🚓 A Russian decided to "top up his crypto wallet with cash" via a courier and lost 2,500,000 rubles — he took the money on credit, mortgaging his apartment.

The scheme began classically — a girl from a dating site, stories about easy money on a new crypto exchange, and an "investor-consultant", after which the crypto never appeared in the account, but a police report did.

🤖 Visa together with Alchemy launched AgentCard — a virtual card for AI agents, so that bots can independently pay for goods and services in the real world.

Essentially, AI receives a Visa payment token, a wallet, email, and spending limits — meaning it doesn't just "think," but can already act as a separate digital user.

🇸🇪 In Sweden is launching its own stablecoin SEKAU, pegged to the Swedish krona and issued under the rules of European crypto regulation MiCA.

🤖 Changpeng Zhao believes that the main risk of the future is not crypto, but artificial intelligence — unlike digital assets, AI can affect civilization much more severely.

At the same time, CZ still believes in the four-year Bitcoin cycle, does not see systemic risks of the Luna and FTX level in the market and expects the merger of crypto with traditional finance.

Separately, he noted that AI agents will most likely use cryptocurrency for payments, because regular banking infrastructure is too cumbersome for them.

😂 The most karmic hack of the week — the famous MEV bot JaredFromSubway, which for years profited from sandwich attacks on Ethereum, itself fell for a bait and lost over $15,000,000.

Anons slipped him fake "profitable" deals, the bot automatically granted approvals to malicious contracts — and his WETH, USDC, and USDT were simply taken via transferFrom.

📉 MSUSD stablecoin lost its peg due to panic around reserves — the company that verified the stablecoin's backing refused to continue working with it.

Project representatives claim that the money is in place and the stablecoin is backed, and the problem is only in the loss of external confirmation.
