NEWS IN THREE SENTENCES
Crypto News 📰

🚨 A Bit Late: FBI Fingers North Korea For Bybit’s $1.5B Mega-Hack

The FBI confirmed “TraderTraitor” hackers from the DPRK pulled off the biggest crypto heist in history, draining $1.5B from Bybit on Feb. 21. They’re already laundering the stolen loot via thousands of addresses, so apparently 1.5 billion bucks wasn’t enough to keep them discreet. FBI.

⚡ Litecoin Unveils .LTC Domains

No more clunky addresses, just snap up a .LTC domain from Unstoppable and send funds to “moonshot.ltc” or something equally rebellious. It’s a forever-owned domain bridging LTC’s OG vibe with the unstoppable world of Web3 login. Over a decade old and still finding new ways to stay relevant, Litecoin keeps flexing. Litecoin.

💸 Saylor: I’ll Buy All BTC If It Hits $1

MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor said if Bitcoin ever collapses to $1, he’d scoop every single coin. He’s convinced BTC’s fundamentals, institutional backing, and 21M cap ensure it’ll never crater that low. So while we watch it hover around $84k (down from 90K+), Saylor’s basically telling short-sellers: “Yeah, good luck with that.” TheStreet.

📉 Pump.Fun Volume Crashes as Meme Mania Fades

That memecoin launchpad that had 70k+ tokens minted in a single day? Now it’s down to just 25k daily. Even the $100k liquidity “burn” mechanism can’t save it as hype drifts away. After big splashes from celebrity coins like Trump’s, the mania’s cooled off, leaving fewer degens flipping cat-faced tokens into 2x overnight fortunes. CoinCodex.

🕵️ Chainalysis Sees $51B+ in 2024 Crypto Crime

Chainalysis revised last year’s crime stats to a record $51B, thanks to stablecoin laundering, pro-grade AI scams, and advanced DeFi exploits. Ransomware payments dropped 35%, but criminals just pivoted to stablecoins and untraceable alt-laundering. Looks like the only winners are those who can hide their footprints faster than regulators can chase them. Cointelegraph.
