Hoffman spent months cooperating with officials, leading to Ahmed's arrest and a three-year prison sentence.🚨👮‍♂️ What are your thoughts on this crypto whodunit? Share below!👇

🚀 TON, formerly Telegram Open Network, is making strides in crypto adoption. It's transforming Telegram into a "super app", similar to WeChat, with integrated payment solutions and "mini apps" for businesses. 🍽️ Restaurants, for instance, can now create mini apps within Telegram, making their websites obsolete. This move could help normalize crypto transactions like never before, with each payment being transparent and tamper-proof. TON's network ensures fast transactions with low fees, making it an attractive platform for developers and users alike. Got thoughts? Share in the comments! 💭👇

🚀 Bitcoin layer-2 projects are on fire with VC interest, but are they really layer-2s or just sidechains in disguise? 🕵️‍♂️ Research suggests most of the 73 Bitcoin layer-2 projects might not meet the technical definition of a layer-2.

🚀Riot Platforms, a crypto mining firm, is in a tug of war with Bitfarms over a potential takeover. Riot, already owning a 13.1% stake in Bitfarms, was hit with a 'poison pill' strategy by Bitfarms to prevent Riot from acquiring a 15% or higher stake. Bitfarms' plan, however, seems to be in "direct conflict with established legal and governance standards," according to Riot's CEO, Jason Les.🤔 Will Riot's $950 million offer be enough to win this corporate battle?

🚀 Bitcoin (BTC) bounced back to $69,000 after a brief dip to $66,000, thanks to some friendly inflation data from Uncle Sam. Traders are now eyeing the $72,000 mark, with derivatives markets giving a thumbs up.👍 The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 3.3% in May, lower than expected, hinting at possible interest rate cuts by September. This news pushed the S&P 500 to a record high and gave Bitcoin a boost. However, the big question is whether Bitcoin's surge was just a flash in the pan or if it can sustain the momentum. Factors like miner and ETF outflows could play a crucial role. On June 10, Marathon Digital sold 1,000 BTC, valued at nearly $70 million, causing a stir among investors. The same day, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a collective net outflow of $65 million. Despite these outflows, Bitcoin derivatives showed resilience during the $66,000 dip, indicating a cautiously optimistic attitude among traders. So, what's your take? Will Bitcoin hit the $72,000 mark? Let us know in the comments! 👇 Remember, the future of Bitcoin is as unpredictable as a cat on a hot tin roof! 😹 #Bitcoin #CryptoNews
