The Secret Service has quietly amassed one of the richest cold cryptocurrency wallets in the world with 400 million dollars seized, dismantling scams through blockchain investigation and VPN failures.

U.S. Secret Service seized 400 million dollars in cryptocurrencies in the last decade
News
The U.S. Secret Service has discreetly seized nearly 400 million dollars in digital assets over the last decade, amassing one of the largest cold cryptocurrency wallets in the world, Bloomberg reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The agency's Global Investigative Operations Center (GIOC) has tracked funds through open-source tools, blockchain analysis, and patience, Jamie Lam, a research analyst at the U.S. Secret Service, reportedly told law enforcement officials last month.

The agency's cryptocurrency treasure, much of which resides in a single cold storage wallet, is the result of a series of investigations into scams. In a typical scheme, scammers lure their victims to seemingly legitimate cryptocurrency investment platforms. Victims often see initial gains before the sites disappear with their money.

"This is how they do it," Lam said. "They'll send you a picture of a really attractive guy or girl. But it's probably an old man in Russia."

Blockchain traces unmask cryptocurrency scams
Lam's team uses domain records, blockchain transactions, and VPN failures to identify scammers. In one case, a cryptocurrency payment led investigators to another wallet. In another, a brief VPN failure exposed an IP address, helping agents reconstruct the digital trail of the scam.

Stablecoins are about to become commonplace, analysts say, as a historic regulatory bill moves forward in Congress.

The Senate is deliberating on the GENIUS Act, which would establish a framework to regulate stablecoins or, in English, stable cryptocurrencies. The bill overcame a significant procedural hurdle in the Senate last week after initial resistance from some Democrats.
Stablecoins are a type of crypto asset linked to the value of another currency, such as the U.S. dollar or gold. They were initially created so that cryptocurrency investors could store their money, but they have gained popularity in recent years due to their use in digital payments.

The historic bill would boost the legitimacy of the cryptocurrency industry and is another example of how virtual currencies have experienced a significant resurgence under the second term of President Donald Trump.

Cryptocurrency advocates have welcomed the focus on advancing stablecoin regulation. However, critics have pointed out the Trump family's connections to the cryptocurrency industry: for example, World Liberty Financial, a company linked to that family, has issued its own stablecoin.

#BTCWhaleMovement Bitcoin reached a resistance at 110,000 dollars, but BNB, SOL, LINK, AAVE look promising
Bitcoin fell close to the ceiling of 110,000 dollars, but the price reset could give BNB, SOL, LINK, and AAVE the opportunity to bounce back.

to close above 110,000 dollars may have attracted profit-taking by short-term traders. This has brought the price close to 108,000 dollars. Crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades said in a post on X that a close above 110,000 dollars would be good for Bitcoin, but a drop below 108,000 dollars could deepen the correction.

Some analysts bet that the "Big Beautiful Bill" from US President Donald Trump will act as a catalyst to push the price above the all-time high. The prediction service Kalshi expects that the US national debt will reach 40 trillion dollars by 2025, a massive increase from 23.2 trillion dollars in 2020. History shows that increases in US borrowing have driven the price of Bitcoin. For example, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed by approximately 38% after Trump signed a COVID-19 related spending bill at the end of 2020.

#BTCWhaleMovement BTC dropped to $107,000 despite an inflow of $1 billion into spot BTC ETFs
The drop in Bitcoin reflects market anxiety about the U.S. economy and inactive BTC wallets moving billions of dollars in BTC.

BTC dropped to $107,000 despite an inflow of $1 billion into spot BTC ETFs
Market Analysis
Key Points:

Despite $1 billion in inflows from spot BTC ETFs, Bitcoin fell 2.8% as the market digested a wallet transfer of billions of dollars from the 2011 era.

U.S. import tariffs and fiscal deficits are likely weighing on Bitcoin investor sentiment.

traded down to $107,400 on Friday after facing strong resistance near the $110,500 level on Thursday. The drop coincided with $1 billion in net inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over two days. Traders are now scrambling to justify the 2.8% decline, even though BTC had remained around $107,400 for most of the previous week.

This drop could simply reflect profit-taking ahead of the weekend, particularly given that Bitcoin was only 1.5% below its all-time high. Investors remain wary of potential negative effects from a global trade war, especially after U.S. President Donald Trump reaffirmed Wednesday's deadline for raising import tariffs.

Inactive Bitcoin wallet spooks the market by moving 80,000 BTC
Some market participants argue that investors were alarmed after a long-inactive Bitcoin wallet moved coins for the first time in years.

