  There's a pill version of Ozempic. JP Morgan says Strategies' financial resilience is a key factor shaping Bitcoin's short-term price direction even more than miner activity. Strategies' enterprise value-to-Bitcoin ratio remains above 1, which signals it's unlikely to sell Bitcoin to meet obligations, especially with its new $1 billion reserve, which can cover up to two years of dividends and interest. This stability reassures markets. Bitcoin's recent price pressure is partly due to declining mining hash rate and profitability. JP Morgan estimates Bitcoin's production cost at $90,000, down from $94,000 per kilowatt hour. Analysts say this is secondary to Strategies' balance sheet and influencing prices. They also noted that Strategy has slowed its Bitcoin accumulation but recently crossed

  650,000 BTC. Meanwhile, the risk of Strategy being removed from MSCI indices may already be priced in after MSTR underperformed Bitcoin by 20% since the consultation began in October. JP Morgan says if MSCI keeps Strategy in its indices, both MSTR and Bitcoin could rebound strongly. Well, Ledger researchers uncovered a vulnerability in the MediaTek Dimensity chip used in many Android phones, showing that physical electromagnetic fault injection can fully compromise the device. The attack lets hackers bypass security checks and execute code at the chip's highest privileged level. It requires physical access but takes just minutes to repeat. The flaw puts users of smartphone-based Web3 wallets at risk, especially those storing private keys directly on their phones. Ledger stressed that its own hardware wallets are not affected and emphasized the need

The discovery comes as physical attacks on crypto holders are increasing worldwide, including a recent murder in Vienna and crypto-related kidnappings in France and Belgium. Well, international authorities have dismantled a large crypto Fraud and money laundering network that moved more than 700 million euros through fake investment platforms, Europol said. The takedown followed years of investigation that began with a single fraudulent trading site and eventually uncovered a sprawling network of call centers, shell companies, and laundering operations operating across multiple countries. The group lured victims through aggressive social engineering calls and fabricated dashboards showing fake

  profits. Once victims sent funds, the network moved the crypto across multiple blockchains and exchanges to hide its origin. As the probe expanded, investigators found the operation tied to numerous websites and a sophisticated financial infrastructure spread across several jurisdictions. Europol said the actions represent a coordinated strike against multiple pillars of the online crypto fraud industry and that authorities will continue tracing the group's assets across the jurisdictions where it operated. And finally, Alphaton Capital has filed a shelf registration with the SEC to expand investments in Toncoin Telegram's mini-app ecosystem and the Cocoon AI network.
