A Matrixport-linked whale holds about $300m in leveraged Ethereum and Bitcoin longs with roughly $26m in unrealized profit, concentrating risk and raising liquidation shock potential. Summary On-chain

A Matrixport-linked whale holds about $300m in leveraged Ethereum and Bitcoin longs with roughly $26m in unrealized profit, concentrating risk and raising liquidation shock potential.

Summary On-chain and derivatives data flag a whale long roughly 120,000 ETH and about 700 BTC across major venues, with notional exposure above $300m. Earlier tracking showed this Matrixport-linked address up over $22m on 120,000 ETH and 650 BTC; the latest rally has pushed unrealized gains closer to $26m. Double-digit leverage and high margin utilization

mean a few percent drawdown in ETH or BTC could flip this winner into forced de-leveraging and broader market stress. A highly leveraged whale is sitting on eight figures of paper profit after loading up on both Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), underscoring how concentrated risk has become in the current market. Whale builds $300M-plus long book in ETH and BTC On-chain and derivatives monitoring data show a single whale address holding long positions of around 120,000 ETH and roughly 700 BTC across major derivatives venues. At current prices, that stack represents more than $300 million in notional exposure, with ETH accounting for the bulk of the risk. The combined unrealized profit on these positions is estimated at close to $26 million, reflecting the strength of the latest leg in the crypto rally. Tracking feeds attribute at least part of this activity to an address linked with Matrixport, which earlier this month was reported to be long 120,000 ETH and 650 BTC, worth about $306.4 million at the time, with over $22 million in unrealized profit. The increase in both ETH and BTC prices since that report lines up with the current higher notional and larger paper gains flagged by derivatives analytics platforms.

On March 3, 2026, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) released the "Stablecoins and Non-Custodial Wallets: P2P Transactions" report. Based on case studies, industry research, and data analysis submitted by FATF global network members, this report delves into the risks of stablecoins in money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing. It reveals how different types of criminal organizations use stablecoins to transfer and launder funds, repeatedly emphasizing that the greatest risk comes from P2P (peer-to-peer) transactions without any regulated intermediaries. When funds flow between multiple self-custodial wallets, regulators and financial institutions have virtually no way to trace the true identities of the transacting parties. The FATF did not release any new mandatory standards this time, but rather reiterated that its existing recommendations (especially Recommendation 15) must apply to all participants in the stablecoin ecosystem, including issuers and intermediaries. This article by Beosin will interpret the core content of the report, helping readers quickly grasp the risk and threat trends in the stablecoin field and improve their awareness and ability to respond to stablecoin-related risks.

 I. Current Status of the Stablecoin Market

1. Explosive Growth in Scale

The report points out that the scale and adoption rate of stablecoins have experienced explosive growth in the past few years. As of mid-2025, there are more than 250 stablecoins in circulation, with a market capitalization exceeding $300 billion. Among them, fiat-backed stablecoins pegged to the US dollar and centrally managed account for 95% of the market share, with USDT and USDC becoming the mainstream. The stablecoin's price stability, high liquidity, and cross-chain interoperability have made it in

Wintermute предупреждает майнеров биткоина: трансформация с помощью ИИ — не панацея

Майнеры биткоина переживают один из самых сложных периодов в истории сети, и новый отчет Wintermute указывает на то, что простое ожидание следующего бычьего рынка больше не является эффективной стратегией.

Компания заявляет, что если майнеры хотят пережить следующее сокращение вознаграждения за блок, они должны трансформироваться в управляющих инфраструктурой и средствами.

Аналитик Wintermute Джаспер Де Маэре объясняет, что текущий цикл майнинга структурно отличается от циклов 2018 и 2022 годов. Биткоин разработан таким образом, чтобы уменьшать вознаграждение за блок вдвое каждые четыре года, но на этот раз цена не удвоилась за тот же период, а это значит, что фактическая выручка майнеров сокращается.

В течение четырехлетнего периода доходность биткоина в этом цикле составляет всего около 1,15x, что значительно ниже 10-20-кратного роста в предыдущих циклах.

В прошлых циклах резкий рост цен маскировал многие проблемы. Майнеры могли рассчитывать на бычий рынок, который компенсировал бы снижение рентабельности после каждого халвинга.

Сегодня, с участием институциональных инвесторов, ETF и корпоративных фондов, торговля биткоином больше похожа на торговлю обычным макроактивом, что значительно снижает вероятность взрывного 20-кратного роста цен.

Для майнеров, которые строили свой бизнес на предположении о постоянно высоком росте, Wintermute рассматривает это как институциональный сдвиг, а не как неудачный квартал.

