<h3 id="strong-elon-musk-reveals-x-chat-a-bitcoin-like-encrypted-messenger-strong"><strong>Elon Musk Reveals “X Chat,” a Bitcoin-Like Encrypted Messenger</strong></h3>
<p>Elon Musk announced plans for “X Chat,” a standalone messaging app using peer-to-peer encryption inspired by Bitcoin. The app, set to launch within months, promises full privacy with no data sharing or ad tracking — a direct challenge to WhatsApp and Telegram. Musk said X Chat will replace Twitter’s old DM stack and be available on both the X platform and as a separate app.</p>

<p>The Australian Federal Police recovered $5.9 million in crypto by decoding a complex seed phrase hidden in a phone image belonging to an alleged criminal.

Authorities hailed the breakthrough as “miraculous work,” preventing the suspect from reclaiming illicit funds after prison release.</p>

<p>Crypto exchange MEXC apologized to pseudonymous trader “White Whale” after freezing $3.1 million of his assets for months. The funds were released following public backlash and a multimillion-dollar online campaign. Despite the apology, traders criticized MEXC’s handling of the issue and lack of accountability. The White Whale pledged to redistribute the recovered funds to supporters and nonprofit causes.</p>
<h3 id="strong-dydx-targets-u-s-market-entry-by-2026-with-spot-trading-push-strong"><strong>dYdX Targets U.S. Market Entry by 2026 with Spot Trading Push</strong></h3>
<p>Decentralized exchange dYdX plans to expand into the U.S. by 2026, offering spot trading for assets like Solana. President Eddie Zhang cited improving regulations under the Trump administration and growing institutional support for DeFi. The move follows a recent governance vote to compensate users after an outage and marks a major step toward U.S. regulatory alignment for decentralized platforms.</p>
<h3 id="strong-senator-questions-binance-us-over-usd1-stablecoin-post-cz-pardon-strong"><strong>Senator Questions Binance.US Over USD1 Stablecoin Post-CZ Pardon</strong></h3>
<p>Senator Chris Murphy accused Binance.US of promoting Trump’s USD1 stablecoin days after President Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. Murphy called it “blatant corruption,” urging an investigation into possible political influence. Binance.US denied wrongdoing, saying the listing was a routine business decision. The controversy reignited debate over crypto’s role in U.S. politics and CZ’s controversial pardon.</p>
