Google Wants to Custody Banks' Bitcoin. Brazil Shows Why You Hold Your Own | Rabbit Hole Recap 427
Google is previewing a custody system that lets banks hold bitcoin, the NYSE's parent company is bringing Hyperliquid perps to the United States and Brazil's capital ran for the exits the day after Lula won a …
Notes de l’épisode
Google is previewing a custody system that lets banks hold bitcoin, the NYSE's parent company is bringing Hyperliquid perps to the United States and Brazil's capital ran for the exits the day after Lula won a fourth term.
Marty Bent and Thomas Pacchia are live to talk about what institutions are building, what you give up when you let them hold the keys and why equity in the AI boom isn't the same thing as scarce money.
On today's show:
🔁 Last week, revisited: the cyber pandemic keeps spreading. Bitcoin Core fast-tracks fixes for bugs an LLM can find, and the Brotli bug reaches well beyond Node
🇧🇷 Brazil's Ibovespa fell 13.88% in a day and the real had its worst session in 25+ years. Why a digital bearer asset protects property rights
🧠 Calacanis says sell bitcoin for superintelligence. Meta's $95B raise and Trump's inflation comments show why equity isn't money
🏦 Google previews bitcoin-compatible MPC custody for banks. No seed, no unilateral control and how it compares to multisig
📈 ICE and Stan Druckenmiller back trade[XYZ] to bring 24/7 Hyperliquid perps onshore, with or without CLARITY
📉 Paul Kedrosky's gut check on the AI bull thesis: the first lab to stop training wins, and your index fund is a concentrated AI bet
⚠️ Electrum servers baited users into fee bumps that paid a thief. Update to 4.8.3 and run your own server. Plus the Keystone customer data leak
📺 People are using AI to rip spyware out of their TVs, an iPhone audit raises questions and an ad company turned ads into a spyware pipeline
🤖 Cohere caught an open-weight Qwen model reaching for a Beijing bucket, and AI labs say they refuted a 1999 complexity assumption. Bitcoin's crypto is untouched
🏛️ The Fed holds, two dissent for a hike and Warsh rewrites the meeting calendar
💸 Strategy spends $205M on STRC buybacks instead of bitcoin, and bitcoin loans need to beat HELOCs
🔓 Free Samourai: Keonne Rodriguez's Letter #8

The Cyber Pandemic Is Here: AI Found a Hole in the Code Running Most of the Web | Rabbit Hole Recap 425

Notes de l’épisode
AI helped researchers find a hole in PHP, the code running most of the web. The details leaked, and Cloudflare saw exploit attempts hit the millions within a day.
Marty Bent and Thomas Pacchia are live to ask whether the cyber pandemic is finally here, what Amazon's AI spending says about the slowdown, and why a water heater that mines bitcoin might be the most decentralized miner yet.
On today's show:
🔁 Last week, revisited: the OCC drops its yield presumption in the final GENIUS rule, and Anthropic's prospectus lands after its revenue slowdown
🛡️ PHP2Shell: AI found a decade-old flaw, it leaked early, and 2026 has already produced 21.7% of every CVE ever published
🔥 Heatbit's Bitwater: a water heater element with 20 mining chips that screws into the tank you already have
🤖 Amazon's AI spending took it free cash flow negative, with GPUs sitting in warehouses waiting on power. Bitcoin miners lived this in 2021.
📊 SpaceX's AI revenue is real, Anthropic's $80.7B loss is mostly paper, and the real question is revenue quality
📉 Black Monday never showed up, but bond convexity and the diesel squeeze did
🔑 Your API key is a bearer instrument: OpenCode, LiteLLM, Railway and a security checklist for the weekend
🪪 Someone opened a Cash App in her name and she's the one facing prison
💼 Wall Street keeps building ways to own bitcoin without owning bitcoin: BlackRock's PBIT and MSCI's new rule
⚡️ Tokens get cheaper, compute gets scarcer, and miners sit on the power

Notes de l’épisode
Bank of America admitted it willfully broke the Bank Secrecy Act for seven years, paid $1.2 billion and nobody is going to jail. The Samourai Wallet devs wrote software that never touched a dime of anyone's money and they're sitting in federal prison.
Marty Bent and Thomas Pacchia are live in New York to break down the two-tier justice system, the central bankers' bank admitting money runs on bailouts, and the rest of the week in bitcoin, AI and freedom tech.
On today's show:
⚖️ Bank of America's $1.2B fine vs. Samourai and Roman Storm: FinCEN told SDNY Samourai wasn't a money transmitter. They charged them anyway.
🏦 The OCC's debanking report: banks cut off bitcoin businesses and used SAR secrecy to explain nothing
📜 The BIS says money needs "backstops that socialise the inherent fragility." Translation: bailouts. They also admit bitcoin removes trust in an issuer.
🔓 Ledger drain update: a confirmed hardware implant, $100M+ taken from 300+ wallets, and how to buy and verify a hardware wallet
🤖 If copying is free, what's left to own? AI clones of Word, Xbox embracing decompiles and a dead QuickBooks license
⚡️ DOE puts PJM's backup generators on standby in October, and why miners are the best load on the grid
📉 Measured in gold, the average Brit is poorer than in 1975

