Crypto Investment Fraud Lands UK Scammers in Prison

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 19:26:49 -0000

In a landmark enforcement case, two men behind a major crypto investment fraud operation in the United Kingdom have been sentenced to prison for their role in scamming dozens of victims out of more than £1.5 million. The scheme involved selling fake cryptocurrency investments through cold calls and boiler room tactics — a method increasingly … Continue reading "Crypto Investment Fraud Lands UK Scammers in Prison"

The scheme involved selling fake cryptocurrency investments through cold calls and boiler room tactics — a method increasingly used by fraudsters to target unsuspecting investors eager to participate in the fast-moving digital asset space. <h2 data-start="855" data-end="903">FCA Cracks Down on Crypto Investment Fraud</h2> The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) charged Raymondip Bedi and Patrick Mavanga with conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. According to the FCA, the pair ran an operation that pitched non-existent cryptocurrency opportunities, falsely promising high returns. Instead, they siphoned the victims’ money into personal accounts, with funds spent on luxury items and lifestyle expenses. The FCA’s investigation revealed that many victims were pressured into investing through aggressive sales tactics and false claims about the legitimacy of the assets. At Southwark Crown Court, Bedi was sentenced to five years and four months, while Mavanga received a six-and-a-half-year prison term. “Bedi and Mavanga ruthlessly defrauded dozens of innocent victims, and it is right that they have received these prison sentences,” said Steve Smart, joint executive director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA. “Criminals need to be clear that there is a cost to committing crime and we will seek to make them pay.” <h2 data-start="1967" data-end="2008">Victims Targeted Through Cold Calls</h2> The scam operated similarly to a boiler room, a term used to describe high-pressure sales environments where victims are coerced into investing in worthless or fake assets. Many of the individuals targeted were retail investors with little knowledge of crypto markets. Lured by the promise of rapid gains and professional-looking materials, they handed over thousands of pounds — only to realize later that the investments never existed. Some victims had invested their life savings, and the emotional and financial toll has been devastating. According to victim impact statements submitted during sentencing, several people were left in debt, and others reported mental health issues stemming from the stress of the scam. <h2 data-start="2751" data-end="2788">Authorities Seek Asset Recovery</h2> In addition to prison time, the FCA has launched confiscation proceedings against Bedi and Mavanga under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The goal is to disgorge illicit profits and compensate victims where possible. The case signals a more aggressive posture by U.K. regulators in cracking down on crypto investment fraud. In recent months, the FCA has expanded its enforcement efforts against unauthorized crypto operators and tightened rules around marketing digital assets. <h2 data-start="3285" data-end="3332">Growing Scrutiny on Crypto Scams Globally</h2> While this case took place in the U.K., the problem of crypto-related fraud is global in scope. In the U.S., the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Securities and Exchange Commission</a> (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have both ramped up enforcement. In one recent case, the SEC charged a promoter for misleading investors about a tokenized project’s revenue potential. Public companies that facilitate crypto transactions are also under scrutiny. Exchanges like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) have been urged by regulators to improve transparency and investor protections as scams continue to emerge in the space. <h2 data-start="3976" data-end="4021">Final Thoughts: A Warning to Fraudsters</h2> The U.K. court’s sentencing sends a clear message:<a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/trump-crypto-investment-makes-toymaker-surge/"> crypto investment</a> fraud will not go unpunished. As crypto markets evolve, law enforcement and regulators are ramping up their ability to detect and dismantle fraudulent schemes — and hold perpetrators accountable. For retail investors, the case is a stark reminder to remain cautious. Promises of guaranteed returns and unsolicited investment offers are red flags. Investors should verify credentials and check if firms are authorized by the FCA or other regulatory bodies. As Steve Smart of the FCA warned, “We will not hesitate to pursue those who exploit trust and target the vulnerable through crypto scams.” The era of unregulated crypto promotion is coming to an end — and those who cross the line now risk not just financial penalties, but prison.

Ethereum Institutional Adoption Hits New Heights in Cannes

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 19:20:31 -0000

Ethereum institutional adoption is moving from theory to reality, as the network proves its staying power in the evolving world of global finance. At the recent Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) held in Cannes, France, industry leaders, developers, and institutional giants gathered to spotlight Ethereum’s growing role as the infrastructure layer of Wall Street and beyond. … Continue reading "Ethereum Institutional Adoption Hits New Heights in Cannes"

<figure><img width="696" height="464" src="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/3180-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Ethereum institutional adoption" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/3180-1.jpg 696w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/3180-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/3180-1-336x223.jpg 336w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 60vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px" /></figure>Ethereum institutional adoption is moving from theory to reality, as the network proves its staying power in the evolving world of global finance. At the recent Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) held in Cannes, France, industry leaders, developers, and institutional giants gathered to spotlight Ethereum’s growing role as the infrastructure layer of Wall Street and beyond. The scene was more Cannes Film Festival than crypto conference — with the iconic red-carpeted Palais des Festivals hosting keynotes instead of movie premieres. But the real star of the show was Ethereum’s accelerating transformation from decentralized experiment to the foundation of institutional finance. <h2 data-start="1085" data-end="1120">Robinhood’s Bold Crypto Pivot</h2> One of the most striking moments of the week came when Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) announced it would launch tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs for European users via Arbitrum, a Layer 2 protocol built on Ethereum. This marks a historic milestone — making Robinhood the first publicly traded U.S. company to launch tokenized equities on a blockchain. The move not only fueled a rally in Robinhood stock — pushing it over $100 for the first time — but also underlined the momentum of Ethereum institutional adoption. Rather than speculative hype, the conversation this year centered on Ethereum’s practical use as Wall Street’s new plumbing. <h2 data-start="1762" data-end="1796">Ethereum as a Treasury Asset</h2> Several public companies are already reshaping their financial strategies around Ethereum. BitMine Immersion Technologies (OTC:BMNR) saw a meteoric 1,200% gain after declaring ether as its primary treasury reserve. Similarly, Bit Digital (NASDAQ:BTBT), which shifted away from bitcoin mining to focus solely on Ethereum staking, climbed over 34% in a single week. SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ:SBET) added more than $20 million worth of ether to its balance sheet, gaining over 28% in one day. These bold moves signal a growing trend: Ethereum is not just a technology platform; it’s an emerging financial asset and strategic pillar for companies embracing the future of decentralized finance. <h2 data-start="2494" data-end="2540">Institutions Bet on Ethereum’s Stability</h2> While Ethereum’s price remains down over 20% year-to-date and trails Bitcoin in market cap, its utility and reliability are winning over institutional players. Ether ETFs have seen two consecutive months of net inflows, signaling renewed investor confidence. According to CoinGlass, these funds now manage around $11 billion in assets — a modest sum compared to $138 billion for Bitcoin ETFs, but growing steadily. Paul Brody, Global Blockchain Leader at EY, emphasized <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/in/investing/cryptocurrency/ethereum-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum’s long-term appeal</a>: “Institutions are plugging Ethereum into core financial systems not just because it’s fast or cheap, but because it offers dependable, programmable functionality.” Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, echoed the sentiment. In his keynote at EthCC, he said institutions consistently praise Ethereum’s reliability: “They value that it doesn’t go down.” <h2 data-start="3403" data-end="3456">The Tokenized Future Is Being Built on Ethereum</h2> The momentum behind Ethereum institutional adoption is not just theoretical. Deutsche Bank is developing a tokenization platform on zkSync, a Layer 2 network on Ethereum, to help manage tokenized funds and stablecoins. Meanwhile, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) has filed with the SEC to offer trading of tokenized public equities, and Kraken is preparing to launch 24/7 tokenized stock trading in select international markets. Stablecoins continue to dominate Ethereum’s financial rails. Circle’s USDC — the second-largest stablecoin — still processes about 65% of its volume on Ethereum. And BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) is pioneering institutional finance on Ethereum with its BUIDL fund, offering real-time redemptions in USDC. <h2 data-start="4180" data-end="4228">The Road Ahead: Scaling Without Compromise</h2> Despite competition from faster blockchains like Solana, Ethereum’s core values — neutrality, censorship resistance, and security — remain its greatest strengths. Tomasz Stańczak of the Ethereum Foundation noted that institutions choose Ethereum because it guarantees fairness, reliability, and transparent execution. The final takeaway from Cannes? Ethereum institutional adoption isn’t a trend — it’s a structural transformation. With developers, regulators, and corporations aligning behind <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/ethereum-tokenization-sparks-stock-rally/#google_vignette">Ethereum</a>, the network is poised to power the financial systems of the future. As Buterin put it: “We don’t just want to succeed. We want to be something that is worthy of succeeding.” Featured Image: Freepik <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please See Disclaimer</a>

