Is It Safe & Legit? – CryptoNinjas

Is It Safe & Legit? – CryptoNinjas

The post Is It Safe & Legit? – CryptoNinjas appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Atomic Wallet is a popular all-in-one cryptocurrency wallet that remains legit and generally safe to use in 2025. It’s a non-custodial app (you hold your own private keys) with support for over 1,000 coins and tokens, plus convenient features like built-in coin swaps, staking, and even options to buy crypto with a credit card. Now, in our in-depth Atomic Wallet review, we will look at exactly what it is, what features it has, how much it costs to use, and most importantly, how secure your funds will truly be. Key Takeaways Safety: Atomic Wallet is non-custodial and encrypts your keys locally. So, it’s generally safe if you follow good security practices (of course, no software wallet is 100% hack-proof). Fees: The app is free to download and use, but Atomic Wallet fees come from network costs and third-party services; swaps and card purchases here are pricier than on big exchanges. Features: This wallet supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and provides you with a one-stop solution (built-in swapping, staking, and even a fiat on-ramp to buy crypto). Staking: Atomic’s staking feature easily lets you earn passive income on 30+ different coins, and it’s very user-friendly (just a few taps to stake). Limitations: Atomic Wallet is obviously great for managing a diverse crypto portfolio in one place, but advanced users might miss things like hardware wallet support or full open-source transparency (keep that in mind if you need those features). Atomic Wallet Review: What Is It? Atomic Wallet is a decentralized and non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet application that allows you to securely store, exchange, and stake your digital assets all in one place. That means, basically, you are the only person who has access to your private keys and your all-important 12-word seed phrase. The team behind Atomic Wallet launched it back in 2017,…

Today's top news highlights: 1. The People's Bank of China convened a meeting of its coordination mechanism for combating speculation in virtual currency trading. 2. The three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher for the fifth consecutive day, with Circle (CRCL) rising more than 10%. 3. Turkmenistan has passed a cryptocurrency regulatory law, which will take effect in 2026. 4.

CoinShares cancels plans to launch XRP, SOL, and LTC ETFs in the US. Macro Turkmenistan has passed a law regulating cryptocurrency, which will take effect in 2026. According to Reuters, the President of Turkmenistan signed a new law on November 28th, formally establishing a licensing mechanism for cryptocurrency mining and exchanges. The law will take effect on January 1, 2026. The new regulations clarify the legal and economic status of virtual assets, aiming to promote digitalization and attract foreign investment. Spot gold and silver prices continued to rise, reaching $4,200 per ounce and breaking through the $55 mark, respectively. Spot gold continued its upward trend, surpassing $4,200 per ounce for the first time since November 14, with a daily gain of over 1%. Meanwhile, spot silver broke through $55 per ounce, setting a new all-time high, with a daily gain of over 3%. The UK requires cryptocurrency exchanges to collect and report transaction records of UK customers starting in 2026. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued new regulations requiring cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the UK to begin collecting complete transaction records from all their UK clients from January 1, 2026, and sharing this data with HMRC the following year. HMRC will use the collected data to verify tax returns, ensure compliance, and penalize violations. This new guidance aligns the UK with the OECD Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), which aims to improve transparency in the rapidly growing digital asset market and is already being implemented in countries and regions such as the EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Korea. The three major U.S. stock indexes closed higher for the fifth consecutive day, with Circle (CRCL) rising more than 10%. According to CLS News Agency, U.S. stocks closed three hours early due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The three major indices all closed higher for the fifth consecutive trading day: the Nasdaq rose 0.65%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.61%, and the S&P 500 rose 0.54%.