India | Central Bank Pushes Digital Asset Prohibition
India’s central bank is again pursuing a digital asset policy “leaning toward prohibition,” according to new government documents examined by Reuters. The Reserve Bank of India wants banks and regulated financial institutions barred from holding, trading, or offering exposure to digital assets and stablecoins. Officials also warn that offshore exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms are difficult to track. The documents estimate that India has nearly 39 million digital asset investors holding roughly $2.1 billion in digital assets. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Bangladesh | Central Bank Mandates State QR Payment System
Starting July 1, every merchant QR code in Bangladesh will be replaced by a government-backed standard. This comes after Bangladesh Bank announced that Bangla QR, its QR code system, will become mandatory. Banks and payments providers are required to update their existing merchant QR codes to Bangla QR by June 30 or face financial penalties. Officials claim the system will help create more digital transaction records, shrink the informal economy, improve tax collection, and strengthen anti-money laundering efforts. It also comes as part of the central bank’s efforts to reduce reliance on more private payment methods, such as cash. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Cambodia Launches Smart Policing Initiative in Phnom Penh
Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior formally launched a China-backed “Smart Police” initiative in the capital city of Phnom Penh. The new policing system will connect 487 cameras equipped with AI-powered identity and vehicle tracking and send all video feeds into a new centralized command center. To support the rollout, Chinese-backed regional security partners are providing financial and technical support for the project and have pledged to expand the camera grid in the future. Cambodian officials say the project will protect residents and tourists. But in a country where dissent is overtly and systematically punished, these new AI-powered systems can easily double as a surveillance machine capable of identifying anyone who criticizes the ruling party.

India | Frozen Account Leaves Savings Out of Reach
In India, a man named Shiva spent years building a savings fund for his son’s wedding. The money came from small jobs and side work, carefully set aside in a separate bank account opened specifically for that purpose. But when the balance exceeded a certain threshold, the financial system automatically froze the account. Overnight, Shiva had been cut off from his own money. When the issue was escalated to the branch manager of his bank, they explained that the freeze was automatically imposed from the central bank’s IT system, and there was nothing they could do. To recover access, he was prompted to complete forms written in English, a language he could not easily navigate. Ultimately, the account was restored only after outside intervention from a friend who helped push the case through a process Shiva could not resolve on his own. FinancialFreedomReport.org

China Developing AI-Powered Tools to Predict Dissent
Leaked documents revealed that Chinese technology company, Geedge Networks, is developing AI-powered tools aimed at predicting who might one day criticize the CCP. Working with MESA Lab, a regime-backed research lab, Geedge is reportedly building behavioral profiles of individuals based on their social media, location data, telecommunications, and online activity. AI models could then sift through profiles and spotlight those who might be a political risk. There is no evidence the technology is finalized or deployed, but if deployed, China’s surveillance system could become a tool to chill dissent before it ever begins. FinancialFreedomReport.org

North Korea | Dictatorship Implements Rice Price Controls
North Korea’s authoritarian regime is attempting to cap rice prices after a sharp food price surge, but the policy is making the shortage worse. According to Daily NK, the regime ordered local officials to stop street vendors from selling rice above a state-imposed ceiling. This action was in response to rice prices rising above 30,000 North Korean won ($33.33) per kilogram. Officials and undercover agents are now inspecting markets, checking sellers’ account books, and confiscating rice from those accused of charging too much. Traders are responding by pulling rice from public stalls and selling it privately from homes or other hidden locations. For North Koreans, the state’s actions make rice harder to find and more expensive. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Thailand | Cash Handout Expands State Digital Payments
Thailand’s regime approved the “Thai Help Thai Plus” scheme, a 175 billion baht relief program covering more than 43 million people. State welfare cardholders will receive 1,000 baht per month automatically, while 30 million others can register through the Pao Tang app for a 60/40 co-payment benefit worth up to 4,000 baht over four months. The funds can only be used at participating merchants between 6 am and 11 pm through the state-linked wallet app, and cash withdrawals are prohibited. The program may help households facing surging fuel and living costs, but it also deepens reliance on government-controlled digital payment infrastructure. When economic relief is tied to identification, apps, spending rules, and approved merchants, support can quickly become another layer of state control. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Indonesia | Digital Payment System with China Established
China and Indonesia launched a cross‑border QR payment system connecting China’s major payment apps with Indonesia’s QRIS network, the country’s national digital payment standard, used by over 50 million people. At launch, the system supports Alipay and UnionPay (China’s dominant mobile payment platform and the national payment network, respectively), allowing travelers and residents from both countries to scan and pay across borders, with transactions settled directly in yuan and rupiah under a local currency settlement framework.

