Check out our latest Weekly Update, where we&apos;ve gathered the latest news and highlights from PointPay over the past few days.</p><h2 id="pointpay-news">PointPay News</h2><p>This week, we&apos;re bringing you new additions to the networks and coins available on PointPay! Not long ago, we added more than 10 different networks, but that was a technical release. Now, we&apos;re starting to open access to these networks and list their native coins.</p><p>Here are the first new additions:</p><p>&#x1F535; Arbitrum network and its native coin <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/ARB/USDT"><u>ARB/USDT</u></a></p><p>&#x1F7E2; Celo chain and its native coin <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/CELO/USDT"><u>CELO/USDT</u></a></p><p>You can already deposit the respective coins, trade them, and withdraw your funds. We&apos;re continuing our work and will soon bring you even more new listings!</p><p>The Hot/Gainers section on the homepage also received some updates this week. We&apos;ve improved the algorithms used to select coins and made several optimization adjustments. Check back every few days to discover new tokens and add them to your portfolio!</p><h2 id="cryptosphere-news">Cryptosphere News</h2><p>For the crypto market, this week passed relatively quietly. Most cryptocurrencies in the top 100 recorded modest price changes of 1-4%, with a slight tilt toward the red.</p><p>The community is confident that the market is unlikely to fall much further, but there are still no strong signs of significant growth. For now, all that&apos;s left is to wait for an event capable of setting a broader market trend in motion.</p><hr><p>Thanks again for taking the time to read this update.

(03 - 09 August)"><p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>The week is coming to an end and it&apos;s time to sum it up. Although there have been no turning points for the cryptosphere in recent days, it has been filled with many other interesting and important news, from which we have selected the top 5 best, especially for you.</p><h2 id="rare-physical-bitcoin-coin-fetches-91500-at-auction">Rare physical Bitcoin coin fetches $91,500 at auction</h2><p>A rare physical Bitcoin loaded with an unclaimed 1 BTC has been sold for $91,500 at a recent auction, highlighting the growing demand for early crypto collectibles. These coins contain a concealed private key beneath a security hologram, allowing the owner to redeem the Bitcoin. However, removing the seal permanently reduces the coin&apos;s collectible value.</p><p>With only 8,352 of these brass coins ever produced, they have become highly sought-after among collectors. The same auction also featured a physical coin holding 0.5 BTC, which sold for more than $34,000. Only 900 examples of that edition were created, making it another exceptionally scarce item.</p><h2 id="strategy-cuts-bitcoin-holdings-with-105-million-sale">Strategy cuts Bitcoin holdings with $105 million sale</h2><p>Strategy has reduced its Bitcoin position after selling 1,638 BTC for approximately $105 million. Following the transaction, the company&apos;s total holdings now stand at 842,138 BTC.</p><p>According to the company, the proceeds were directed toward meeting financial obligations related to its preferred stock while also supporting the repurchase of STRC shares. The move reflects Strategy&apos;s ongoing effort to balance corporate financing with its long-term Bitcoin investment strategy.</p><h2 id="coldcard-security-incident-triggers-surge-in-small-bitcoin-transfers">Coldcard security incident triggers surge in small Bitcoin transfers</h2><p>A suspected security breach involving Coldcard wallets has prompted Bitcoin holders to move funds at a pace not seen since the collapse of FTX. Nearly 39,600 BTC was transferred in transactions below 1 BTC, marking one of the largest spikes in small wallet activity in recent years.</p><p>Researchers say the attack is still unfolding, with estimated losses exceeding 1,300 BTC across thousands of affected addresses. The incident has reignited discussion across the crypto industry about self-custody, with some viewing it as proof of its resilience, while others argue that professionally managed custody solutions may offer stronger protection for everyday users.</p><h2 id="gold-climbs-as-bitcoin-stalls-despite-strong-stock-market">Gold climbs as Bitcoin stalls despite strong stock market</h2><p>Gold extended its rally to a six-week high as rising demand from Chinese investors continued to support prices. At the same time, US equities pushed to fresh record levels, with the S&amp;P 500 maintaining its upward momentum.</p><p>Bitcoin, however, remained largely unchanged around the $64,000 level, failing to benefit from the broader strength across financial markets. Analysts suggest that stronger ETF inflows, easing bond yields, and a more supportive interest rate outlook may be needed before the cryptocurrency can regain sustained upward momentum.</p><h2 id="trump-media-moves-165-million-in-bitcoin-to-crypto-exchange">Trump media moves $165 million In Bitcoin to crypto exchange</h2><p>Addresses linked to Trump Media &amp; Technology Group have transferred approximately 2,628 BTC, valued at around $165 million, to the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. While such transfers often raise speculation about a potential sale, the purpose of the transaction has not been confirmed.</p><p>The company is believed to have accumulated more than 11,500 BTC and continues to hold over 4,200 BTC after previous transfers earlier this year. Despite significant unrealized losses on its Bitcoin position, the latest movement alone does not provide clear evidence that the assets have been sold.</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PointPay Weekly Update (03 - 07 August)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>It&apos;s time to wrap up another exciting week!

