Рейн Лохмус потерял ключи от криптокошелька, на котором хранится 250 000 ETH

Эстонский банкир Рейн Лохмус купил в 2015 году криптовалюту Ethereum (ETH) на $75 тыс., но потерял ключи к кошельку. Теперь стоимость альткоинов эстонца превысила $1 млрд, отметили в Arkham Intelligence.

Лохмус — сооснователь эстонского LHV Bank, одного из крупнейших частных банков страны. Он проявлял интерес к криптовалютам еще в начале 2010-х годов. Лохмус приобрел Ethereum на $75 тыс. в ходе первичного размещения монет (ICO) в 2015 году по цене $0,30.

В 2023 году он признался, что не сохранил приватный ключ от кошелька и «не может восстановить доступ» к средствам. Директор по продукту биржи Coinbase Конор Гроган писал тогда, что если кто-то может помочь вернуть доступ к монетам банкира, то Лохмус готов поделиться ими.

Криптовалютный кошелек работает с двумя типами ключей — публичными (адрес, который виден всем) и приватными — теми, что используются для подписания транзакций. Приватный ключ нельзя терять, иначе будет утерян и доступ к кошельку. Также он не должен попасть к третьим лицам, поскольку с его помощью они могут получить доступ к средствам, хранящимся на кошельке.

Кошелек, на котором находятся 250 000 ETH, остается неактивным с момента ICO, с этого адреса не было произведено ни одной исходящей транзакции. Сегодня при курсе «эфира» более $4600 стоимость Ethereum Лохмуса превышает $1,15 млрд.

По информации Грогана, банкир не прилагал особых усилий для поиска потерянных ключей. Эстонец счел это бесполезной тратой времени:

«Да, и я не могу решить это в одиночку; если кто-то думает, что сможет, я приму все предложения... Но я отношусь к этому спокойно. Мне не нравятся вещи, которые приводят к нулю или единице. Вы можете потратить на это десять лет, и это может закончиться нулем; это может закончиться тем, что вы решите проблему, но я предпочитаю делать то, в чем прогресс виден ежедневно», — говорил Лохмус.

В январе этого года Гроган сообщил, что обнаружил примерно 430 биткоинов на десятках кошельков, предположительно связанных с Россом Ульбрихтом — основателем даркнет-площадки Silk Road. На момент ее закрытия в октябре 2013 года курс биткоина составлял около $120–130. За 13 лет цена нетронутых монет выросла почти в 1000 раз.

Breaking News: Musk Delivers the Most Powerful Grok 4.5, Slashes Price of Top-tier Opus Intelligence Drastically

**Elon Musk Launches Grok 4.5: A Cost-Effective, High-Performance AI Rival** SpaceXAI, in collaboration with Cursor, has released Grok 4.5, its new flagship AI model designed specifically for coding and agentic tasks. Trained on tens of thousands of NVIDIA GB300 GPUs using massive, high-quality data filtered from trillions of Cursor developer interactions, the model emphasizes "per-token intelligence." In benchmark performance, Grok 4.5 is highly competitive. It scores 64.7% on SWE Bench Pro (surpassing GPT-5.5's 58.6% and Opus 4.7's 64.3%), 83.3% on Terminal Bench 2.1 (nearly matching GPT-5.5), and 62.0% on DeepSWE 1.0 (beating Opus 4.8). Overall, it ranks fourth in AAAI official tests and first in the Harvey legal agent benchmark. The model's key advantage is its combination of speed, efficiency, and low cost. It generates responses at 80 tokens per second and, crucially, uses far fewer tokens to complete tasks—4.2 times fewer than Opus 4.8 on SWE Bench Pro. It is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, significantly undercutting competitors. Musk stated it is "roughly equivalent to Opus 4.7, but much faster." Early user tests show Grok 4.5 can generate functional code for applications like 3D solar system simulators and basic games from simple prompts, though some note it still lags behind top models in certain creative tasks. Musk has hinted at a major update next month, leveraging real-world engineering data from his companies, with an even larger 2-trillion parameter version reportedly in development. Grok 4.5 positions itself not as the absolute strongest model, but as a highly efficient and affordable alternative in the top tier.

