JUST IN: 🇰🇵 North Korea’s Lazarus Group is moving stolen ETH from ByBit to Chainflip to convert to BTC.
Chainflip says it has limited some frontend services but can’t fully block transactions as a decentralized protocol.
Over $1.1M in ETH has already been converted.
COINDESK: A source claims the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) manages seized Bitcoin using Excel spreadsheets—tracked with individual keystrokes.
The agency allegedly shares BTC deposit addresses via unencrypted email, struggles with tracking errors, and can’t confirm its total Bitcoin holdings. 
Will Vitalik roll back the chain now that the Bybit Hacker has twice as much ETH as him?
Stimmy checks are BACK, this time 3X bigger 👀

FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL: “The Federal Reserve is not a public government entity, it’s a private entity…manipulating currency to their advantage and that needs to be tackled.”
Montana is moving to allow bitcoin to be part of its state reserves. House Bill 429 (HB 429) passed the Montana House Business and Labor Committee with a 12-8 vote. All Republicans voted for it, all Democrats against.
