Strategy bought 3,273 BTC for $255 million at an average price of $77,906 per coin.

The Litecoin network carried out a block reorganization to fix the effects of a vulnerability. Litecoin reported that a zero-day flaw in the MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) allowed unpatched nodes to validate an invalid transaction, creating the possibility for attackers to freeze funds and launch a DoS attack against mining pools. The network performed a 13-block reorganization to reverse the invalid transactions, while valid transactions remained untouched. The vulnerability has been fully resolved, and the network is now operating normally.

Digital asset investment products attracted $1.2 billion last week, marking the fourth consecutive week of positive inflows. The trend likely reflects growing institutional demand.

A quantum computer has “broken” Bitcoin cryptography for the first time Researcher Giancarlo Lelli successfully recovered a 15-bit elliptic curve key using a public quantum computer. For this, he received a 1 BTC reward from Project Eleven as part of the Q-Day Prize. 🟢 This is the largest demonstration to date of a quantum attack on elliptic curve cryptography. 🟢 A variant of Shor’s algorithm was used, targeting the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), which underpins Bitcoin and many other blockchains. 🟢 The scale is still far from practical reality — Bitcoin uses 256-bit keys. Important context: 🟢 The gap between 15-bit and 256-bit keys is enormous, but it is increasingly viewed as an engineering challenge rather than a fundamental impossibility. 🟢 Estimates vary from 10,000 to 500,000 qubits for a potential attack on real-world cryptography, but such hardware capabilities do not currently exist.

Binance Wallet has launched Agentic Wallet — a specialized keyless wallet for AI agents. With it, users can grant AI agents permissions in a secure environment for trading, transfers, and asset management. The main wallet continues to operate separately.

Participants across the DeFi ecosystem have united to cover the rsETH shortfall (more than 100,000 ETH) and $195 million in bad debt on Aave after the Kelp DAO bridge exploit. Proposed measures and reserve fund contributions: 🟢 Mantle — discussing a three-year 30,000 ETH loan to Aave DAO, secured by tokens and 5% of protocol revenue. 🟢 EtherFi — plans to contribute 5,000 ETH. 🟢 Stani Kulechov, CEO of Aave — will donate 5,000 ETH from personal funds. 🟢 Lido — voting to allocate up to 2,500 stETH ($5.8 million), but only if full fundraising is achieved. Ethena, LayerZero, and Ink Foundation are also participating in the recovery effort and recapitalization of rsETH.

Tether froze nearly $335 million in USDT across two addresses on the Tron network. This is the largest freeze in the history of Tether. The funds were held in two wallets on the Tron network and were linked to sanctions evasion and fraudulent schemes. The action was carried out at the request of authorities. Overall, Tether has frozen more than $4.4 billion while cooperating with over 340 agencies across 65 countries.

H100 Group has signed an agreement to acquire two Norwegian companies — Moonshot and Never Say Die — which would reportedly increase its Bitcoin reserves to 3,500 BTC. The deal is structured as a share-for-share transaction with no cash payments, based on a “bitcoin-for-bitcoin” principle, meaning ownership stakes are determined by the amount of BTC contributed.

Satoshi Nakamoto remains the largest Bitcoin holder on the planet, with 1.12 million BTC that have not moved for 16 years. The top 15 also includes two companies (Strategy and Tether), one government (the United States), three ETFs, seven centralized exchanges, and one DeFi protocol.

Pornhub has replaced USDT with USDC for creator payouts. According to an email, the move is intended to improve payment reliability, with USDC described as a regulated stablecoin compliant with MiCA requirements. USDT has been removed from the list of payout currency options.

The total historical transaction volume of USDC has surpassed $80 trillion!

CryptoQuant analysts described the current BTC rally as speculative, since it is being driven exclusively by demand in the perpetual futures market. Meanwhile, demand in the spot market continues to decline. A similar pattern was seen in January, when the price peaked at $98,000. Accordingly, if traders begin taking profits, the risk of a correction could increase.
