French Minister Reveals 77 Crypto-Related Kidnapping Cases, Says New Security Plan Is Coming

France has recorded 77 cryptocurrency-related cases involving kidnappings, extortion, or attempted kidnappings since the beginning of the year. Speaking to the Association of Digital Asset Holders (ADAN) on June 30, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said the number had increased significantly from the 45 cases reported in 2025. While acknowledging the concerns within the sector, Nuñez described the incidents as serious but said emergency security measures introduced a year ago had delivered results. He revealed that around 200 people had been arrested either after attacks had taken place or before they could be carried out during the same period. As a recent example, the minister said suspects linked to an incident in the Somme region on the previous Friday were apprehended within eight hours. He added that the victim had activated the dedicated emergency hotline created for members of the cryptocurrency sector. According to Nuñez, 724 people in the industry are now registered on the government’s immediate identification platforms, representing an 11% increase in participation. While the full details of the government’s next steps have not yet been disclosed, the minister said all departments within the Interior Ministry had developed a new security strategy that is “more ambitious” than previous efforts. The plan is built around three priorities. The first focuses on expanding intelligence sharing. Nuñez stressed that those directing these crimes are sometimes based outside France, which makes stronger intelligence gathering on criminal networks particularly important. The second priority aims to deepen cooperation with ADAN by creating a network of experts that connects cryptocurrency industry participants with relevant government officials. The third priority seeks to improve operational coordination between law enforcement agencies to disrupt criminal groups more effectively while also strengthening cooperation with countries where those believed to be organizing the attacks are located. The minister said cooperation with foreign authorities remains essential. As an example, he cited the June 2025 arrest in Morocco of a Franco-Moroccan man suspected of ordering a series of kidnappings targeting the crypto industry. One of the victims was Ledger co-founder David Balland. According to Nuñez, that arrest led to the sudden end of the attacks. Similar attacks have continued to emerge elsewhere. In March, a crypto holder pseudonymously known as ‘Sillytuna’ said armed attackers forced him to hand over roughly $24 million in digital assets during a violent robbery. According to the victim, the assailants used weapons and threatened kidnapping and sexual assault unless he transferred control of his crypto holdings. Blockchain investigators later tracked the stolen funds as they were moved across multiple networks and converted into privacy coins to make tracing more difficult.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Is BTC Ready for Another Leg Higher Next Week?

Bitcoin has staged a notable rebound after sweeping liquidity beneath the June lows, but the recovery is now approaching a critical resistance cluster. While momentum has improved in the short term, the broader structure remains bearish until BTC reclaims several major resistance levels overhead. The daily timeframe shows Bitcoin continuing to trade below its key moving averages, with both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages sloping lower and acting as dynamic resistance. The market remains structurally bearish after losing the $72K-$74K support zone in June, which has now flipped into a major supply area. However, the recent price action is becoming more constructive. BTC successfully defended the $58K-$61K support region and produced a sharp bounce from the lower boundary of the broader descending structure. More importantly, the daily RSI has formed a bullish divergence, with momentum making higher lows while the price registered comparable or lower lows around the June bottom. This divergence often appears during exhaustion phases and suggests selling pressure has been weakening despite the downtrend. The immediate challenge lies around $65K-$67K, where a major resistance zone intersects with the descending upper trendline. A successful breakout above this area would likely trigger a larger recovery toward the former breakdown region near $72K-$74K. Conversely, rejection from the current resistance cluster would reinforce the prevailing bearish structure and increase the probability of another move toward the $60K support area. The 4-hour chart highlights a developing falling wedge structure. Bitcoin recently rebounded from the lower boundary near $58K and has advanced steadily toward the upper trendline, which currently converges with the $63K-$64K area. The recovery has already reclaimed the $60K-$61K support zone, turning it back into a short-term demand area. Price is now testing the upper boundary of the wedge while approaching the lower edge of the $64K-$66.5K supply zone. A breakout above the descending trendline could accelerate bullish momentum and open the path toward the higher resistance region around $65K-$67K. Such a move would also confirm a short-term shift in market structure after weeks of lower highs. If the breakout fails, Bitcoin may continue consolidating inside the wedge before attempting another push higher. The $60K-$61K region remains the most important near-term support, while a breakdown below it would place the recent recovery at risk. The Spot Average Order Size metric provides insight into the behavior of larger market participants. Recent data shows that whale-sized transactions continue to dominate activity despite Bitcoin trading near local lows. The latest readings indicate that large orders remain active in the market while prices hover around the $60K-$63K region. Although the metric alone cannot determine directional intent, the persistence of larger transaction sizes during a prolonged decline sugges