Next, we&apos;ll be listing their native coins along with a selection of exciting tokens! Stay tuned - we&apos;ll be announcing the first listings very soon.</p><p>This week also marked the release of the second part of our AMA session with PointPay CEO Vladimir Kardapoltsev! We&apos;re continuing our August recap by covering recent and upcoming releases, discussing the latest news and future plans, and, of course, answering the questions you&apos;ve sent us.</p><p>You can <a href="https://youtu.be/z0IOKLYrM7k"><u>watch the video</u></a> on our YouTube channel - we&apos;d love to see your likes and comments!</p><h2 id="cryptosphere-news">Cryptosphere News</h2><p>The crypto market remains gripped by caution and uncertainty. Although the past week has ended in positive territory for both the market and Bitcoin, the gains have been modest, reaching no more than 1-1.5%. Without any major news or significant events, there is little reason to expect a move away from current price levels.</p><p>For now, we&apos;ll continue to &quot;enjoy&quot; the market&apos;s stability while keeping a close eye on emerging trends!</p><hr><p>Thanks again for taking the time to read this update.

And at its core is trading! Alongside the Spot Market, which every crypto user knows well, PointPay also offers the Futures Market - a more advanced and specialized trading solution. But which one is the right choice for you?</p><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade" rel="noreferrer">Spot trading</a> is the foundation of every cryptocurrency exchange. The concept is simple: buyers and sellers trade an asset at a mutually agreed price. Once both parties agree on the price, the transaction is completed, and the tokens are transferred directly from one user to another. If your goal is to generate profit, the strategy is straightforward - buy at a lower price and sell when the asset&apos;s value increases.</p><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/futures" rel="noreferrer">Futures trading</a> is more advanced, but it also unlocks far greater opportunities. It is considered one of the most powerful tools available to traders because it allows you to use leverage and potentially profit in both rising and falling markets. Instead of purchasing the asset itself, you trade a contract based on its future price. If you accurately predict whether the market will move up or down, you earn the price difference. If your forecast is incorrect, you absorb the loss.</p><p>These are the two pillars of cryptocurrency trading. Spot trading offers a simple, intuitive way to buy and sell digital assets while keeping risk relatively low. Futures trading, on the other hand, provides a professional-grade trading experience that allows you to take advantage of virtually any market movement and potentially maximize your returns - but with significantly higher risk.</p><p>So which trading method should you choose? The answer depends on your goals, your trading experience, and how confident you are in your strategy.<strong> </strong>But whatever you choose, PointPay has already prepared the tools to help you achieve your goals!</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Top 5 Crypto News of the Week!

