Memecoin creator Hawk Tuak spoke about the project's collapse and her trauma
Blogger Hayley Welsh gave an interview regarding the HAWK memecoin crash.
She stated that she was acquitted after an investigation.
According to the girl, she was simply used for promotion.
At the same time, the situation greatly affected her, as she faced threats and harassment.
In December 2024, the Hawk Tuak (HAWK) memecoin crashed, causing significant losses and accusations against its founder, blogger Hayley Welsh. In an interview with Channel 5, she spoke about the project's collapse and how it affected her.
What is this memecoin?
Hawk Tuak (HAWK) entered the market in early December 2024. At one point, its capitalization exceeded $500 million. But within 24 hours it fell to $30 million, and the price collapsed by 99%. According to experts, insiders controlled 80% to 90% or more of the asset's supply.
This led to accusations of a rug pull against both Welsh, under whose brand the asset was promoted, and the developers in general. At the same time, the blogger faced scrutiny from both the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, according to her, the FBI.
In March 2025, Welsh's attorney noted that the SEC had closed the case without a guilty verdict. Later, the girl herself said that the FBI had also closed the investigation after the review.
At the same time, the blogger believes that the real losses from the project's collapse were relatively small — about $200,000.
Her vision of the situation
"From my perspective, I was just talked into doing something I didn't understand at all. People are giving me too much credit for this crypto scandal. I'm almost 22 years old — do you really think I could have pulled this off by myself?" she said in an interview.
According to Welsh, “some people” approached her with the idea of using her brand to launch a fan token. It was positioned as a way to engage with the audience and also supposedly serve as a tool for charity.
At the same time, she did not manage the project herself:
"I didn't control this token. I don't understand how it works at all. I just allowed my face and name to be used, and everyone else did the rest."
She learned about the accusations against her and the collapse of the memecoin from TikTok:
“On the day of the launch, I was on a podcast in California. The person who was working on the token was pacing the room, nervous. I thought, how normal is this? […] I open TikTok and see that I am already being “put in jail”. I asked myself: what did I even do?”
The consequences of the situation for her were devastating:
“It’s really traumatic. I didn’t leave my house for months. […] I started getting death threats. People wrote that I owed them money. The hardest thing is seeing people who invested their hard-earned money and just lost everything. It’s a terrible feeling.”
Welsh admitted that she was partly to blame, as she should have done better. She still maintains social media accounts, but only "for fun."
At the same time, the blogger has given up OnlyFans and is even considering returning to her regular job. However, she did not say anything about compensation for her losses during the interview.

Oil shock: Iran-US war threatens AI industry development – WTO
High energy prices may slow down investment in AI.
The conflict in the Middle East is increasing pressure on the global economy.
Global trade is already showing signs of slowing in 2026.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has warned that a prolonged period of high oil prices could limit the development of the AI market. The main risk factor is the conflict in the Middle East, which affects the cost of energy and fertilizers.
WTO Chief Economist Robert Steiger noted that the AI boom is directly dependent on energy availability. He said that if high prices persist throughout the year, this could curb investment growth in the sector.
He emphasized that the development of AI requires significant computing power and, accordingly, energy resources. In the context of rising prices, this increases companies' costs and may reduce the pace of implementation of new technologies.
Pressure on trade and investment
In its Global Trade Outlook report, the WTO said the conflict in the Middle East had become a key risk to the global economy, with particular attention being paid to potential disruptions in oil and fertilizer supplies.
According to experts, they are the ones that can affect production and food markets.
The organization also noted the uncertainty surrounding investment in AI. According to Steiger, this investment is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of large companies, and the technology itself has not yet proven its sustainable economic effectiveness.
At the same time, the sector remains a significant driver of the economy. According to the WTO, about 70% of the growth in investment in North America in 2025 will be in artificial intelligence-related goods.
Despite tightening US trade policy and rising tariffs, global merchandise trade increased by 4.6% in 2025. However, a sharp slowdown is expected in 2026, to 1.9%.
The WTO warns that a prolonged period of high energy prices could further reduce trade growth by 0.5%. This would also increase risks to food security.
According to the organization, disruptions in supplies from the Persian Gulf countries could cause a chain reaction in global supply chains.
Experts also note that the current geopolitical situation is increasing pressure on the international trading system. At the same time, the influence of the WTO itself is weakening against the backdrop of protectionist policies and violation of agreements by the largest economies.
As we recall, we wrote that the protracted conflict between the US and Iran could be a factor in Bitcoin's growth. This was stated by Mark Connors, a macro strategist and founder of the consulting company Risk Dimensions.

