The small nation’s Ether staking adds to its expanding blockchain activity as it remains one of the few governments holding Bitcoin. Blockchain data shows the Royal Government of Bhutan has staked 320 Ether (ETH) worth roughly $970,000 through Figment, marking the latest onchain activity from the Himalayan state as it expands its crypto holdings and validator operations. Figment is a staking provider that helps large investors and institutions stake digital assets across multiple blockchains and earn rewards for securing proof-of-stake networks. The move adds to a growing wave of Ethereum-focused activity from Bhutan. In October, the South Asian nation of roughly 800,000 people began migrating its self-sovereign digital ID system from Polygon to Ethereum, allowing residents to verify their identities and access government services on the network.

The financial services giant has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a leveraged BTC financial product. Members of the Bitcoin community and supporters of Strategy, the largest corporate holder of BTC, are criticizing JPMorgan’s proposed Bitcoin-backed notes, accusing the bank of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about Strategy and other crypto treasury firms. JPMorgan’s notes are a leveraged investment product tied to the price of Bitcoin (BTC). The product tracks BTC but amplifies the outcome, giving holders 1.5 times the gains — or the losses — through December 2028. The notes are slated for a December 2025 launch, according to an SEC filing. The move drew sharp criticism from the Bitcoin community, with many saying that JPMorgan is now a direct competitor to BTC treasury companies and has an incentive to marginalize companies like Strategy to promote its own structured financial product.

The proposal details how roughly $8 million recovered from the $116 million November hack would be distributed to victims. Two members of the Balancer protocol community submitted a proposal on Thursday outlining a distribution plan for a portion of the funds recovered from the protocol’s $116 million November exploit. About $28 million from the $116 million heist was recovered by white hat hackers, internal rescuers, and StakeWise — an Ether liquid staking platform. However, the proposal covers only the $8 million recovered by white hat hackers and internal rescue teams, while the nearly $20 million retrieved by StakeWise will be distributed separately to its users.

Veteran trader Alessio Rastani breaks down his bullish outlook for Bitcoin in the coming months in a new Cointelegraph interview. With Bitcoin sliding from its recent all-time high and market sentiment sinking into extreme fear, many investors are convinced the bull run is over. While social media is filled with predictions of a deep bear market and analysts claiming the next true bottom won’t arrive until 2026, trader Alessio Rastani sees a different picture. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Rastani explains why the recent drop may not signal the start of a prolonged bear cycle. Instead, he argues that the data points to a historically recurring setup that has preceded strong rallies roughly 75% of the time. According to Rastani’s charts, this setup has appeared after several past death cross events, the same pattern that many traders wrongly interpret as a bearish omen. Read more -

The rally is happening against a tightening policy backdrop with FATF pressure, new EU AML rules and a growing list of privacy coin delistings. Sanctions cases and prosecutions involving mixers and wallets have raised questions about the line between infrastructure and money transmission, pushing compliance teams toward cautious de-risking.

Global inflation has slowed down, but in many countries, crypto is still providing an attractive and viable alternative to the local monetary system. Countries around the world are grappling with inflation, and in many places, investors and everyday savers are turning to crypto to protect their savings. The early 2020s saw a sharp uptick in global inflation rates amid government stimulus programs during the COVID-19 epidemic. Supply chain disruptions led to increased costs for businesses, and food and energy prices rose following Russia’s war in Ukraine. Central banks responded aggressively, hiking interest rates and easing pressure on supply chains. As a result, inflation rates have somewhat calmed in the last two years. Read more -

Houdini Swap launched Houdini Pay, a payment service that breaks onchain links between counterparties, offering surface-level privacy. Centralized instant exchange aggregator Houdini Swap has rolled out a private payment service allowing users to receive payments in their preferred asset without revealing their onchain address.

The fees incurred for using the service are those for using the Houdini Swap instant exchange aggregator on the back end and are covered by the sender. The recipient receives the full requested amount. Read more -

Lawyers say privacy laws and AML laws sometimes conflict and there’s no clear path to compliance for decentralized blockchain projects. Crypto was originally most closely associated with anonymity, but in 2025, the crypto ecosystem has changed. User privacy is diminishing, as new laws in different jurisdictions across the globe require Know Your Customer and ID checks for wallets or exchange accounts to combat money laundering. The increasing sophistication of blockchain analysis tools means that every transaction has a transparent trail that can be traced back to its source. As a result, onchain privacy has become a major theme. In October, the Ethereum Foundation announced the formation of its Privacy Cluster, a group of some 47 researchers, engineers and cryptographers who are working to make the base layer of Ethereum private.

A malicious Chrome extension called Crypto Copilot lets users trade Solana directly from X but secretly skims a small portion of the transaction. A malicious Google Chrome browser extension is letting users trade on Solana, while quietly skimming a fee from every swap into the creator’s wallet. According to a Tuesday report by cybersecurity company Socket, the Google Chrome extension allows users to trade on Solana (SOL) from their X social media feed. Unlike typical wallet-draining malware that tries to steal the entire balance, Crypto Copilot “injects an extra transfer into every Solana swap, siphoning a minimum of 0.0013 SOL or 0.05% of the trade,” Socket found. On the back end, Crypto Copilot uses the decentralized exchange Raydium to perform swaps for the user, but appends a second instruction that transfers SOL from the user to the attacker. The user interface only shows the swap details while wallet confirmation screens “summarize the transaction without surfacing individual instructions.” Read more -

CTDG Dev Hub’s upgrade pipeline turns raw ideas into tested code, formal proposals and transparent governance across networks. Blockchains do not stand still. Fee markets shift, validator sets evolve, and new modules arrive to handle everything from privacy to crosschain messaging. Behind each of those changes sits a simple starting point: an idea that someone cared enough to write down. Cointelegraph Decentralization Guardians (CTDG) was created to give those ideas a more reliable home. The initiative runs high-performance validators and participates in governance across networks such as Solana,, Injective, Chiliz, Polkadot, Coreum, Canton and Mantra, contributing to decentralization and security at the protocol layer. The CTDG Dev Hub, launched in collaboration with blockchain infrastructure provider Boosty Labs, extends the work to the development process itself. It serves as a public coordination space where contributors can submit, discuss and track upgrade proposals instead of relying on fragmented chat... -