Litecoin Founder Warns Satoshi's Bitcoins May Be First Target of Quantum Attacks Litecoin (LTC) founder Charlie Lee warns that Satoshi Nakamoto's estimated 1.1 million Bitcoins ($BTC) are vulnerable to quantum-computing attacks. The warning raises an uncomfortable governance dilemma for Bitcoin's decentralized community. If Satoshi is no longer alive or accessible, no one can migrate those coins to safety, and freezing them would mean compromising Bitcoin's foundational principles. Why Satoshi's Bitcoins Are "Less Safe" In an interview with BelnCrypto, Lee explained that while quantum computing could, in theory, crack current encryption methods, the technology hasn't yet reached that level in practice. Still, he emphasized that the threat extends far beyond cryptocurrency, potentially undermining the security infrastructure of global finance, communications, and more. For crypto specifically, the stakes are high. If quantum computers were to break wallet encryption, anyone could access and spend someone else's funds, effectively destroying the foundation of the entire crypto ecosystem. However, not all wallets face the same risk. Comment 3 1

Metaplanet has faced online criticism alleging delayed Bitcoin purchase disclosures and unclear use of shareholder funds. CEO Simon Gerovich responded, calling these claims “inflammatory and contrary to the facts.”
📊 Key Points from Gerovich
Over the past six months, as volatility increased, the company allocated more capital to its income business and sold put options and put spreads, all actively managed.
Bitcoin purchases were for long-term holding and disclosed at the time they were made.
All BTC addresses are publicly accessible, allowing shareholders to track holdings in real time via a live dashboard.
In September, Metaplanet made four Bitcoin purchases, all promptly announced. Despite prices peaking locally, the strategy is systematic long-term accumulation, not market timing.
💡 Options Strategy Explained
Selling put options is not a bet on Bitcoin rising; it’s a method to acquire Bitcoin below spot price via premium income, lowering effective acquisition costs, especially in Q4.
📈 Performance Highlight
The company’s Bitcoin per share metric increased over 500% in 2025, demonstrating the effectiveness of its long-term accumulation strategy.
⚠️ Market Takeaway
Metaplanet emphasizes it is one of the most transparent listed companies in the world, with all operations publicly verifiable, maintaining a stable, long-term Bitcoin growth strategy rather than short-term speculation.

В четверг Сенат США единодушно проголосовал за запрет на внедрение цифровой валюты центрального банка (CBDC), что отражает растущую обеспокоенность законодателей из обеих партий по поводу защиты «финансовой свободы».

Положение о CBDC в законопроекте о жилищном строительстве
Сенат принял двухпартийный пакет мер в сфере жилищного строительства, известный как «Закон о пути к жилью XXI века» (21st Century ROAD to Housing Act). В рамках этого законопроекта конкретное положение запрещает Федеральной резервной системе (ФРС) выпускать розничную CBDC, с целью сдерживания роста цифровых валют, которые могли бы конкурировать с частными финансовыми системами.

Эксперт по рынкам МартиПарти (MartyParty) представил разбор ключевых элементов законодательства на платформе социальных сетей X, пояснив, что положение о CBDC включено в законопроект о жилищном строительстве в качестве отдельного раздела, часто называемого «подсластителем» для получения более широкой законодательной поддержки.

Оно запрещает не только создание и выпуск розничной CBDC, но и разработку любых аналогичных цифровых активов, предназначенных для общественного использования. Важно отметить, что срок действия этого ограничения истекает 31 декабря 2030 года, что делает его временной мерой, а не постоянным запретом.

Сообщается, что большинство голосов «против» было отдано группой консервативных республиканцев — таких как Тед Круз, Майк Ли и Рэнд Пол — которые выступали за более постоянный запрет, а также одним демократом, Брайаном Шатцем.

Республиканцы в Палате представителей выражают озабоченность
Законопроект стал результатом компромисса, достигнутого под руководством председателя Банковского комитета Сената Тима Скотта и старшего члена комитета Элизабет Уоррен. Успешно преодолев процедурные препятствия, включая голосование 84 против 6 за продолжение работы, законопроект теперь будет передан в Палату представител

Litecoin Founder Warns Satoshi’s Bitcoins May Be First Target of Quantum Attacks

Litecoin (LTC) founder Charlie Lee warns that Satoshi Nakamoto’s estimated 1.1 million Bitcoins ($BTC) are vulnerable to quantum-computing attacks.

The warning raises an uncomfortable governance dilemma for Bitcoin’s decentralized community. If Satoshi is no longer alive or accessible, no one can migrate those coins to safety, and freezing them would mean compromising Bitcoin’s foundational principles.

Why Satoshi’s Bitcoins Are “Less Safe”

In an interview with BeInCrypto, Lee explained that while quantum computing could, in theory, crack current encryption methods, the technology hasn’t yet reached that level in practice. Still, he emphasized that the threat extends far beyond cryptocurrency, potentially undermining the security infrastructure of global finance, communications, and more.

For crypto specifically, the stakes are high. If quantum computers were to break wallet encryption, anyone could access and spend someone else’s funds, effectively destroying the foundation of the entire crypto ecosystem. However, not all wallets face the same risk.

“The million Bitcoins that Satoshi has. Nobody knows who Satoshi is….Those coins are not well protected. They’re actually less safe than current coins in terms of quantum attacks,” Lee told BeInCrypto. “If quantum does happen, those will be the first coins that will be kind of broken into.”

The vulnerability stems from the transaction format. In the earliest days of Bitcoin (2009–2010), most transactions used Pay-to-Public-Key (P2PK) scripts rather than the later Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) format.

P2PK: The transaction output directly contains the public key.

P2PKH: The output contains a hash of the public key, which hides the actual key until the coins are spent.
