🇮🇳 India’s government reportedly described the crypto ecosystem as “HIGH RISK” in a note shared with a parliamentary panel. Officials reportedly flagged: • Money laundering via P2P channels • Terror financing concerns • Fake crypto platforms and Ponzi schemes • VPN-based transactions and tax evasion The government also revealed: • 6.45 lakh people faced TDS on crypto trades in FY23 • Only 1.39 lakh disclosed crypto income in tax filings India’s crypto regulation era just got a lot more serious.

The Fed says 1 in 10 American adults used or held crypto in 2025, up from 7% last year. Spot Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs are bringing retail investors back, and many aren’t even using exchanges anymore. The infrastructure is working.

The SEC is preparing to let stocks trade on the blockchain. Stocks like $AAPL and $TSLA could soon trade 24/7, just like crypto, under a new “innovation exemption” reportedly being prepared by the SEC. And Wall Street is already moving: • DTCC starts tokenisation trials in July • Nasdaq is building blockchain-based shares • NYSE parent ICE is expanding into tokenised equities The line between crypto and traditional finance is disappearing fast.

BREAKING: 🇮🇷 Iran reportedly launches “Hormuz Safe”, a maritime insurance platform for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The platform will use Bitcoin to settle payments and potentially bypass SWIFT and Western insurers. Reports suggest Iran sees a $10B opportunity if it captures Gulf shipping insurance demand. Feels like Bitcoin is slowly moving from a financial asset to geopolitical infrastructure.

Crypto is entering home buying. Better Home & Finance Holding Co. @coinbase Global Inc. now let you use $BTC & $USDC as collateral for a home down payment, no need to sell. Built around @FannieMae (a key part of the US mortgage system). Small shift, big signal: crypto → real-world utility.

Morgan Stanley will let institutions trade tokenized U.S. stocks & ETFs by 2026 on its internal platform. With SEC pilots backing DTCC & Nasdaq, this is bigger than one firm. Wall Street isn’t testing anymore, it’s moving on-chain.

Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager ($2.3T AUM), just launched a $100M tokenised fund on Ethereum Stellar. Here’s why this matters: • Fund ownership is now on-chain (not buried in back-office systems) • NAV is published on-chain via Chainlink • Transfers work 24/7, even across chains • Near-instant settlement, no more waiting days Tokenised RWAs are already ~ $52B and growing fast.

Crypto trading firm @blockfills has filed for Chapter 11 after halting withdrawals. A lawsuit claims the firm mixed customer crypto with company funds, leaving a $77M balance sheet shortfall. A U.S. judge has already frozen 70 BTC tied to the dispute.

Russia is fast-tracking a law to bring stablecoins into its financial system. Not for crypto trading, but for cross-border payments. A ruble pegged stablecoin called A7A5 has already been approved for overseas trade settlements, and broader rules could come into force by July 1, 2026. As sanctions tighten access to traditional banking rails, stablecoins are starting to look less like crypto tools and more like geopolitical infrastructure. 🌍

Lightning didn't just grow in 2025. It scaled. Volume jumped from $286M to $1.17B in 12 months. Nearly 4x. ⚡ Transactions actually fell from 6.6M to 5.2M. Fewer payments. Bigger size. The network is quietly maturing. Source: River Bitcoin Adoption Report 2026

Meta is planning a 2026 comeback into stablecoins 👀 After the Libra and Diem setback, it’s now working with third parties to power dollar-backed stablecoin payments across its platforms. Stripe is rumored to be a likely partner. If this goes through, stablecoins could suddenly sit in front of 3B users across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Quantum risk to Bitcoin is way overblown, according to @CoinSharesCo. Only ~10k #BTC sit in wallets that could realistically move markets if compromised. Breaking Bitcoin would need ~13 million qubits. That tech doesn’t exist today. Even optimistic timelines push this into the 2030s. Bitcoin can be upgraded if needed. Banks would likely face this risk first.