CES: A Global Tech Industry Barometer Spanning Half a Century Since its founding in 1967, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) has been a global barometer for the tech industry. From smartphones, tablets, and the Internet of Things to wearables, smart homes, autonomous driving, and AI voice assistants — countless groundbreaking hardware products have made their global debut at CES. It’s no exaggeration to say that nearly every major shift in human lifestyle over the past 60 years can be traced back to a CES showcase. What makes CES so significant is not just its display of new technologies, but its ability to define how those technologies will truly transform the world. CES is not only the tech industry’s annual proving ground — it is a “real-world showroom” forecasting the future of how we live. From DePIN to MetaDePIN: Reconstructing the Value of Hardware, Data, and Incentives In the early stages of Web3, the conversation centered around protocols, assets, and financial logic. Since 2024, however, a new trend has started to gain traction: DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks). DePIN is emerging as one of the most tangible and impactful sectors within the Web3 landscape. Physical-world devices such as routers, electric vehicles, cameras, home gateways, and logistics trackers are no longer just networked — they are becoming on-chain. These devices serve as “nodes” in blockchain networks, participating in global coordination and generating real-world revenue. DePIN brings the concept of “on-chain” from virtual environments into physical spaces — from lines of code to cities and homes. The number of DePIN projects worldwide has grown from 650 in 2022 to 1,170 in 2024 — an almost 12-fold increase. More than 13 million devices now participate in DePIN networks daily. According to Messari, the DePIN market is projected to reach a value of $3.5 trillion by 2028. Today, with the rise of use cases such as RWA (Real World Assets), AI agents, and edge computing, DePIN is moving beyond simple hotspot miners and low-power devices. It is evolving into a broader network of devices, economic systems, and real-world applications: a payment card linked directly to on-chain DeFi networks; an electric vehicle automatically recording carbon credits on-chain and navigating via AI; a network of AI-powered cameras capturing urban traffic data, registering it on-chain, and triggering incentive mechanisms. This converging trend is what we call MetaDePIN — a new paradigm of DePIN that spans hardware form factors, incentive protocols, AI systems, and real-world assets. DePIN Expo 2025: The “Web3 CES” Officially Launches in Hong Kong To showcase the powerful convergence of hardware and blockchain, DePIN Expo 2025 will be held on August 27–28, 2025, at Cyberport, Hong Kong. This is the world’s first industry-level event dedicated to the DePIN concept, and the first large-scale consumer tech expo in Web3 history centered around on-chain hardware. Event Highlights: <ul type="disc"> <li>Industry First: The world’s first flagship event focused on DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks)</li> <li>Top-Level Support: Guided by the Hong Kong SAR government, with collaboration from Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and Barron’s China</li> <li>Cross-Industry Integration: Spotlight on DePIN × RWA, AI convergence, machine economy, hardware manufacturing, cross-border logistics, and immersive real-world demos</li> <li>Business Enablement: Dedicated zones for bulk trading and private traffic matchmaking to accelerate large-scale deployment and precise conversion for DePIN projects</li> </ul> The goal of DePIN Expo is not merely to showcase “how devices go on-chain,” but to create a Web3 version of CES — a platform that bridges technological breakthroughs and real-world experiences, connects capital markets with manufacturing networks, and links the on-chain world with the physical economy. On-site, the expo will feature dozens of MetaDePIN devicesacross seven key application categories, including compute, network, sensing, identity, energy, logistics, and infrastructure: <ul type="disc"> <li>Compute: Home mining rigs, AI companions, smart speakers, gaming render nodes, edge computing terminals</li> <li>Wireless: DePIN smartphones, eSIM cards, 5G routers, home WiFi hotspot devices, broadband boxes</li> <li>Sensors: Smartwatches, smart rings, cameras, dashcams, video doorbells, air quality monitors</li> <li>Identity: Iris scanners, U-cards, hardware wallets, Web3 ID cards, mobile identity tags</li> <li>Energy: Residential solar panels, EV charging adapters, home battery storage systems, shared charging stations</li> <li>Logistics: Autonomous vehicles, robots, encrypted delivery boxes, cold-chain logistics nodes</li> <li>Infrastructure: Public blockchains, oracles, decentralized data storage, smart contract gateways, trusted hardware modules</li> </ul> Event Agenda: <ul type="disc"> <li>August 26 (Evening): Official Event</li> </ul> DePIN Power On Night <ul type="disc"> <li>August 27 (Morning): Opening Day</li> </ul> Government representatives and industry leaders will discuss the future of DePIN applications. Closed-door sessions and on-site visits will kick off a new chapter in on-chain and real-world integration. <ul type="disc"> <li>August 27 (Afternoon): DePIN × Everything</li> </ul> Focus on DePIN’s core role in connecting millions of users, reshaping asset paradigms, and expanding the crypto hardware ecosystem. <ul type="disc"> <li>August 27 (Evening): Side Event</li> </ul> DePIN After Dark: Builder & KOL Private Night <ul type="disc"> <li>August 28 (Morning): DePIN × AI</li> </ul> Explore how DePIN and AI are redefining the compute value stack, enabling device autonomy, on-chain model deployment, and large-scale machine economy applications. <ul type="disc"> <li>August 28 (Afternoon): DePIN × RWA</li> </ul> Deep dive into how DePIN enables the tokenization of real-world assets—reconstructing data ownership, revenue models, and trust layers for global asset allocation. <ul type="disc"> <li>August 28 (Evening): Official Event</li> </ul> DePIN Never Offline Night In addition, DePIN Expo 2025 will host a series of high-level forums in collaboration with Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Barron’s China, Bitcoin Magazine, and others — spotlighting topics like AI × DePIN, RWA asset validation, and global node ecosystems. For the first time, the event will also connect the entire value chain — from design and manufacturing to overseas deployment — creating a comprehensive DePIN industry collaboration platform. Hong Kong: The Premier Global Hub for DePIN As one of the few international financial cities actively supporting the convergence of Web3 and the real world, Hong Kong is emerging as the ideal ground for the rise of DePIN. In recent years, the Hong Kong SAR government has introduced a regulatory framework for virtual assets, launched pilot programs for stablecoins and tokenized assets, and sent strong policy signals in support of real-world Web3 applications. Geographically, Hong Kong is within a one-hour reach of Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Foshan — major hardware manufacturing and OEM hubs in mainland China. This proximity enables a seamless link between on-chain demand and offline factories, creating a new collaborative model of “decentralized orders + physical production lines,” and providing DePIN with unprecedented advantages in manufacturing and deployment. At the same time, Hong Kong is home to leading exchanges and crypto funds, and serves as a natural gateway to emerging markets such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the Middle East. Over the past year, the city has hosted a series of major international crypto conferences (such as Consensus Hong Kong and Bitcoin Asia), fueling a powerful convergence of capital and talent and cementing its role as a preferred destination for Web3 entrepreneurship and global exchange. At DePIN Expo 2025, a dedicated “DePIN Urban Demo Zone” will be unveiled, using Hong Kong as a prototype to showcase how on-chain hardware can be deployed, operated, and settled at a city scale. This marks the first time in Web3 history that DePIN is being presented through a city-wide lens, signifying a shift from “hardware lab” to “infrastructure platform.” The successful hosting of DePIN Expo 2025 will establish Hong Kong as the global flagship for a “Web3 CES,” further solidifying its position as a leading center of crypto innovation in Asia and beyond. We look forward to it together.

Since its launch just 18 months ago, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has ballooned to over $75 billion in assets under management (AUM). This meteoric rise signals a powerful shift: crypto is no longer a fringe asset—it’s becoming a core component of institutional portfolios. The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF now generates more annual fee revenue than its own flagship equity fund, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:IVV), despite managing just a fraction of the assets. As the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mulls the approval of BlackRock’s proposed in-kind redemption model, investors and analysts alike are watching closely. Could this change mark the final step toward full crypto mainstream adoption? <h2 data-start="1194" data-end="1229">Demand Defies the Fee Structure</h2> IBIT’s 0.25% management fee may seem high compared to traditional ETFs, but it hasn’t scared off investors. In fact, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has captured $52 billion of the $54 billion total inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs to date. Its fee revenue—an estimated $187 million annually—has already outpaced the long-established IVV. This speaks volumes: investors are willing to pay more for secure, regulated access to Bitcoin. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s characterization of Bitcoin as a “flight to quality” and a modern diversification asset only underscores this strategic repositioning. In BlackRock’s latest Q2 report, analysts highlight Bitcoin’s growing role in diversifying portfolios in an age when traditional asset correlations—particularly between stocks and bonds—are breaking down. Bitcoin’s relatively low correlation with both equities and bonds makes it an increasingly attractive hedge in today’s volatile macro environment. <h2 data-start="2209" data-end="2258">The SEC and the Future of In-Kind Redemptions</h2> The SEC’s decision on whether to allow in-kind redemptions—where investors can exchange actual Bitcoin for ETF shares—is delayed until late 2025. The outcome could be a game-changer for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF and the broader crypto investment landscape. Currently, cash-based redemptions are standard for spot Bitcoin ETFs. But in-kind functionality could: <ul data-start="2630" data-end="2803"> <li data-start="2630" data-end="2678"> Lower operational costs for institutions </li> <li data-start="2679" data-end="2720"> Enhance liquidity and scalability </li> <li data-start="2721" data-end="2803"> Attract even more conservative capital, such as pension funds and endowments </li> </ul> Approval would send a strong message that regulators see Bitcoin not only as a viable asset but as a foundational building block for the next generation of investment products. <h2 data-start="2988" data-end="3044">Portfolio Revolution: The 60/40 Model Under Pressure</h2> For decades, the 60% equity/40% bond portfolio mix has ruled institutional investing. But IBIT’s performance—and Bitcoin’s inverse correlation with both major asset classes—suggests a shake-up is underway. BlackRock’s internal data shows that adding 1–2% Bitcoin allocation to a 60/40 portfolio meaningfully boosts risk-adjusted returns. With the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF acting as the bridge between crypto and traditional finance, asset managers are starting to rethink allocation frameworks. While IBIT’s $75 billion AUM is still small compared to BlackRock’s total ETF footprint, it represents a significant toehold—and a beachhead for crypto’s institutional conquest. <h2 data-start="3737" data-end="3768">Key Takeaways for Investors</h2> <ul data-start="3770" data-end="4240"> <li data-start="3770" data-end="3901"> Watch the SEC: The late-2025 ruling on in-kind redemptions could unleash a wave of new inflows—or force a regulatory rethink. </li> <li data-start="3902" data-end="4071"> Consider IBIT for Regulated Exposure: Investors wary of self-custody or unregulated exchanges can rely on the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF for credible crypto access. </li> <li data-start="4072" data-end="4240"> Track Macro Trends: Economic slowdowns, central bank policy shifts, and geopolitical uncertainty all favor Bitcoin as a “crisis hedge,” reinforcing IBIT’s appeal. </li> </ul> <h2 data-start="4247" data-end="4299">Conclusion: Crypto’s Institutional Era Has Begun</h2> The success of the <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/blackrock-bitcoin-etp-a-landmark-move-for-european-crypto-investors/">BlackRock</a> Bitcoin ETF marks a turning point in crypto’s evolution. It’s not just about price action anymore—it’s about legitimacy, scale, and integration into the financial mainstream. With the SEC’s decision looming and institutional interest accelerating, IBIT could become the blueprint for a new era in digital asset investing. The message for investors is clear: crypto’s fringe days are over. Whether through fee-generating ETFs or core asset allocations, Bitcoin has entered the institutional conversation—and it’s here to stay.

