🟠 Strategy's MSTR shares outpace preferred stocks with 77% gain
Strategy's common shares (MSTR) returned 77.4% in a period highlighted by executive chairman Michael Saylor, outperforming the company's four preferred stocks, which returned between 23% and 39% over the same timeframe.
Saylor attributed the stronger common stock performance in part to share buybacks, which he credited with supporting the company's securities. Shareholders are currently preparing to vote on more frequent dividend payments for the preferred stock offerings.
Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury holder, and MSTR's performance continues to track closely with Bitcoin price movements, making it a closely watched proxy for institutional Bitcoin exposure.

Electrum has released wallet version 4.8.3 to fix a security vulnerability that allowed malicious servers to redirect user payments and steal Bitcoin.
Attackers exploited the flaw by connecting to users via rogue Electrum servers and triggering fake fee bump requests — a process normally used to speed up pending transactions. Instead of accelerating a legitimate payment, the manipulated fee bump redirected funds to attacker-controlled addresses. Confirmed losses have been reported, though total amounts were not disclosed in available details.
The fix is live in version 4.8.3. Users running older versions of Electrum should update immediately to avoid exposure to this attack vector.
⚖️ Bank of Israel rejects Netanyahu crypto sanctions plan
The Bank of Israel has firmly rejected a proposal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to use cryptocurrencies as a mechanism to bypass international sanctions.
The central bank emphasized the importance of maintaining strong economic ties with international partners, signaling that circumventing sanctions through digital assets poses unacceptable risks to Israel's financial relationships.
The move highlights how crypto is increasingly surfacing in geopolitical and regulatory debates, with central banks pushing back against attempts to use digital assets to sidestep established financial frameworks.
A governance takeover on the X100 protocol allowed an attacker to drain $4.85 million in USDT from the project's treasury and liquidity positions on Ethereum.
The exploit was carried out across two transactions, converting treasury tokens and liquidity holdings into USDT. Security firm Blockaid flagged the attack as ongoing at the time of the alert.
Governance-based exploits remain a serious threat in DeFi — once an attacker gains control of on-chain governance, protocol funds can be moved without triggering standard security controls.
🌐 DTCC Launches Tokenization Service for Real-World Assets
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which processes the majority of U.S. securities transactions, has unveiled a new tokenization service targeting real-world assets (RWA).
The service is designed to bring assets onto blockchain infrastructure, with the DTCC citing a potential scope of $30 trillion in assets. No further technical details or launch timeline were provided in the announcement.
The move signals growing institutional interest in on-chain asset infrastructure, as major financial market utilities begin exploring tokenization at scale.
🔐 Chinese National Extradited Over $36.9m Crypto Scam
A Chinese national has been extradited from the Netherlands to Los Angeles, facing charges linked to an alleged crypto investment fraud scheme operated out of Cambodia.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the scheme targeted 174 identified American victims and funneled over $36.9 million through a Bahamas-based bank account.
The case highlights the continued cross-border reach of law enforcement action against crypto fraud, with international extradition now a tangible consequence for suspects operating overseas.
