North Korea has become the world's third-largest government holder of Bitcoin, following a massive cryptocurrency heist. Here's the detailed breakdown:

North Korea achieved this position through a massive cryptocurrency theft. On February 21, hackers affiliated with North Korea's Lazarus Group infiltrated Bybit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, stealing approximately $1.46 billion in Ethereum.

🚨🚨🚨 New Cryptojacking Malware MassJacker Targets Cryptocurrency Transactions

A new type of crypto-jacking malware known as MassJacker is targeting users who download pirated software. The malware hijacks #cryptocurrency transactions by replacing stored addresses. The malware originates from the website pesktop[dot]com, where unsuspecting users may inadvertently infect their devices. Once installed, MassJacker swaps out crypto addresses stored on the clipboard application for those controlled by the attacker.

CyberArk reports that 778,531 unique wallets are linked to the theft, with only 423 holding crypto assets, totaling approximately $336,700 as of August. Notably, one wallet contained over 600 Solana (SOL) worth around $87,000 and had a history of holding NFTs like Gorilla Reborn and Susanoo. An analysis revealed 1,184 transactions since March 11, 2022, and the wallet's owner engaged in decentralized finance activities in November 2024, swapping tokens such as Jupiter (JUP), Uniswap (UNI), USDC, and Raydium (RAY).

Cryptocurrency malware has been around since Coinhive released the first cryptojacking script in 2017. In February 2025, Kaspersky Labs found malware in app-making kits for Android and iOS that could scan images for crypto seed phrases. In October 2024, Checkmarx discovered crypto-stealing malware in the Python Package Index. Other malware has also targeted macOS devices.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Ripple Secures Full Regulatory Approval from Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for Crypto Payment Services in UAE

Ripple, a leading blockchain payment provider, has achieved full regulatory approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to offer cross-border cryptocurrency payment services in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The company announced on March 13 that it had obtained its DFSA license, granting it the ability to operate within the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), a prominent free-economic zone in the UAE with its own tax policies and regulatory framework.

This milestone comes nearly six months after Ripple received in-principle approval for the DFSA license. On October 1, 2024, Ripple disclosed its efforts to secure the license as part of its broader strategy to expand its digital asset infrastructure in the UAE. The approval marks a significant step in Ripple's mission to enhance its presence in the region and provide innovative crypto-based payment solutions.

This development underscores the UAE's growing role as a hub for blockchain and #cryptocurrency innovation, as well as Ripple's commitment to complying with regulatory standards while expanding its global footprint.

🚨 Clynton Marks Detained in Connection with South African Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme (MTI)

Clynton Marks, the alleged mastermind behind the South African Bitcoin Ponzi scheme Mirror Trading International (MTI), has been detained following his failure to provide satisfactory answers to liquidators regarding Bitcoin withdrawals from his MTI account. Marks claimed, "I am doing my best to respond to all questions, but my memory is insufficient to recall all the transactions. Additionally, I am unable to contact the individuals who managed the account on my behalf." Previously, Marks had entrusted investment and withdrawal operations to two associates, Don Nkomo and Andrew Caw. In 2022, Marks, along with MTI CEO Johann Steynberg and others, was ordered to repay $291 million to defrauded investors.

### Background on MTI's Downfall
MTI, once promoted as a lucrative Bitcoin and forex trading platform, promised investors monthly returns of 10%. However, it was later exposed as a fraudulent Ponzi scheme. In 2023, the Western Cape High Court declared MTI an illegal operation, invalidating all agreements with investors. Despite appeals, the ruling remains in effect. Steynberg, arrested in Brazil, is currently facing extradition, while the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is pursuing a $1.73 billion claim against the scheme.

South African liquidators, in coordination with international authorities, are working to recover assets, including approximately 29,421 Bitcoins, to compensate affected investors.

🚨Breaking: Solana's Upgrade Proposal Receives Overwhelming Support

The SIMD-228 upgrade proposal for Solana has successfully achieved quorum, with 71.85% of votes in favor. This proposal seeks to reduce the SOL inflation rate by 80%. The voting process will continue until the end of epoch 755, and the proposal has already received approval.

#solana #sol #cryptocurrency #Blockchain #defi

🚨Breaking: Solana Preparing for a Massive Change

Here's what this massive change means:

- Current inflation: 4.7% annually
- New rate: Could drop to just 1.5%
- Impact: Billions less SOL entering circulation each year

The Good:

- Less sell pressure on SOL price
- More attractive for institutional investors
- Could boost SOL's value long-term

The Bad:

- Small validators might struggle to survive
- Could reduce network decentralization
- Impact on DeFi protocols still uncertain

The proposal, called SIMD-0228, changes how new SOL tokens are created. Instead of following a fixed schedule, it uses a "smart emissions" system that adjusts based on how many tokens are being staked.

This is a huge moment for Solana - potentially making it more attractive to investors but risking the health of its decentralized network. The change needs a two-thirds majority to pass, and voting is happening now!