Bitcoin Price Forecast: Arthur Hayes Warns of Dip to $90K

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 20:33:10 -0000

Bitcoin (BTC) may be hovering near record highs, but crypto entrepreneur and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is issuing a word of caution. According to Hayes, the Bitcoin price forecast now includes a possible retracement to $90,000—even as the long-term trend remains bullish. The warning comes in the wake of the passage of President Donald Trump’s … Continue reading "Bitcoin Price Forecast: Arthur Hayes Warns of Dip to $90K"

According to Hayes, the Bitcoin price forecast now includes a possible retracement to $90,000—even as the long-term trend remains bullish. The warning comes in the wake of the passage of President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”, which combines tax cuts with an increase in the U.S. debt ceiling. While this may sound like a market-friendly move, Hayes argues it could temporarily drain liquidity from financial markets—and drag down Bitcoin with it. <h2 data-start="971" data-end="1027">Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and the Treasury Impact</h2> On Wednesday, July 2, the House passed Trump’s new fiscal bill, which had already cleared the Senate. President Trump is expected to sign it into law on Independence Day, July 4. The bill, which aims to cut taxes and raise the debt ceiling, may sound pro-growth at first glance. But Hayes warns of short-term fallout for risk assets, including Bitcoin. In his latest blog post titled “Quid Pro Stablecoin,” Hayes said that the U.S. Treasury would likely refill its General Account (TGA) after the bill passes. Doing so would require the Treasury to issue new debt, soaking up liquidity from the financial system—capital that would otherwise flow into risk assets like crypto. “Proceed with caution,” Hayes wrote. “The bull market might be interrupted for a short period of time.” <h2 data-start="1835" data-end="1880">Bitcoin Near Highs—But a Dip Could Follow</h2> As of Thursday, Bitcoin was trading at $109,594, according to CoinGecko, just 2% off its all-time high of $111,814 set in May. The coin has gained over 2% in the last seven days, but momentum is slowing. Despite the recent rally, Hayes believes the Bitcoin price forecast includes a pullback to $90,000 in the near future. However, he maintains a long-term bullish stance, calling any correction a temporary shakeout. <h2 data-start="2323" data-end="2379">Hayes: Bitcoin Still on Track for $1 Million by 2028</h2> This isn’t the first time Hayes has made bold predictions. In May, he stated that Bitcoin could hit $1 million per coin by 2028. The rationale? A combination of central bank money printing, growing distrust in U.S. Treasury securities, and increasing demand for decentralized stores of value. According to Hayes, as investors flee U.S. treasuries, they’re likely to pour money into alternative assets like Bitcoin. While the Bitcoin price forecast may include turbulence, the long-term trajectory remains upward—particularly if fiscal and monetary policy continue to devalue fiat currencies. <h2 data-start="3000" data-end="3061">Stablecoins and Fiscal Control: What the GENIUS Act Means</h2> Hayes also warned that the U.S. government’s interest in stablecoins is less about innovation and more about fiscal manipulation. In the same blog post, he argued that the GENIUS Act, passed by the Senate last month, is designed to limit private issuance of stablecoins. Instead, the legislation would allow large banks to issue stablecoins—which could then be used to purchase U.S. Treasuries, effectively helping the government finance its growing debt. While it provides regulatory clarity, Hayes argues this shift could centralize control and suppress innovation in the crypto space. <h2 data-start="3686" data-end="3717">Should You Buy Bitcoin Now?</h2> The short answer: proceed with caution. The Bitcoin price forecast suggests potential for a short-term drop due to macro liquidity shifts, but the long-term picture remains bright. Traders should prepare for volatility as the Treasury ramps up borrowing and stablecoin regulation evolves. Hayes’ projection of a dip to $90,000 might unsettle some investors—but for long-term believers, it could offer a buying opportunity before the next leg up. <h2 data-start="4184" data-end="4202">Final Thoughts</h2> Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is set to reshape fiscal policy and market liquidity in the months ahead. While <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/bitcoin-price-forecast-eyes-110k-breakout/#google_vignette">Bitcoin</a> remains a top-performing asset, Arthur Hayes’ Bitcoin price forecast urges patience amid a shifting macro landscape. In his view, a short-term dip is not a reason to panic—but a reminder that even bull markets come with bumps. For now, crypto investors would be wise to keep one eye on the charts—and the other on Washington.

Ethereum Tokenization Sparks Stock Rally

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 20:49:21 -0000

A renewed surge of interest in Ethereum tokenization has given a strong boost to ether and several related stocks, marking a turning point for the world’s second-largest blockchain platform. As Ethereum (ETH) nears its 10th anniversary at the end of July, investors are revisiting the network’s potential—not just as a cryptocurrency platform but as the … Continue reading "Ethereum Tokenization Sparks Stock Rally"

As Ethereum (ETH) nears its 10th anniversary at the end of July, investors are revisiting the network’s potential—not just as a cryptocurrency platform but as the foundation for a new era of digital finance. On Wednesday, the price of ether rose 5%, according to Coin Metrics, helping drive gains across stocks linked to the Ethereum ecosystem. This price action came despite the coin still being down 24% year-to-date. <h2 data-start="973" data-end="1018">Crypto Stocks Soar on Tokenization News</h2> Several companies with exposure to Ethereum saw notable stock gains on the day. BitMine Immersion Technologies (OTC:BMNR), which recently announced plans to adopt ETH as its primary treasury reserve asset, surged nearly 20%. The stock has skyrocketed over 1,000% since its Ethereum pivot. SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ:SBET), which also integrated an ETH treasury strategy, jumped more than 11%. Bit Digital (NASDAQ:BTBT), which just exited bitcoin mining in favor of Ethereum staking, climbed over 6%. The gains underscore a growing theme: as Ethereum tokenization gains traction, firms realigning their strategies around the Ethereum blockchain are being rewarded by investors. <h2 data-start="1704" data-end="1768">Stablecoins Open the Door to Real-World Asset Tokenization</h2> According to Devin Ryan, head of financial technology research at Citizens, “We’re finally at the point where real use cases are emerging, and stablecoins have been the first version of that at scale.” Stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) are both issued on the Ethereum network and are seen as early examples of real-world assets being tokenized on-chain. These coins provide the basis for broader Ethereum tokenization applications—including tokenized stocks, bonds, and real estate. The momentum is gaining institutional support as well. BlackRock’s (NYSE:BLK) tokenized money market fund, BUIDL (USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund), launched on Ethereum in 2023 and has since expanded across other blockchains. Meanwhile, ether ETFs attracted $40 million in inflows this week, led by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust, after fears that ETH ETFs were turning into “zombie funds.” <h2 data-start="2692" data-end="2734">Robinhood and the Tokenization Trend</h2> Further fueling optimism, Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) announced it will enable the trading of tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs across Europe. The move comes amid a spike in demand for tokenized financial products following the Senate’s advancement of the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill and Circle’s IPO filing in June. These developments represent a key validation of Ethereum’s role in the future of finance. As Tom Lee of Fundstrat put it, Ethereum is “the backbone and architecture” of the stablecoin economy. <h2 data-start="3249" data-end="3281">Ethereum’s Comeback Story?</h2> Despite its 5% rally, ether remains roughly 75% off its all-time high and continues to face headwinds—including weaker revenue, uncertainty about the network’s direction, and increasing competition from blockchains like Solana. Still, as more institutions and fintech platforms adopt Ethereum tokenization strategies, ETH is poised to reassert itself as the go-to infrastructure for digital asset innovation. The <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-tokenization" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tokenization</a> process itself—the act of issuing blockchain-based versions of real-world assets—has been heralded as a multitrillion-dollar opportunity by firms like Citi and BCG. While holders of tokenized assets don’t own the underlying assets outright, the increased liquidity, transparency, and accessibility they offer are driving rapid adoption. Ethereum’s smart contracts make it the ideal network for building and managing these tokenized ecosystems. And with legislative momentum and rising institutional interest, the latest rally may be more than just another crypto fad. As Ethereum turns 10, the excitement around <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/market-news-ethereum-bulls-eye-parabolic-rally-by-2026/">Ethereum</a> tokenization could mark the beginning of a new growth phase—not only for ETH but for the broader digital asset market it anchors.