XRP Suffered 22% June Loss, but History Favors a Major July Rally

XRP has not been spared by the overall market weakness, especially in June, plummeting hard to a multi-year low of $1.00. However, that coveted support line managed to hold the bears’ breakdown attempt, and the asset has rebounded swiftly. All eyes are now on July, which has been historically one of the token’s best-performing months. This is particularly true for the past four editions, as each brought a double-digit gain. So, what’s next for July 2026? Data from Cryptorank indicated that XRP ended June with a massive 22.1% decline. During the month, the asset dipped to $1.01 (on most exchanges) amid the growing crypto FUD, the escalating tension in the Middle East, and so on. This was its lowest price tag since late 2024 and pushed it out of the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Although it has rebounded to $1.15 as of press time, it still remains below USDC, BNB, USDT, ETH, and BTC. However, the bulls have a lot to hope for in July, at least according to historical performance. All six previous Julys were in the green for XRP. Moreover, five of them delivered double-digit gains. July 2020 and 2023 stand out as the most bullish out of the bunch, with price increases of 48.1% and 47.6%, respectively. Last year’s edition brought a spectacular 35% increase, after another 31.2% surge during the year before. The two more modest gains came in July 2022 (14.6%) and 2021 (6.91%). Although XRP has started the 2026 edition with a 9% increase already, there’s a catch. The five Julys before the aforementioned ones, those from 2015-2019, were all in the red. The question now is, which path will XRP follow now? Something that can push XRP higher is the ongoing inflows into spot Ripple ETFs. As reported over the weekend, the funds have extended their positive streak to nine consecutive weeks in the green. The 22.1% drop in June 2026 meant a similar (22.4%) decline for the entire Q2. Moreover, this became the third consecutive quarter in the red for the first time ever, each with massive losses. XRP dumped by 35.4% in Q4 2025, by another 27.1% in Q1 2026, and the aforementioned 22.4% in Q2 2026. The good news for the Ripple bulls is that the token has reacted with substantial gains after each of its previous negative streaks. The next few months will show whether history will repeat or the losses are just getting started.

Analysts: Ethereum’s Worst Period Is Over – Is ETH About to Crush BTC?

Ethereum could be on the verge of a massive price increase after its painful declines in late 2025 and early 2026 that brought it down toward $1,500. July has already started on the right foot, with a double-digit increase in days. However, it follows two consecutive double-digit monthly declines. Popular analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted on X in a post from this weekend that “the worst period for ETH is over.” He believes that the altcoin is breaking out upwards and building a higher low against the market leader, which means “that we’re back in an uptrend.” This comes after ETH closed June in the red, marking its third consecutive quarter with major losses for the first time ever. Moreover, each of those was by more than 20% – 28.28% in Q4 2025, another 29.26% in Q1 2026, and 25.28% in Q2 this year. Given the significance and rarity of this moment, van de Poppe said: “The chances of having four in a row are statistically very low.” He also outlined the highly anticipated but not certain Clarity Act, which is expected to be signed into law by the end of the year and to benefit Ethereum a lot more than other assets, including BTC. He believes the potential approval will “unlock more liquidity flowing into the ETH ecosystem.” Merlijn The Trader shared a similar bullish opinion on ETH, especially against BTC. This is because ETH dipped to 0.026 against the market leader, which is a historically important level that has launched a major rally in the past. He noted that the last time this signal appeared, the largest altcoin outperformed BTC by over 230%. ETH peaked at over 0.043 against bitcoin in August last year when it charted its ATH against the greenback, but it has been mostly downhill since then. It indeed dipped to and below 0.026 in the past few weeks, but has managed to bounce and now sits at over 0.028. If it’s to mimic its past 230% surge, it could rocket past 0.08, a level not seen in four years. The last time this signal fired, Ethereum crushed Bitcoin by 233%. ETH/BTC today: 0.026. Same level. New golden cross forming. Five years of pain, just to return to the launchpad. The market forgot. The chart didn’t. pic.twitter.com/nNAG1HJ4r6 — Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) July 4, 2026 The post Analysts: Ethereum’s Worst Period Is Over – Is ETH About to Crush BTC? appeared first on CryptoPotato.