Conor Grogan, head of product at Coinbase, says there is a small possibility that the 8.6 billion dollars in Bitcoin that moved on Thursday, from eight wallets that had held Bitcoin for over 14 years, was due to a hack, and if so, it could be the largest theft in history.

“If true (again, I’m speculating without basis), this would be by far the largest theft in human history,” Grogan said in a post on X on Friday, after mentioning the slim possibility that the 8.6 billion dollars in Bitcoin

#Bitcoin recovered to $105,000 and the Coinbase premium reached its second highest in 2025
Bitcoin is recovering as the Coinbase premium spikes, but retail investor deposits are rising on Binance and open interest is decreasing, showing that traders remain cautious.

Market Analysis
Key Points:

The Bitcoin Premium Index on Coinbase reached its second highest level in 2025, highlighting sustained interest from U.S. investors.

The percentage of retail inflows on Binance hit a two-year high, with a sharp increase in exchange deposits of 0–1 BTC, suggesting active retail trading or profit-taking behavior.

Bitcoin's jump to $105,000 was driven by short liquidations, not by new long positions.

The Bitcoin Premium Index

on Coinbase reached its second highest value on Monday, reflecting a price premium in BTC available on Coinbase compared to Binance. The index has remained in the green for most of June, indicating sustained buying pressure from U.S. investors. This aligns with positive spot ETF flows for most of the month, as a study noted a coefficient of 0.27 linking the previous day's ETF inflows with price increases, suggesting optimism in the market.

Data from CryptoQuant shows that the percentage of retail inflow on Binance has surged to its highest level in two years, coinciding with a decrease in Bitcoin's price. On-chain metrics also indicate a strong increase in exchange inflows, particularly in the 0 to 1 BTC range, as reflected in the Spent Output Value Bands (SOVB) on the exchange.

Bitcoin's relative stability compared to major U.S. stocks during the current geopolitical crisis shows it is maturing as an asset class. André Dragosch, head of research at Bitwise Europe, shared a chart on X, showing Bitcoin's 60-day realized volatility at 27-28%, lower than the S&P 500 (SPX) at about 30%, the Nasdaq 100 at nearly 35%, and the “Magnificent 7” tech stocks at around 40%.

Market Analysis
Key Points:

Bitcoin quickly recovered to 106,000 dollars, signaling strong demand from institutional investors despite rising global unrest.

An 8% drop in Bitcoin's hashrate raised concerns about the stability of mining amid tensions in the Middle East.

recovered the 106,000 dollar level on Monday after briefly falling below 98,500 dollars on Sunday, the first time in 45 days. Market anxiety eased after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a "total ceasefire" between Israel and Iran. Traders are now assessing whether Bitcoin can move toward 110,000 dollars or if downside risks persist.

Despite the volatility, the Bitcoin derivatives market remained stable. The price movement triggered liquidations of 193 million dollars from bullish leveraged positions in Bitcoin, equivalent to 0.3% of the total open interest in futures. The current amount of 68 billion dollars in leveraged positions has hardly changed since Saturday.
The 4.4% drop in the price of Bitcoin over a 12-hour period is not particularly alarming by historical standards. Similar declines have occurred three times in the last 30 days. However, some traders fear that a prolonged conflict in Iran could weigh heavily on the global economy, leading investors to adopt a more cautious and risk-averse stance.

#Paybis: Despite Trump's backing, the crypto sector is choosing MiCA over the US
The clarity of MiCA licenses helped Europe capture crypto flows as retail activity in the United States declined despite a Trump administration friendly to cryptocurrencies.
Paybis: Despite Trump's backing, the crypto sector is choosing MiCA over the US
News
Europe is taking the lead in the global race for cryptocurrencies thanks to its regulatory framework Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), even surpassing the United States under President Donald Trump, who is so favorable to cryptocurrencies.

According to Konstantins Vasilenko, co-founder and business development director of Paybis, the trading volume of EU customers increased by 70% quarter-over-quarter in the first quarter of 2025, just after the MiCA regulation came into effect.
The United States began to follow an opposite trend. Vasilenko told Cointelegraph that while retail activity in the United States was declining, European users were making larger and more deliberate trades.
"It’s hard to ignore the coincidence," Vasilenko stated. "The deadline to apply for MiCA licenses opened on January 1, 2025; in that same quarter, our volumes in the EU increased by 70%, while the number of trades barely changed, which indicates to me that the new money was larger and more deliberate".
Several cryptocurrency companies have already adapted their strategies to align with MiCA. OKX, Crypto.com, and Bybit have obtained licenses under the new framework, and Coinbase has become the latest to obtain a license from the Luxembourg Financial Sector Supervisory Commission.