Elliptic’s ‘Data Fabric’ transforms access to digital asset data and intelligence with Industry’s first ‘data as a service’ (DaaS) model

As the digital asset industry undergoes exponential growth, traditional SaaS solutions delivered through apps or API feeds are no longer meeting the needs of all our customers — particularly when it comes to managing risk exposure, intelligence operations, and compliance requirements. To address this, ‘Elliptic Data Fabric’ offers customers the ability to ingest and subscribe to data streams directly, enabling access to Elliptic’s data and intelligence in the format, schema, and delivery method that best meets their specific needs. Elliptic’s data and intelligence feeds the customer’s internal data lakes, customized workflows and AI models — accelerating decision-making, modernizing connectivity and letting enterprises and agencies directly query the data, run internal analytics and compose leaner data workflows. The challenge facing governments, exchanges, crypto businesses and banks is today twofold. Firstly, increased adoption of digital assets is marked by transaction growth, increased asset issuing, faster innovation and expanding multi-chain activity. Whilst at the same time, threat actors no longer operate in isolation — sanctioned entities, fraudsters, and money launderers blur together using new technologies to obfuscate their interconnected webs of illicit activity at a much faster pace than seen before. These challenges require the digital asset ecosystem to find new approaches to compliance obligations and criminal investigations. “Elliptic Data Fabric gives us high-fidelity, richly structured blockchain intelligence that fits directly into how we work. The data is normalized across chains, it’s flexible enough to deploy in our own environment. It enables us to build threat models, connect actors, and get ahead of behavior, not just react to it. As illicit actors become more sophisticated, we’re asking more complex questions than ever before — and now we have the data to actually answer them, fast.” Program Manager, US central government. Elliptic Data Fabric has use cases for multiple industries which are actively in the market today including: Elliptic Blocklist is a direct plug-in data and intelligence subscription service that provides access to Elliptic’s continuously updated list of sanctioned and high-risk entities. Used by exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and payments providers, the Blocklist is regularly updated with the latest intelligence. This enables customers to directly query data to either permit or block withdrawals to unhosted wallets without adding friction to the transaction flow. When milliseconds matter, blocklist ingestion gives a crucial first line of defence, ensuring users can safely and efficiently send funds. Screening is then carried out for compliance and reporting purposes. Elliptic made a free version of its Blocklist available globally to the crypto community during the Bybit exploit. This was instrumental in helping the ecosystem, whether customers or otherwise, easily identify DPRK funds from the exploit, reduce risk of exposure to them, and help in some cases to freeze those funds. Elliptic Counterparty Risk is being used by banks and financial institutions to help them easily assess indirect digital asset risk stemming from their customers by enriching their fiat transaction screening workflows with custom intelligence on thousands of VASPs. By seamlessly integrating Elliptic’s VASP data into internal screening workflows, organizations uncover hidden risks by detecting when customers interact with high-risk or unregistered crypto platforms. Customers are also optimizing their operatioal efficiencies by automating risk assessments and reducing manual investigations into crypto-related fiat transactions. Government agencies are already leveraging Elliptic Data Fabric to access operation-ready blockchain data and intelligence, seamlessly integrated into their environments, mission-specific use cases, and analyst workflows. The data is pre-structured into actionable formats — such as value transfer events (VTEs) and actor clusters — and is immediately queryable across Elliptic’s 54 supported blockchains. Because this data is ingested directly within the agency’s secure infrastructure, it remains completely air-gapped, ensuring no vendor visibility into sensitive mission-related queries. This enables agencies to confidently use and share the data in investigations and effectively collaborate with other departments, supporting the multi-agency nature of investigative operations such as the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/garantex-cryptocurrency-exchange-disrupted-international-operation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">USSS</a> take down of Garantex. “As the digital asset industry evolves, we recognize that traditional solutions need to mature in order to adequately support the internal investigation and analytics requirements of organizations striving to meet compliance obligations and government agencies to meet their mission objectives. Modern data and intelligence platforms must be adaptable, providing solutions in all formats — apps, APIs, and, as we’re announcing today with ‘Elliptic Data Fabric’, through subscriptions to data and intelligence. Many of our enterprise and government customers run sophisticated, large-scale internal analytics programs that require direct access to our trusted data and insights to power their operations. As the industry continues to evolve, Elliptic’s platform is built to stay flexible, ensuring it delivers the dynamic solutions needed in today’s fast-moving market,” commented Jackson Hull, CTO Elliptic. About Elliptic Elliptic is the leader in digital asset decisioning, we have built the most comprehensive platform for efficiently extracting crypto data and intelligence across blockchains with the greatest accuracy.

The report analyzes a new wave of regulatory momentum under the Trump administration, highlighting how new laws could institutionalize digital assets and cement the leadership role of the U.S. in the crypto industry. <div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpgc45eleft" style="width: 100%;text-align: left"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt="Bybit Logo" id="prnejpgc45eleft" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2267288/Logo.jpg" style="width: 400px;height: 240px" title="Bybit Logo"></img></div> The report outlines key regulatory developments under the Trump administration that have boosted investors’ confidence in crypto. The industry stands at the intersection of the dollar’s legacy hegemony, favorable policy shifts in the U.S., and the global trend of increasing regulatory clarity. Institutional and official acceptance of crypto—from stablecoins to BTC, is being coded into laws. Key Insights: <ul type="disc"> <li>Reinventing the USD – the GENIUS Act: To rejuvenate the greenback’s dominance in the international financial system, U.S. lawmakers have long been pushing for digital asset legislation that can balance consumer protection and innovation. This underscores the GENIUS Act’s significance as the U.S. asserts its might in a volatile world: the future of money will still be denominated in the U.S. dollar.</li> <li>A million BTC in reserves: U.S. legislators are seeking creative ways to defuse America’s time-ticking debt bomb. Some of them are turning to BTC. The newly proposed BITCOIN Act, if passed, will open up demands for 200,000 BTC annually to form part of the U.S. Treasury’s strategic BTC reserves. This will not only cause BTC prices to shoot up, but also signal deeper implications for public recognition and adoption of digital assets.</li> <li>The global race to regulate crypto: From South Korea and Pakistan, to the U.K. and Europe at large, no regulator wants to be left behind in the crypto revolution. The report uncovers insights from across the globe and what these changes could mean for the digital asset class.</li> </ul> For detailed insights, readers may <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1STuGKGYCVjNt3PxZoDuvRMF660HVMu6t/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">download the full report</a>. #Bybit / #TheCryptoArk / #BybitLearn About Bybit Bybit is the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, serving a global community of over 60 million users.

The Southeast Asia edition, launched in 2024, was led by ShardLab, Hashed’s innovation arm, in collaboration with SCBX. These partnerships reinforced the program’s strategic relevance and reach. With this integration, Protocol Camp is positioned to scale its influence as a pan-Asian launchpad for Web3 talent. Proven Track Record of Web3 Talent Development Since its inception, Protocol Camp has run six cohorts in Korea, producing 69 graduates and incubating 21 blockchain products. Alumni have joined top Web2 companies such as Hanwha Systems, AWS and BCG, and Web3 organizations including Solana, TON, Hashed Open Research, Modhaus, and more — demonstrating the program’s ability to nurture high-caliber talent. In 2024, the program expanded to Southeast Asia, welcoming over 10 alumni from 5 countries and supporting the creation of new products on the Aptos blockchain. Across both regions, Protocol Camp has built a dynamic builder community shaping the decentralized ecosystem through startups and major blockchain teams. A New Chapter Led by ShardLab ShardLab, the innovation arm of Hashed, led Protocol Camp’s Southeast Asia expansion and will now oversee the unified pan-Asian program. This marks a strategic step to broaden the camp’s regional reach and deepen its focus on high-impact Web3 talent. “By unifying the program, Protocol Camp becomes a true pan-Asian initiative that supports builders wherever they are,” said Hojin Kim, CEO of ShardLab. “Our mission is to empower the next generation of Web3 leaders through education, mentorship, and real-world experience.” “Through diverse partnerships — from global foundations to regional conglomerates — we’re building a collaborative platform where innovators can thrive,” Kim added. ShardLab ultimately envisions Protocol Camp evolving into a full-fledged Web3 academy, offering continuous education and resources to help founders scale decentralized innovation. Shaping the Future of Web3 in Asia With Web3 adoption on the rise, Protocol Camp remains committed to empowering builders through education, community, and global partnerships. The unified program is set to lead Asia’s next wave of decentralized innovation.