Today, The Hong Kong Exchange Was Once Again Overwhelmed

Hong Kong's stock exchange witnessed an exceptionally busy day on July 9, with a record seven companies conducting initial public offerings (IPOs) simultaneously. The list included major firms such as Luxshare Precision, which launched the largest Hong Kong IPO of the year, and other notable names like Tri-Ring Group and Qiyunshan Food. However, the market reception was sharply divided on the first trading day. While Qiyunshan Food's shares surged over 110%, several other newcomers, including Luxshare Precision, Dingtai High-Tech, and Rigol Technologies, opened below their issue prices, with some falling nearly 20%. This event highlights a broader, bustling IPO scene in Hong Kong for 2024, with 82 Chinese companies listing in the first half alone—more than double the figure from the same period last year. A significant portion of this activity comes from dual "A+H" listings, where mainland China-listed firms seek secondary listings in Hong Kong. These larger companies have accounted for nearly 60% of total fundraising. Despite the high volume, recent trends show a cooling market sentiment for many new listings. Several IPOs in early July, including that of Tongrentang Healthcare, debuted with significant losses, indicating increased investor caution and selectivity. The market narrative is shifting, with capital increasingly concentrating on high-growth sectors like artificial intelligence, robotics, and semiconductors, while traditional manufacturing and consumer goods face greater pressure and volatility. This divergence underscores a market where success is no longer guaranteed by merely listing, but depends heavily on a company's growth prospects and sector appeal.

Glassnode: Crypto Market Enters Later Stages of Bottoming Phase

Glassnode: Crypto Market Enters Later Stages of Bottom Formation Bitcoin has traded below the true market average and the short-term holder cost basis for five consecutive months, indicating a deep undervaluation. On-chain data reveals a significant shift in selling pressure, with long-term holders now accounting for 43% of all realized losses. Daily realized losses for this group recently peaked at $280 million, the highest level since December 2022. While this large-scale capitulation is a hallmark of bear market bottoms, a sustained decline in this metric is a prerequisite for a sustained recovery. Institutional demand remains weak. US spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to see monthly net outflows, although the pace has moderated from June's peak. Furthermore, average daily ETF trading volumes have contracted by approximately 80% from their October 2025 peak, reflecting subdued institutional participation. Derivatives markets present a mixed picture. Overall positioning has shifted to cautiously bullish, with the put/call ratio dropping to a yearly low. However, the options volatility skew remains elevated, signaling that traders are still paying a premium for downside protection. The spot price also trades below the gamma "max pain" level. In summary, multiple indicators suggest the market is in the later phases of a bottoming process, characterized by long-term holder capitulation and weak institutional inflows. However, key confirmation signals for a durable trend reversal—a sustained drop in long-term holder selling pressure, stabilization of ETF flows, and a price recovery above key cost bases—are still pending.

World Cup Quarterfinals Are About to Kick Off, Who Did the AIs Vote to Advance?

The 2026 World Cup quarter-finals are set, with AI models unanimously predicting France, Spain, England, and Argentina to advance to the semi-finals, though they differ on match details. All six AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Grok) forecast France will defeat Morocco in regulation time, with predicted scores of 2-0 or 2-1. Spain is also favored to beat Belgium, with most AIs predicting a 2-0 or 2-1 win in regular time, though Gemini suggests a possible 1-1 draw leading to a Spanish victory on penalties. The Norway vs. England match is considered the most unpredictable due to Erling Haaland's threat. While all AIs ultimately pick England to advance, predictions range from a 2-1 regulation win to a 2-2 draw requiring extra time. For Argentina vs. Switzerland, AIs predict an Argentine victory, with scores varying from 2-0 to 2-1 in regulation, though Claude and ChatGPT warn the disciplined Swiss could force extra time or a penalty shootout. The core consensus is a final four of France, Spain, England, and Argentina, with the primary disagreements centering on match scores and whether games will require extra time or penalties.

Private Credit in US Dollar

Stablecoins are evolving into a new type of money market fund, channeling crypto deposits into the $2 trillion private credit market. This mirrors the 1970s innovation where money market funds pooled small deposits to buy high-yield government securities, bypassing bank restrictions. Today, platforms like Apollo's ACRED tokenized fund and Figure's on-chain lending system allow stablecoin holders to access institutional private credit strategies with no minimum investment, offering yields of 8-12%. On-chain tokenization enables greater liquidity and DeFi composability (e.g., using tokens as collateral for leveraged positions) compared to traditional, locked-up private credit funds. Consequently, on-chain private credit has grown 15x in a year to $5.87 billion, though it remains a tiny fraction (0.3%) of the global market. However, this model carries significant risks, as illustrated by the failure of Goldfinch. Launched in 2021, it directed crypto deposits to motorcycle loans in Kenya and Nigeria. Critical issues included a lack of local oversight, leading to unauthorized fund transfers and borrower defaults. With $56 million now trapped in non-performing loans, its collapse highlights that while blockchain streamlines capital transfer, the essential 90% of lending—underwriting, monitoring, and recovery—remains a costly, localized challenge. Success requires robust, traditional credit infrastructure, not just on-chain execution.
