Belgrade-based Streamflow has unveiled USD+, a novel stablecoin on the Solana blockchain that directly distributes daily yield from U.S. Treasury Bills to holders’ wallets. Challenging the model of established stablecoins like USDC, where issuers retain interest, USD+ offers an approximate 3.6% APY without requiring staking or lockups. This innovation targets Web3 treasuries and crypto-native investors seeking yield on idle capital while maintaining full composability within Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.

Four North Korean nationals have been charged by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) for posing as remote IT developers at blockchain firms in the US and Serbia, stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. The group, identified as Kim Kwang Jin, Kang Tae Bok, Jong Pong Ju, and Chang Nam Il, used fake and stolen identities to conceal their origins. Operating initially from the UAE in 2019, they later secured jobs at an Atlanta-based blockchain startup and a Serbian token company between late 2020 and mid-2021. The stolen funds were allegedly funneled to support North Korea’s illicit programs. The case highlights growing concerns about state-sponsored cybercrime in the crypto space.

GetBlock, a leading blockchain node infrastructure provider, has launched MEV-protected RPC endpoints on four major networks: Solana, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base. This initiative aims to shield decentralized applications (dApps) from MEV exploits like frontrunning and sandwich attacks by integrating protection at the RPC layer. The service, available to paid-tier users by default, utilizes Merkle’s private mempools and builder nodes to neutralize MEV strategies before transactions reach the public queue. GetBlock’s CEO, Vasily Rudomanov, emphasized the ease of adoption, requiring no code changes for developers. The company plans to expand this offering to dedicated node services for institutional clients in the future.

A report from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) reveals that cryptocurrency is playing a growing role in criminal activities across the Western Balkans, including money laundering, drug trafficking, and fraud. The region has recorded just three crypto seizures, all in recent years, underscoring the lack of regulatory frameworks and enforcement capabilities. Countries like Albania, Serbia, and Kosovo have begun adopting digital asset laws, but implementation remains inconsistent. Montenegro has emerged as a hub for darknet market transactions, while Albania and Serbia face rising crypto-linked drug trafficking. Experts warn that without stronger regulations, cross-border cooperation, and advanced blockchain tools, the region will remain vulnerable to illicit crypto activity.

Prince Filip Karađorđević of Serbia anticipates a Bitcoin ‘omega candle’ rally, driven by BTC’s deflationary properties, but cautions that market participants may suppress prices, as seen in 2021. He references Samson Mow’s theory that BTC’s growth will surge post-$100K, with daily swings of $10K or more. Recent ETF inflows ($2.2B in three days) and macro relief have boosted Bitcoin’s price by 9%, though recession fears (60% probability in 2025, per JPMorgan) loom. Analysts note BTC’s resilience but warn elevated uncertainty may cap gains.
