The Sherlock Holmes team over at LookonChain says some mysterious trader—definitely not your cousin who refused to Venmo you $8—turned $8,191 into $4 million. It took this person a mere 22 days. Because apparently, “get rich quick” isn’t just a scam on daytime TV now; it’s real, and you missed it. Sorry, Nana. 🤷♀️
Behold! P2P.org graces the IOTA network as a Genesis Validator for the freshly launched IOTA Rebased mainnet. 🧐

According to Hayes, while most people are moon-gazing for ETFs and institutional cavalry charging in, the real plot twist is something altogether more sinister: capital controls. Yes, that’s right—the kind of financial wizardry that makes foreign investors rethink their life choices and start shopping for gold… or, for those with a taste for the digital, Bitcoin.
Brian Armstrong—whose scalp is probably shining with delight under those harsh boardroom lights—stood up and said, “We’re very happy to be included in the S&P 500. It now means that crypto is here to stay.” He might’ve said it while polishing his boots, or maybe tossing a bitcoin into a spittoon—hard to say with CEOs these days. 🤠

Kyiv, choking on war’s fumes and counting pennies as if they were poppy seeds, now grabs technology by the lapels—ready to lead the charge for “State Crypto Reserve #1.” Why not, comrade? At this point, what’s left to lose—besides maybe the password? 🫠
The Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (which surely must make fantastic business cards) rolled out this shiny gizmo on a Wednesday, which is statistically the most menacing day to launch a tool designed to make crypto crooks sweat. CryptoTrace was built in cahoots with the University of Hong Kong and went public at the Blockchain Security Summit 2025. The tool’s job: give police “advanced intelligence and investigative support”—or in plain English, help them Google bad guys, but, you know, professionally.
Allow me to set the scene. The Hashling NFT project, that glittering bauble of digital dreams, has left its investors not so much rich as richly aggrieved. Their erstwhile chum, Jonathan Mills—let’s call him Captain Coin—allegedly absconded with untold millions and the sort of chutzpah not seen since the last family game of Monopoly turned sour.
