🚀 Crypto Trends 2025: Where is the market heading? 1️⃣ L2 & Modular Blockchains $ETH is cementing itself as the ultimate base layer, while innovation shifts to L2s. Rollups are getting more customizable, and modularity (Celestia, EigenLayer) is the new hot word. 2️⃣ RWA (Real-World Assets on-chain) Tokenization of bonds, real estate, and gold is no longer just hype — it’s already billions in liquidity. For #DeFi, this means fresh capital inflows and a path toward institutions. 3️⃣ AI + Crypto AI agents are starting to interact directly with #DeFi protocols: trading, swapping, yield hunting. This is not “future vision” anymore - pilot on-chain use cases are live. 4️⃣ Privacy vs. Regulation The tension grows: privacy-focused solutions (ZK, anonymous wallets) evolve, while KYC/AML pressure is mounting. Finding balance between anonymity and access is the main challenge. 💡 Takeaway: Crypto is moving beyond an enthusiast playground -it’s merging with real-world finance and AI. Are you keeping up?

We talk a lot about Monero!💸 but how many of us really know where its ecosystem came from? Let’s rewind to the year the blockchain first appeared. 📍In 2013, an anonymous author known as “Nicolas van Saberhagen” published the CryptoNote white paper, exposing Bitcoin’s privacy flaws and proposing powerful tools like ring signatures and one-time keys. 📍By April 18, 2014, disillusioned by Bytecoin’s premined supply, a group of developers (including “thankful_for_today”) forked the code and launched BitMonero - later renamed Monero, meaning “coin” in Esperanto. This was a fair launch - no premine, no insider profit. In the following years, Monero evolved: • Introduced RingCT (2017) to hide transaction amounts   • Implemented Bulletproofs (2018) to cut tx size & fees   • Added Dandelion++ & ASIC-resistant RandomX to protect users and decentralize mining   • Continued upgrades like Bulletproofs-plus and view tags in 2022… 📊 Driven by privacy, decentralization, and a grassroots community with no ICO or dev tax, Monero remains a beacon of anonymity in the crypto space. Today’s Monero stands on the shoulders of cypherpunks. Let’s appreciate not just the tech - but the values that kept it alive.

Over the past months, most of my work as a BD has been closely tied to the Monero ecosystem. What started as just another direction of growth gradually turned into something bigger - a true community experience. We went through the same ups and downs together: attacks on the network, tough delistings, endless debates about the future of privacy. Many doubted if Monero would survive. And yet, it did. This period showed (and proved) a few important things to me: -Resilience: technologies and communities built on strong values don’t vanish under pressure. -Trust: when a project is truly useful, people will stay - even when the market turns against it. -Unity: being “listed” is not just a business milestone, it feels like being welcomed into a family. Today, seeing Monero back in swaps- not just surviving, but growing, feels different. It’s not just about a feature update. It’s about what we all went through, and what we proved together. For me this was more than a professional lesson. It was a reminder: ecosystems are made of people, not just protocols. And when people stand together, the ecosystem becomes unshakable. #bd #monero #xmr #web3 #crypto

🚨 What’s Going On With Monero, Qubic, and TradeOgre? 1. Qubic’s “51% takeover” claim On August 11, 2025, Qubic (a mining project led by Sergey “Come-from-Beyond” Ivancheglo) announced they had reached 51% of Monero’s hashrate and even managed to reorganize a few blocks. This triggered panic: Kraken suspended Monero deposits, Ledger’s CTO warned about double-spend risks, and headlines screamed “Monero under attack.” 2. Reality check – closer to 30% Independent researchers and the Monero community quickly pointed out that Qubic’s hashrate never exceeded ~30%. The “51% attack” narrative looks more like PR hype than a sustained network takeover. Yes, there was a short reorg - but no proof of double spending or lasting control. 3. DDoS, downtime, confusion Qubic claimed they were hit by a DDoS attack, which slashed their hashrate from 2.6 GH/s down to 0.8 GH/s. But analysts remain skeptical: the evidence of an actual attack is thin, and some suspect this was part of the theater. 4. Market reactions XMR dropped 6–16% within days. Meanwhile, QUBIC’s token pumped nearly 25% — the “attack” seems to have been great marketing for them. The Monero community is now openly discussing defense strategies and ways to improve decentralization of its mining ecosystem. 5. TradeOgre goes dark Around the same time, TradeOgre — one of the largest no-KYC XMR liquidity hubs — went offline without explanation. Speculation immediately linked it to the Qubic drama: if they couldn’t control Monero, maybe they wanted to choke liquidity? No proof, but the timing is suspicious. TL;DR -Qubic shouted “51% attack,” but in reality reached ~30%. -Monero is not broken, but the fear, uncertainty, and doubt worked — XMR price dipped, trust was shaken. -Qubic’s token rallied, which makes you wonder: was this about control, or just a publicity stunt? -TradeOgre’s silence adds to the chaos. Takeaway: Don’t leave big funds on centralized exchanges, and expect Monero to harden its network against this kind of game.

🔍 Why are old Bitcoin wallets waking up? In July and August 2025, blockchain analysts have noticed a rare phenomenon: dormant BTC wallets from 2010–2012 are becoming active again.  One wallet from 2011 just moved 50 BTC - coins worth under $100 back then, now valued at over $3 million. And it’s not alone. What makes it interesting: -These wallets had zero activity for over a decade. -Historically, such movements have coincided with major market shifts - both bullish and bearish. -Some wallets use mixers or bridge assets like wBTC to obscure flows. 🤔 Possible reasons: -Profit-taking after a decade of holding. -Access recovery, perhaps heirs or new owners found lost keys. -Off-market deal or cold wallet reshuffling. Market signaling - intentional or not, such moves stir sentiment. While the total moved is small in macro terms, these events can influence investor psychology - especially when they form a trend. 🧠 Stay alert. The awakening of old wallets might hint at deeper shifts - in behavior, confidence, or the evolution of the Bitcoin ecosystem itself.

$ETH isn’t just a blockchain. It’s a whales religion. Those who know - know: Bitcoin is for storing. Ethereum is for living. While hamsters keep getting liquidated on another “1000x gem,” this is where the real cash flow lives: DeFi, NFTs, L2s, early sales, and access to private groups where nobody asks for your passport. Just your ENS and wallet balance. Vitalik? He’s a prophet. Weird. Awkward. But not a scammer. He doesn’t sell you air. He’s building the foundation of a digital economy where tokens work, DAOs vote, and code is law. 💻 You want luxury? Sign the transaction. 💅 You want to play? Learn to read the gas. Only the fearless survive volatility. While the world watches Lambo stories, real power hides behind private keys and the deceptive simplicity of MetaMask. Ethereum means having nothing - and still running the network. Just don’t forget: code doesn’t forgive. And neither does the market.  pump or a dump?

Crypto privacy at a crossroads: the Tornado Cash trial Last week, the trial began against one of Tornado Cash’s creators—a mixer that allegedly hid over $1 billion in illicit transactions Business Insider+1 Axios+1 WIRED! Prosecutors frame it as money laundering; privacy advocates argue it’s a matter of code freedom WIRED+1 Business Insider+1 The verdict may set a critical precedent: is code itself criminal? ❗Why it matters now: Could reshape DeFi privacy tools and regulation. May accelerate KYC/control on decentralized platforms. Could swing the balance between transparency and privacy. What you can do now: Follow the trial - a bellwether for privacy in crypto. Use non-custodial solutions to avoid regulatory drag. Rotate wallets and rely on privacy-first gear. Opt for swap tools designed with privacy in mind - like Xgram: - no data collection, no custody, no interference.