Experto: El prolongado conflicto EE. UU.-Irán podría apoyar el crecimiento de Bitcoin
El estratega macro Mark Connors dijo que el conflicto prolongado entre EE. UU. e Irán podría apoyar el crecimiento de Bitcoin.
En su opinión, el gasto militar y el aumento de la deuda nacional están expandiendo la liquidez y presionando al dólar.
Una posible reducción de tasas por parte de la Fed también podría crear condiciones favorables para la primera criptomoneda.

Bitcoin only has 1 million new coins left — why will they be mined for over 100 years?
Bitcoin has crossed the 20 million coin mark.
The asset exceeded 95% of the issue — analysts explained its long-term value.
The last million will be mined by 2140.
The Bitcoin network has reached one of the key milestones in its history - the volume of coins mined has exceeded 20 million BTC, which means the release of more than 95.2% of the maximum supply of 21 million coins.
At the same time, the last million bitcoins will be mined much more slowly — over a period of approximately 114 years, until approximately 2140.
Over 20 million BTC have already been mined
According to on-chain data, the historic milestone was reached at block #939,999 approximately 17 years, two months, and one week after the creation of the genesis block in January 2009.
The block was mined by the Foundry USA mining pool.
At this moment:
less than 1 million BTC left for future mining;
the current block reward is 3.125 BTC after the halving in April 2024;
On average, miners create about 144 blocks per day, which equals about 450 BTC of daily emission (previously about 900 BTC).
However, 230.09 BTC remain permanently unavailable due to the nature of early transaction scripts, including the genesis block reward. The circulating supply also does not include coins lost by users due to loss of private keys.
Why will the last million be mined over a century?
Bitcoin's emission schedule is set in code created by its anonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. New coins are issued as a reward to miners for validating transactions and creating blocks.
The initial reward was 50 BTC per block, but:
every 210,000 blocks it is halved;
Halving occurs approximately once every four years.
After the halving on April 20, 2024, the reward decreased from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. The next reduction is expected around April 11, 2028, when the reward will decrease to 1.5625 BTC.
Thomas Perfumo, global economist at Kraken crypto exchange, explained the significance of this model:
“This programmable supply constraint, along with predictable issuance and decentralized architecture, is what sets Bitcoin apart from competing forms of money and asset classes.”
He also noted that in the short term, the price of Bitcoin depends on macroeconomic factors — liquidity, business cycles, and investor sentiment — but in the long term, limited supply and growing global adoption play a key role.
A challenge for miners
The gradual reduction in emission creates economic pressure on the mining industry. With each halving, block reward revenues are reduced, so in the future, transaction fees should become the main source of income.
Currently, their share is relatively small. According to analysts' estimates , using the example of the Riot Platforms miner:
the breakeven point for electricity costs alone is around $74,000 per BTC;
when considering equipment, infrastructure, cooling, and financing, the real cost can exceed $100,000 per coin.
Because of this, some miners are already operating with minimal margins or even at a loss.
Let us recall that the development of the Bitcoin network has been rapid in r$BTC ecent years. Over the past 17 years, the price of Bitcoin has exceeded $125,000, setting a new historical high.#
Despite the long-term scarcity model, short-term price dynamics remain dependent on macroeconomic factors. In particular, on March 9, 2026, the Bitcoin price temporarily fell below $66,000.

