## Resource

Revolut reportedly disclosed sensitive customer information after processing fraudulent government information requests, potentially exposing passports, verification selfies, home addresses, account statements and complete transaction histories including Bitcoin activity. We examine how the incident occurred, why Bitcoin and its cryptography were never compromised, and the privacy risks created when centralized KYC databases permanently connect personal identities with financial activity. Plus, the latest developments surrounding the U.S. CLARITY Act, institutional Bitcoin adoption and Eric Trump's comments on AI accelerating Bitcoin into the mainstream. 📺 Prefer video?
