This little sum of 0.004 will be more than enough for me to feel good for the rest of my life.

🔥 Binance burned 1.65 million BNB worth $1.2 billion in its 37th quarterly token burn.

Every three months, Binance uses 20% of its profits to buy back and destroy BNB coins (by sending them to irretrievable addresses). This is done to ensure liquidity and will continue until 50% of the total supply has been depleted.

Ultimately, only 100 million BNB will remain in circulation.

Tron chief Justin Sun said he sold 90% of his ETH at $3,600–4,000.

He made the decision after an “unstable double top” formed on Ethereum’s chart.

At the same time, his Bitcoin investments remain intact.

🫡 Elon Musk says that next year he will give every new American a share of SpaceX.

Russian banks have begun cracking down on the purchase of USDT on crypto platforms in CIS countries, followed by its sale for cash rubles in Russia, RBC reports.

The Central Bank sees such transactions as carrying a high risk of money laundering involving funds of “unclear” origin.

“The classic pattern looks like this: in the morning, someone sends a couple of million to Minsk; by lunchtime, they cash out their USDT at an exchange office somewhere in Moscow City; in the evening, they deposit the cash through an ATM. If the bank doesn’t ask any questions, you can make three or four such rounds in a week,” experts explain.

🫡 The largest mining company, MARA, sold $82.8 million worth of bitcoin from its treasury.

Launched just 4 months ago, Binance’s bStocks already has достиг $1 billion in assets.

Most trading takes place when U.S. markets are closed. Traders want to trade around the clock, and more and more are turning to Binance.

bStocks are tokenized securities backed by real fiat assets, allowing you to invest in shares of Tesla, Nvidia, Google, and more directly through Binance.

This product is popular because it isn’t tied to a traditional broker or the opening hours of TradFi markets—you can invest in the same stocks as Elon Musk at any time of day or night, even with just $5 in your pocket.

Since 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto hasn’t moved a single bitcoin from the 1.1 million BTC he mined in the early days of the blockchain.

For over 15 years, the crypto has been sitting quietly in the Creator’s wallet.

Who Satoshi Nakamoto is and what he’s doing now remains unknown. In early 2011, he completely disappeared from the cryptocurrency community’s radar.

There are many theories about who he really is (Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, and so on), but none has ever been conclusively proven.

Maybe he’s no longer alive—or maybe he’s quietly living his private life right now, watching Bitcoin develop from afar.

In short: Satoshi Nakamoto remains a legend, and his money is still right where it was.
