JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls for an end to mass KYC data collection, warning that centralized databases put crypto holders at risk of phishing, leaks, and physical attacks.
She says zero-knowledge proofs could verify regulatory requirements without forcing users to expose their names, income or addresses.
Is $ETH Breaking Its All-Time High This Year? Tom Lee Isn't Mincing Words.
Bit Mine chairman Tom Lee just dropped a bold call on Coinage: ETH can "absolutely" hit a new all-time high this year.
His logic isn't complicated:
Near term target is $3,000, and then well above $5,000 to follow. Keep in mind ETH's previous peak was around $4,800–5,000 back in 2021. What he's saying is clear that high isn't a ceiling, it's a signpost.
Here's the interesting part: he pointed out that ETH ran from $1,500 to $2,800 and the market was almost silent. He said he actually heard about a lot of big players losing serious money shorting that move. What does that tell you? Positioning hasn't caught up. A lot of people missed the boat.
So what's he betting on? Tokenization.
Robinhood put tokenized stocks on an Ethereum L2, and Lee says it's not about cutting costs it's because Ethereum is the safest and most liquid. In his words, Robinhood didn't pick Ethereum to fight over fees, they made that call after serious evaluation.
Add in the AI narrative he keeps pushing AI agents making high frequency micro payments in the future, where traditional payment rails with all their middlemen and fees just can't work. On-chain settlement is the answer.
Now to be fair: Lee is the chairman of Bit Mine and Bit Mine holds millions of ETH. He's one of the biggest stakeholders in this trade. How much of this is conviction and how much is his bag you decide.
But at least he's willing to say it plainly: $3,000 is reasonable near term $5,000+ is coming and a new all-time high this year is absolutely happening.
Believe it or not but the market definitely hasn't priced in his script yet. $SPCX $SOL
Just saw this — ARK Invest tokenized its $1.3 billion ARK Venture Fund directly on Ethereum, issued through Securitize.
What does this actually mean? Before, if you wanted exposure to Wood's fund holding stakes in OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and SpaceX, you had to go through the traditional brokerage route. Now you can do it on-chain, minimum $500 to get in, and it trades 24/7.
The underlying assets themselves are still private and don't go on-chain directly, but your fund shares become on-chain tokens completely different level of freedom to move in and out.
Securitize's CEO put it bluntly: if you don't know whether OpenAI or Anthropic wins, just buy both. This fund is basically a packaged AI sector play for you.
This time Wood isn't just talking about being bullish on crypto she actually moved her own product on-chain. On the traditional asset managers migrating to chain front, she's moving relatively early. $ZEC $ETH $BTC
• Automatic protection systems: The security system may detect abnormal behavior such as requesting the red envelopes at a rate that is too fast, similar to tools (bots and scripts), or logging in from a new device after a phone format or changing settings.
• Multiple accounts: Opening more than one account from the same phone or the same network to take advantage of rewards, which explicitly violates the platform’s terms of use.
• Regional restrictions: Some promotional offers and red envelopes are available only to residents of certain countries. If your account or location is outside these areas, you won’t be able to open them.Using VPN networks or proxy repositories: Constantly changing the IP address or using a proxy can cause the account to be classified as suspicious activity or as an attempt to bypass specific campaign geographic restrictions.
What is the solution?
1. Use the normal internet connection for your phone, and avoid using a VPN
2. Wait for some time (usually 24 to 48 hours), as some security restrictions are temporary and will automatically be lifted if the cause is a change in device or network.
3. If the issue is not resolved, do not request these envelopes for one month, and the issue will be resolved. $BCH $NEAR $SUI

The next luxury destination may not be another country. It may be orbit.
Private astronaut missions are growing while commercial space stations prepare for a future beyond the International #Space Station.
Today space tourism is still expensive and limited to very few people. But aviation once started the same way. The real opportunity may not be the ticket itself.
It may be everything travelers will need once more people begin living and working beyond Earth: transportation, energy, communications, food, medical services and digital infrastructure.
That is when space tourism stops being a spectacle and starts becoming an economy.
The biggest question is not when ordinary people will visit space. It is what industries will be created when thousands of people start living beyond Earth. $SPCX
The next stage may be very different.
Imagine orbital hotels.
Private research stations.
Zero gravity entertainment.
Space based manufacturing.
Trips around the Moon. #SpaceX
Perhaps one day even regular transport between Earth and permanent settlements beyond it.
The biggest opportunity may not be selling tickets.
It may be building everything those travelers will need.
Transportation. Energy. Communications. Insurance. Food. Medical services. Entertainment and digital infrastructure.
That is when space tourism stops being a spectacle and starts becoming an economy.
I do not think the most important question is when ordinary people will visit space.
The better question is:
What industries will be created when thousands of people start living and working beyond Earth?
The space tourism era may begin with wealthy passengers.
But history suggests the infrastructure built for a few can eventually reshape life for millions.
Would you take a trip to orbit if it became affordable and safe enough? $SPACE
🇨🇦 JUST IN: Canada’s banking giants are stepping deeper into tokenized money.
Six major Canadian banks — BMO, RBC, TD, Scotiabank, National Bank and CIBC — are jointly exploring a Canadian-dollar tokenized deposit solution.
The first phase aims to move tokenized deposits efficiently between financial institutions, with the broader goal of enabling faster, more efficient and programmable payments while maintaining regulatory oversight.
This is another major signal that blockchain technology is moving beyond crypto trading and into traditional financial infrastructure. The race toward tokenized banking and digital payments is clearly accelerating. 🌐 $FIL $BCH $ZEST
🇷🇺 JUST IN: Russia puts regulated crypto markets in focus.
Russia is moving deeper into the digital-asset era, with authorities making the creation of a regulated crypto market a major priority
The framework is designed to bring crypto trading under clearer rules, with regulated exchanges, intermediaries and digital-asset infrastructure becoming part of the system. This is another sign that governments are shifting from simply debating crypto to building formal rules around it.
For the global market, the bigger question is simple: will clearer regulation unlock more institutional participation and adoption?
Crypto regulation is becoming a global race. $BTC $ETH $SOL
