Many users argue Qubic only caused a limited chain reorg rather than gaining control. Still, Kraken briefly halted XMR deposits, citing “security uncertainty.” Experts suggest the incident was more of a PR stunt than a real threat.

🚬 Investment bank Salomon Brothers has claimed rights to "abandoned" Bitcoin wallets by sending notifications via OP_RETURN transactions on the blockchain.

The move is based on the legal doctrine of abandonment, which treats assets untouched for 14 years as ownerless. Wallet owners have 90 days to prove ownership through a transaction or by submitting a form on the bank’s website.

The initiative has sparked controversy, as it could set a dangerous precedent for legitimizing claims to others’ assets. It remains unclear how the bank plans to access the funds if owners do not respond.

🪙 The CTO of Ripple called the XRP Ledger a fully decentralized network, despite ongoing criticism from the community.

As Schwartz explained, the key factor is not the number of validators (there are only 187), but the distribution of nodes among independent operators — according to him, Ripple supports only one of the 35 validators (less than 1% of the total network). All significant protocol changes require approval from 80% of participants.

We physically cannot block any transaction or change the rules of the game unilaterally.

🇺🇸 The SEC has simplified accounting for stablecoins in the U.S.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new guidance: some stablecoins can now be treated as cash equivalents.

🔴 Companies can report fully backed stablecoins (like USDC or USDP) on their balance sheets as “cash.”
🔴 This only applies to U.S. dollar-pegged tokens that are fully backed and redeemable for real dollars.
🔴 The tokens must be non-volatile — their price should remain stable.
