@ETHIndiaco kicked your amigo out. Elitist gatekeeping has to stop. Help us in the fight against this high and mighty behaviour💪🏻

El Salvador, while most people were debating Bitcoin, just kept buying. 1 BTC a day since November 2022. Around 7,670 BTC and counting 🇸🇻

@coinbase is officially making crypto onboarding easier in India 🇮🇳 Users can now deposit and withdraw INR directly via IMPS bank transfers, eliminating the need for P2P routes and intermediaries. The exchange is also rolling out local INR liquidity, spot trading, and perpetual futures as it ramps up its expansion in India.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕 How much pizza 1 BTC could buy over time!

🇮🇳 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.

🚨 Saylor's hinting at another BTC buy Strategy now holds 815,061 BTC, worth $63.6 B. With BTC back near $78K, their average buy price ($75.5K) is back in profit 📈 Their buying is outpacing newly mined supply 3x... supply shock incoming?

148A notices are being sent to crypto traders in India for FY 2021–22 trades Govt is using exchange data to estimate your income Mismatch with your filings? That’s where things get tricky 👀

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.

@Strategy just bought another 1,031 BTC for $76.6M at an average price of $74.3K. Total holdings now at 762,099 BTC with a cost basis of ~$57.7B. At the same time, they’ve unveiled a $42B capital plan to keep buying more, split between $21B in common stock and $21B in STRC preferred stock. They’re not slowing down, they’re just getting started.

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.

@Metaplanet raised $255M (up to $531M) to buy more Bitcoin. Here’s the twist: • Investors get warrants (rights to buy more shares later) • They can only use them if the stock trades above its BTC value → so dilution only happens if it adds value They’ve paused older warrants to avoid extra dilution. End goal: build a 210,000 BTC treasury 👀

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. 🌍