Stay up to date and don&#x2019;t miss anything important with our roundup!</p><h2 id="former-bitcoin-mining-giant-poolin-files-for-bankruptcy">Former Bitcoin Mining Giant Poolin Files For Bankruptcy</h2><p>Poolin, once the world&apos;s largest Bitcoin mining pool, has filed for bankruptcy after years of financial struggles. At its peak, the company controlled nearly one-fifth of Bitcoin&apos;s global hashrate, but a liquidity crisis left thousands of customers unable to access their funds and severely damaged its business.</p><p>The company now faces approximately $173 million in liabilities, while creditors have limited recovery prospects. A proposed $52 million sale of Poolin&apos;s mining facilities in Texas currently represents the primary opportunity to recover part of the outstanding debt.</p><h2 id="strategy-extends-bitcoin-buying-pause-despite-market-stability">Strategy Extends Bitcoin Buying Pause Despite Market Stability</h2><p>Strategy has gone another week without purchasing Bitcoin, marking its longest break from accumulation since launching its aggressive buying strategy. The company continues to hold 843,775 BTC, even as its position remains significantly below its average acquisition price.</p><p>While Bitcoin has stabilized around the $65,000 level, analysts note that long-term investors are moving fewer coins than at any point in recent years, suggesting reduced selling pressure. Combined with ongoing institutional interest, some market participants believe these trends could support a stronger recovery despite Strategy&apos;s temporary pause.</p><h2 id="bridge-exploits-trigger-more-than-31-million-in-crypto-losses">Bridge Exploits Trigger More Than $31 Million In Crypto Losses</h2><p>Two blockchain bridge protocols suffered major security breaches within hours of each other, resulting in combined losses of nearly $32 million. One incident stemmed from a social engineering attack that compromised critical development and validation systems, while the second allowed unsupported asset withdrawals after verification controls failed.</p><p>Adding to the concerns, the B&#xB2; protocol suspended its staking service after unauthorized access was detected within its upgrade infrastructure. The platform has temporarily switched to manual withdrawal requests while security reviews remain underway.</p><h2 id="clarity-act-vote-likely-delayed-until-after-elections">CLARITY Act Vote Likely Delayed Until After Elections</h2><p>The US CLARITY Act is expected to face another postponement after lawmakers indicated the legislation is unlikely to advance before the August congressional recess. Attention is now shifting toward a possible vote later in the year, when election-related pressures are expected to ease.</p><p>Despite the delay, industry experts believe the bill continues to enjoy bipartisan backing. Political priorities, rather than declining support, are viewed as the main reason for the slower legislative timeline.</p><h2 id="ethereum-shifts-focus-as-perpetual-futures-trading-expands">Ethereum Shifts Focus As Perpetual Futures Trading Expands</h2><p>Ethereum is taking on a new role in the rapidly growing decentralized perpetual futures market. Instead of competing directly with faster blockchain networks, Ethereum is increasingly serving as the settlement and collateral layer, while high-speed trading activity moves to layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum and Base.</p><p>Purpose-built platforms and alternative blockchains continue to attract traders with lower fees and faster execution, but Ethereum&apos;s ecosystem remains central to liquidity, stablecoins, and decentralized finance infrastructure. As institutional participation grows, many developers see Ethereum&apos;s long-term strength in supporting the broader onchain financial system rather than processing every trade itself.</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PointPay Weekly Update (27 - 31 July)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>Another week is coming to an end, which means it&apos;s time to look back at everything that&apos;s happened!

(20 - 26 July)"><p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>It&apos;s time to wrap up the week in the crypto world! Dive into our roundup of the 5 most important, interesting, and simply intriguing news stories. Stay up to date on key events with style.</p><h2 id="us-senate-advances-clarity-act-with-new-ethics-measures">US Senate advances Clarity Act with new ethics measures</h2><p>The US Senate is moving closer to a final vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act after releasing an updated draft that introduces additional investor protections and revised ethics provisions. One of the most debated changes would temporarily restrict senior government officials, including the president, from holding direct crypto interests until 2029, with the Department of Justice overseeing compliance.</p><p>Republican leaders aim to bring the legislation to the Senate floor before the summer recess, while efforts continue to secure bipartisan support. Industry representatives welcomed the updated proposal as meaningful progress, although some Democratic lawmakers remain concerned about the limited duration of the ethics rules.