Moldova blocked a cryptocurrency fund worth $107 million. It was supposed to finance pro-Russian parties.
This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, Mihai Popșoi, as reported by TVP.
According to him, the fund's owners had access to millions of dollars, which they wanted to use to finance protests, violence, and influence parties.
Cryptocurrencies were chosen not by chance: they provide fast, unrestricted payments that are difficult to trace. Popșoi said that this is just one episode of a large-scale intervention campaign by Moscow.
At the same time, the minister noted that Moldova has become more resilient to such schemes than five or six years ago, but disinformation and Russia's schemes still influence the situation inside the country. At the end of November, the spokesman for the Parliament of Moldova, Igor Grosu, stated that Russia invested nearly €400 million in attempts to buy seats in parliament for its allies in the September elections.
Despite this, the party "Action and Solidarity" won. It received 50.16% of the voters' votes.
Already in December, the police of Moldova reported over fifty new searches in the case regarding the preparation of mass riots during the parliamentary elections in the country, Moldovan media NewsMaker wrote. $AXL
Ukrainian exiled oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky stated that an assassination attempt on the figure in the case of embezzlement of funds from the company "Energoatom" Timur Mindich occurred immediately after his arrival in Israel, following his escape from Ukraine. "The attempt on him took place on the 28th in Israel. The attempt failed, and the criminals have been arrested. Thank God that nothing worse happened. A housekeeper was severely injured, but she survived. The criminals confused the house," Kolomoisky stated. Kolomoisky also added that he would reveal the "details" on December 11 or 12 during a court session. UPDATED 17:35 The Embassy of Ukraine in Israel has no information regarding the assassination attempt on Timur Mindich. As reported by Suspilne at the agency, "the Embassy has no information about the mentioned event."
It is likely that Timur Mindich is in Israel. The State Border Guard Service stated that Mindich crossed the border of Ukraine legally, as he has three minor children. $USDT
Banks block "suspicious" clients: who most often falls under the restrictions
An account may be blocked, in particular, in the case of unusual payments or entry into sanction or risk lists. In Ukraine, there are restrictions on card transfers of up to 100 thousand hryvnias per month, and for clients who meet the criteria of "high risk", - 50 thousand hryvnias. Since the new rules were introduced, clients have begun to massively complain about account blockages.
Новий ґаджет Moodring пропонує трейдерам відчувати зміни ринку криптовалют буквально на пальці. Кільце інтегрується з TradingView і передає короткі тактильні та світлові сигнали в момент руху ціни біткоїна чи іншого активу. Рішення орієнтоване на користувачів, яким потрібно стежити за волатильністю без постійного контролю графіків. Moodring реагує на різкі зміни котирувань у реальному часі, тобто є своєрідним індикатором криптовалютного ринку у вигляді аксесуара. Користувач може налаштувати сповіщення під будь-який торговий інструмент, а сигнали подаються навіть тоді, коли смартфон заблокований або трейдер зайнятий іншими справами. Розробники позиціонують це як спосіб зменшити інформаційне навантаження при активній торгівлі, коли десятки алертів на екрані ускладнюють концентрацію. Поява кільця для криптотрейдингу логічно продовжує розвиток ринку смарт-пристроїв. Смарт-кільця вже довели свою функціональність як компактні wearable-рішення: найвідоміший приклад — Oura Ring, який використовується для моніторингу сну, активності та фізіологічних показників. Такі пристрої показали, що на пальці можна розмістити сенсори, акумулятор, модуль зв’язку та підтримувати постійну роботу впродовж дня. Але Moodring – це перший комерційний носимий індикатор, спрямований саме на крипторинок. Паралельно з комерційними рішеннями розвиваються наукові технології, що дозволяють передавати тактильні сигнали на кисть чи пальці. Дослідження ReaWristic продемонструвало можливість адресного хаптичного впливу на великий або вказівний палець через компактний браслет. Система генерувала короткі імпульси, які імітували дотик чи натискання, показуючи перспективи застосування таких технологій поза VR-середовищами.
Moodring переносить ці напрацювання у сферу фінансового ринку, де швидкість реакції часто визначає результат угоди. Тактильні алерти можуть бути корисними для трейдерів, які працюють з високою волатильністю або тримають відкритими кілька позицій одночасно. Миттєвий фізичний сигнал знижує ризик пропустити пробій рівня чи різкий відкат ціни, що особливо актуально для біткоїна. На тлі зростання інтересу до інструментів швидкого реагування та популярності хаптичних технологій виробники розглядають таке рішення як наступний етап розвитку wearable-сегмента для трейдингу. Якщо пристрій покаже стабільну роботу, ринок смарт-кілець може отримати окрему нішу — аксесуари, що дозволяють “відчувати” рухи ринку без участі екрана. $BCH

Negotiations for peace in Ukraine are nearing completion, — US Special Representative Keith Kellogg
Key issues are control over Donbas and Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
US Special Representative Keith Kellogg stated that negotiations for ending the war between Russia and Ukraine are in the final stage.
"If you are military, you know that the last '10 meters' are the hardest. And I think we are now in the last 10 meters to conclude this conflict," Kellogg said at the Ronald Reagan National Defense Forum.
He emphasized that key issues remain control over Donbas and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: "If these two issues are resolved, the rest will fall into place." Kellogg stressed that resolving this "unprecedented war" is challenging. He cited examples: Russia withdrew from Afghanistan after 18 thousand losses, the US — from Vietnam after 58 thousand. "Ukraine and Russia together have lost over 2 million soldiers. Think about it — these are horrific numbers. Therefore, we need to end the conflict." The war of Russia against Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014, longer than both world wars of the 20th century combined. $TRUMP

In the presidential elections in Ukraine in 1991, former communist Leonid Kravchuk won (over 60 percent of the votes), former political prisoner and dissident of the Soviet system Vyacheslav Chornovil (over 20 percent of the votes) came in second after Leonid Kravchuk, and in third place was Levko Lukyanenko (a former political prisoner of the Soviet system). Ukraine, why didn't you choose Vyacheslav Chornovil or Levko Lukyanenko then? What prevented it? How would Ukraine's fate have changed then? Would life have improved for Ukrainians? What would the country's political course have been? $SOL

On December 4, media reported that one of them, Yevhen Ivanov, has already been issued a European arrest warrant. $BCH

Good morning to all of us! Today there is good news. Max Keiser, a supporter of Bitcoin, claims that BTC will set a new ATH (all-time high). This will be aided by Jerome Powell's speech, approximately December 9-10, and a shift in investor sentiment in favor of Bitcoin, which is still not in bear territory.
Experts dismissed the scenario of Bitcoin falling to $35,000
Bitcoin will form a bottom around $55,000, believes analyst nicknamed Sykodelic. He also dismissed predictions of a price drop to $35,000 by 2026.
Earlier, such a scenario was suggested by a crypto investor and trader under the pseudonym Philakone. «It's crazy that people consider this impossible. Bitcoin could drop to $35,000–$40,000 by December 2026. All bear markets lasted about 365 days — exactly from peak to trough — in 2014, 2018, and 2022. And during each of them, cryptocurrencies fell by 78–86%», he noted.

The European Commission officially allowed the Metinvest group to buy the Romanian pipe plant ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Iasi SA from ArcelorMittal. The review took place under a simplified procedure, and the regulator concluded that the concentration does not pose risks to competition, as the combined market share of the companies after the deal remains small.
