According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Russian Social Foundation received a significant increase in non-standard inquiries about cryptocurrencies among the 37 million hotline calls it handled in 2025. The inquiries primarily focused on whether Russian citizens could receive pensions using cryptocurrencies and whether cryptocurrency mining income would be included in social welfare calculations. The foundation responded that all pensions and social payments are issued in rubles, and that the Russian Federal Tax Service is responsible for cryptocurrency-related tax and income issues. Furthermore, a Chainalysis report shows that Russia received $376.3 billion in cryptocurrencies between July 2024 and June 2025, making it the largest cryptocurrency market in Europe. Currently, the Central Bank of Russia has proposed allowing retail investors, subject to a test, to purchase a maximum of 300,000 rubles worth of specific cryptocurrencies annually.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that during discussions with oil executives in the East Room of the White House regarding control of Venezuela's energy industry, US President Trump wore a small badge on his suit lapel that read "Happy Trump." The badge, located below the traditional American flag emblem, features a large, cartoonish head with an exaggerated expression. The president stated that the badge was a gift and, despite his dissatisfaction, called it "Happy Trump." He had previously worn a similar badge at Tulsi Gabbard's inauguration ceremony in February. Furthermore, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr wore a gold badge depicting the profile of the US president in April.