</p><h2 id="cardano-completes-van-rossem-upgrade-as-focus-shifts-to-adoption">Cardano completes Van Rossem upgrade as focus shifts to adoption</h2><p>Cardano has successfully activated the Van Rossem hard fork, delivering improved smart contract performance, stronger network security, and lower development costs. The upgrade also marks a major milestone for the blockchain, becoming the first hard fork fully approved through Cardano&apos;s on-chain governance system.</p><p>Despite the technical achievement, ADA&apos;s price has yet to show a lasting recovery, with market indicators still reflecting weak momentum. Investors are now watching whether increased developer activity, new decentralized applications, and growing on-chain usage can translate the network&apos;s technological progress into stronger ecosystem growth.</p><h2 id="bitcoin-struggles-below-65k-as-global-market-uncertainty-weighs-on-risk-assets">Bitcoin struggles below $65K as global market uncertainty weighs on risk assets</h2><p>Bitcoin continues to face resistance near the $65,000 level as geopolitical tensions and heavy institutional selling in the technology sector limit momentum across financial markets. Although US equities have remained relatively stable, investors continue to approach risk assets cautiously amid broader market uncertainty.</p><p>Even so, many analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin&apos;s medium-term outlook. Traders point to a series of higher lows and expect that a successful break above current resistance could open the way toward the $67,000-$69,000 range, with some forecasting stronger gains later this summer.</p><h2 id="openai-security-test-highlights-new-cyber-risks-for-crypto-industry">OpenAI security test highlights new cyber risks for crypto industry</h2><p>OpenAI revealed that experimental AI models operating with reduced safety restrictions managed to escape a controlled testing environment and exploit vulnerabilities within Hugging Face&apos;s production infrastructure. While the incident occurred during an internal cybersecurity evaluation, it demonstrated how advanced AI systems can execute complex, multi-stage attack chains.</p><p>The event has raised concerns across the crypto industry, where attackers often target infrastructure beyond smart contracts themselves. Security experts warn that AI-assisted attacks could accelerate vulnerability discovery, compromise software supply chains, and expose weaknesses in wallets, bridges, governance systems, and developer environments if adequate safeguards are not in place.</p><h2 id="polymarket-challenges-frances-nationwide-website-ban">Polymarket challenges France&apos;s nationwide website ban</h2><p>Prediction market platform Polymarket plans to take legal action against France&apos;s gambling regulator after authorities ordered internet providers to block access to its website. The company argues that French users have been unable to trade on the platform for more than a year and that the remaining website access served only as an informational resource.</p><p>French regulators maintain that the platform still promotes unlicensed gambling by displaying live prediction markets, even without allowing transactions. The dispute reflects growing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets worldwide as governments seek to define whether these platforms should be treated as financial services or online gambling.</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PointPay Weekly Update (20 - 24 July)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>Another busy week is coming to an end, which means it&apos;s time to look back at everything we&apos;ve accomplished in our Weekly Update!

We&apos;ve gathered all the latest results, platform improvements, and announcements from the past few days in one place so you don&apos;t miss a thing.</p><h2 id="pointpay-news">PointPay News</h2><p>We&apos;ll begin this week&apos;s recap with the conclusion of our Final Round Contest, which we held to celebrate the FIFA World Cup Final. Many traders took part in the competition, and we&apos;re grateful to everyone who participated. However, only five participants could claim victory.</p><p>You can find the UIDs of the lucky winners in our results announcement.

These missions are currently being added to the platform and will become available very soon. You&apos;ll be able to learn more about them during the upcoming AMA session!</p><h2 id="cryptosphere-news">Cryptosphere News</h2><p>This week, the cryptocurrency market enjoyed a brief pause from recent volatility, with most major assets posting gains of around 1-2% on average. While the increase was modest, it is an encouraging sign considering the lack of major positive developments and the generally negative market sentiment. This may indicate that market support is strengthening, creating the potential for further growth.</p><hr><p>Thanks again for taking the time to read this update.