Sanctions evasion via cryptocurrencies has increased by almost 700% — Chainalysis
Analysts have recorded a sharp increase in digital asset transactions related to sanctioned entities.
The main role in such transactions is played by states, in particular Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
The share of illegal transactions in the overall crypto economy remains below 1%.
The volume of cryptocurrency transactions related to circumventing international sanctions increased sharply in 2025. This is the conclusion of analysts at Chainalysis in a new report on sanctions and digital assets.
According to their data, addresses linked to sanctioned entities received about $154 billion in cryptocurrency. This figure increased by 694% compared to the previous year and became the main factor in the growth of illicit activity on the blockchain.
States are actively using crypto infrastructure
Analysts note that digital assets are increasingly becoming part of the financial infrastructure of states under sanctions. This applies not only to the hiding of funds, but also to foreign trade settlements and the purchase of dual-use equipment.
Russia, Iran, and North Korea are particularly prominent, with Chainalysis reporting that these countries are developing their own schemes to use cryptocurrencies to circumvent restrictions and fund government programs.
In particular, the Russian-linked stablecoin A7A5, pegged to the ruble, processed over $93 billion in transactions in less than a year.
Analysts believe that it has become a key tool for international settlements for companies under sanctions. It is actively used to circumvent restrictions.
Iran and North Korea activity
Iran is also actively integrating cryptocurrencies into its economic strategy.
According to the report, addresses associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps received over $3 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025. This accounted for more than half of all revenue from Iranian services by the end of the year.
North Korea, for its part, remains one of the largest sources of cybercrime in the crypto industry. In 2025, regime-linked hackers stole over $2 billion in digital assets, a record for the country.
Despite the sharp increase in sanctions-related transactions, analysts emphasize that the majority of cryptocurrency transactions remain legal. According to Chainalysis, the share of illegal transactions in the total crypto market volume remains less than 1%.
At the same time, experts warn that states are increasingly using blockchain infrastructure for geopolitical purposes. This is forcing regulators to tighten control over digital asset trading platforms and expand sanctions lists related to digital assets.

Despite the sharp increase in sanctions-related transactions, analysts emphasize that the majority of cryptocurrency transactions remain legal. According to Chainalysis, the share of illegal transactions in the total crypto market volume remains less than 1%.
At the same time, experts warn that states are increasingly using blockchain infrastructure for geopolitical purposes. This is forcing regulators to tighten control over digital asset trading platforms and expand sanctions lists related to digital assets.

Bitcoin has become the main choice of AI over fiat — study
The study showed the dominance of Bitcoin among AI and the rejection of traditional currencies.
Analysts analyzed a selection of AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax.
Almost 80% of responses related to choosing Bitcoin as a store of value.
Bitcoin Policy Institute analysts tested 36 artificial intelligence (AI) models as autonomous economic agents and forced them to choose financial instruments in 9,072 scenarios. The results showed a clear trend: digital assets, including Bitcoin, dominate traditional currencies.
Bitcoin as the main choice of AI
In the study, models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and MiniMax chose between different forms of money.
Key results:
22 out of 36 models chose the first cryptocurrency as their primary financial instrument;
no model chose Fiat as the preferred option;
91% of respondents preferred digital money over traditional money;
in 48.3% of cases, Bitcoin became the overall favorite.
The use of Bitcoin as a store of value was particularly telling: 79.1% of responses in the relevant scenarios were for Bitcoin.
The models justified the choice with fixed emission, independence from institutions, and the ability to independently store assets.
The role of stablecoins and the new financial model
Despite Bitcoin's dominance, stablecoins have taken a key niche in payments, with Bitcoin receiving 36% of this segment and fiat only 5.1%.
The study highlights:
"Stablecoins dominate payments with a 53.2% share, while Bitcoin is used primarily as a store of value."
This formed a clear pattern:
Bitcoin — as “digital gold”;
Stablecoins as a payment instrument.
In addition, the AI demonstrated unexpected behavior, where in 86 cases the models independently suggested using energy or computing resources (kWh, GPU hours) as money.
Why AI is abandoning fiat
Fiat currencies received only 9.2% of responses and were never the primary choice. The report highlighted:
“90.8% of responses preferred digital instruments […] over traditional fiat.”
Interestingly, the level of “intelligence” of the model affects the choice. For example, more advanced models are more likely to choose Bitcoin, and in the Anthropic line this figure increased from 41% to over 90%.
Differences between developers have also been noted:
Anthropic — 68% in favor of Bitcoin;
OpenAI — only 26%;
others are between these values.

El fundador de Wikipedia declara que Bitcoin es un fracaso y predice una caída de precio a $10,000
Jimmy Wales hizo una predicción sobre Bitcoin.
Él cree que el activo no es la moneda del futuro.
En su opinión, para 2050 su precio caerá significativamente — a $10,000 o incluso menos.
El fundador de Wikipedia y empresario de internet Jimmy Wales ha compartido sus pensamientos sobre Bitcoin, diciendo que el activo ha fallado completamente como moneda y medio de ahorro.
Al mismo tiempo, él cree que aquellos que están seguros de que Bitcoin caerá a cero están equivocados. Continuará existiendo porque su diseño es lo suficientemente fiable y vulnerable solo a "factores imprevistos", como un ataque del 51%.