Bitcoin Price Forecast Eyes $110K Breakout

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:31:53 -0000

The Bitcoin price forecast is gaining bullish momentum as BTC rebounds strongly from weekend losses, trading at around $106,839. With geopolitical tensions easing—particularly the ceasefire between Israel and Iran—investors appear more confident, propelling cryptocurrencies into recovery mode. Leading the charge is Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), backed by solid institutional flows and rising spot ETF interest. Meanwhile, altcoins … Continue reading "Bitcoin Price Forecast Eyes $110K Breakout"

With geopolitical tensions easing—particularly the ceasefire between Israel and Iran—investors appear more confident, propelling cryptocurrencies into recovery mode. Leading the charge is Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), backed by solid institutional flows and rising spot ETF interest. Meanwhile, altcoins like Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) and XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) show signs of recovery as derivatives markets heat up. <h2 data-start="873" data-end="933">Institutional Inflows Support the Bitcoin Price Forecast</h2> Despite global unrest, Bitcoin remains a hedge against uncertainty. According to SoSoValue, weekly net inflows into Bitcoin treasury funds reached $198 million, boosting total holdings to approximately $70 billion across 21 companies. Among the top corporate holders: <ul data-start="1213" data-end="1444"> <li data-start="1213" data-end="1299"> MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) holds 592,345 BTC valued at around $63 billion. </li> <li data-start="1300" data-end="1367"> Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) owns 11,509 BTC worth $1.23 billion. </li> <li data-start="1368" data-end="1444"> Metaplanet follows with 11,111 BTC, currently valued at $1.18 billion. </li> </ul> These large positions underscore growing confidence in BTC as a long-term asset, further fueling a bullish Bitcoin price forecast. <h2 data-start="1587" data-end="1617">ETFs Add Fuel to the Rally</h2> Bitcoin spot ETFs saw renewed interest this week, with daily net inflows hitting $589 million on Tuesday, up from $350 million the day before. BlackRock’s IBIT led the way with $436 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $85 million. This ETF momentum is not only attracting new investors but also legitimizing Bitcoin as a mainstream asset. As these products gain traction, analysts expect volatility to decline and price trends to strengthen. <h2 data-start="2094" data-end="2133">Technical Setup Signals More Upside</h2> Technically, Bitcoin is approaching its next resistance level at $107,000. A confirmed breakout above $110,000—last tested in early June—would mark a new psychological and technical milestone. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is nearing a bullish crossover. If the blue MACD line crosses above the red signal line, traders may increase their exposure, accelerating the rally. Key levels to watch include: <ul data-start="2573" data-end="2667"> <li data-start="2573" data-end="2601"> 50-day EMA: $103,365 </li> <li data-start="2602" data-end="2630"> 100-day EMA: $99,571 </li> <li data-start="2631" data-end="2667"> Weekend low support: $98,227 </li> </ul> A move above $110,000 could open the door to retesting all-time highs near $110,980, while failure to hold $106,000 could trigger another round of profit-taking. <h2 data-start="2841" data-end="2890">Ethereum and XRP Join the Derivatives Rebound</h2> While Bitcoin leads the charge, Ethereum and XRP are also showing signs of life. Ethereum is trading just under the 200-day EMA resistance at $2,470, with immediate support at $2,424 (50-day EMA). Although the MACD and RSI suggest indecision, a notable rise in futures Open Interest (OI) from $28.19 billion to $31.53 billion signals a growing appetite for ETH exposure. XRP, meanwhile, has struggled to push past resistance at $2.21 (50-day EMA) but remains supported by the 200-day EMA at $2.09. Its OI increased from $3.54 billion to $3.76 billion, suggesting a tentative revival in investor interest. If XRP fails to gain momentum, the $1.90 support level could be tested again. <h2 data-start="3628" data-end="3675">Outlook: Bitcoin Still in the Driver’s Seat</h2> For now, all eyes remain on Bitcoin as the broader crypto market takes its cues from the leading digital asset. With institutional inflows rising, ETF momentum building, and technical signals aligning, the <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/market-news-bitcoin-price-surge-sparks-market-rally/">Bitcoin price</a> forecast remains bullish—especially if BTC can push past the $110,000 threshold. If that happens, the next leg of the bull cycle could be underway, pulling altcoins like Ethereum and XRP along for the ride. As macro conditions stabilize and crypto infrastructure continues to mature, Bitcoin may evolve further into a mainstream asset class. Long-term investors are watching closely, as sustained momentum could mark the beginning of a new growth phase—one that reshapes digital asset valuations and investor expectations for years to come. This potential shift could also influence regulatory frameworks, institutional portfolio strategies, and public perception of cryptocurrencies. If current trends hold, Bitcoin’s role in global finance may extend beyond speculation and into permanent allocation strategies, reshaping how wealth is preserved and grown in a digital-first economy.

How Coinbase Is Driving Crypto Adoption in Germany

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:18:31 -0000

Germany is known for its financial conservatism, but crypto adoption in Germany is quietly gaining momentum—thanks in part to Coinbase’s strategic push. Leading the charge is Denny Morawiak, Coinbase’s country director, who’s working hard to change how affluent Germans view Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), and even the more playful corners of the crypto market like … Continue reading "How Coinbase Is Driving Crypto Adoption in Germany"

<figure><img width="1060" height="631" src="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cryptocurrencies-photos-scattered-digital-surface_1135748-27631.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="crypto adoption" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cryptocurrencies-photos-scattered-digital-surface_1135748-27631.jpg 1060w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cryptocurrencies-photos-scattered-digital-surface_1135748-27631-300x179.jpg 300w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cryptocurrencies-photos-scattered-digital-surface_1135748-27631-1024x610.jpg 1024w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cryptocurrencies-photos-scattered-digital-surface_1135748-27631-768x457.jpg 768w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cryptocurrencies-photos-scattered-digital-surface_1135748-27631-382x228.jpg 382w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 60vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px" /></figure>Germany is known for its financial conservatism, but <a href="https://www.disruptionbanking.com/2025/06/10/the-rise-in-popularity-of-crypto-in-germany/#:~:text=Current%20State%20of%20Crypto%20Adoption%20in%20Germany&text=Crypto%20usage%20in%20Germany%20has,according%20to%20Triple%2DA%20estimates." target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto adoption in Germany</a> is quietly gaining momentum—thanks in part to Coinbase’s strategic push. Leading the charge is Denny Morawiak, Coinbase’s country director, who’s working hard to change how affluent Germans view Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), and even the more playful corners of the crypto market like PopCat (CRYPTO:POPCAT). <h2 data-start="761" data-end="810">Changing the Mindset of a Conservative Nation</h2> Convincing Germans to embrace cryptocurrency is no easy task. The country has a notoriously cautious investment culture, with a 20% savings rate in 2024 (Eurostat), compared to just under 5% in the U.S. (Bureau of Economic Analysis, April 2025). Most Germans still prefer traditional financial products like government bonds and pensions, which offer stability over the volatility of digital assets. Morawiak believes that crypto adoption in Germany won’t come from memes or hype, but from education and trust. “They’re not just looking for performance,” he says. “They want to understand the product, the risks, and how it fits into their long-term strategy.” <h2 data-start="1479" data-end="1527">A White Glove Strategy for Wealthy Investors</h2> To boost interest, Coinbase is leveraging a white glove approach—hosting elite events and personalized consultations. Since 2023, Coinbase has been a sponsor of Borussia Dortmund, the Bundesliga giant. This partnership has allowed Coinbase to hold events at the stadium, offering a premium experience that attracts high-net-worth individuals curious about crypto. “There are already wealthy individuals diversified into crypto,” says Morawiak. “But there’s an even bigger group that’s not yet in. That’s who we’re targeting now.” This strategy hinges on referrals, loyalty, and education. Attendees bring their friends—people who want to invest but need clarity on tax implications or safer ways to enter the market. <h2 data-start="2253" data-end="2284">Why Germany Still Hesitates</h2> Part of the hesitation comes from Germany’s robust pension system. Younger workers pay into a system that benefits current retirees, and most people don’t feel the urgency to build private wealth through riskier assets. “The money I contribute right now goes directly to my grandparents,” Morawiak explains. “So I’m less focused on what happens with that money—it’s not meant for me.” Combined with a lack of financial education on market investing, this mindset makes crypto adoption in Germany particularly challenging. However, Morawiak sees an opportunity. “We’re a rich country with big companies,” he says. “But we’re a country of relatively unwealthy people. It’s a pity.” <h2 data-start="2973" data-end="3003">Education First, Hype Last</h2> When asked about speculative assets like memecoins, Morawiak is cautious. PopCat (CRYPTO:POPCAT), for example—a Solana-based (CRYPTO:SOL) token based on a cat meme—is not something he recommends for retirement portfolios. “I wouldn’t advise anyone to build a pension around memecoins,” he says with a laugh. Instead, the real opportunity lies in showing investors how to treat digital assets as part of a diversified portfolio. Coinbase’s approach emphasizes responsible investing, not hype. Their Germany team has launched educational campaigns for Borussia Dortmund employees, hoping to demystify crypto for everyday professionals. <h2 data-start="3646" data-end="3663">Looking Ahead</h2> The formula seems to be working. As Coinbase continues to host exclusive events, Morawiak is fielding more calls from interested clients—some already invested in equities and looking to diversify, others who need handholding through their first crypto transaction. In a country where financial risk has long been taboo, the path to <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/crypto-adoption-in-the-u-s-reaches-55-million-users/">crypto adoption</a> in Germany may not be fast—but it’s becoming more possible. And for Morawiak, that’s the goal. “Growth won’t come overnight,” he says, “but it will come through trust and education.” In the future, Coinbase may expand beyond high-net-worth clients and begin tailoring financial literacy efforts for a younger demographic. This could include university workshops, online tutorials, and collaborations with schools—planting the seeds for long-term change in how Germans view money, wealth-building, and digital assets.

