Kaspersky Lab has uncovered a new infostealer malware named Stealka, which spreads through fake game modifications and pirated software on sites like GitHub and Google Sites. Detected in November 2025, it attacks over 100 browsers and 80+ cryptocurrency wallets, such as MetaMask, Binance, Coinbase, Phantom, and Trust Wallet, to pilfer login details, private keys, and seed phrases.

Users are urged to avoid suspicious downloads to protect their assets.

Midnight is a new privacy-focused blockchain built on the Cardano network. It has recently gained significant attention after its 24-hour trading volume soared to nearly $8Bn, driving the NIGHT crypto price up +65% in the past week, to $0.1025.

With the controversy surrounding the Solana ecosystem, namely the ongoing legal battle accusing Solana, Pump.fun, and Jupiter of insider trading and causing billions in investor losses, traders are wondering whether Midnight crypto could finally be the catalyst for Cardano to overtake Solana

According to Bloomberg, Ghana’s parliament has approved legislation to legalize and regulate cryptocurrency activity, aiming to address growing central bank concerns over unregulated usage. The new Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill introduces licensing requirements for crypto platforms and formal oversight of the sector, according to the Bank of Ghana.

Officials estimate that around 3 million Ghanaians, roughly 17% of the adult population, already use digital assets, raising implications for cedi management. Regulators say the framework will improve transparency, lower banking costs, and support businesses. Crypto transactions in Ghana reached an estimated $3 billion in the year to June 2024.

Digital asset investment products recorded $952 million in outflows last week, ending a four-week run of inflows, according to CoinShares. The reversal followed delays to the US Clarity Act, which prolonged regulatory uncertainty and pressured investor sentiment. Outflows were almost entirely concentrated in the US, totaling $990 million, while Canada and Germany posted modest inflows. Ethereum saw the largest withdrawals at $555 million, with Bitcoin close behind at $460 million. Meanwhile, Solana and XRP continued to attract capital, suggesting investors remain selective rather than broadly risk-off.