Bitcoin Just Had Its Worst Month in 4 Years: What’s Next in July?

2026 hasn’t been bitcoin’s year so far, with the asset posting four (out of six) months in the red. June stands out as the most painful, setting a four-year anti-record. However, history is on BTC’s side for July, and its start has been quite promising. The question is whether the asset will be able to follow through in the following weeks. Before we explore what happened in June, we must go back to the breaking point in May. In the middle of that month, BTC’s price surpassed $82,000, prompting many analysts to speculate that the asset had erased much of its yearly losses and had kickstarted the next bull run. However, the reality was different as the rejection at that level poured more fuel into the ‘sell in May and go away’ narrative. The culmination took place in June as the cryptocurrency plummeted below $70,000 and even beneath $60,000 on a few occasions for the first time since before the US presidential elections in late 2024. After losing roughly $25,000 in weeks, BTC finally showed some early signs of revival and regained some traction by the end of the month. However, it still finished it with a 20.5% drop, making it the worst since June four years ago. The chart above demonstrates that July tends to be a more favorable month for BTC, as nine out of the last 13 editions have brought gains. Moreover, each July that has followed a red June has been in the green. The 2026 edition has started on the right foot, with BTC tapping $63,000 this weekend. However, several factors have to improve in the following weeks for the month to finally provide a well-deserved break. First, the record-setting net outflows from the spot Bitcoin ETFs have to stop, which have been halting BTC’s progress for months now. Second, recent on-chain data showed that real demand from US (and even Korean) investors has been missing, proven by the Coinbase Premium metric. On a more macro level, a potential de-escalation (or a permanent peace deal) in the Middle East would definitely help, as would clearing up the uncertainty around the midterms in the US. Topping this more positive side, bitcoin recently flashed a few bullish signals after it rebounded past the coveted $60,000 level, and analysts are now eyeing the next major breakout. Rekt Capital also weighed in on BTC’s performance in July, suggesting that the cryptocurrency will look to turn the 50-Month EMA (at around $65,000) into resistance.

Ripple (XRP) Keeps Dominating ETF Flows, but Cracks Are Starting to Show

There seems to be a clear winner in terms of investors’ behavior toward crypto-based exchange-traded funds, and it’s not the two market leaders, BTC and ETH. The financial vehicles tracking the performance of Ripple’s cross-border token continue to defy the overall market weakness with another week in the green. The HYPE ETFs also marked another positive week, but it was a significant decline from the previous one. After the impressive end to the previous business week, in which investors poured $15.63 million into the spot XRP ETFs on Friday, hopes for another strong start were high. And the numbers provided by SoSoValue show that reality wasn’t far away, as another $15.34 million entered the ETFs on Monday. However, the trend changed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Net withdrawals dominated, with investors pulling out $2.83 million and $1.86 million, respectively. This was a rare occasion since the funds have not seen too many red days lately despite the broader ETFs’ trend. The last one was a month ago, on June 3. Moreover, the last time when there were two consecutive days in the red was nearly three months ago, in early March. However, unlike the events back then, the tides reversed once again, as the funds saw $6.55 million net inflows on Thursday (the last trading day of the week due to the July 4 holiday). Consequently, the week ended well in the green again, with net inflows of $17.19 million. Thus, the spectacular streak of green-only weeks continues, as the last one (barely) in the red was in late April/early May. Perhaps driven by the positive developments on the ETF scene, the underlying asset’s price has risen by over 8% in the past week and now sits close to $0.15. The HYPE ETFs also enjoyed the last full business week of June, seeing a massive net inflow of $111.36 million, which was by far the largest ever. Although the past four-day business week was also in the green, it was a lot more modest, with just $4.32 million entering the funds. Nevertheless, the cumulative total net inflows sit at an all-time high of almost $300 million, despite the $3.01 million leaving the ETFs on Tuesday.

