Russia to Fine Illegal Crypto Miners and Confiscate Cryptocurrencies

According to Cryptonews, the Russian Ministry of Digital Development is drafting new regulations to combat illegal cryptocurrency mining. The draft stipulates that individuals who engage in illegal mining will face a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 rubles, and companies can be fined up to 2 million rubles, and the cryptocurrencies involved will be confiscated. The proposal is currently under cross-departmental review. The new regulations explicitly prohibit the use of cryptocurrencies for payment and settlement, and violators will be fined up to 1 million rubles. Mining farm operators must report mining data and wallet addresses to the Financial Supervision Bureau.

The central bank said that confiscating crypto assets will become the most effective deterrent.

ARK report: Bitcoin's rise is not a speculative boom, funds are avoiding the real estate and car markets and turning to BTC

According to CoinDesk, the latest report of ARK Invest led by Cathie Wood pointed out that Bitcoin rose 11.1% in May, hitting a new high of $112,000. At the same time, the US real estate and auto markets showed obvious signs of fatigue. Housing supply exceeded demand, and auto sales plummeted from more than 17 million in April to 15.6 million in May. ARK said that the rise of Bitcoin was not accompanied by speculative frenzy, and ETF funds inflow reached $5.5 billion, three times that of gold ETFs in the same period, indicating that investors may regard Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset rather than a hype tool, and make rational asset reallocation under economic pressure.

Glassnode: Ethereum forms potential support at $2,700-2,760, and is technically expected to hit $3,420

According to Glassnode data, Ethereum (ETH) has broken out of a one-month consolidation range. The cost basis distribution shows that 1.3 million ETH are held in the $2,700-2,740 range, and 800,000 ETH are accumulated around $2,760. These investors bought during the consolidation period, which may form a strong support zone. Above the spot price, the cost basis distribution is relatively even, with 200,000-400,000 ETH held for every $50 bandwidth in the $2,760-3,420 range, and no obvious resistance level until about 608,000 ETH is held at $3,417. If the $2,700-2,760 support range remains valid, ETH is technically expected to hit $3,420. But the market reaction of holders in the $2,800-3,300 range will determine the speed of ETH's rise.

Alby sparked controversy over its "account inactivity fee" clause, with some users' funds being deducted without their authorization

According to CryptoSlate, Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet Alby has sparked controversy over the "account inactivity fee" clause. Many users reported that their account funds were deducted without active authorization. Among them, Yu Xian, co-founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, said that his account was deducted about $192 (earlier news, Yu Xian said that he had taken back the assets transferred out of the Alby wallet). The focus of the dispute is the terms of service updated by Alby on May 1, which stipulates that accounts that have not been active for 12 months must pay an inactivity fee. Some users said that they did not notice the email notification in time, and the highest single deduction was $5,400. Luke Gao, founder of Lnfi Network, clarified that this was a measure for Alby to transition to a self-custody model, and the funds can still be recovered through customer service.

The Ethereum Foundation highlights six major security challenges facing its ecosystem, including user experience and social layer issues

According to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum Foundation released a report on Tuesday, pointing out that its ecosystem faces six major security challenges in the future, among which user experience and social layer issues are among them. The report is based on feedback from stakeholders such as users and developers, and believes that user experience is the key to security improvement. The report states that users bear a large security burden. After feedback and consultation, user experience security is considered the primary issue. The main concerns are blind signatures, approvals and permission management, as well as the vulnerability of web interfaces. Many users lack the ability to securely manage encryption keys. In addition, the report also mentions other security areas such as smart contracts, infrastructure and cloud, consensus protocols, monitoring responses and risk mitigation. At the same time, it emphasizes the community's concerns about the centralization of pledges and the centralization of off-chain assets, saying that the concentration of pledges may bring risks to Ethereum and may also trigger social governance manipulation. The foundation said that social layer and governance risks are more focused on the long term and are related to the entire Ethereum ecosystem, rather than the security of individual users or applications.

Technical analysis shows that $2,800 is a key support level. If the pledged ETF is approved, it may push the price to test the $5,500-6,700 range by the end of the year.
