🇺🇸🇨🇵 After the Tariff Threats Emmanuel Macron responds again to Donald Trump:
"No intimidation or threat will influence us whether in Ukraine, Greenland, or elsewhere in the world. The threats of tariffs are unacceptable and have no place in this context.
Europeans will react in a united and coordinated manner if such threats materialize. We will ensure that Europe's sovereignty is respected.
It is in this spirit that I will speak with our European partners."
The company behind the BitBox hard wallet claims to have detected 2 critical vulnerabilities in its wallet and urges users to install the new update as quickly as possible, named
<< Dixence >> in which these two vulnerabilities have already been fixed.
If you’re affected, I advise you to hurry up! because lately, you shouldn’t trust anyone if possible—also, even move your funds to other wallets!
Finally, what are we going to turn to to keep our crypto? 🤣
THE BOND MARKET SURGES AFTER THE U.S. TREASURY ANNOUNCEMENT
What actually happened? The U.S. Treasury announced that it would double the size of its long-term bond buybacks, increasing from a maximum of $2 to $4 billion per transaction starting September 9. Why such a measure? The U.S. bond market is going through a difficult period. These buybacks will allow the government to remove from the market bonds that have become less liquid. They offer investors the opportunity to get rid of these bonds.
While the #CLARITYAct is half-dead, the SEC, as promised, has filed a proposal for laws to regulate crypto-assets in the USA.
Here’s what to mainly take away:
The #SEC is intended to allow certain startups to raise funds up to $75M without having to follow all the usual registration procedures, as long as they meet the conditions set out.
The #SEC. also provides for creating another framework called << Safe Harbor >>.
The goal would be to allow certain crypto-assets not to be directly considered securities, provided that they meet the criteria laid out in the framework.
N.B: for now, this is only a proposed law. Nothing has been definitively adopted yet.
Do you think it will be the SEC that sets the rules?
P.S.: I think the SEC won’t be able to take over and set the rules regarding crypto-asset regulation because, generally, these law proposals are analyzed over periods of 12 to 18 months, and during that time the CLARITYAct will surely be adopted 🫡.
Krackpot’s developer launches a lottery that puts GPU computing power to the test to solve a puzzle: finding a hidden private key in a search space of 2^70—about sextillions of possibilities!
Anyone can take part; just go to the lottery site and click Start, then WebGPU (a technology that lets a website use your computer’s graphics card power directly from your browser) activates and the machine starts running.
Krackpot nonetheless claims that an RTX 4070 tests about 44 million keys per second, which translates to a median of 430,000 years to scan the entire space. A RTX 3070 clocks in at 830,000 years, and a MacBook Air M1 tops 3M years 😂
In other words, a single machine has no chance of winning. However, if 1M of GPUs ran in parallel, the median would drop to about 1 year.
P.S.: I think that within a month there will already be a winner 🥱
🇺🇲 🇮🇷 🇶🇦 🇯🇴 🇸🇦 Iran plans new attacks aimed at escalation against Gulf states if fighting resumes.
Among the options being considered are sabotage of internet cables in the Persian Gulf, inciting unrest among the Shia populations of Gulf countries, and possibly ground operations against Kuwait.

🇨🇳 🇺🇲 The AI war between the USA and China is already taking a different turn!
In fact, the Americans are asking the 35 signatory countries of the AI Opportunity Statement to choose their side in the global battle to dominate AI.
Washington warns in particular that countries that join in parallel with the Chinese could be excluded from PAX Silica ( 😂), which is the American alliance around semiconductors, AI, and critical minerals.
Galaxie lowers the CLARITYAct adoption probability to 10% before the end of 2026, due to unresolved issues and a Senate schedule that is too tight.
If <b>#CLARITYAct </b> is not adopted, then the SEC will take over, and you know the story of <b>#SEC </b> with crypto 🤧
No question, if this bill is not passed, I think I'm going to sell everything I hold, <b>$XRP </b>, because I believe it will be the project that suffers the most!
How to check if your wallet is vulnerable to a quantum attack
It’s true that the risk is still purely theoretical, but the threat is nevertheless there. So it’s best not to take it lightly. BitGo’s Quantum Resistance Score That’s why BitGo offers a tool called Quantum Resistance Score that allows you to check your address and tell you whether it’s vulnerable or not. A score of 100% means that no public key is exposed on the blockchain and therefore cannot be a target for the Shor algorithm. For those who don’t know, quantum machines would be equipped with an algorithm called Short capable of determining a private key from its public key and therefore gaining access to the corresponding wallet.
Arthur Hayes asserts that the bursting of the speculative AI bubble linked to AI could ultimately work in favor of $BTC
According to him, if this bubble were to burst, governments would be forced to massively inject liquidity into financial markets, some of which could then flow into Bitcoin!
How do you get to have a mindset like these people?
Or do you need to hold a certain amount of money to start thinking like that?
A Trader victim of phishing loses $550,000 by making transactions on a fake site #Hyperliquid shown on Google !

This type of advertising scam is becoming more and more common on #Google , where several fake platforms are highlighted. tu
The best way to avoid this kind of drama is to :
--> Obtain the official URL of the website you’re looking for from reliable sources like #CryptoQuant , #CMC , etc... and avoid going directly through Google search.
The American branch of KPMG will conduct a complete audit of Tether’s financial statements. This reassures many investors who had doubts about the company’s reserves actually existing.
Indeed, since the creation of USDT, Tether only provided documents attesting to the existence of these reserves, which did not reassure some investors.