June 2026 Market Recap: Bitcoin Hits 2-Year Low as ETFs Bleed $8.9B

Bitcoin (BTC) closed June near its weakest level in almost two years after falling to around $58,000 on June 30, while spot Bitcoin ETFs extended a weeks-long run of heavy outflows. The month, according to a Santiment market report, was less about one single crash and more about capital quietly leaving crypto for AI stocks while whales sat on their hands. Per Santiment’s July 2 report, June saw a growing divide between retail traders and large investors, with wallets holding less than 0.01 BTC increasing their holdings in the final two weeks of the month, while those with between 10 and 10,000 BTC reduced their exposure. This, in the firm’s opinion, suggested that large investors remain unconvinced that the market has found a bottom. Another source of pressure came from ETFs. Since May 6, the last time there were consecutive days of inflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded about $8.9 billion in net outflows. In June alone $4.51 billion went out of the funds, marking their worst month since launch, and Santiment argued that such heavy selling, pushing cumulative withdrawals ever closer to the psychologically significant $10 billion mark, can also reflect capitulation, with weaker hands leaving the market after a long decline. The analytics platform also pointed to Strategy and its preferred stock as adding another layer of uncertainty after they fell well below par in June, hitting the $70s at one point and raising concerns about the company’s financial model, especially given the weakening state of BTC at the same time. However, executive chairman Michael Saylor responded by introducing a Digital Credit Capital Framework designed to improve liquidity and support the company’s preferred stock obligations. He also defended Strategy’s recent sale of 32 BTC, saying that the world’s biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin had bought about 175,000 BTC this year and that he had not sold any of his personal stash. The Santiment report had one theme recurring throughout: that money that might previously have flowed into crypto has instead moved into AI and semiconductor stocks. The firm’s analysts described AI equities as one of the biggest competitors for investor attention during June, leaving BTC without the institutional demand it had enjoyed earlier in the cycle. That same point was made by HashKey researcher Tim Sun, who told CryptoPotato that capital was reallocating across risk assets rather than that investors were losing their appetite for risk altogether. According to him, there’s a chance that Bitcoin can pull that capital back if the AI trade gets overcrowded and corrects. The weakness described above was not universal, as Santiment highlighted that Hyperliquid was one of the strongest performers last month after its HYPE token climbed to new highs, supported by growing derivatives activity and new product launches. Another that attracted attention was Lighter’s LIT, which announced tokenomics changes including buybacks, token burns, and staking

Bitcoin ETF Recap: Another Tough Week Despite a Few Bright Spots

The last trading day of the previous business week finally brought some more net inflows rather than consistent outflows for the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. The products tracking the world’s largest altcoin had even more to celebrate at the end of the week, but still closed in the red. There’s no need to sugarcoat the end result – the week was still dominated by the bears. Investors pulling out funds from the spot Bitcoin ETFs withdrew $526.64 million throughout the four-day trading week. This means that the overall negative streak continues as the products have not seen a single green week in almost two months. Within this timeframe, the total cumulative flows have dumped from $59.34 billion to $51.08 billion. July 1 saw the most daily withdrawals, with $294.62 million leaving the funds, according to SoSoValue data. Another $222.64 million went out on June 30 and $231.10 million on June 29. That’s all on the negative side. The bright side was July 2. After 10 consecutive days of only net inflows, the streak was broken as investors poured in $221.72 million. Moreover, this was the highest single-day inflow recorded since May 5. Friday was a non-trading day due to the July 4 holiday, meaning that the week ended on a more positive note. The daily performance of the financial vehicles tracking ETH was even more promising. The Ethereum ETFs saw more modest $30.04 million withdrawals on June 29 and $27.60 million on June 30. However, the tides turned during the next two business days. Investors poured in $14.89 million on Wednesday and $29.08 million on Thursday, marking a near-monthly high. Nevertheless, the week still ended in the red, with total net outflows of $13.67 million. As such, the negative streak of the Ethereum ETFs continues, with eight straight weeks in the red. The total cumulative flows are down from $12.09 billion in early May to $10.89 billion on Thursday. On the more positive side, though, it was a lot less harmful than the $273.34 million taken out during the previous business week.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Break Its Downtrend and Target $2.2K?

