After the failure of an attempt to launder more than 50 million dollars via NEAR Intents, they sent about 2,746 ZEC, nearly 3.9 million dollars, into the protected Ironwood pool of Zcash.

Hedera's token surged nearly 30% on Monday and Tuesday, hitting its highest point since January, before retreating on Wednesday.

OpenAI is already preparing a new massive financial operation. The company is reportedly looking to raise at least $30 billion from investors, with a target valuation close to $1.4 trillion.

MiCA has been fully applicable since July 1, 2026: any crypto platform serving European clients must be licensed under penalty of illegality. But the regulation stops at the door of decentralized finance (DeFi). A user of Uniswap or Aave is not protected by any of its rules and does not always know it. The European framework is now the only one in force. But MiCA does not regulate decentralized finance (DeFi), and this boundary was intentionally drawn by the regulation.

Bitcoin continues, in my opinion, to show a generally positive structure, even though the market remains very volatile. After the recent rise, I would not be surprised to see BTC correct further before resuming. A drop towards the 82,000-79,000 dollar zone remains quite possible and, in my eyes, this would not mean that the bullish trend is over.

This Tuesday, Aave posts the best DeFi rise! Its founder, Stani Kulechov, envisions a crypto token burn in Aavenomics 3.0, and buyers have seized on it. Meanwhile, the US 10-year yield remains very high and DeFi still progresses. Here are the key figures.
