On June 14, the promotion held their milestone event “UFC Freedom 250” on the White House lawn. This was followed by Conor McGregors return from a five-year layoff in Las Vegas on July 11 to culminate International Fight Week – the MMA equivalent of the Super Bowl.　　Looking back at his involvement across both disciplines, Buffer said, “The last month has been like the epitome of the biggest shows that I could ever think of doing.”　　“Beyond the Super Bowl, of course, which is on my bucket list for the future,” He continued. “It was an honor to be on the White House lawn.

Crypto home invasions jump 20x as wrench-attack exposure hits $124 million

CertiK tracked just one crypto-related home invasion in the first half of 2025. A year later, its publicly verifiable tally had surged 20-fold.　　Physical-coercion crimes, often called wrench attacks, bypass digital defenses by threatening a holder or relative until someone surrenders access or moves funds. The change turns a crime statistic into a custody-design problem: a secure key is not enough if one frightened person can release all the value immediately.　　In CertiKs H1 2026 wrench-attack report, released July 23, across all attack types, the security firm counted 52 verified incidents, up 33.3% from 39 a year earlier. It recorded roughly $124.1 million in financial exposure from losses and ransom demands, compared with about $10.5 million in H1 2025, an 11.8-fold increase.　　Within the dataset, Europe accounted for 39 cases and France for 33, a clear concentration in the visible record.　　Custody has to survive coercion　　A hardware wallet or offline seed phrase can still be bypassed as a sole safeguard when a holder is forced to unlock a wallet, reveal recovery material, or authorize a transaction. The first priority is therefore to eliminate unilateral authority over significant funds.　　CertiK recommends multisignature or multiparty computation with geographically distributed signers so no person at the scene can

Trumps New Tariffs Explained: What They Mean for Markets and Prices

Trumps new tariffs now cover nearly all US imports, raising questions about prices, trade and global markets.The White House cites forced labor concerns, but critics argue the tariffs serve a broader trade strategy.Higher import costs could fuel inflation, influence Fed policy and shape sentiment across stock and crypto markets.　　President Donald Trumps new tariffs took effect Friday, expanding US import duties to goods from 60 trading partners and covering about 99.4% of all imports into the country after a temporary global levy expired. The administration said the measures target countries that failed to curb imports made with forced labor, though critics argue Trump is using the policy to pursue broader trade goals.　　The new duties range from 10% to 12.5% and affect some of the United States largest trading partners.

Brazilian farmers tokenized dairy cows to get loans, bypassing bank lending limits

SummaryFarmers in Paraná, Brazil, have tokenized 10 dairy cows on the B3 stock exchange, raising nearly $20,000 in credit backed by their livestock amid tighter bank lending.The project, led by agtech firm Cowmed, uses AI-powered tracking collars to create encrypted digital identities for each cow, preventing double-pledging and enabling cows to serve as movable collateral.Cowmed, which already monitors about 100,000 cows worth more than $395 million, expects up to 20% of its network to adopt this tokenized financing model, potentially unlocking $77.6 million in new agricultural credit as part of a broader push into real-world asset tokenization.　　Farmers in Parana, Brazil, struggling to get banks to loan them cash, became the first to tokenize livestock and place 10 dairy milk cows‘ tokens for trade on the country’s B3 national stock exchange.