Russia | VPN and Digital Asset Crackdown Deepens Digital and Financial Control
The Russian regime is once again escalating control over both internet access and digital assets. Officials have ordered more than 20 major companies — including banks, retailers, and media outlets — to actively block users from accessing their platforms via virtual private network (VPN) services. To enforce the measures, officials handed companies a blacklist of prohibited VPNs along with instructions for detecting and blocking them. Firms that refuse to comply risk losing privileged regulatory status, including tax benefits and mandatory pre-installation on devices sold in Russia. Simultaneously, Russia’s central bank is pushing new rules requiring identity verification for digital asset traders using domestic platforms, which would make it harder for Russians to withdraw funds into self-custodial wallets without authoritarian state permission. Together, the measures tighten control over two of the last available avenues for digital and financial privacy in Russia. FinancialFreedomReport.org

In Iran, the regime has ordered the identification and seizure of assets of more than 100 citizens living abroad, including freezing their bank accounts. Those targeted reportedly include journalists, media workers, public figures, and other Iranians accused of supporting opposition groups from outside the country. The move comes as Iran’s regime-imposed internet blackout stretches beyond 43 days, leaving millions unable to access independent information and largely cut off from the outside world.

Russia | Banks to Use State Messenger for Transaction Verification
Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development is drafting legislation that would require banks to confirm customer financial operations through Max, a Kremlin-controlled messaging app. In practice, instead of confirming transactions within their banking app (or via SMS), users would receive a message in the Max app and must approve the action there to complete it. The proposal applies to undefined “significant” actions, granting officials broad discretion over which financial activities require approval. This would insert state-run app verification into everyday banking. And if Max goes down, significant financial activity may stop entirely. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Russia | Record Bank Withdrawals as Surveillance and Account Freezes Surge
Russian residents withdrew over 1.6 trillion rubles ($19.7 billion) from banks in January, mainly due to declining trust in the state-controlled financial system. This exodus follows a significant change in banking oversight, as the central bank doubled the number of suspicious activity indicators, the digital signals that automatically trigger account freezes. Allegedly aimed at preventing fraud, these new criteria temporarily blocked as many as three million bank accounts and cards in early January. To tighten its grip, the Interior Ministry proposed capping cash withdrawals at 50,000 rubles ($615) for flagged accounts, while a $10,000 lifetime limit on foreign currency withdrawals was recently extended through Sept. 9. All these regulations reinforce the digital limitations on Russian savers, making physical cash one of their few remaining protections against state overreach. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Uganda | Regime Freezes Bank Accounts of Major NGOs
The Museveni regime has frozen the bank accounts of several leading human rights organizations, escalating the financial repression of civil society. Uganda’s Financial Intelligence Authority, responsible for monitoring money laundering, froze both institutional and personal accounts to investigate funding received from abroad. Organizations impacted include Chapter Four Uganda, the African Institute for Investigative Journalism, and the Agora Centre for Research, which was co-founded by 2023 Oslo Freedom Forum speaker Agather Atuhaire.

Asia | States Ration Energy as Fuel Prices Surge
As the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping amid conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States, governments across Asia are rushing to reduce energy use as fuel prices climb and supply issues strain economies reliant on Middle Eastern oil. Bangladesh has limited the supply of fuel and closed universities to save electricity. Pakistan shut schools and shifted services online, while the Philippines adopted a four-day workweek for some government offices. Vietnam and Thailand are promoting remote work, and South Korea has set a fuel price cap for the first time in nearly three decades. As we saw after the outbreak of COVID, authoritarian regimes often exploit macroeconomic crises to expand and cement their control. https://FinancialFreedomReport.org

Turkey | Crackdown on Currency Exchange
Turkish officials have stepped up their enforcement of unregistered foreign currency exchanges in major cities and tourist areas. Since 2018, officials have suspended the operations of 859 unlicensed businesses. The crackdown comes as many people in Turkey increasingly seek other currencies to protect their savings from inflation and the long-term decline of the Turkish lira. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Gabon | Government Suspends Social Media Access Nationwide
Last week, officials in Gabon suspended access to social media platforms indefinitely. To justify the suspension, the country’s telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country’s institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people’s ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

• Russia to Scale Internet Filtering with AI
Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet regulator, is building an AI-powered censorship system with a 2.27 billion ruble ($29 million) budget. According to analysts, the system will use AI to instantly block mirror sites hosting banned content and, more ominously, to identify the people creating those mirrors. The move would further restrict the space for dissent and independent online information in Russia. FinancialFreedomReport.org
