UK Serious Fraud Office probes Basis Markets over alleged $28 million crypto fraud

The Serious Fraud Office in Britain has opened a fraud probe into Basis Markets, a now‑defunct cryptocurrency hedge fund. Authorities allege the firm misappropriated $28 million from investors by using deceptive NFT and token offerings in late 2021. Two individuals have been taken into custody in connection with the operation, which had marketed low‑risk arbitrage returns before collapsing under regulatory pressure.

Investors watch Bitcoin’s bull‑bear clash to strategize their next move.

Nic Puckrin, an analyst with The Coin Bureau, noted that Bitcoin is being pulled in different directions by conflicting news as it approaches the weekend.

Bitcoin stabilizes after steep declines: could institutional purchases like BlackRock’s curb the fall?

Bitcoin is trying to climb back toward $95,000 after slipping below $90,000 this week. The drop follows a broader risk‑off swing that erased much of the enthusiasm from its recent $126,000 high. Investors remain jittery as macro expectations shift and volatility spikes. BlackRock bought $62.23 million of Bitcoin through its subsidiaries, signaling a long‑term view rather than a speculative fling. Though modest relative to its total assets, the purchase projects confidence and can draw other large players. Analysts say such involvement adds depth, legitimacy, and a potential stabilizing force. A waning belief in a December Fed rate cut, strained liquidity, and continued Bitcoin‑ETF outflows pushed prices to the $88,000 range. Over $559 million of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, amplifying the decline. Ongoing Fed policy uncertainty and delayed labor data keep risk appetite low. Technical indicators show Bitcoin’s RSI nearing oversold levels, but momentum remains weak. Traders argue that without a firm hold above $94,000‑$96,000, the bearish trend persists, with current support near $92,000 fragile. Future direction will hinge on clearer Fed signals; BlackRock’s move offers a bright spot but may not halt the slide.

How Nvidia’s $57 billion Q3 propelled Bitcoin mining stocks upward.

Why are Bitcoin miners concentrating their rally on Nvidia’s earnings reports rather than on fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price?

Bitcoin veteran Owen Gunden makes his final deposit of 2,499 BTC (approximately $228 million) to Kraken.

Bitcoin is trading below $92,000 as selling pressure intensifies and key support levels have broken. The rapid rise in downside volatility and capitulation among short‑term holders point to market exhaustion. Analysts fear a new bear phase, with sentiment shifting toward the bearish end of the spectrum. Volume remains high on downswings, indicating conviction behind the sell‑off. Owen Gunden deposited his remaining 2,499 BTC into Kraken, sparking speculation about a large‑scale sell‑off. While such moves can amplify fear, similar whale deposits have historically appeared near cycle bottoms. Some analysts argue the correction mirrors mid‑cycle retracements and that macro conditions still support Bitcoin. They see a potential local bottom forming as weak hands exhaust. The 4‑hour chart shows lower highs and lower lows, with the 50, 100 and 200 SMA all above price, confirming a short‑term bearish structure. Price struggles to reclaim the $92 K zone, which now acts as resistance rather than support. A decisive move above $95 K and a break of the 100 SMA would be needed for a structural shift. Until then, consolidation or further downside remains likely.

JPMorgan forecasts possible $2.8 billion in outflows from MicroStrategy due to the threat of MSCI index removal linked to its Bitcoin holdings.

MicroStrategy, now operating under the name Strategy, faces the possibility of removal from MSCI indices as the provider reviews companies that hold more than half of their assets in cryptocurrency. Analysts estimate that a delisting could generate up to $2.8 billion in net withdrawals from Strategy’s shares, pressuring both portfolio composition and market liquidity for the Bitcoin‑focused firm. The MSCI review could set a precedent for other crypto‑heavy issuers, prompting broader reallocation by investors and further strain on equity markets that contain significant digital‑asset exposure.

Altcoin Season Index climbs to 27 amid a shifting crypto landscape

The Altcoin Season Index climbed to 27, up one point from the previous day. It measures the 90‑day performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies against Bitcoin, ignoring stablecoins and wrapped tokens. A reading below 75 still signals Bitcoin dominance. Investors use the index to spot market rotation, gauge risk appetite, and identify potential entry points for altcoins. The recent rise suggests a gradual shift toward diversification beyond Bitcoin. It also helps portfolio managers consider rebalancing. Reaching the magic number of 75 requires a significant momentum swing. Although 27 is far from that threshold, upward movement can accelerate when Bitcoin stabilizes, altcoin projects gain development traction, and institutional or regulatory support grows. Savvy traders may adjust short‑term positions while long‑term holders research fundamentally strong altcoins. The index should complement other metrics such as project fundamentals, market cap, and trading volume. Monitoring it offers an early signal of evolving market dynamics.

