The United States sanctions North Korean hacking teams, involving Russian nationals and Chinese front companies
Recently, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on two individuals and two companies for allegedly stealing cryptocurrency from U.S. businesses to fund North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile development.
This action further expands the scope of sanctions against the North Korean IT company Chinyong, which was blacklisted in May 2023.
Reports indicate that those sanctioned include a Russian national, a North Korean official stationed in Russia, a team of North Korean IT workers, and a Chinese front company.
According to the Treasury Department, these individuals and entities constitute a transnational fraud network that arranges for North Korean IT personnel to infiltrate overseas technology and cryptocurrency companies under false identities, stealing digital assets from within and laundering funds to transfer them into North Korea.
In recent years, the U.S. Treasury has significantly hindered the rampant cryptocurrency theft by North Korean hacking organizations worldwide through sanctions on mixers and over-the-counter traders.
In the years prior, the U.S. Treasury also imposed sanctions on two well-known mixing service providers, Tornado Cash and Sinbad, aiming to close avenues for North Korea to evade international regulation via cryptocurrency.
Additionally, a report from the United Nations Security Council shows that between 2017 and 2024, North Korean-affiliated groups have stolen over $3.6 billion in cryptocurrency, and the total continues to grow.
Furthermore, blockchain analyst ZachXBT reports that over $16.58 million has been paid to North Korean IT workers from 2025 to June of this year. These individuals have infiltrated thousands of cryptocurrency-related job positions through false identities.
This incident not only highlights the complexity of North Korea's illegal activities using cryptocurrency but also reiterates the ongoing challenges faced by the cryptocurrency industry in terms of security and compliance.
To address these challenges, the cryptocurrency industry must strengthen personnel background checks to ensure the integrity and legality of all participants.

Many new users arrive at Binance eager to multiply their money quickly… and fall into the same trap over and over again.
🚨 What is it about?
Believing that "more risk = more profit" and jumping straight into trading Futures or leverage without experience. The result is almost always the same: total account liquidation within hours or days.
🔑 Why does this happen?
1. Casino effect: leverage seduces because it multiplies profits, but it also multiplies losses.
2. Lack of risk management: beginners enter without stop loss or exit plan.
3. Emotion > strategy: they operate on impulse, not analysis.
✅ How to avoid falling into the trap • Start with spot, building for the long term. • Learn first to read supports, resistances, and trends.
• Always use risk management: never put in more than you are willing to lose.
• Remember: in crypto, surviving is the key to winning.

🏆 The best strategies on Binance to grow without going crazy
Many ask me: “What should I do on Binance? Trading? Holding? Staking?” The reality is that there is no single perfect strategy, but there are smart ways to use the platform according to your profile.
1️⃣ Holding (buy and hold)
The simplest and most effective in the long term. • You buy strong projects (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB). • You leave them in Earn Flexible or staking to earn interest. • It requires patience, but it has yielded the best results in the last 10 years.
👉 Ideal for those who don’t want to be glued to the charts.
2️⃣ Staking and Earn (passive income) • Put USDT, BNB, or cryptos in Earn Flexible. • Lock coins in Staking Locked for better yields. • It’s like “putting money to work” while you wait for the rise.
👉 It provides constant flow and complements holding.
3️⃣ Spot Trading (taking advantage of short movements) • Buy during corrections and sell during rebounds. • Use cryptos with volume like SOL, ETH, XRP, or trending altcoins. • With discipline, you can generate daily income.
👉 Recommended to practice with little capital at the beginning.
4️⃣ Smart diversification
Don’t put everything in a single strategy. Realistic example: • 60% in long-term holding • 25% in staking and earn • 15% in spot trading
This balances security + yield + opportunities.
🚨 What I do NOT recommend (if you are a beginner): • Leverage in futures (quick liquidations). • Putting everything in meme coins. • Leaving funds idle without using them in Earn.
💬 And you, what strategy do you use the most on Binance? Holding, staking, or trading?
Markets on the rise: Renewed inflows into ETFs and macro-positive signals boost optimism; analysts project Bitcoin heading towards $120,000 and Ethereum towards $4,000.
Ethereum at yearly highs: ETH surpasses $4,000 for the first time in 2025, leading an altcoin rally alongside XRP and Chainlink.
Regulation in China: Chinese authorities urge brokerage firms to stop promoting stablecoins to curb financial instability risks.
Institutional billion in Ethereum: An anonymous entity has accumulated 171,015 ETH (about $667 million) across six new wallets.
New DEX from Coinbase: Coinbase now allows selected users in the U.S. to trade native Base tokens through a decentralized platform.
Ukraine advances in regulation: The parliament plans the initial reading of a crypto regulatory law by the end of August. source : AI
4 Key Strategies in the Crypto World (Exclusive for Beginners on Binance)

🗝️ 4 key strategies in the crypto world (exclusive for beginners on Binance)
If you're just starting on Binance, it's easy to feel lost with so many coins, charts, and options. That's why today I bring you 4 simple yet powerful strategies you can apply from day one to protect your capital and start growing.
1️⃣ Invest for the long term (HODL) • This involves buying solid coins like BTC and ETH and holding them for months or years. • Ideal for avoiding the daily stress of watching prices. • Example: If you bought 100 USDT at $BTC three years ago, today you would have more than double, even with drops in between. 💡 Personal tip: Use flexible savings on Binance to earn interest while you wait.
2️⃣ Average down the purchase price (DCA) • Invest small amounts periodically (for example, 10 USDT every week) regardless of the price. • This reduces the risk of buying everything at a bad time. • Example: If you buy 10 USDT of $ETH every week for 6 months, you smooth out the impact of volatility.
3️⃣ Diversify without overdoing it • Don't put everything into one coin, but don't fill up with 20 projects that you can't follow either. • A good foundation could be: 60% in strong cryptos (BTC, ETH, BNB), 30% in potential altcoins ($SOL , AVAX, ADA), 10% in riskier bets that you research well. 💡 Tip: Follow project news before investing.
4️⃣ Protect yourself from drops • Binance offers options like stop-loss and stablecoins (USDT, USDC) to cut losses and wait for a better moment. • If you see the market entering a downtrend, you can sell part of your portfolio to stablecoins and buy back lower. • Avoid selling in panic: make decisions based on your plan, not on fear.
📌 Personal conclusion: In crypto, the secret isn't in predicting the future, but in having a clear plan and following it. With these 4 strategies, even with little capital, you can build experience, minimize risks, and seize opportunities.
