UAE Denies Golden Visa Link to $100K Staking Offer From TON Foundation

 

The TON Foundation has announced a program claiming investors could secure a UAE Golden Visa by staking $100,000 worth of the cryptocurrency, while regulators say crypto isn’t a ticket to residency.

 TON Foundation CEO Max Crown said on X that staking toncoin plus paying a $35,000 fee would grant applicants a 10-year visa for themselves and their families. 

The foundation promised a faster route to residency than traditional paths tied to real estate or bank deposits, which often require investments over $500,000. Toncoin briefly climbed above $3.06 before settling near $2.81 as a result.

But on Monday, the Emirates News Agency reported that three federal regulators jointly denied that the UAE offers Golden Visas in exchange for crypto holdings. 

Officials insisted visas remain tied to established categories, like business investment or specialized talent, not token staking.

Vitalik Buterin Proposes Gas Cap to Shield Ethereum From DoS Attacks

 

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wants to rein in runaway transactions that could threaten the network’s stability.

Buterin, alongside Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrstätter, has proposed EIP-7983, which would cap the gas any single transaction can consume at 16.77 million. 

Right now, one transaction could theoretically swallow the entire block’s gas allowance, leaving the network vulnerable to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and unpredictable performance.

Beyond bolstering security, the cap could ease Ethereum’s transition toward zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs). 

These systems rely on concise proofs and efficient computation, and the proposed cap would encourage splitting big tasks into smaller chunks compatible with zkVM processing.

Under the plan, any transaction attempting to use more than 16.77 million gas would get rejected before it enters the network. 

The cap is separate from the overall block gas limit, which miners and validators still control. Buterin and Wahrstätter picked the 16.77 million threshold to support advanced DeFi operations and contract deployments without burdening the network.

US Secret Service Expands Global Crypto Training Push

 

The US Secret Service is taking its fight against crypto scams global. The agency’s Global Investigative Operations Center (GIOC) has trained law enforcement in over 60 countries to trace funds across the blockchain and recover stolen crypto. 

Secret Service teams visited Bermuda last month, teaching local officers how to dig into digital trails hidden behind slick investment sites and anonymous wallets.

The agency says it has seized nearly $400 million in digital assets over the past decade, much of it sitting in a cold-storage wallet now among the largest in the world.
