🇷🇺 Russian officials reported that, according to the bill, Russians will be able to continue using crypto wallets in foreign services, but all operations will need to be reported to the Federal Tax Service (FTS).

🇵🇱 Polish crypto exchange Zondacrypto, which previously **announced** the loss of access to a wallet with 4,503 BTC, may be under the control of the "Tambov" organized crime group — in 2018, representatives of the group acquired a controlling stake in the exchange, which at that time was called BitBay.

After privatization, the platform changed its name to Zondacrypto, and about €18 million were transferred from the company's accounts to another exchange — the prosecutor's office opened a criminal case on fraud and money laundering, and more than 30,000 people could have suffered from the exchange's activities.

🇨🇿 The head of the Czech Central Bank supported the idea of adding BTC to central banks' strategic reserves, although he admitted that for the regulator, it is still an unusual and risky asset.

According to the bank's research, even 1% of Bitcoin in a portfolio can increase expected returns without a noticeable increase in overall risk due to low correlation with traditional assets.

Currently, the Czech Central Bank is already testing a small BTC portfolio over a two-year horizon.

According to Binance, this shift toward practical application could increase crypto's user base to 2 billion by 2030.

⛽️ MARA, the largest U.S. miner, buys energy company Long Ridge for $1.5 billion to get its own 505 MW gas power plant in Ohio.

On this basis, the company wants to build not only mining operations, but also a digital infrastructure center for AI and IT clients — meaning it transforms from a miner into an energy player.
