‍Unsecured Satellites Pose Digital Sovereignty Risks Researchers have discovered that Geosynchronous (GEO) satellites, vital for remote internet and phone data, are broadcasting sensitive traffic unencrypted. This vulnerability allows interception of data like cellular encryption keys and SMS messages with basic consumer equipment. The findings underscore the importance of self-custody and proactive security measures, principles familiar to the crypto community. Recommendations include using VPNs, end-to-end encrypted apps, and advocating for mandatory encryption from service providers. While cost is a factor for providers, the risks of unencrypted communication are significant. This incident highlights the need for vigilance in securing all layers of digital communication for a truly free and secure internet.
‍Bhutan Adopts Ethereum for National Digital ID The Kingdom of Bhutan is pioneering a national digital identity (NDI) system on the Ethereum blockchain, enabling citizens to cryptographically prove attributes like age or residency. This move towards decentralized identity management is expected to be fully migrated by early 2026. While hailed for embracing an open architecture, concerns about privacy due to blockchain's transparency remain. Bhutan also has significant Bitcoin holdings and is exploring crypto payments.
‍California Protects Unclaimed Crypto from Forced Sale California has enacted Senate Bill 822, becoming the first state to shield unclaimed cryptocurrency from forced liquidation. The new law ensures digital assets are transferred to state custody in their original form, rather than being converted to cash. Authored by Senator Josh Becker, SB 822 updates California's Unclaimed Property Law to include digital financial assets. This legislation prevents unnecessary taxable events for consumers and streamlines operations for crypto service providers. Key provisions include mandatory notification to owners, native asset transfer, use of licensed custodians, and claimant options for receiving original assets or sale proceeds.
‍SEAL Introduces New Defense Against Crypto Phishing The cybersecurity nonprofit Security Alliance (SEAL) has launched a new system, "TLS Attestations and Verifiable Phishing Reports," to combat crypto phishing attacks. This tool is designed for advanced users and security researchers, providing cryptographic proof of malicious content served by phishing sites. It allows verification without direct exposure to compromised sites, making it harder for attackers to hide their activities. The system uses a trusted attestation server to verify reports.
‍Crowd FUD Signals Prime Crypto Buying Opportunities According to Santiment, "smart traders" consistently capitalize on moments of widespread fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) among retail investors. Retail emotions often dictate that crypto prices move in the opposite direction of their sentiment. Recent geopolitical events and economic concerns, such as tariff announcements and Middle East tensions, triggered peak crowd fear. While the broader crowd panicked, "smart traders" strategically increased their holdings, demonstrating a counter-intuitive approach. Santiment's data reveals that retail investors quickly exit during FUD but return just as rapidly when negative news is overblown, benefiting those who bought the dip. Developments like tariff announcements have shown instant impacts on market reversals. A Kraken survey found 81% of respondents were motivated by FUD when investing, and 63% admitted emotional decisions negatively affected their portfolios. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, recently registering "fear" ratings, underscores lingering apprehension and potential opportunities for those looking to buy into market weakness.
‍Canaan's Green Mining Pilot Sparks 40% Stock Surge Canaan Inc. has announced an innovative gas-to-compute pilot project in Alberta, Canada, in collaboration with Aurora AZ Energy.
