Binance Australia has restored direct Australian dollar deposits and withdrawals for local users, reopening PayID and bank-transfer access after more than two years of disruption to its banking services. The move marks the first time since mid-2023 that the exchange has offered direct fiat on- and off-ramps in the Australian market.
The functionality is now available to all customers following a phased rollout to a smaller user group in recent months. Users can once again move funds between their bank accounts and Binance in AUD, reducing reliance on debit and credit cards, which had been the only funding option after local banking channels were cut.
Australian banks have taken a cautious stance toward crypto-related services, citing fraud and compliance risks. As a result, the loss of PayID access previously increased costs and limited transaction flexibility for Binance users compared with rival exchanges that retained real-time payment support.
The return of PayID and bank transfers brings Binance closer to parity with competitors operating in Australia and removes a key operational hurdle that had weighed on user activity and market share during a period of heightened regulatory scrutiny and scaled-back operations in the country.

SEC DROPS MAJOR CRYPTO CASES - POLITICAL SHOCKWAVE IMMINENT!
House Democrats are UP IN ARMS. They're blasting the SEC for halting enforcement actions against giants like $XRP, $BNB, $COIN, and $KRAKEN. They claim POLITICAL DONATIONS are influencing these decisions. This is NOT a drill.
The SEC has reportedly DISMISSED or CLOSED over 12 major crypto cases since early 2025, even after favorable court rulings. Some companies whose lawsuits were dropped allegedly donated OVER $1INCH MILLION to Trump's inauguration. This is a blatant pay-to-play scheme. The SEC's decision to suspend its case against $SUN for 11 months is under intense scrutiny. This case remains open and could be REIGNITED.
This could trigger a MASSIVE crypto market shakeup if these cases are reopened. The legal barriers are immense, but the fallout is undeniable.

ZEN Token Faces 2.25% Price Drop Amid Base Migration, DeFi Expansion, and Market Volatility
Horizen (ZENUSDT) has experienced a 2.25% price decrease in the past 24 hours, currently trading at 11.108 USDT on Binance. This recent dip follows notable volatility attributed to heightened sector activity among privacy coins, regulatory discussions in the U.S., and technical corrections after last week’s rally. Specific factors influencing the decline include a 10.1% single-day drop on Binance Futures and mixed sentiment as traders react to both bullish breakout signals and bearish selling pressure observed in recent technical analyses. Despite short-term fluctuations, Horizen’s migration to an ERC-20 format on the Base network, increased DeFi integration via ZENDEX, and ongoing developer initiatives continue to drive institutional and ecosystem interest. ZEN’s market capitalization stands near $200 million, with strong trading volumes and a circulating supply of over 17.7 million tokens, as investors monitor critical support and resistance levels for further price direction.
$HYPE UNBELIEVABLE: Hyperliquid Just Dominated Every Chain by Fees
Hyperliquid is stealing the spotlight today — and the numbers are impossible to ignore. Over the last 24 hours, it surged past every major blockchain to become the #1 chain by fees, while also leading in trading volume. That’s not hype — that’s pure onchain demand.
This kind of fee dominance signals one thing: traders are actively choosing Hyperliquid. Heavy usage, nonstop transactions, and real liquidity are flowing in fast. While legacy chains fight for relevance, Hyperliquid is quietly proving it can capture serious attention where it matters most — actual activity and revenue.
When a chain tops both volume and fees, it’s a clear sign the market is voting with its capital. Momentum like this doesn’t show up by accident.
Is Hyperliquid the next major battleground for traders — or just getting started? 👀 Watch this space closely.

CZ cleared the air on those weird rumors linking him to actress Sydney Sweeney and he didnot overthink it
“Never met her. I don’t even socialize much” he said, calling the whole thing fake news and joking “Poor Sydney”
But then he dropped the real point and it wasn’t about dating at all
Figuring out what not to believe is getting harder every day
And if you can do that well, you’ll probably make more money
That line hits especially hard in crypto. Markets move on headlines, half truths, screenshots and straight up lies
The people who react to everything usually lose. The ones who filter noise survive
CZ’s been saying this for years ignore FUD, ignore fake news, ignore attacks
Same lesson, different moment
Nearly 80% of hacked crypto projects never fully recover, expert warns
According to security experts, nearly four out of five crypto projects that suffer a major hack never fully recover, not just financially but in terms of operations and user trust. Mitchell Amador, CEO of Web3 security platform Immunefi, told Cointelegraph that most protocols go into a state of paralysis the moment a vulnerability is exploited because they lack predefined incident response plans. This hesitation and disorganized response often leads to greater losses and prolonged damage. “Nearly 80% of projects that suffer a hack never fully recover,” Amador said, adding that the main reason is the breakdown of operations and trust during the crisis response rather than the initial financial loss itself.
Experts also note that even after fixing technical issues, many projects struggle to regain user confidence, liquidity dries up, and reputational damage becomes lasting. Recent trends show that hacks are increasingly caused by human errors and social engineering, causing more complex challenges for protocols to defend against.
Crypto-related hacks surged in 2025, with total losses reaching around $3.4 billion, the highest level since 2022. High-profile incidents like the $1.4 billion Bybit hack accounted for a significant portion of those losses.
Despite the grim statistics, some experts are optimistic that improvements in smart contract security, better audits, and more mature monitoring tools could strengthen defenses in 2026. However, the key unresolved issue remains how teams respond operationally and communicate with their communities immediately after a security incident.
