💥 A jaw-dropping $330 million in Bitcoin — gone. A US senior citizen who held onto 3,520 BTC since 2017 just lost it all to a scammer armed with nothing but a LinkedIn profile and a fake Coinbase story. It’s now the **5th largest crypto theft in history**, and a brutal lesson in digital asset security.

🛡️ But it’s not all bad news. A major win for **crypto privacy** this week as a federal judge **blocks the Treasury’s sanctions on Tornado Cash**, calling them unlawful. This landmark decision could reshape how governments treat open-source code and privacy-preserving tools.

🚫 Meanwhile, the SEC is back to its favorite game — **delaying ETF approvals**, this time for Dogecoin and XRP. Expect more of the same until meme coins become mortgage-backed securities.

👉 In this episode of Protocol Pulse: high-stakes scams, federal court wins, and the bureaucratic ballet of ETF delays.

🧠 Crypto security tip of the day: If someone calls claiming to be from Coinbase? Hang up. Burn the phone.