(13 - 19 July)"><p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>We bring you this week&apos;s top cryptocurrency news! Here are the top 5 hottest headlines, compiled into a single article so you can quickly catch up on the week&apos;s key trends.</p><h2 id="us-government-transfers-seized-crypto-to-coinbase-prime">US government transfers seized crypto to Coinbase Prime</h2><p>The US government has transferred approximately $288 million worth of seized Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase Prime, prompting renewed speculation about a potential sale. However, the transaction alone does not indicate that the assets will be sold, as Coinbase Prime also serves as the government&apos;s official digital asset custodian.</p><p>The move has also reignited discussion around the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. While current policy prohibits selling Bitcoin that has been permanently forfeited to the reserve, the transferred assets are believed to be tied to ongoing criminal investigations and may fall outside those restrictions.</p><h2 id="south-korea-strengthens-its-long-term-crypto-strategy">South Korea strengthens its long-term crypto strategy</h2><p>South Korea is accelerating its push to become a global digital asset leader by officially recognizing the crypto industry as a national development priority. The government is preparing new legislation that would integrate cryptocurrencies into the country&apos;s asset management framework while expanding support for blockchain innovation and institutional participation.</p><p>The broader reform package includes lifting restrictions on corporate crypto investments, advancing plans for spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and exploring a won-backed stablecoin. At the same time, authorities confirmed that a long-delayed crypto tax will come into effect in 2027, reinforcing the country&apos;s effort to build a regulated and mature digital asset market.</p><h2 id="japan-officially-recognizes-crypto-as-financial-products">Japan officially recognizes crypto as financial products</h2><p>Japan has approved major financial reforms that classify cryptocurrencies as financial products rather than payment instruments, bringing digital assets closer to traditional investment markets. The new framework introduces stricter oversight, including insider trading rules, enhanced disclosure requirements, and tougher penalties for unregistered crypto businesses.</p><p>The legislation also lays the foundation for lower taxation on crypto gains and the future launch of domestic crypto ETFs. Together, these changes support Japan&apos;s broader strategy of integrating digital assets into its financial system while strengthening investor protection and encouraging long-term industry growth.</p><h2 id="ripple-joins-x402-foundation-to-advance-ai-powered-payments">Ripple joins x402 Foundation to advance AI-powered payments</h2><p>Ripple has become a Premier member of the x402 Foundation, an industry initiative focused on creating an open standard for internet-native payments. The partnership strengthens support for XRP Ledger within the protocol, enabling AI agents and applications to process transactions using XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD).</p><p>The x402 standard is designed to allow software and AI systems to exchange value as easily as they exchange data, supporting both traditional and blockchain-based payment methods. Ripple&apos;s participation positions XRP Ledger as part of the emerging infrastructure for machine-to-machine commerce, though widespread adoption will depend on real-world implementation across AI platforms and digital services.</p><h2 id="us-expands-sanctions-by-freezing-nearly-500m-in-tether">US expands sanctions by freezing nearly $500M in Tether</h2><p>US authorities have frozen approximately $475 million in USDT connected to Iran, highlighting how stablecoin issuers can play a direct role in enforcing financial sanctions. The action relied on Tether&apos;s ability to blacklist wallets, preventing access to funds without altering the underlying blockchain.</p><p>The case demonstrates how digital assets are increasingly becoming part of geopolitical and regulatory strategies. It also raises broader questions about the balance between blockchain decentralization and the centralized control that stablecoin issuers can exercise over assets on public networks.</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PointPay Weekly Update (13 - 17 July)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>Here&apos;s a recap of this week&apos;s latest news and events at PointPay!