Blockchain concept stocks generally rose, with Circle (CRCL) up 10.04%; Coinbase (COIN) up 2.96%; and Strategy (MSTR) up 0.88%. The regulation requiring individuals to register the source of funds for cash deposits or withdrawals exceeding 50,000 yuan has been cancelled. According to CLS News Agency, three departments (the People's Bank of China, the State Financial Regulatory Commission, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission) jointly released the "Administrative Measures for Due Diligence of Financial Institutions and the Preservation of Customer Identity Information and Transaction Records" yesterday. The requirement that "individuals depositing or withdrawing cash exceeding 50,000 yuan must register the source of funds" has been removed, consistent with the previous draft for public comment. Under the new regulations, banks will no longer indiscriminately question all individuals when they withdraw cash. Instead, they will decide whether to ask more questions based on the risk level: in cases of high money laundering risk, banks will strengthen their investigation to understand the source and purpose of funds; for low-risk situations, simplified measures will be adopted. The People's Bank of China convened a meeting of its coordination mechanism for combating speculation in virtual currency trading. On November 28, the People's Bank of China convened a meeting of its coordination mechanism for combating speculation in virtual currencies. The meeting noted that recently, influenced by various factors, speculation in virtual currencies has resurfaced, and related illegal and criminal activities have occurred frequently, posing new challenges and situations for risk prevention and control. The meeting emphasized that virtual currencies do not have the same legal status as fiat currency, lack legal tender status, and should not and cannot be used as currency in the market. Virtual currency-related business activities constitute illegal financial activities. Stablecoins, a form of virtual currency, currently cannot effectively meet the requirements for customer identification and anti-money laundering, and pose a risk of being used for money laundering, fundraising fraud, and illegal cross-border fund transfers. The meeting stressed the need to continue adhering to the prohibitive policy on virtual currencies and to persistently crack down on illegal financial activities related to virtual currencies. All relevant departments must deepen coordination and cooperation, improve regulatory policies and legal frameworks, focus on key aspects such as information and capital flows, strengthen information sharing, further enhance monitoring capabilities, severely punish illegal and criminal activities, protect the property safety of the people, and maintain the stability of the economic and financial order. Officials from the Ministry of Public Security, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Central Financial Affairs Commission, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Justice, the People's Bank of China, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the State Financial Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange attended the meeting. Two South Korean police officers have been indicted for allegedly accepting bribes to facilitate $186 million in cryptocurrency money laundering. According to Solid Intel, two South Korean police officers have been formally indicted for allegedly accepting bribes and assisting in the operation of a cryptocurrency money laundering network worth 250 billion won (approximately US$186 million). Opinion CZ: It's best to sell at the peak of market greed and buy at the peak of market fear. CZ tweeted, "While this view is not very popular, it's best to sell when market greed peaks and buy when market fear peaks." Alliance DAO co-founder: We will not short L1 tokens, but simply believe that L1 tokens are not a high-quality investment. Alliance DAO co-founder QwQiao stated in an article on the X platform that he will not short L1 tokens, but he cannot convince himself that they are "great investments." However, L1 tokens are not "bad investments" either, as there are thousands of assets to choose from, and there are always some high-quality ones to be found. QwQiao claims that every asset he currently holds has a sustainable competitive advantage and operates in an exponentially growing field. QwQiao previously pointed out that L1 tokens lack a moat, are easily commoditized, and are difficult to capture meaningful value, suggesting that betting on the application layer may be the way out. Project Updates Bitget has fulfilled its donation commitment: the HK$12 million donation to aid Tai Po, Hong Kong, has been fully disbursed.

Terminal Finance explored various transformation options, but none were sufficiently compelling. Each option faced substantial obstacles: limited support, low potential for asset listing, and a bleak long-term outlook, leading to the decision not to proceed. Terminal Finance states that all users' principal is retained and will remain fully guaranteed at a 1:1 ratio, allowing withdrawals at a 1:1 ratio.

Top 10 Layer-2 Crypto Projects: ZK, Linea, and Starknet Outshine Rivals in Latest Social Activity Rankings

The post Top 10 Layer-2 Crypto Projects: ZK, Linea, and Starknet Outshine Rivals in Latest Social Activity Rankings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Layer-2 crypto projects are moving again. A radical increase in social interaction has been observed in the layer-2 ecosystem, with recent information from Phoenix Group and LunarCrush revealing both impressive peaks of interactions on large networks. On the latest report released on 28 November 2025, ZK has been the most social-activity project with regard to layer-2.  TOP #LAYER2 PROJECTS BY SOCIAL ACTIVITY$ZK $LINEA $STRK $OP $CELO $ARB $STX $POL $MNT $IMX pic.twitter.com/A5uduNZlWA — PHOENIX – Crypto News & Analytics (@pnxgrp) November 28, 2025 The network showed 4.8K engaged posts and 372.3K total interactions, which is significant and proves the increased interest of the community and a powerful narrative developing around the solutions based on ZK-based scaling. This momentum is timely as layer-2 crypto technologies are gradually being considered as an indispensable component of enabling blockchain scalability to achieve faster execution and lower costs without sacrificing the security. The supremacy of ZK implies the emergence of investor confidence, high activity of developers and active online discussion that promotes its visibility. Linea Secures Second Position With Over 2 Million Interactions Close behind, Linea ranked second highest in the social activity category with the number of engaged posts being 3.9K and massively interacting with 2.1 million posts.  The level of participation is an indication that Linea remains one of the most debated layer-2 crypto ecosystems, presumably due to its developer friendly infrastructure and ongoing ecosystem expansions. The consistent action of social platforms by Linea implies a stronger community and gradual project momentum. The growing list of dApps, integrations, and collaboration seems to be fueling traffic of users on social media. Starknet Maintains Strong Engagement With 494K Interactions Starknet was ranked third place with 3.6K engaged posts and 494K interactions, which supports its status as a key player in the zk rollup competition.

