XRP Wallet Founder Warns Investors Of Dangerous Scam Targeting The Community

A prominent XRP wallet founder, Wietse Wind, has issued a warning about a fast-moving impersonation scam targeting the XRP community. Attackers pose as official support, wallet engineers, or recovery specialists through direct messages, emails, and cloned profiles, using convincing language to gain trust. They then attempt to steal seed phrases by framing requests as urgent account recovery needs. Since XRP transactions are irreversible, sharing seed phrases leads to immediate and irreversible losses. The community has reported significant financial damages, including a recent incident involving a $3 million loss from a compromised cold wallet. To mitigate risks, users are advised to never share seed phrases, validate identities through official channels, avoid unsolicited messages, and report suspicious activity. This coordinated scam exploits user vulnerability and highlights the growing sophistication of threats within the ecosystem.

UAE telco giant e& taps dirham stablecoin for bill payments pilot

UAE telecom giant e& has signed a memorandum of understanding with Al Maryah Community Bank to pilot a dirham-pegged stablecoin, AE Coin, for consumer bill payments and digital services. The initiative, part of the UAE’s push toward regulated digital finance, aims to enable instant, transparent, and frictionless transactions. If successful, the pilot could integrate the licensed stablecoin across e&'s payment infrastructure, including mobile and home-service bills, prepaid top-ups, and e-commerce. However, the project remains in an early exploratory stage, with no defined timeline or rollout scope yet.

Netflix teases comedy movie about missing $35M crypto password

Netflix has announced a new comedy film titled "One Attempt Remaining," starring Jennifer Garner. The movie follows a divorced couple who discover they won cryptocurrency on a cruise that is now worth millions—but they have forgotten the password to access it. They have 48 hours to recover $35 million before their claim expires. The plot draws inspiration from real-life crypto stories, such as that of Stefan Thomas, a former Ripple CTO who lost access to 7,002 Bitcoin. While crypto has appeared in media before, it is rarely the central theme of a feature film. Other examples include documentaries and films based on major crypto exchange collapses.

Xiaomi to pre-install Sei crypto wallet on millions of phones in global rollout

Sei Labs, the developer behind the Sei blockchain, has partnered with Xiaomi to pre-install a crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the U.S. The app will allow users to sign in with Google or Xiaomi accounts and includes a secure MPC wallet, access to crypto applications, and support for P2P and merchant payments. The rollout will begin in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. A $5 million fund will support mobile blockchain projects. The companies also plan to enable stablecoin payments for Xiaomi products, including phones and EVs, starting in Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026. This move follows similar efforts by Solana Mobile, which has launched two Web3 smartphones, and Samsung’s integration of crypto features via Coinbase.

J.P. Morgan taps Solana for Galaxy’s tokenized corporate bond issuance

J.P. Morgan has arranged a $50 million tokenized commercial paper issuance for Galaxy Digital on the Solana blockchain, marking one of the earliest U.S. debt deals executed on a public blockchain. The tokenized bond was sold to Franklin Templeton and Coinbase, with settlements conducted in USDC. The move highlights growing institutional adoption of blockchain for improving efficiency and reducing costs in traditional finance. Separately, Hong Kong and mainland China are advancing asset tokenization, with Hua Xia Bank recently issuing $600 million in digital yuan bonds. The tokenized real-world asset market is projected to reach $300 billion by 2030.

Are Dogecoin ETFs Dead On Arrival? Dwindling Volume Suggests Investors Are Not Interest – Details

Dogecoin ETFs have experienced consistently low demand and dwindling trading volumes since their launch in late November, indicating a lack of institutional interest. Data from SoSoValue shows daily volumes have declined significantly, with only three days reaching seven-figure trades out of twelve. Total net assets for these funds stand at just $6.01 million, far below Grayscale’s Chainlink ETF, which has $77.71 million in assets. Analysts had predicted lower interest for meme coins like DOGE compared to major cryptos, and this is reflected as even newer Solana and XRP ETFs are performing better. DOGE’s status as a meme coin with limited utility is seen as a key reason for its poor ETF uptake. The token’s price also fell over 6% to $0.138 at the time of writing.

Bhutan goes for gold, announces sovereign-backed RWA token

Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) has announced the launch of TER, a sovereign gold-backed digital token. The token, issued on the Solana blockchain, is backed by physical gold deposits custodied by government-regulated DK Bank. Matrixdock serves as the technology partner for the tokenization process. This initiative is part of Bhutan's broader strategy to adopt blockchain technology, hedge against currency inflation, and modernize its economy. The country has been mining Bitcoin since 2019 and currently holds a significant crypto reserve. It has partnered with DK Bank and Binance Pay to enable crypto payments for tourism, with over 1,000 local businesses now accepting digital currencies.

Texas grid is heating up again, this time from AI, not Bitcoin miners

Texas is rapidly becoming a major hub for AI-driven energy demand, with a significant surge in large-load power requests—now dominated by AI data centers rather than Bitcoin miners. ERCOT, the state’s grid operator, reports a queue of 226 gigawatts of new power requests, 73% of which are linked to AI facilities. While the supply side has 1,999 generation proposals totaling 432 GW, mostly solar and battery projects, these sources can't provide the 24/7 power AI data centers need, creating potential reliability issues. Regulators are adapting with new rules for large power users and increased transmission projects. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners, once major energy users, are shifting toward AI computing to capitalize on growing demand, as seen in projects like Galaxy’s $460 million conversion of a Texas mining site into an AI data center.