XRP Price Recovery: 3 Bullish Signals Amid Volatility

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 20:17:24 -0000

Despite geopolitical tensions rattling global markets, XRP price recovery may be closer than it seems.

Last week, Ripple’s XRP (XRP) slid roughly 8% amid escalating Middle East conflict, as traders reacted to U.S. airstrikes in Iran. But even with macro uncertainty weighing on sentiment, several key indicators—technical, on-chain, and institutional—are flashing bullish signals for XRP. Here are three reasons analysts believe a recovery in XRP’s price is not only possible but increasingly likely. <h2 data-start="884" data-end="937">1. XRP Is Bouncing From a Historical Support Zone</h2> As of June 23, XRP had already rebounded more than 7.5% from its local low of $1.90, recovering toward the $2.05 range. This bounce occurred at a strong technical support confluence that previously triggered a major rally. The support zone includes a multi-week ascending trendline and the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA), both aligning in the $1.80–$2.00 range. In past market cycles, XRP has shown resilience when testing this band, including a notable 65% surge earlier this year. Analysts are closely watching for a breakout above the upper boundary of XRP’s symmetrical triangle pattern. If confirmed, this could pave the way for a rally to $3.71—an all-time high that would signal a full XRP price recovery and renewed investor confidence. <h2 data-start="1704" data-end="1743">2. No Panic Selling From XRP Whales</h2> Market dips often prompt fear-driven exits, especially among retail investors. But data from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode suggests the opposite is happening with XRP. The number of wallet addresses holding at least 10,000 XRP tokens—typically seen as “whales” or high-net-worth individuals—has remained not just stable, but rising. As of June 20, there were over 295,000 addresses with balances exceeding 10,000 XRP. That’s a record high, even as the token briefly dropped below $2 during geopolitical turbulence. This behavior implies whales are not fleeing the market. On the contrary, they appear to be accumulating, signaling long-term conviction in XRP’s fundamentals and recovery potential. This trend has historically preceded price rallies, reinforcing the case for a possible reversal in the current downturn. <h2 data-start="2587" data-end="2627">3. Institutions Are Still Buying XRP</h2> Retail conviction is one thing—but institutional flows offer another powerful indicator of future price action. According to CoinShares, XRP-focused investment products saw $2.7 million in weekly inflows during the recent sell-off. Month-to-date, institutional flows into XRP stand at $10.5 million. That puts XRP among the top-performing altcoins in terms of capital inflows during a risk-off period, alongside Solana (SOL) and Sui (SUI). For comparison, many other digital assets—including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)—saw outflows during the same stretch. These inflows suggest that larger financial players view the XRP price recovery as both probable and potentially lucrative. With Ripple continuing to expand its global payments partnerships and regulatory clarity improving in some jurisdictions, institutional sentiment appears to be turning more favorable. <h2 data-start="3522" data-end="3552">What to Watch Next for XRP</h2> While XRP has shown promising signs of bottoming out, the broader macro environment remains a wildcard. Continued tensions in the Middle East could introduce volatility, and a stronger dollar or tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve could weigh on crypto markets in general. Still, the combination of technical support, whale accumulation, and institutional flows makes a compelling case for a potential XRP price recovery. If momentum continues, traders could see XRP push back toward $3 or higher in the coming months. <h2 data-start="4095" data-end="4114">The Bottom Line</h2> While the past week saw XRP under pressure, the outlook may not be as bleak as it seemed. The presence of solid support levels, committed large holders, and increasing institutional interest signals that XRP could rebound strongly if broader market conditions stabilize. As always, investors should monitor global news, regulatory updates, and on-chain metrics—but for now, <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/xrp-price-prediction-more-downside-ahead/">XRP price</a> recovery appears more possible than not. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="absolute"> <div class="flex items-center justify-center"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="pointer-events-none h-px w-px" aria-hidden="true" data-edge="true"> Featured Image: Freepik <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please See Disclaimer</a> </div>
Iran Bitcoin Sales: Fueling Conflict or Overblown Fear?

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 20:13:40 -0000

The role of Iran Bitcoin sales in funding its military ambitions has once again come under scrutiny amid rising geopolitical tensions. A controversial claim by investor Mike Alfred alleges that Iran is rapidly offloading Bitcoin—allegedly obtained through cyberattacks—to finance its missile programs and nuclear infrastructure. While dramatic, the accuracy and implications of this claim are … Continue reading "Iran Bitcoin Sales: Fueling Conflict or Overblown Fear?"

A controversial claim by investor Mike Alfred alleges that Iran is rapidly offloading Bitcoin—allegedly obtained through cyberattacks—to finance its missile programs and nuclear infrastructure. While dramatic, the accuracy and implications of this claim are far from straightforward. <h2 data-start="808" data-end="840">Bitcoin and the Nobitex Hack</h2> The allegations surfaced shortly after a high-profile hack of Nobitex, Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, on June 18, 2025. The attackers stole over $90 million in digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and other altcoins. The group responsible, Predatory Sparrow, is widely believed to have ties to Israel and claimed responsibility as a political act rather than a financial heist. In a surprising move, the hackers didn’t liquidate the stolen funds. Instead, they transferred the assets into burner wallets—wallets without private keys—effectively destroying the crypto and rendering it inaccessible. Their message was clear: the goal was to disrupt Iran’s crypto-based financial infrastructure, not profit. This directly contradicts Alfred’s assertion that Iran is selling stolen crypto to fund warfare. In fact, the Nobitex hack represented a significant financial blow to Iran, not a gain. <h2 data-start="1781" data-end="1826">How Much Bitcoin Does Iran Actually Have?</h2> While the Nobitex hack doesn’t support the narrative, Iran’s broader engagement with cryptocurrencies is well-documented. Facing heavy U.S. sanctions, the Iranian regime has turned to Bitcoin mining and crypto transactions as a workaround for accessing global financial systems. Iran’s mining operations are believed to generate upwards of $1 billion in Bitcoin annually. However, the exact size of the Iranian government’s crypto reserves remains unclear. The decentralized nature of blockchain makes it difficult to trace national holdings unless wallets are publicly identified. Even if Iran were to dump a significant portion of its BTC holdings, the global impact on the crypto market would likely be limited. With daily trading volumes for <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/market-news-bitcoin-price-surge-sparks-market-rally/">Bitcoin</a> routinely exceeding $20 billion, the market has the depth to absorb such transactions with minimal price disruption. <h2 data-start="2702" data-end="2748">War and Crypto as a Financial Escape Hatch</h2> Following Iran’s recent missile attacks on U.S. military installations in Qatar, analysts are watching closely for financial movements. Historically, military escalation has prompted a surge in crypto activity out of Iran. This includes both institutional actors and civilians seeking to shield themselves from sanctions, inflation, and a weakening national currency. Platforms like Nobitex have played a crucial role in this financial escape. Billions of dollars in crypto transactions have passed through Iranian exchanges, largely out of view from international regulators. In times of crisis, Bitcoin becomes both a tool for evasion and a hedge for average Iranians. This dynamic has prompted concern among Western governments, who view such activity as a breach of international sanctions. As tensions rise, scrutiny of exchanges and wallet activity linked to Iran will likely increase, potentially resulting in further restrictions or legal action. <h2 data-start="3708" data-end="3751">The Market Impact of Iran Bitcoin Sales</h2> If Iran chooses to liquidate a portion of its crypto reserves, the immediate market effect would probably be temporary volatility rather than a crash. With an estimated $1 billion in annual crypto-based revenue, Iran’s sales would represent a small fraction of global trading volumes. However, the real concern is not market movement—it’s the regulatory and geopolitical fallout. Nations and exchanges could face pressure to identify and block Iranian-linked transactions. Sanctions enforcement could expand to cover crypto infrastructure, affecting how global exchanges operate. <h2 data-start="4335" data-end="4372">Bottom Line: More Hype Than Harm?</h2> While Iran Bitcoin sales are a valid area of concern, claims that they will crash the crypto market or suddenly fund a new arms race are exaggerated. The bigger issue is the geopolitical attention it draws. Western governments may clamp down harder on crypto channels that allow rogue states to circumvent sanctions. For now, the blockchain community—and global financial markets—would do well to separate verifiable fact from speculative fear. The focus should remain on transparency, compliance, and the role of crypto in an increasingly complex world stage.