German football star Mario Götze plans to enter the venture capital field after retiring from football; he previously invested in NFTs.

PANews reported on November 29th that Mario Götze, a key player in Germany's World Cup, is 33 years old, an age when players typically begin to consider life after their professional sporting careers. However, Götze has been preparing for this for several years, building a strong private investment portfolio that will continue to grow after his first professional career ends. About seven years ago, his first venture capital deal involved a startup spun off from the University of Dortmund. Götze's investment vehicle, Companion-M, focuses on early-stage startups in fields such as software, healthcare, cybersecurity, and biotechnology. Götze and a small team of advisors typically consider around 100 potential deals per month and make one or two angel investments in companies that enter the seed or pre-seed stage. Götze stated that he is also open to investing in private credit and is considering adding one or two more investments before the end of the year. It is reported that Götze had previously invested in NFTs and changed his X account name to mariogotze.eth (which he still keeps), while also changing his X account profile picture to Smolverse NFT with the caption "Taking a step into the crypto space" (which has since been changed to another profile picture).

Ethereum’s price is holding steady at around $3,000 ahead of the Fusaka upgrade on December 3, 2025, with a neutral MVRV ratio of 1.27 indicating balanced market sentiment. Increased staking and a higher block gas limit suggest growing investor confidence for potential network improvements and price stability.

What is the impact of the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade on current market dynamics? Ethereum Fusaka upgrade is a pivotal network enhancement scheduled for December 3, 2025, aimed at improving scalability and efficiency through optimized transaction processing and staking mechanisms. This upgrade comes at a time when Ethereum’s price hovers around $3,000, down 26% from early Q4 highs, yet supported by balanced on-chain metrics. Data from CryptoQuant indicates a realized price of $2,315 and an MVRV ratio of 1.27, suggesting neither excessive greed nor fear among holders, which could foster stability as the upgrade approaches.

The MVRV ratio, or Market Value to Realized Value, serves as a key indicator of market health by comparing Ethereum’s current price to the average cost basis of holders. At 1.27, this metric points to a neutral stance where the market price exceeds the realized price by 27%, implying fair valuation without the distortions of major unrealized profits or losses. This balance is crucial ahead of the Fusaka upgrade, as it…

Korean Authorities Point to Lazarus Group in Upbit’s ₩44.5B Hack

Korean Authorities Point to Lazarus Group in Upbit’s ₩44.5B Hack

The post Korean Authorities Point to Lazarus Group in Upbit’s ₩44.5B Hack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Korea’s regulators say North Korea’s Lazarus Group is now the prime suspect behind the ₩44.5 billion (~$32–36 million) hack on Upbit, the country’s largest crypto exchange. Investigators say the on-chain trail looks almost identical to the group’s previous operations, including Upbit’s infamous 2019 breach. The attack hit on November 27, triggering an immediate freeze on withdrawals and transfers. Upbit confirmed that funds vanished from one of its hot wallets, affecting several assets, SOL, USDC, BONK, JUP, and others. While the exchange says users will be fully compensated from its reserves, the incident marks another damaging blow to trust in local crypto infrastructure. And the fingerprints are familiar. A Pattern Authorities Know Too Well Investigators began tracing the exploited wallet minutes after the hack. What they found matched a blueprint they’ve seen repeatedly over the past five years. The stolen assets were:  Swapped instantly on Jupiter and Raydium  Split across more than 200 wallets  Bridged through Wormhole  Pushed into a laundering cycle resembling mixer-style dispersion The flow mirrors the techniques Lazarus has used in hacks across the world. Korea’s cybercrime teams pointed to “wallet-hopping patterns and mixing behavior identical to Lazarus operations,” according to local media briefings and early reporting from Crypto Times. 🚨UPDATE: Korean authorities say North Korea’s Lazarus Group is the key suspect in Upbit’s ₩44.5B (~$32M) hack.