The renewed confidence of investors in Europe is due to the key features of MiCA, according to Vasilenko. On one hand, the MiCA framework introduced a single licensing regime across all EU member states. Once authorized in one country, cryptocurrency companies can operate throughout the bloc.

Jurisdictions are advancing in the regulation of cryptocurrencies
Meanwhile, other jurisdictions are making strides. In May, Hong Kong passed a law on stablecoins and is rapidly developing a tokenization ecosystem through its Project Ensemble initiative.

The authors also praised the United Arab Emirates' Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) for being a dedicated regulator of digital assets, unlike the UK's attempt to adapt traditional institutions to new financial models.

The blog concluded that, although the UK led fintech innovation in the 2010s and continues to benefit from advantages such as its time zone, language, and legal system, its position is far from secure. "Financial centers come and go," the authors warned, urging regulators to act quickly.

Political "procrastination" has left the UK behind the EU and the US in crypto regulation, according to experts
A new blog from OMFIF warns that the UK is losing its initial advantage in the regulation of digital assets as the EU implements MiCA and the United States moves forward with the Genius Act.

Political "procrastination" has left the UK behind the EU and the US in crypto regulation, according to experts
News
The UK's unclear regulatory stance regarding digital assets is drawing harsh criticism from market participants, with some citing "political procrastination" as one of the key reasons why the country is falling behind both the European Union and the United States in the race to define digital finance.

In a post published on Friday, John Orchard, chairman, and Lewis McLellan, editor of the Digital Monetary Institute of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), an independent think tank, argued that the UK has squandered its advantage as a pioneer in distributed ledger finance.

The post, titled "The UK is still missing the DLT finance train," states that the UK, which was once expected to set a gold standard for cryptocurrency regulation after Brexit, continues to "speak vaguely about regulation in the future."

"As things stand, there is a conspicuous absence of a date in the 'Launch of the regime' section of the Financial Conduct Authority's 'Crypto roadmap,' although it suggests that it will be sometime after 2026," wrote Orchard and McLellan.

Nakamoto Holdings raised USD 51.5M to expand its Bitcoin treasury strategy
Nakamoto Holdings, led by David Bailey, an advisor to Trump on cryptocurrency, raised USD 51.5 million in fresh capital to accelerate its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

Nakamoto Holdings raised USD 51.5M to expand its Bitcoin treasury strategy
News
The Bitcoin holding company Nakamoto Holdings, founded by David Bailey, cryptocurrency advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, has raised USD 51.5 million in fresh capital through a private placement in public equity (PIPE), according to a statement from its merger partner KindlyMD.

Bailey stated that the new funds were raised in less than 72 hours, reflecting growing investor interest in Nakamoto's Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation strategy.

"Investor demand for Nakamoto is incredibly strong," Bailey stated. "We continue to execute our strategy of raising as much capital as possible to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible."

The funding, priced at USD 5 per share, brings KindlyMD's total funding to approximately USD 563 million, and to USD 763 million when including convertible bonds.

Nakamoto is launching a Bitcoin treasury
Nakamoto's approach reflects the strategy used by other corporate entities aiming to leverage BTC as a reserve asset. The company was established earlier this year with the explicit goal of creating a substantial Bitcoin treasury, even though overall market confidence remains mixed.

The proceeds from the latest round will be primarily allocated to Bitcoin purchases, along with working capital and general corporate needs. The PIPE funding will close alongside the anticipated merger with KindlyMD, which is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker NAKA.

A cryptocurrency is defined as a digital currency built with cryptographic protocols that make transactions secure and difficult to counterfeit. The most important feature of a cryptocurrency is that it is not controlled by any central authority: the decentralized nature of blockchain theoretically makes cryptocurrencies immune to old forms of government control and interference. Cryptocurrencies make it easier to conduct any transaction, as transfers are simplified through the use of public and private keys for security and privacy purposes. These transfers can be made with minimal processing fees, allowing users to avoid the high charges imposed by traditional financial institutions. However, recent news about cryptocurrencies indicates that they are devoid of a central repository, and a balance of digital cryptocurrencies can be annihilated by a computer failure, a hack, and other unexpected events.
