Crypto Emergency

In 2026, Wildberries warehouses are caught fire one after another due to attacks by drones. Kotovsk, Elektrostal, Shushary, Utkina Zavod, Ryazan. The damage is colossal. And Ozon, the main competitor, remains untouched. Coincidence? Or is there something behind it?
Let’s calmly figure it out.
Let’s start with the main thing—who actually owns these companies. Because without that, this conversation won’t go anywhere.

Moscow, July 29, 2026. The Federal Security Service of Russia initiated a procedure to declare Telegram founder Pavel Durov wanted internationally.
As the agency said, he has been charged in absentia under Part 1.1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Assistance to terrorist activities”). The reason was the use of the messenger by Ukrainian special services to coordinate sabotage. In particular, through the bot “DaiVinchik/Leo,” minors were recruited for arson and attacks — since July 2025, 46 people have been detained.

The world is developing right now as if we’re living in two completely different universes at the same time. In one—there are wars, political confrontations, global instability, hostility between countries and peoples. In the other—there is the rapid, almost uncontrollable development of artificial intelligence, which most people simply prefer not to notice. Or pretend not to notice. But those who are truly inside this process have been sounding the alarm for a long time.

Earlier, profit had to be returned to the owner. Now — no. Oil can be stored in the EU, handled under your own rules, and sold calmly.
In essence — a legalized seizure of cargo. Piracy of the 21st century, only in euro ties.
And now look: Russia is passing laws on cryptocurrency, collecting everything in depositories, into centralized wallets. And the West has already shown how their logic works — “we found it, so it’s ours.”

«The US crypto sector provides 34,000 jobs and brings the US $55 billion a year. The Russian crypto sector will ensure occupancy of remand prisons and bring in billions of rubles in illicit turnover»
This meme is flying around all Telegram channels right now. And you know what the scariest part is? It’s not a joke. It absolutely accurately reflects what will happen to us. While Americans calculate profits and jobs, we’ll be calculating how many new articles of the Criminal Code to write and who to sentence with time served.

Until recently, this instrument was virtually unknown, and today ETF TradFi Perpetuals are becoming an important part of the market for derivatives. In the first seven months of 2026, the total trading volume has already exceeded $116 billion, and the average month-over-month growth was 170%.
Binance is taking a leading position in this segment:

He says: legalizing crypto is cool, to protect people. But then he remembers students who lost money on crypto and is happy that the new law will “cool their hot heads.” Strange concern, isn’t it?
And now he “hears the voices of investors” and advises them to run to real estate and shares of the Russian Federation.

The CEC published the declarations of candidates for the State Duma from the “United Russia” party. I’m simply sharing the figures provided by the CEC, without any extra commentary:
· Leonid Simanovsky (co-owner of NOVATEK, Forbes list) — earned 5.96 billion rubles; in accounts — 17.5 billion.
· Ivan Yegorov (head of Ak Bars) — 673.9 million rubles.

While Europe, Vietnam, and Russia try to find ways to control cryptocurrencies (in Russia, for example, a bill on a digital currency is currently going through its second and third readings, and in Vietnam, since September, unlicensed platforms have been threatened with fines), Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin simply creates tools that render those laws powerless. His new project—a demo version of an anonymous classifieds board on the Aztec blockchain, built using vibe-coding—is not just a technical demonstration. It’s a challenge that changes the rules of the game. Buterin clearly shows that decentralized and private services are already here, and you can’t stop them.
