We’re only a few days in, and the crypto world is already buzzing. From a U.S. Senator revealing that military generals want a national Bitcoin reserve to prepare for tensions with China, to Morocco cracking down on crypto kidnappers and Coinbase grappling with a major data breach, this week’s headlines are nothing short of explosive.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, now’s the perfect time to hit that button to receive the latest Web3 updates!

Biggest Story

U.S. Military Leaders Reportedly Support Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Amid China Tensions

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has revealed that several high-ranking military officials, particularly generals stationed in Southeast Asia, are backing the idea of creating a national Bitcoin reserve. In a June 3 interview with Bloomberg, Lummis explained that these military leaders see Bitcoin as a vital asset in what she described as an ongoing “economic war” with China. Highlighting the increasing significance of digital assets in global power dynamics, Lummis claimed that Bitcoin could serve as a hedge in both economic and potential military conflicts, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to be prepared on both fronts.

Her comments reflect broader geopolitical concerns as U.S.-China tensions continue to mount, particularly following the trade policies enacted during President Donald Trump’s administration. With digital financial systems becoming central to global strategy, U.S. Vice President JD Vance also echoed similar sentiments at the Bitcoin 2025 conference, framing Bitcoin as crucial to preserving U.S. dominance in the evolving digital economy.

As always, here’s a quick recap of everything that went down this week. Enjoy! Biggest Story Circle Freezes $58M in USDC Amid LIBRA Memecoin Scandal Circle, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has frozen nearly $58 million linked to the controversial LIBRA memecoin project. The freeze targeted two Solana wallets connected to LIBRA’s deployers, following a class-action lawsuit filed in New York where investors allege insider fraud. Blockchain firm Arkham confirmed Circle’s use of multisig authority to halt transactions, marking a major escalation in one of 2025’s most prominent crypto scandals. LIBRA surged after Argentine President Javier Milei promoted it as a tool for small businesses, reaching over $5 and a $4 billion market cap within an hour. However, a massive insider dump crashed its value by 90%, resulting in $250 million in retail losses. The fallout has sparked political unrest in Argentina and may set new legal precedents in crypto accountability.