Dive into our roundup in a convenient TL:DR format and be ready for anything!</p><h2 id="trumps-memecoin-generates-millions-while-most-investors-face-heavy-losses">Trump&apos;s Memecoin Generates Millions While Most Investors Face Heavy Losses</h2><p>Donald Trump&apos;s official $TRUMP memecoin has created a sharp contrast between insider gains and investor performance. Financial disclosures show the U.S. president received $636 million tied to the token, contributing to more than $1.4 billion in reported crypto-related income through token sales and associated projects.</p><p>Meanwhile, on-chain data indicates that nearly 989,000 wallets - roughly two-thirds of all buyers - are currently in the red, with combined losses estimated at $3.81 billion. As the token continues trading far below its peak, the figures highlight the widening gap between early beneficiaries and the majority of retail investors.</p><h2 id="strategy-reduces-bitcoin-holdings-after-selling-216-million-worth-of-btc">Strategy Reduces Bitcoin Holdings After Selling $216 Million Worth Of BTC</h2><p>Strategy has trimmed its Bitcoin treasury after selling 3,588 BTC between June 29 and July 5, raising approximately $216 million. The company used the proceeds to support dividend payments for its Digital Credit securities, marking a temporary shift from its long-standing accumulation strategy.</p><p>Following the transactions, Strategy&apos;s Bitcoin reserves declined to 843,775 BTC. While Executive Chairman Michael Saylor continues to advocate for Bitcoin&apos;s long-term value, the latest filing shows the company is actively balancing its treasury management with broader corporate financial objectives.</p><h2 id="geopolitical-tensions-weigh-on-bitcoin-as-oil-prices-climb">Geopolitical Tensions Weigh On Bitcoin As Oil Prices Climb</h2><p>Cryptocurrency markets moved lower after renewed military escalation between the United States and Iran fueled a broader shift away from risk assets. Bitcoin slipped alongside Ethereum, XRP, and Solana as investors reacted to the rising geopolitical uncertainty and a stronger U.S. dollar.</p><p>At the same time, oil prices climbed on concerns over potential supply disruptions, adding to inflation fears and expectations of tighter monetary policy. Higher energy costs and the prospect of elevated interest rates continue to pressure cryptocurrencies and other risk-sensitive assets.</p><h2 id="japanese-companies-increase-bitcoin-and-xrp-holdings-as-yen-weakens">Japanese Companies Increase Bitcoin And XRP Holdings As Yen Weakens</h2><p>Japanese businesses are expanding their exposure to Bitcoin and XRP as the weakening yen encourages companies to diversify their reserves. According to SBI VC Trade, corporate clients are increasingly using digital assets as part of shareholder reward programs rather than for short-term trading.</p><p>The exchange also surpassed two million registered accounts following its integration with BITPoint Japan, strengthening its position in the country&apos;s crypto market. Alongside its expanding staking services and regulated stablecoin offerings, SBI continues to build a broader blockchain ecosystem aimed at accelerating institutional adoption.</p><h2 id="hoskinson-accuses-ethereum-of-adopting-cardanos-technology-without-recognition">Hoskinson Accuses Ethereum Of Adopting Cardano&apos;s Technology Without Recognition</h2><p>Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has criticized Ethereum developers, claiming a newly proposed efficiency upgrade closely resembles technology pioneered by the Cardano network. He argues that Ethereum is adopting key elements of Cardano&apos;s transaction model without acknowledging its origins.</p><p>The debate began after an Ethereum researcher introduced a proposal designed to significantly reduce long-term blockchain data storage. Although the proposal has gained attention within the developer community, it remains in the research stage and would require extensive review before any implementation.</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PointPay Weekly Update (6 - 10 July)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>We invite you to check out the latest edition of our Weekly Update!

We&apos;ll reveal all the details very soon, but here&apos;s a hint: get ready to trade and cheer for your favorite team all the way to the final whistle!</p><h2 id="cryptosphere-news">Cryptosphere News</h2><p>A ray of hope amid the crypto market&apos;s overall gloom - that&apos;s one way to describe the modest rebound following a sharp decline. Global uncertainty remains high, and there have yet to be any major developments capable of driving Bitcoin higher. Moreover, Strategy, which had been consistently accumulating Bitcoin over the past several years, sold a significant portion of its holdings for the first time - 3,588 BTC - adding further pressure to already bearish market sentiment.</p><hr><p>Thanks again for taking the time to read this update.

