President Donald Trump has cut off critical US cybersecurity aid to Ukraine, leaving the country more open to Russian cyberattacks. The disruption began just days after Trump was sworn into office in January and has since wiped out government support programs that had been helping Ukraine defend its digital systems. Those cuts included USAID funding, equipment shipments, cyber training, and even classified intelligence-sharing. According to Bloomberg, dozens of US and Ukrainian cybersecurity workers have been removed from their posts after contracts were paused or cancelled. The sudden drop in support comes as the Trump administration pushes Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to accept a peace deal many officials say favors Moscow. Vice President JD Vance said earlier this week that if neither side accepts the deal, the US may abandon the process entirely—something that could block future cyber aid altogether. Musk’s department dismantles USAID and freezes shipments In the past five years, the US had provided more than $200 million in cybersecurity help to Ukraine, mostly through USAID. That aid included equipment, software, and direct technical support. But since January, Elon Musk’s DOGE, has gutted the agency. In February, Musk claimed on X that USAID was interfering with global governments and promoting “radical left politics.” He didn’t give proof. Bloomberg’s report claims that hardware and software planned for Ukraine never arrived. Contracts for cyber staff in the US and Ukraine were ended before work could be finished. That includes workers protecting energy networks, telecom systems, and the Cabinet of Ministers, which runs Ukraine’s executive branch. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has backed the reviews, saying every dollar must “make the US safer, strong and more prosperous.” A State Department spokesperson confirmed that all cyber projects were now under review to meet Trump’s policy goals. When the Pentagon was asked in March if cyber offensives against Russia were halted, Bloomberg said it denied reports from The Record, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. DAI contract stalls, private sector steps in after shutdown The report also said that the largest cybersecurity contract funded by the US was worth $128 million, awarded to DAI Global LLC, a consulting firm based in Maryland. That deal covered everything from data recovery gear to backup servers, threat detection tools, and secure communication systems. It was supposed to run through September 2026 but now might not even survive 2025. People working on the project reportedly said that equipment for airports, radioactive waste facilities, the Chernobyl plant, and Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s national power company, has stopped arriving. They also said a plan to help Ukraine’s election commission was now frozen. Many of the project’s staff were furloughed after the January funding freeze. Some help came from CRDF Global, a contractor based in Virginia. That team had been running training programs and helping Ukraine build cybersecurity operations centers. Their work is now paused while the State Department continues its review. Even global efforts have been hit. The Tallinn Mechanism, a joint program from Canada, the UK, Germany, France, and Estonia, had pledged $200 million to support Ukraine’s cyber defenses. The US committed half of that through USAID. But the entire US contribution is now frozen, and it’s unclear if any of it will be sent. While government help has dried up, private firms are stepping in. Bloomberg reports that at least a dozen cybersecurity companies, including Mandiant, Palo Alto Networks, and Symantec (owned by Broadcom), are still helping through a group called the Cyber Defense Assistance Collaborative. That private support, worth around $40 million so far, includes tools to detect intrusions and intel on Russian hacking strategies. At the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022, hackers linked to the Kremlin hit a US satellite company used by Ukraine’s military. That attack disrupted troop coordination. Ukraine also faced DDoS attacks and malware designed to wipe systems across the government and energy sectors. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?

MAGACOINFINANCE Emerges as the Altcoin Analysts Are Watching Closely While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple (XRP) continue to recover strength in the market, investor conversations are beginning to shift toward early-stage opportunities. One name consistently surfacing is MAGACOINFINANCE —a token still in its formative stages, but already showing the signals that long-term investors look for. The project offers what many consider the ideal setup: limited access, strong tokenomics, and clear momentum. In a market where timing is everything, MAGACOINFINANCE is becoming the quiet frontrunner for those looking ahead. Why MAGACOINFINANCE Is Being Viewed as a Rare Opportunity MAGACOINFINANCE instantly caught the eye of investors — quickly establishing itself as a serious altcoin to watch. The appeal lies in its structure. With a capped supply and exclusive pre-sale model, it creates natural scarcity—something that often fuels stronger demand in the early stages of a token’s lifecycle. The project’s slow-burn approach is attracting long-term capital, as more investors recognize that it’s not about hype—it’s about positioning before widespread attention takes over. MAGACOINFINANCE vs. ETH, TON, AVAX, and SUI: What Sets It Apart Ethereum (ETH) remains the dominant platform for smart contracts. Toncoin (TON) , Avalanche (AVAX) , and SUI each bring technical value—but they’ve already matured past the entry phase where investors can access the most upside. MAGACOINFINANCE , however, is still new. Still pre-listed. Still building. And that makes all the difference when it comes to long-term strategic entry. Final Thoughts: MAGACOINFINANCE Reflects What BTC, ETH, and XRP Once Were Bitcoin (BTC) once moved quietly before changing everything. Ethereum (ETH) took time to be noticed. XRP gained serious value after building trust. Today, MAGACOINFINANCE is following a similar path—early, focused, and built for those with the foresight to act before the spotlight hits.