Ethereum has extended its recovery over the past several sessions, breaking above its recent consolidation range and approaching a major confluence resistance area. The rally has improved short-term sentiment, but the market is now testing a zone that could determine whether this move develops into a broader trend reversal or remains a relief rally within the prevailing downtrend. Ethereum continues to recover from the $1.46K-$1.53K demand zone, where buyers once again stepped in after defending the June lows. The rebound has now carried price toward the descending trendline that has capped every major rally since the May peak. The recent advance has also reclaimed the $1.70K area, placing ETH just below the next key resistance cluster around $1.82K-$1.86K. This region is particularly important because it aligns with the long-term descending trendline, creating a significant technical confluence. Momentum has improved considerably. The previously discussed bullish RSI divergence has continued to play out, with the indicator making higher highs while price has recovered sharply from support. This suggests bearish momentum has weakened substantially compared to previous sell-offs. Nevertheless, the broader trend cannot be considered bullish until Ethereum breaks above the descending trendline and reclaims the higher resistance band. A rejection from this area would preserve the sequence of lower highs that has defined the market for the past several months. The 4-hour chart shows that Ethereum has successfully broken above its short-term consolidation and reached the first resistance zone around $1.70K-$1.74K. Buyers have maintained strong momentum following the breakout from the lower range, allowing the price to approach the upper boundary of the descending structure. Price is now trading just beneath the falling trendline that has repeatedly rejected previous recovery attempts. A decisive breakout above this trendline would represent the first meaningful structural improvement since the broader decline began and could open the door for a move toward the $1.82K-$1.86K resistance area. As long as Ethereum remains above the recently reclaimed $1.70K region, buyers retain short-term control. However, failure to overcome the descending trendline could trigger another rejection, sending price back toward lower support levels and extending the broader corrective structure. The one-month liquidation heatmap highlights a significant concentration of leveraged positions above the current market price, particularly within the $2K-$2.2K region. These overhead liquidity clusters could act as a magnet for price in the coming sessions. If Ethereum successfully clears the descending trendline and continues its recovery, the market may accelerate toward this area as short liquidations fuel additional upside momentum. However, the reaction after such a liquidity sweep may prove even more important than the rally itself. Once the $2K-$2.2K liquidity has been absor

Dubai tops Asian crypto hubs, Taiwan passes crypto laws: Asia Express

Japan's SBI Crypto shuts down 12th largest Bitcoin mining pool in the world, Russia gears up to launch digital ruble despite EU sanctions, and more: Asia Express. The Indian central bank reportedly urged lawmakers to keep banks insulated from crypto and private stablecoins while preserving room for regulated tokenization. According to a report by The Economic Times, RBI Deputy Governor Rohit Jain and Executive Director P. Vasudevan presented the central bank’s position to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance on Thursday. In a background note submitted to the panel, the RBI reportedly said prohibition remained a recognized policy option and recommended preventing the use of crypto in payments and settlements while restricting banking-sector exposure. The central bank reportedly warned that applying traditional regulation to crypto could legitimize speculative assets and create a false perception of safety among users. However, it urged policymakers to distinguish crypto from tokenized government securities, corporate bonds and other regulated financial instruments so that restrictions would not hinder tokenization. Russia’s central bank governor, Elvira Nabiullina, confirmed that the country was prepared to roll out its central bank digital currency (CBDC) in two months, following the timeline it laid out last year. According to a Thursday report from Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti, Nabiullina said that “everyone is ready” for a Sept. 1 digital ruble launch. The CBDC will launch as a complement to Russia’s fiat currency, the ruble, and will initially be accepted by financial and credit institutions. The digital ruble has already been targeted by preemptive sanctions from European Union authorities, which announced restrictions on the CBDC in April in response to Russia’s “war of aggression against Ukraine.” SBI Crypto, a cryptocurrency-focused division of Japanese financial conglomerate SBI, is shutting down its Bitcoin mining pool after a five-year run. Data from SimpleMining shows SBI Crypto currently ranks as the 12th largest Bitcoin mining pool globally, with about 21.46 exahashes per second (EH/s) of hashrate and roughly 2.24% of total Bitcoin network share. The company announced Wednesday that it will end mining pool operations on July 31 and will stop accepting mining shares at the same time. It did not provide its rationale for closing the pool. SBI Crypto said miners should keep directing hashrate to the pool until the cutoff so final payouts can be calculated correctly before operations end. “We would sincerely appreciate your continued support by mining with us until the final day of operation,” it said. The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned 134 cryptocurrency wallet addresses identified as belonging to terrorist group ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K). ISIS-K has historically solicited crypto through donation campaigns on various websites and messaging platforms. The wallet addre