Payment ID doesn’t even require a domain name – just a simple registration with an email address. On top of this, Enkrypt has integrated SPACE ID’s proprietary SDK, which allows wallet users to use any SPACE ID domain name, such as .bnb and .arb, as well as Unstoppable Domains’ native domain, .crypto, for seamless crypto transfers between web3 wallets, including MetaMask. Harrison Seletsky, Director of Business Development at SPACE ID, says: “We’re excited to be working with two leading infrastructure projects in the web3 space – Enkrypt and Unstoppable Domains – to finally begin creating a more unified and interoperable crypto payments ecosystem.” SPACE ID’s Payment ID system officially launched in April on MetaMask and Binance. This latest integration marks another step toward making crypto transfers from web3 wallets to CEXs more seamless and secure, ultimately bringing the web3 user experience closer to what users are accustomed to in the web2 world. Kosala Hemachandra, CEO and Founder at MyEtherWallet & Enkrypt, says: “It has been our goal from day one, nearly a decade ago, to make crypto and web3 easy for normal people to use. Adding multi-chain support for domain names and Payment ID aligns with our vision, and SPACE ID was the perfect partner to continue this endeavor!” With this integration, Enkrypt becomes one of the first wallets to offer native support for both Payment ID and SPACE ID’s universal identity infrastructure, radically simplifying the crypto transfer process for its users. The multi-chain collaboration between three leading payments and digital identity players is just one step in SPACE ID’s mission to unite the web3 space and make it truly interoperable, removing the need for bridging, copy-and-paste errors, and lengthy deposit addresses.

South Korea Crypto Crisis Fuels Youth Shift

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 19:53:02 -0000

South Korea is witnessing a massive surge in cryptocurrency adoption, but not for the reasons many might expect. The real driver behind the boom isn’t a belief in blockchain innovation or faith in Web3—it’s the South Korea crypto crisis that’s gripping an entire generation of young people struggling to survive in a broken economic landscape. … Continue reading "South Korea Crypto Crisis Fuels Youth Shift"

The real driver behind the boom isn’t a belief in blockchain innovation or faith in Web3—it’s the South Korea crypto crisis that’s gripping an entire generation of young people struggling to survive in a broken economic landscape. With over 16 million registered users on local crypto exchanges—more than 30% of the population—crypto has become a lifeline for the youth, not just an investment tool. <h2 data-start="881" data-end="931">Desperation, Not Innovation, Drives Crypto Use</h2> At <a href="https://www.germanblockchainweek.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German Blockchain & AI Week</a>, Eli Ilha Yune, Chief Product Officer at quantum machine learning startup Anzaetek, shed light on the grim reality behind South Korea’s crypto explosion. Speaking on the “Asia Insights” panel, Yune dismissed the idea that crypto’s popularity in <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/south-korea-establishing-crypto-investigative-unit-amid-crime-surge/">South Korea</a> stems from the same ideological or technological enthusiasm found in the West. According to Yune, young Koreans are not flocking to digital assets out of belief in blockchain’s future—they’re doing it because they have no better option. “They’re seeking quick money,” he explained, attributing the crypto boom to financial despair rather than innovation. <h2 data-start="1583" data-end="1633">The Role of Political Change and Policy Shifts</h2> The South Korea crypto crisis is unfolding amid significant political transition. Newly elected President Lee Jae-myung has begun implementing campaign promises to integrate digital assets into the country’s financial system. Plans are underway to issue a Korean won-based stablecoin, a move that South Korea’s central bank does not oppose. These efforts aim to legitimize crypto at the institutional level, but they also risk encouraging even more speculative behavior among desperate retail investors. <h2 data-start="2158" data-end="2206">The Economic Reality Behind the Crypto Craze</h2> South Korea’s youth face staggering economic hurdles. According to the 2025 Korea Wealth Report, the so-called “young rich” hold three times more crypto than their older wealthy counterparts. Moreover, 34% of the country’s high-net-worth individuals already have exposure to crypto assets. But these figures don’t tell the full story. Yune emphasized that most young investors are not well-versed in the underlying technology or market mechanics of crypto. Instead, they’re turning to it as a last resort in a country where traditional paths to wealth—like home ownership or stock market gains—are increasingly out of reach. <h2 data-start="2848" data-end="2893">Youth Unemployment and the Housing Crisis</h2> Unemployment among South Koreans aged 15 to 29 currently stands at 6.6%, more than double the national average of 2.7%. This means that even highly educated individuals are struggling to find stable employment. Meanwhile, the housing market has become an insurmountable barrier. The median price of an apartment in Seoul has doubled over the last five years, reaching over 1 billion won (about $689,000). The price-to-income ratio in the city now sits at 15.2, among the highest in the world. “They cannot buy houses anymore, or even the rent is too high for them,” Yune said. “So their only option is to do crypto.” <h2 data-start="3532" data-end="3571">The Risks of a Speculative Lifeline</h2> Yune’s comments paint a troubling picture. Many young Koreans entering crypto do so without understanding blockchain, smart contracts, or even basic trading strategies. For them, cryptocurrency isn’t a revolutionary technology—it’s a lottery ticket. This disconnect underscores the deeper South Korea crypto crisis—one rooted in systemic economic inequality, lack of opportunity, and a broken housing market. While political moves like institutional crypto integration and stablecoin initiatives may stabilize the system in the long run, they do little to address the desperation driving so many young Koreans into volatile and risky financial territory today. As the world watches South Korea’s crypto boom, it’s crucial to remember: this is not just a tech story. It’s a human one—fueled by real-world pain, disillusionment, and the search for a way out. Without structural reforms in employment and housing, crypto may remain less a solution and more a symptom of systemic crisis. If policymakers fail to address these root causes, the country risks anchoring its future economic hopes to volatile digital assets—a fragile foundation for any society. The South Korea crypto crisis is a wake-up call, not just for Seoul, but for any nation grappling with generational inequality and economic stagnation.

Trump Crypto Investment Makes Toymaker Surge

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 19:41:19 -0000

A forgotten toy company just exploded onto the crypto scene, and it’s all thanks to a Trump crypto investment that turned $5 million into $127 million overnight. SRM Entertainment (NASDAQ:SRM), once known for selling Smurf-themed tumblers and plush koalas, is now making headlines as one of the hottest speculative crypto stocks of the year. How … Continue reading "Trump Crypto Investment Makes Toymaker Surge"

SRM Entertainment (NASDAQ:SRM), once known for selling Smurf-themed tumblers and plush koalas, is now making headlines as one of the hottest speculative crypto stocks of the year. How did this happen? In short: a surprise pivot into cryptocurrency, a rebrand as “Tron Inc.,” and the involvement of political and crypto heavyweights including Justin Sun and Trump family associates. <h2 data-start="902" data-end="947">A Forgotten Toy Brand Reborn as Tron Inc.</h2> SRM Entertainment flew under the radar until early 2025. Then, in a bold move, the company announced it would pivot into the cryptocurrency space while still maintaining its toy business. The company also announced that controversial crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun would join as an adviser. Investors went wild. SRM shares soared from under $2 to over $9 in less than a week, eventually stabilizing above $7. That meteoric rise was fueled by speculation, a celebrity crypto connection, and what many saw as the ultimate convergence play: physical toys backed by digital tokens. But the real story is what happened behind the scenes—and who profited the most. <h2 data-start="1617" data-end="1670">Dominari Holdings and the Trump Crypto Connection</h2> The biggest winner in this Trump crypto investment story was American Ventures LLC Series III SRM, a fund managed by Dominari Holdings. Dominari is no stranger to controversial moves. Originally a biotech firm, it reinvented itself as an investment bank just three years ago—and has since built a portfolio of crypto-adjacent companies. Trump family ties run deep. Both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are listed as advisers to Dominari. While they weren’t directly involved in the SRM deal, the optics have drawn attention. Dominari’s headquarters? Trump Tower. In May 2025, Dominari <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-18/trump-linked-bank-helped-set-up-120-million-tron-deal-windfall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">helped</a> American Ventures buy $5 million worth of SRM shares. When the stock exploded this week, that investment was suddenly worth $127 million. Add to that millions in warrants given to Soo Yu—who both manages the fund and is married to Dominari’s president—and you get one of the most profitable Trump crypto investments of the year. <h2 data-start="2601" data-end="2637">Justin Sun Adds Fuel to the Fire</h2> Justin Sun, founder of the TRON blockchain and a well-known figure in the crypto world, also played a key role in driving SRM’s transformation. Although he’s still facing legal trouble from a paused SEC lawsuit, his involvement gave the pivot credibility in the eyes of many investors. According to SRM CEO Richard Miller, Sun is “an impact player in this space.” His presence as an adviser adds both hype and controversy to the rebranded Tron Inc. project. Under this new vision, SRM plans to continue producing licensed toys while building a reserve of digital tokens tied to Sun’s TRON ecosystem—a hybrid business model that blurs the lines between tangible goods and speculative assets. <h2 data-start="3338" data-end="3390">The Bigger Picture: Crypto, Politics, and Profit</h2> This <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/trump-media-bitcoin-etf-faces-big-competition/">Trump</a> crypto investment story is just one chapter in a larger trend. Dominari Holdings has already launched other crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial and American Bitcoin—companies that also boast Trump-connected leadership. The success of SRM shows how politically connected firms are finding new ways to cash in on the volatile but lucrative crypto space. It’s no longer just about tokens or blockchain. It’s about image, influence, and timing. While SRM’s long-term viability remains uncertain, its overnight transformation from a dusty toymaker to a $100M+ crypto darling proves one thing: in today’s markets, the right mix of politics, celebrity, and crypto buzz can create incredible—and incredibly risky—opportunities.

