1.6 trillion out of $342 trillion. For scale, stocks — $154 trillion, bonds — $143 trillion, gold — $31 trillion. 🇷🇺 In Russia, they want to prohibit energy companies from entering mining themselves — The FAS prepared a bill which will deprive generating companies of the right to be operators of mining infrastructure.

🇺🇸 The Fed rate was raised for the first time this year — from 3.75% to 4%. @DeCenterOrg

☠️ Trader lost approximately $600,000 due to a fake CAPTCHA Cloudflare — a phishing page tricked him into launching a malicious file with administrator privileges, after which scammers gained access to crypto assets on the computer. The phishing link was hidden in the token's metadata, which are automatically pulled by aggregators like DexScreener. @DeCenterOrg

🪙 Bitcoin accounts for only 0.5% of global financial assets — about $1.6 trillion out of $342 trillion. For perspective, stocks — $154 trillion, bonds — $143 trillion, gold — $31 trillion. @DeCenterOrg

🚬 Justin Nobel Sun decided to establish his own Justin Sun Prize — awards will be given for solving complex mathematical problems and formalizing them so that proofs can be machine-verified. According to the founder of Tron, without mathematics, there would be no blockchains or a multi-trillion dollar crypto market — now he wants to specifically fund those who advance this foundation further. @DeCenterOrg

🦅 Central Bank of the Russian Federation suggests for financial bloggers to first self-organize and create a "white list" of conscientious authors, and only then move on to stricter rules. According to the regulator itself, 80% of discussion participants supported the regulation of anonymous Telegram channels, and almost all — the mandatory disclosure of conflicts of interest and paid affiliations. @DeCenterOrg

🇷🇺 Moscow Exchange launches perpetual futures on cryptocurrency indices on September 22. @DeCenterOrg

🪙 Circle launched the Arc mainnet — the network is already accepting transactions, and in the first two hours, over $370 million USDC were moved into it. While the infrastructure is still raw — liquidity is low, and spreads and slippage can be noticeable. @DeCenterOrg

✖️ In X, they launched quick access to stock and crypto trading directly from Cashtag — you tap on a ticker, see a chart, and a Trade button. The trade goes through partners — including Interactive Brokers, Gemini, Kraken, and Coinbase, for now, the feature only works in the US. @DeCenterOrg

🔮 Markets gamblers forecasts continue to grow — weekly trading volume, excluding sports, has for the first time reached $10 billion. In just a month and a half, it has increased almost fourfold, and on September 12–13, platforms updated the daily record — up to $3.1 billion. @DeCenterOrg

🤣 A hacker tried to steal $7,800,000, but ended up with nothing — his transaction was noticed by an MEV bot and performed the same attack earlier, taking almost the entire amount. Now Kelp DAO has frozen the bot's address, and the money has still not been returned to the wallet owner. @DeCenterOrg

🏦 Crypto exchanges are gradually turning into banks — adding cards, payments, loans, tokenized assets, and more and more checks. But if the task is much simpler — to exchange crypto and receive rubles via SBP or a bank, it's not necessary to move money through a full-fledged exchange account. For such a scenario there is Bananex — you choose the exchange direction, send crypto, and receive fiat in a convenient way. It works via website and Telegram bot. ✈️ News and updates — Bananex News

🇰🇿 Kazakhstan wants to use associated petroleum gas from oil fields for cryptocurrency mining — instead of flaring, it will be converted into electricity directly on site. Under the program, miners will have to give the state 10% of the mined crypto. It was previously reported that Binance wants to make Kazakhstan a settlement hub for CIS countries. @DeCenterOrg

🦊 MetaMask will automatically intervene in suspicious transactions — if after confirmation, the smart contract attempts to execute something other than what the wallet showed in the preview, the operation will automatically roll back. Additionally, the wallet warns about address spoofing and transfers to new recipients, and now separately recognizes signs of investment and romance scam schemes right before sending funds. @DeCenterOrg
