Bitcoin Depot reports $3.6M theft after internal wallet breach
Hackers stole roughly 50.903 BTC, valued at about $3.6 million, from Bitcoin Depot’s corporate IT systems on March 23. The breach was confined to internal wallets and did not affect customer‑facing platforms. Investigations continue into additional costs such as legal and reputational impacts.

Ledger and Trezor each unveiled flagship 2025 hardware-signers aimed at upgrading usability and future-proofing self-custody: Ledger launched the Nano Gen5 (priced $179/179€) with a larger screen, Bluetooth, and its Ledger Recovery Key while rebranding devices as “Ledger signers.” Trezor introduced the Safe 7 (249€), featuring dual secure elements, Bluetooth, wireless charging and a “quantum-ready” architecture able to receive post-quantum updates. The releases underscore a competitive split—Ledger prioritizes affordability and design, Trezor emphasizes high-assurance security—and, while both firms say older devices remain supported, the new models are likely to shape buyer preferences and upgrade cycles in the hardware-wallet market.

Lesson on Market Attention (ZEC VS ETH) In a full-blown bull market, attention is everywhere. But right now, it's scarce. The second I see attention leaving one asset (ETH) and entering another (ZEC), I position to trade the higher-attention asset. https://t.co/FEuBtbfoSu

Is bitcoin undervalued vs gold? 🪙✨ On @bitsandbips, @ramahluwalia says yes — for now. But if BTC shoots to $125k, his view will quickly change 👀 https://t.co/shJTlzjoyI
Bitcoin Bounce retraced as expected, until we make a higher high, assume continuation down. $116K it's the key level to watch for the Bulls. $105K is the key level to watch for the Bears. https://t.co/ryfLuhxw9f
#Bitcoin Bullish Scenario (Reply guys; please read fully so you understand clearly what I'm saying) I like the clean levels here and potential ascending triangle pattern. If $BTC can reclaim $110,800 then that should trigger a move to $115,000 https://t.co/tbst620Sw1

$DG Still just sitting around break even. Tightened stop loss up to below the recent low. Makes this super low risk and also just don't want to see it drop much further at this point to maintain upside potential. https://t.co/2qDDav8V9N