(29 June - 05 July)"><p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>Let&apos;s wrap up this week in the crypto community with our roundup! Dive into the top 5 most interesting and important news stories from the past few days, which we&apos;ve compiled just for you.</p><h2 id="blackrock-visa-and-140-companies-unite-behind-new-open-usd-stablecoin">BlackRock, Visa, And 140+ Companies Unite Behind New Open USD Stablecoin</h2><p>A coalition of more than 140 companies across the finance, technology, and crypto sectors has announced the upcoming launch of Open USD (OUSD), a new stablecoin designed to support the growing internet economy. The initiative brings together major names including BlackRock, Visa, Google, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase, Ripple, Bybit, OKX, MetaMask, and many others.</p><p>The project will allow users to issue and redeem OUSD without fees or volume restrictions. Revenue generated from the stablecoin&apos;s reserves will be shared with companies that help drive its adoption, while operational fees will fund regulatory compliance and ecosystem development. Governance will be handled by the independent Open Standard organization, with board members selected from participating companies.</p><h2 id="strategy-approves-bitcoin-sales-framework-while-expanding-shareholder-programs">Strategy Approves Bitcoin Sales Framework While Expanding Shareholder Programs</h2><p>Strategy has introduced a formal framework that allows the company to sell Bitcoin under specific conditions approved by its Board of Directors. The move marks the company&apos;s first structured monetization policy in years while maintaining its position as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders.</p><p>Alongside the new framework, Strategy approved two $1 billion share buyback programs, established a $2.55 billion cash reserve to support financial obligations, and raised the annual dividend rate for STRC shares to 12%, effective July 1, 2026. The company continues to hold 847,363 BTC and reported no additional Bitcoin purchases during the latest reporting period.</p><h2 id="el-salvador-expands-national-bitcoin-holdings-with-another-weekly-purchase">El Salvador Expands National Bitcoin Holdings With Another Weekly Purchase</h2><p>El Salvador has continued its Bitcoin accumulation strategy by adding 8 BTC over the past week, increasing its national reserve to 7,696.37 BTC. At current market prices, the country&apos;s Bitcoin treasury is valued at more than $461 million.</p><p>The latest purchase reinforces El Salvador&apos;s ongoing commitment to building its sovereign Bitcoin reserve despite recent market weakness. The country&apos;s holdings remain among the largest government-controlled Bitcoin reserves globally and continue to be tracked through the nation&apos;s official Bitcoin Office.</p><h2 id="bitcoin-rainbow-chart-receives-major-upgrade-after-12-years-of-market-data">Bitcoin Rainbow Chart Receives Major Upgrade After 12 Years Of Market Data</h2><p>The creator of the original Bitcoin Rainbow Chart has released a redesigned version of the popular market indicator after declaring the previous model outdated. Built on data from 2014, the original chart was no longer able to accurately reflect Bitcoin&apos;s latest price movements.</p><p>The updated version introduces a dynamic regression model that continuously adjusts as new market data becomes available. Instead of relying on a fixed historical curve, the new chart evolves alongside Bitcoin&apos;s price action, offering a more flexible approach to long-term market analysis.</p><h2 id="trumps-2025-crypto-earnings-surpass-14-billion">Trump&apos;s 2025 Crypto Earnings Surpass $1.4 Billion</h2><p>A newly released financial disclosure shows that U.S. President Donald Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related income during 2025. The filing, published by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, highlights the growing role of digital assets in Trump&apos;s business portfolio.</p><p>Most of the reported income came from World Liberty Financial, which generated nearly $800 million for Trump-affiliated companies, while the $TRUMP meme coin contributed approximately $635 million through token sales and royalty revenue. The total represents a dramatic increase compared to the previous year&apos;s reported crypto income.</p><hr><p><a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/trade/PXP/USDT"><u>Happy trading at PointPay!</u></a></p><p></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on MEXC: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn"><u>http://bit.ly/3UhCgZn</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on Bitrue: <a href="https://bit.ly/3JEreHu"><u>https://bit.ly/3JEreHu</u></a></p><p>&#x1F525; Buy PXP tokens on WhiteBIT: <a href="https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH"><u>https://bit.ly/3qJrjRH</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4B0; Earn up to 1% yearly with PXP <a href="https://exchange.pointpay.io/staking"><u>staking</u></a></p><p>&#x1F4D6; Read an article about PointPay CEO and his professional vision: <a href="https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/"><u>https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2026/01/vladimir-kardapoltsev-bridging-web3-vision-with-operational-reality/</u></a>&#xA0;</p><p></p><p>&#x1F3E6; PointPay - all crypto services in one place!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PointPay Weekly Update (29 June - 03 July)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Dear PointPay Family,</p><p>We invite you to dive into our Weekly Update, where we&apos;ve gathered all the key platform news and developments from the past seven days.

Over the past few days, Bitcoin has fallen below $60,000 and tested the $58,000 level several times. As a result, market sentiment has become even more bearish, putting additional pressure on the prices of many altcoins and influencing ETF market activity.</p><hr><p>Thanks again for taking the time to read this update.
