As of May 27, 2025, the global crypto market cap is cruising at $3.55T—up 0.5% on the day and a healthy 31.3% YOY (cheers, CoinGecko).

Not exactly moon shots today, but the trend? Still bullish. The bulls are very much still in the building.

The Fear & Greed Index? Sitting in Greed, just slightly dialled down. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s hovering around $111K, holding strong.

Momentum’s ticking nicely, but stay sharp. Sentiment can flip faster than gas fees on a meme coin.

Altcoins & the Macro Party

Altcoins looking a bit wobbly? Yeah, smart money’s pivoting back to Bitcoin.

Don’t get caught holding the noise, follow the signal.

$2M Crypto Sting: Artist Swindled in Coinbase Scam

Yikes. This one hurts.

Ed Suman, a retired artist, just love over 2$ million in crypto to a scammer pretending to be from Coinbase support. Yeah—two million, gone.

Here’s how it happened:

The scammer had access to leaked user data—info reportedly swiped from bribed call center employees. With that, they sounded legit enough to trick Ed into handing over wallet access. And just like that, everything vanished.

Even worse? Ed wasn’t some clueless newbie. He was careful. But these scams are getting really good. Slick talkers. Insider info. Fake urgency. It’s no longer about clicking a shady link, sometimes, all it takes is picking up the wrong call.

Lesson here? Never, ever trust someone calling you about your crypto. Always go directly to the platform. No exceptions.

This stuff is getting scary. Stay sharp out there.

Ethereum’s Game-Changer: Cheaper Nodes, Stronger Network

Vitalik Buterin just dropped a fresh proposal, and it’s a big one for the little guys.

Instead of syncing the entire 1.3TB Ethereum blockchain (because who has the time or hardware for that?), his plan would let nodes only pull in the data they actually need. That means everyday folks could finally run a node from normal, non-beefy devices.

It’s part of the upcoming Pectra upgrade, and the goal is simple: more decentralization, tighter security, and fewer barriers to entry.

TLDR? More people, more places, fewer costs. That’s a solid win for the network.

Meanwhile, ETH is sitting pretty at around $2,615.74, up 2.68%, not bad at all.

Milei Skips Court, Judge Unseals Bank Records in $Libra Crash

Argentine President Javier Milei and his sister Karina just ghosted a civil hearing tied to the $Libra crypto mess, and it didn’t go unnoticed.

Judge María Servini responded by unsealing their bank records. Yep, things just got real.

The scandal? Milei promoted the $Libra token hard, it pumped, then tanked, leaving investors fuming and out $4.5 million. Now there’s a civil lawsuit, and criminal probes are heating up in both Argentina and the U.S.

Dodging court might’ve bought them time, but with financial records now in the spotlight, the pressure’s only going up from here.

What's Making Waves?

Hackers Hit Binance, Kraken with Coinbase-Style Social Engineering Scams

Looks like Coinbase wasn’t the only one.

Both Binance and Kraken just got hit with social engineer attacks, same playbook, different targets. Hackers either bribed or sweet-talked their way past customer support, digging up sensitive user data they had no business seeing.

Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s the exact tactic used in the Coinbase breach.

This isn’t about broken code, it’s about human error. Slick scammers are skipping the tech and going straight for people.

It’s a loud wake-up call for the industry: tighter internal controls, sharper training, and zero room for trust when it comes to data access.

Ukraine’s Bitcoin Reserve Push Nears Finish Line with Binance Backing

Big crypto moves coming out of Eastern Europe.

Ukraine's wrapping up a draft bill to create a national Bitcoin reserve, we’re talking 46,351 BTC, or around $4.8 billion. And guess who’s backing the plan? Binance.

If parliament gives the green light, Ukraine could become Europe’s first country with an official Bitcoin stack. That’s not just bold, it’s a signal to the world: Bitcoin’s no longer just for hedge funds and whales. Now, nations want in.

Global institutional interest? Yeah, it's heating up.

Panama City Mayor Eyes Bitcoin Reserve After El Salvador Talks

Panama City’s not sitting on the sidelines anymore.

Mayor Mayer Mizrachi is seriously exploring a city-level Bitcoin reserve, inspired by chats with El Salvador’s Bitcoin heavyweights, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert. But he’s not stopping there.

There’s talk of rolling out crypto education, plus renewable energy-powered mining, clean sats, anyone?

It all fits with Panama City’s recent move to approve crypto for public payments. Just one catch: they still need the rails to swap crypto to fiat on the backend. Once that’s sorted, it’s game on.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s flexing at ~$111,435, up 4.2%. Latin America’s looking more orange every week.