The planning commission of Vilonia, Arkansas, has unanimously rejected a proposal to establish a cryptocurrency mining facility within the city limits following strong opposition from local residents. According to local reports , the decision came after weeks of community pushback, where citizens voiced concerns over potential noise pollution, increased energy consumption, and the overall environmental impact associated with crypto-mining operations. During public meetings, Vilonia residents expressed concern that the mining operation could disrupt the town’s quiet atmosphere and strain local infrastructure. Many pointed to examples from other regions where similar facilities led to rising electricity costs and constant noise from mining rigs. “I just want to ask, like, did we make a mistake moving here? We’re not asking these people to come here. I grew up here. I graduated from Vilonia, and we [are] Arkansas, the Natural State, not Arkansas, the Bitcoin state,” one community member told THV11. Vilonia community members oppose a new crypto mine in their town. Source: YouTube Related: Crypto startups no longer welcome in Nvidia’s accelerator program Vilonia has a history of rejecting crypto mining Vilonia has confronted the prospect of crypto mining before. In previous years, residents expressed disinterest in hosting miners, citing long-term sustainability concerns and minimal local economic benefits. In 2023, the city’s planning commission denied Vilo AR permission to build a crypto mine in town and revoked its permit permanently. During the same year, Vilonia residents voiced strong opposition to a proposed crypto-mining facility by Green Digital near residential areas, citing concerns over constant loud noise from powerful mining computers and potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party. In 2024, the Arkansas State House passed two bills that restrict cryptocurrency mining within the state. Related: Bitdeer turns to self-mining Bitcoin, US operations amid tariff tumult — Report In January 2025, Arkansas lawmakers introduced a new bill that would ban crypto mining operations within 30 miles of any US military facility in the state. Senate Bill (SB 60) was introduced by Senator Ricky Hill and House Speaker Brian Evans, aiming to amend the Arkansas Data Centers Act of 2023 to keep crypto mining facilities away from military installations. However, the Arkansas Senate’s City, County and Local Affairs Committee eventually rejected the bill . The opposition against crypto mining centers in Arkansas follows a broader trend seen across various US municipalities where crypto-mining initiatives face increasing scrutiny. In October 2024, a group of residents in Granbury, Texas, filed a lawsuit against Marathon Digital , alleging that the mining facility generated too much noise. The lawsuit claimed that residents were experiencing physical symptoms from the noise, including fatigue, headaches, nausea, hearing loss, memory issues and even psychological problems.

The hacker, who exploited the Ethereum-based ZKsync blockchain for $5 million, has returned the funds as part of a bounty deal. Under the terms of the agreement, they were required to return the stolen funds within 72 hours and would not be pursued as hackers, but instead would be rewarded as bounty hunters. The ZKsync team said they were happy to announce that the hacker had cooperated and returned the funds within the allotted time frame. ZKsync was able to recover, through their negotiation efforts, 44.6 million ZK tokens and 1,800 ETH tokens. The ZKsync Security Council is responsible for the recovered tokens. ZKsync, not long after the hack, offered the hacker a 10% bounty if 90% of the funds were returned within 72 hours. The hacker was warned that if the tokens were not returned, the incident would be escalated to law enforcement and would become a criminal investigation. The ZKsync price plunged after the incident but recovered not long after. The hacker cooperated with ZKsync, sending around $2.47 million worth of ZKsync and $1.83 million worth of Ethereum. Another $1.4 million of Ethereum was sent to the ZKsync Security Council wallet. The hacker sent the funds within 10 minutes of each other. The funds were sent within the 72-hour deadline set by ZKsync. Ethereum and ZKSync have risen in price since the attack, meaning that the recovered amount now exceeds the original funds. Ethereum increased by around 9%, while ZKsync rose by 17%. ZKsync may still go up further, given the good news. ZKsync had already planned to write a report on the incident, and now has a lot more to write about. The original hack occurred when the hacker took control of an admin wallet and stole $5 million worth of ZKsync tokens. The funds were meant for an airdrop. The attacker used the sweepUnclaimed() method to claim all remaining tokens in the airdrop wallet, releasing 111 million tokens. The development team at ZKsync announced what had happened and assured users that no other parts of the ecosystem had been hacked. The hack may have been the result of a vulnerability in ZKsync’s zero-knowledge proof processes. The hacker, if this is the case, would have had some sophisticated methods to pull off the exploit. ZachXBT, a crypto analyst, said that the hack was indicative of wider problems in the crypto industry, which could only be resolved with government regulation. The first quarter of 2025 was the worst in cryptocurrency history, with over $1.6 billion in stolen funds. The majority of the hacks were with 2 centralized exchanges, including Bybit at $1.46 billion and Phemex at $69.1 million. There were 39 incidents in Q1 2025, which has spurred a lot of interest in crypto security.
