House Republicans are pushing to ban U.S. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) even before the Federal Reserve formally proposes them. Meanwhile, Democratic Representative Stephen Lynch has introduced a bill for a digital dollar pilot.

The project aims to merge Bitcoin branding with high-yield staking on the Binance Smart Chain, offering staking rewards of up to 320% annually.

Bitcoin has experienced a rare death cross, with its 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day moving average, last seen in January 2022 when BTC's price dropped over 60%.

To combat these attacks, cryptocurrency firms should train employees to counter social engineering tactics. North Korean hackers are increasingly using Russian exchanges to launder funds, and the United Nations is working to curb their cybercrime activities. Increased smart contract audits aim to make it harder for hackers.
