An Israeli reservist was charged with leaking Iron Dome system secrets related to Iran and assisting the enemy during wartime, facing life imprisonment or the death penalty. Investigations revealed that this individual received cryptocurrency via Telegram and provided sensitive information. Similar incidents have occurred in Taiwan, where the Chinese Communist Party has used cryptocurrencies to infiltrate the military, posing challenges to national security. Countries need to strengthen the protection of military secrets.

Israeli reserve soldier Raz Cohen was charged with leaking "Iron Dome" air defense system secrets to Iran in exchange for 1,000 US dollars in cryptocurrency. Cohen transmitted 27 critical documents in a short period, including system operations and base locations, revealing vulnerabilities and risks in current intelligence penetration, and highlighting the role of social media and cryptocurrency payments in criminal activities.

"Fishing" = Laziness, Distraction, Shirking Responsibilities? In the traditional financial world, this is an iron-clad value judgment. Banks' time clocks, brokers' efficient execution, and trading institutions' precise risk control all proclaim: efficiency is king, and fishing is original sin. But the crypto industry has never played by the rules. Recently, LBank's collaboration with Solana ecosystem meme IP Ponke directly shattered these conventions: publicly launching the "Ponke Fishing Championship," letting users play a banana-catching mini-game within 30 seconds and share screenshots to split 1500 USDT in rewards. This seemingly "absurd" campaign is far from a trivial stunt capitalizing on trending topics. Rather, it's LBank's profound decoding of Web3 community value: in this community-driven market, value never comes solely from high-pressure, high-efficiency trading execution. Instead, it's hidden in low-pressure, relaxed participation and sentiment.

Written by: Charlie Little Sun The news that "Stripe is reportedly considering acquiring PayPal (all or parts)" has been circulating for a few days. According to internet pace, this is already considered "old news." But I actually think: the less buzz there is, the more appropriate it is to clarify this matter. Because a few days ago, everyone was talking about almost the same template: the new king replacing the old king, epic mergers and acquisitions, century-long deals, anti-monopoly iron fists, whether Stripe can swallow it all... None of these are wrong, but they are like a gust of wind, blowing attention toward "scale" and "drama," while obscuring the real fork in the road that will determine the outcome of this event. That fork in the road is an unremarkable phrase: all or parts. This is not a rhetorical flourish casually added by bankers in their drafts. It determines the nature of this matter.

The article introduces Form Energy, founded by MIT professor Jiang Yeming, who was born in Taiwan, and its revolutionary iron-air battery technology. The technology uses iron oxidation reactions for charging and discharging, with a storage capacity of up to 100 hours, supported by a $1 billion order from Google. This technology aims to address the power consumption issues of data centers and represents a new direction in clean energy storage.

The instant messaging app WhatsApp, owned by social media giant Meta, accused Russia of attempting to block access for millions of users, forcing them to turn to a Russian state-owned alternative app. Moscow-backed platform Max was launched by Russian tech company VK in March 2025, aiming to be a domestic alternative to foreign services like WhatsApp and Telegram.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi achieved the biggest post-war victory in the February 8 parliamentary election, with the Liberal Democratic Party expected to secure 274 to 326 seats. The market responded quickly, with the US dollar rising 0.2% against the yen to 157, and Bitcoin surging 5% against the yen. The strong mandate paves the way for crypto tax reforms, with the current top rate of 55% potentially reduced to 20%, along with capital gains tax and allowing loss carryforwards for three years.

Author: danny; Source: X, @agintender In the world of cryptocurrency, what truly determines victory or defeat is never the code, but the game of liquidity, power, and regulation. The rise and fall of BUSD is not a tragic tale of a stablecoin, but a financial war about how exchanges attempt to "unify the world." When BUSD was pushed onto the historical stage, it carried not only a narrative of compliance, but also Binance's ambition to reshape the stablecoin order through high-pressure tactics — by enforcing exchange rates and merging trading pairs, directly swallowing the depth of its competitors into its own ledger. The "automatic conversion" of 2022 was a textbook-level blitzkrieg; while the regulatory iron fist of Valentine's Day 2023 caused this seemingly impeccable empire to collapse in an instant. The dual nature of BUSD, the shadow-like Binance-Peg, and the misalignment of regulatory boundaries together constitute its downfall.

In the crypto world, what truly determines victory or defeat is never the code, but the game of liquidity, power, and regulation. The rise and fall of BUSD is not just a tragic story of a stablecoin, but a financial war over how exchanges attempt to "unify the world." When BUSD was brought onto the stage of history, it carried not only a compliance narrative but also Binance's ambition to reshape the stablecoin order through heavy-handed tactics—by enforcing exchange rates and merging trading pairs, directly swallowing competitors' depth into its own ledger. The 2022 "automatic conversion" was a textbook-level blitzkrieg; meanwhile, the regulatory iron fist on Valentine's Day 2023 caused this seemingly invincible empire to collapse in an instant. The twin BUSD, the shadow-like Binance-Peg, and the misalignment of regulatory boundaries together form its Achilles' heel. But the story is not over yet. From FDUSD