Japan’s government unveiled a package of emergency economic measures to counter the adverse effects of higher tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump ahead of a second round of bilateral trade negotiations expected next week. The plan includes a 10 yen/liter gasoline subsidy and partial electricity bill support for three months. However, the Auto and Steel industries are expected to be the hardest hit by U.S. tariff impacts. IMF Fiscal Affairs Director Victor Gaspar warned that if a significant economic shock hit Japan in the future, the deterioration in debt levels could exceed that during the coronavirus period. He emphasized the urgent need to begin fiscal consolidation in light of debt risks. On April 22nd, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party each submitted a proposal for domestic measures to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. The Japanese government has drawn up a comprehensive plan based on these proposals to counter the negative impact of the sweeping U.S. tariffs. Ishiba unveils economic stimulus package to counter the effects of tariffs To counter US tariff impacts, Japan unveiled measures including support for corporate financing, a ¥10 per litre gasoline subsidy, and partial coverage of electricity bills for three months starting July. 💻 Intel Reports Q1 Earnings Beat but Issues Weak Q2 Forecast — NordFX (@NordFX) April 25, 2025 Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba on Friday said the government had compiled an emergency economic package to reduce any impact on industries and households from the new U.S. import tariffs. A government document also revealed that the package includes support for corporate financing and subsidies to lower gasoline prices by 10 yen ($0.07) a liter and partially covers electricity bills for three months from July. According to Ishiba, a larger scope of firms will also be eligible for low-interest loans extended by government-backed banks to help small and mid-sized companies more vulnerable to economic swings. Economy Minister Ryosei Akazawa said the package could be financed by a reserve fund, eliminating the need to compile an extra budget. Akazawa, Japan’s top trade negotiator, will visit Washington next week for a second round of trade talks. “I have instructed cabinet members to make the utmost efforts to aid firms and households that have been worried about tariff impact.” ~ Shigeru Ishiba, Prime Minister of Japan The Japanese government hinted that it will consider additional measures to boost domestic consumption depending on how much the U.S. tariffs impacted Japan’s massive automotive industry. It also announced on Thursday that it was considering increasing soybean imports from the U.S. as part of negotiations. Ishiba says the U.S. tariffs could greatly ‘hurt’ Japan’s domestic industry Ishiba warned during a meeting to map out the package that the U.S. tariffs could ‘substantially hurt’ domestic industries that supported the Japanese economy, such as automobiles and steel. He emphasized the necessity of Tokyo and Washington working together for mutual benefit. According to the Prime Minister, it was extremely important for Japan to clearly convey to the U.S. that Japanese enterprises had made a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through investment and job creation. Ishiba said on April 22nd that Japan would emphasize the importance of free trade in bilateral tariffs during negotiations with the U.S., despite Trump pursuing his protectionist and growth-stifling ‘America First’ policy. Akazawa’s trip to the U.S. is viewed as an opportunity for Japan to push for exemptions or revisions to the sweeping tariffs imposed by Trump, which Tokyo has said are a major threat to the stability of global trade. Ishiba’s government suggested that it could introduce additional steps–depending on the outcome of the second round of talks–to prevent the performance of Japanese manufacturers from slumping and consumer confidence from deteriorating sharply. Trump has imposed higher import duties on cars, steel, and aluminum, with a baseline 10% levy remaining in place despite the 90-day pause for ‘reciprocal tariffs.’ Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?

More than 19,800 CloneX digital avatars developed by non-fungible token firm RTFKT Studios have reappeared after Cloudflare blacked out the NFTs for apparently violating its terms of service. “This content has been restricted. Using Cloudflare’s basic service in this manner is a violation of the Terms of Service. Please visit cfl.re/tos to learn more,” the message read on April 24. RTFKT’s head of tech, Samuel Cardillo, has refuted claims that it missed a payment, attributing the issue to changes happening with RTFKT’s “current Cloudflare setup.” NFT content creator Wale Swoosh earlier speculated that RTFKT may have subscribed to an inadequate Cloudflare plan for high-traffic image serving. Cloudflare offers a range of web infrastructure services. Source: Wale Swoosh Most of the CloneX NFTs have started to reappear, according to Cardillo, who added that Cloudflare has fixed the issue. However, the incident sparked considerable outrage from some CloneX holders, including one NFT holder who spent $1.25 million on a CloneX NFT. Source: mOpO680 The issue prompted Cardillo to find a more decentralized solution to host the NFTs. “I am working closely with ArDrive to decentralize both CloneX and Animus to ensure that post-30 April, no downtime of your favorite art ever happen again.” In a separate post, Cardillo said CloneX would specifically move to the decentralized data storage platform Arweave. Cardillo is RTFKT’s last man standing since the firm shuttered in January RTFKT — which pioneered virtual sneakers and was bought out by Nike in December 2021 — has largely been a one-man show since the shoe maker shuttered its operations in January. “Keep in mind that I am the last man standing and therefore I am doing it all myself,” Cardillo said in response to a flood of complaints shortly after the incident occurred. RTFKT confirmed its closure with an ambiguous letter, claiming it “isn’t ending” and would become what it has always meant to be — an “artifact of cultural revolution.” No substantial developments at RTFKT have come about since the December announcement. Related: Polygon NFTs overtake Ethereum collectibles in 7-day sales Several NFT marketplaces have also shuttered in recent months.
