📊 Renowned financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin compared the current market to the period before the 1929 crash.

🐹 Bitcoin could drop to $53,600 — this is the average purchase price level for all coins in the network, — analysts at CryptoQuant believe.

☠️ Another Russian woman believed in profitable crypto investments from social networks and gave scammers 1,250,000 rubles — all her savings.

She was promised high income, but instead of dividends, all that remained was a criminal case under the article on fraud and a classic lesson — if you are guaranteed profit in crypto, the profit is almost certainly not yours 🚬

Earlier, we wrote that a 46-year-old Russian woman met a man on a dating app who convinced her to "earn on crypto" — as a result, the woman lost 6,300,000 rubles.

🇬🇪 In Georgia, an AudiA6 crypto-laundromat was shut down, through which since 2022 about 10,333 BTC ($400 million) linked to cybercrime and the darknet could have been laundered.

The scheme charged a 3–10% commission for cleaning funds, and among those detained are Russian Alexander Ledenev and Ukrainian Ruslan Tkachuk; the US is already preparing an extradition request for them.

📉 In the second quarter of 2026, the ICO/IDO/IEO market in crypto almost died — only $58 million was raised through public sales — 85% less than the previous quarter.

The number of launches also collapsed from 105 to 37, and May became the worst month since 2020 — with only 13 token sales.

All liquidity was apparently taken by the American stock market.

⚡️Anthropic disables access to Claude Mythos and Fable 5 for all users.