IP Crypto Price Drops as Story Hype Fades

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 18:06:53 -0000

IP crypto price continues to fall after early hype wears off, with weak adoption, macro pressure, and profit-taking weighing on Story Protocol’s token. Why Is the IP Crypto Price Falling Today? After a promising launch and an explosive price rally, the IP crypto price tied to the Story Protocol is facing a sharp and sustained … Continue reading "IP Crypto Price Drops as Story Hype Fades"

<figure><img width="696" height="464" src="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/19910-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="crypto investment fraud" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/19910-1.jpg 696w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/19910-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/19910-1-336x223.jpg 336w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 60vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px" /></figure>IP crypto price continues to fall after early hype wears off, with weak adoption, macro pressure, and profit-taking weighing on Story Protocol’s token. <h2 data-start="439" data-end="486">Why Is the IP Crypto Price Falling Today?</h2> After a promising launch and an explosive price rally, the IP crypto price tied to the Story Protocol is facing a sharp and sustained decline. On June 19, the token fell another 8.74%, deepening a month-long drawdown of more than 35%. From its all-time high of $7.33 just weeks after launch, IP has now lost about 65% of its value, trading under $2.60. What began as a breakout altcoin success story is quickly turning into a cautionary tale of early hype fading amid weak fundamentals. <h2 data-start="993" data-end="1049">Broader Market Conditions Are Weighing on Altcoins</h2> The entire crypto market has experienced turbulence over the past month, largely due to macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have held relatively steady—down 1.2% and up 0.49% respectively during the same period—smaller altcoins like IP have taken a bigger hit. According to CoinMarketCap, altcoin dominance (excluding ETH) has plummeted in June, falling from 27.2% to just 2.6%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s market dominance has risen, signaling a clear flight to safety among crypto investors. With risk appetite shrinking, speculative tokens are among the first to be sold off. The IP crypto price, once buoyed by launch euphoria, is now a victim of that shift. <h2 data-start="1847" data-end="1881">The Launch Hype Has Worn Off</h2> It’s not unusual for new tokens to see massive gains in the days following a debut, especially if backed by major investors. Story Protocol launched with strong support from notable names like a16z and Samsung Next, raising $140 million ahead of its token release. Its core mission—to bring the $61 billion intellectual property market on-chain—struck a chord with the Web3 community. The protocol allows creators to register content, tokenize it, and set custom licensing rules, opening the door to decentralized monetization models. But early excitement isn’t translating into sustained use. <h2 data-start="2506" data-end="2553">Weak Fundamentals Undermine Price Support</h2> Despite bold promises, on-chain data paints a worrying picture. According to DeFiLlama, the Story Protocol’s total value locked (TVL) has dropped to just $11.25 million. Daily chain fees and app revenue are negligible, signaling minimal user engagement and a sluggish ecosystem. Without significant traction in its user base or applications, the IP crypto price is left exposed to volatility and investor exits. Simply put, if people aren’t using the platform, the token has limited utility—and that’s reflected in its recent performance. <h2 data-start="3119" data-end="3164">What Needs to Happen for IP to Recover?</h2> For the IP crypto price to stabilize or regain upward momentum, Story Protocol must attract real adoption. This means onboarding more creators, developers, and consumers who actively engage with the platform’s tools for content registration and licensing. It will also require better integration into existing content ecosystems, partnerships with media or publishing companies, and clearer value propositions for token holders. Until those developments materialize, the token will likely remain under pressure, especially in a market that’s leaning risk-off. <h2 data-start="3743" data-end="3792">Final Thoughts: Story Protocol’s Road Ahead</h2> The fall in IP <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/stock-market-greed-boosts-crypto-prices-in-2025/">crypto price </a>is a clear reminder that investor hype alone cannot sustain a token’s value. While Story Protocol’s mission is ambitious and well-funded, it faces the same fundamental challenge as most blockchain projects: real-world adoption. If the team can deliver on its vision of bringing intellectual property on-chain—and build a thriving user base around it—there’s potential for a turnaround. But for now, the market is demanding more than just a flashy launch and big-name backing. As investors shift their focus toward utility and execution, the Story behind IP will need more than good intentions to earn back market trust.

Trump Crypto Project Faces Silent Retreat

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 18:01:38 -0000

The Trump crypto project is losing steam as the family quietly reduces its stake in World Liberty Financial, raising fresh doubts about its long-term vision. Trump’s Crypto Move: A Quiet Exit Signals Uncertainty World Liberty Financial, the flashy crypto venture tied to the Trump family, is raising eyebrows again—but not for the usual reasons. A … Continue reading "Trump Crypto Project Faces Silent Retreat"

A new Forbes report published June 19 reveals that the Trump family has reduced its ownership stake from 60% to 40%, marking a sharp but stealthy shift in the controversial Trump crypto project. The most striking part? The move happened without a press release, public filing, or even a whisper from company insiders. That’s unusual for a project that loudly promised a “financial revolution” and claimed to offer a government-friendly alternative to decentralized cryptocurrencies. The entity overseeing this project, DT Marks DEFI LLC, is reportedly controlled by former President Donald Trump and his sons. The LLC had already sold part of its position earlier in 2025, but this latest move suggests the family is continuing to quietly distance itself from the project. <h2 data-start="1457" data-end="1518">World Liberty Financial: Big Promises, Bigger Questions</h2> Billed as a hybrid between a stablecoin and a digital dollar, World Liberty Financial launched earlier this year amid heavy marketing and strong retail demand. The company promised a regulated, centralized platform to make crypto safe for average Americans—a message that resonated with conservative-leaning investors frustrated with the perceived chaos of decentralized finance. Despite these promises, the Trump crypto project has been dogged by concerns over transparency, regulatory scrutiny, and the lack of a clear roadmap. Initial excitement around the token’s debut drove prices higher, but the lack of ongoing communication from leadership—especially from the Trump family—has started to erode investor confidence. <h2 data-start="2253" data-end="2295">A Silent Exit Amid a Stablecoin Boom</h2> The timing of the family’s stake reduction is curious. <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stablecoin.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stablecoins</a> are enjoying renewed interest, with demand climbing in both U.S. and international markets. Several pro-crypto bills are advancing in Congress, and many believe the U.S. will eventually issue its own central bank digital currency (CBDC). So why is the Trump crypto project stepping back now? Some analysts suggest the family may be trying to lock in profits while avoiding future legal or political risks. Given Trump’s renewed campaign for the 2024 election cycle and increasing scrutiny from regulators, reducing exposure to a controversial crypto venture may be a strategic move. Others point to the possibility that the project’s internal performance has fallen short of expectations, with fewer institutional partnerships and slower user adoption than originally forecasted. <h2 data-start="3156" data-end="3201">Trump and Crypto: A Complicated History</h2> This isn’t the first time Trump’s crypto ties have drawn attention. While in office, he famously called Bitcoin a scam and dismissed decentralized currencies. Yet in recent years, Trump has become more open to crypto, particularly if it’s centralized, regulated, and aligned with U.S. interests. World Liberty Financial was pitched as a way to achieve just that—a uniquely “American” approach to crypto. The family’s deep involvement in the early stages added a layer of political weight and legitimacy, at least among supporters. But with the recent reduction in ownership and growing silence from the project’s frontmen, the future of this Trump crypto project seems uncertain at best. <h2 data-start="3900" data-end="3950">Final Thoughts: Should Investors Be Worried?</h2> For retail investors still holding World Liberty tokens, the Trump family’s quiet exit may be a red flag. While a 40% stake still leaves them with significant influence, the direction of the project—and its long-term viability—are now in question. The broader crypto market remains resilient, with major players like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) continuing to engage with digital assets. However, speculative projects without clear backing or transparency—like this one—could face rough waters ahead. If the <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/trump-cryptocurrency-scandal-fuels-foreign-influence/">Trump</a> crypto project is indeed losing its founding champions, investors may need to reassess its future potential, especially as the political landscape heats up ahead of the 2024 election.
