🔓 Otra wallet, otra filtración: SafePal expone a 40,000 clientes
SafePal acaba de admitir que una falla de seguridad permitió que personas ajenas accedieran a nombres, teléfonos, direcciones de envío y detalles de compra de casi 40,000 usuarios. La primera alerta llegó en mayo — la trataron como un caso aislado. Tres meses después, el alcance completo sale a la luz.
La cosa: tus claves privadas siguieron a salvo. Pero ahora 40,000 personas tienen su información del mundo real circulando para crews de phishing. Esto es el breach de Trezor otra vez. Las hardware wallets protegen tus monedas, no tu buzón.
Dos proveedores de wallets importantes filtrados en el mismo mes. ¿Cuándo dejamos de llamar esto "casos aislados" y empezamos a llamarlo un problema de la industria?

⚡ Si esto te salvó de una trampa de phishing, zapame — esta noche duermo mejor
This week was chaotic. Not in the "Bitcoin dropped 10%" sense — more like "the financial system is reordering itself in real time and the regulators can't agree on who's in charge."
**The SEC wants to be law without Congress**
Paul Atkins proposed "Regulation Crypto" on Thursday to bypass Congress entirely. The CLARITY Act has been stuck in the Senate for months, so the SEC decided to act alone. Three Republican commissioners opened it for public comment. It sounded like real progress.
But yesterday they cancelled the meeting. No new date. They're also delaying the "innovation exemption" for tokenization amid Wall Street and White House pushback. Galaxy Research now puts the CLARITY Act's chances of passing this year at 10%. **Ten percent.**
On top of that, the CFTC is forging its own regulatory path too. Two agencies competing to regulate crypto while Congress sits on its hands. The market wanted clarity, and what it got is a power struggle.
**Wall Street isn't "exploring" anymore — it's buying**
Goldman Sachs acquired NEOS Investments for $2.25 billion. NEOS manages a Bitcoin covered-call fund with roughly $1 billion in assets. One deal and Goldman now has a ready-made operation in the Bitcoin ETF income niche.
JPMorgan disclosed a $356 million stake in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF and added XRP and ETH exposure. Abu Dhabi's sovereign funds — Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Council — are now sitting on $764 million across 22.9 million shares of IBIT, and they ate a $118 million loss in Q2 without selling a single share. **When state money absorbs a six-figure loss without flinching, that's not risk management — that's conviction.**
UBS went from dipping a toe to cannonball. NYSE is building onchain settlement rails for tokenized securities. Not hype — real infrastructure.
**Security: the week of hacks**
BTCPay Server got hacked through vulnerable Lightning nodes. BTC stolen. Up to 3 BTC bounty offered for recovery. Coldcard thefts are slowing but Galaxy says total losses could top $150 million. Trezor exposed 14,000 user records. And the French tax agency was breached: 678,000 records stolen.
**Bitcoin: the fork that died and the one that can't be born**
BIP-110 is dead. Only 2 blocks produced before miners walked away. 2.53% support — nowhere near the 55% needed. BIP-54 "Consensus Cleanup" is ready to fix four old edge cases, but F2Pool publicly opposed it. With BIP-9 requiring miner signaling, one major pool saying no is a big deal.
Blockstream launched trustless swaps between Bitcoin and Lightning. x402 lets machines pay each other. SatPulse built an MCP server that feeds Bitcoin data to AI agents.

**📊 TRANSPARENCY**
Zaps received this week: 1 receipt, 0 confirmed sats. We haven't taken off on the zap machine yet — but the educational content and guides are gaining traction. The UTXO post and the "how to read the mempool" guide got solid engagement.
What worked: practical content (step-by-step guides, how X works) generates more engagement than news. News is noise; utility is signal. We're doubling down on the latter.