Bitcoin for America Act: A Plan to Revamp Tax Payments and Build a U.S. Strategic Reserve

A new bill introduced in Washington would let Americans pay federal taxes with Bitcoin. Representative Warren Davidson frames it as a step toward making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.” Payments would be funneled into a newly created Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The proposal is presented as a modernization of the financial system. It aims to capture Bitcoin’s potential appreciation against an inflating dollar. Allowing tax payments in Bitcoin gives taxpayers more flexibility while creating a government‑held asset that could grow over time. Davidson argues Bitcoin, untouched by quantitative easing, offers a stable store of wealth. The reserve is expected to lessen reliance on debt financing and improve the nation’s balance sheet. By holding a scarce, appreciating asset, the U.S. could strengthen its fiscal position in a digital global economy. The Treasury Secretary would be authorized to accept, hold, and manage the Bitcoin received. Secure custody measures such as cold storage and geographically dispersed facilities would protect the reserve. Transfers to the government would trigger no taxable gain or loss for the payer. Annual disposals would be limited to preserve long‑term value. The reserve is intended to remain a lasting fiscal resource for future generations.

Shiba Inu price outlook: SHIB now usable in real-world purchases – Could this new card be a game‑changer?

SHIB introduced a crypto debit card with Bitget, offering up to $400 of fee‑free monthly spending and no conversion or FX charges. The first 100 claimants split 115 million SHIB (about $10 each), while later users receive a $5 SHIB bonus. The card launched live despite a 3.5% price dip on the announcement. Shiba Inu trades roughly 90% below its all‑time high, and Shibarium’s TVL stays low at $1.86 million, indicating weak user retention. The coin’s price has remained speculative because of limited real‑world utility. The new card seeks to close this gap by providing genuine spending capability. On the 1‑day chart SHIB is testing the lower bound of a seven‑month descending channel, with RSI showing bullish divergence and MACD nearing a golden cross. Recovering to $0.0000107 could spark a 167% rise toward $0.000024 if the card attracts fresh capital. A larger surge to $0.00005 would depend on broader Shibarium adoption. When SHIB stalls, capital often moves to the next meme token; Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is currently attracting attention. Its presale has raised about $4.1 million, and staking rewards can reach 76% APY. Investors view $MAXI as a potential successor in the next meme‑coin rally.

Solana shows initial bullish trends and may be forming a cup‑and‑handle pattern.

Solana ($SOL) is showing initial bullish signs, with price consolidating around the 138‑140 USDT support zone on the 12‑hour chart. On the daily timeframe, a long‑term cup‑and‑handle formation has emerged, suggesting a possible upward move. The current setup points to a recovery path that may push SOL toward the 460 USDT resistance level. Simultaneously, the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization appears to be stabilizing near $75 billion. The 12‑hour chart displays TD Sequential buy signals, marking the commencement of a new bullish cycle following the recent downtrend.

XRP Forecast: Harsh Sell‑Off Drives XRP Near Complete Collapse – Could a Bear Market Be Beginning?

XRP fell 16% in one week, sliding toward the $2 barrier as broader crypto sentiment soured. 24‑hour volume rose 27% to about 5% of its circulating market cap, reflecting heightened pressure. The new US XRP ETF has failed to halt the decline, and the Fear & Greed Index dropped to 15, a level unseen since April. A short‑term bounce off a key trend‑line support gave brief hope, but a break below could trigger a 17% fall to $1.75. A deeper breach may target $1.47, erasing roughly 30% of value. Open interest in XRP futures is at its lowest since November, underscoring market pessimism. Traders are eyeing the Maxi Doge ($MAXI) presale, which promises early upside and community rewards. Up to 25% of presale funds will be allocated to leading tokens, with profits funding continued promotion. Participants can buy $MAXI via the official site using USDT, ETH, or a bank card.

Grab the BullZilla presale now—BLACK100 bonus will double your tokens in today’s top crypto pick, even as CRO and LINK slide.

The crypto market is volatile, with investors seeking the next top pick. Cronos (CRO) trades at $0.1119, up 6.57% in 24 hours, but offers limited upside. Chainlink (LINK) slipped 5.8% to $13.30, providing stability but slow growth. BullZilla (BZIL) is in Stage 11 Cheartbreaker, priced at $0.00027906. Over $1 million has been raised, 32 billion tokens sold to 3,600+ buyers. Early participants report ROI between 1,788% and 4,753% before listing. The BLACK100 code doubles token allocations, halving effective entry cost. Compared with CRO’s modest momentum and LINK’s slow rise, BullZilla offers explosive, scarcity‑driven returns. The 48‑hour stage windows and $100k milestones create urgency and FOMO. Analysts cite the presale’s structure and bonus as key reasons to rank it the top crypto to buy now.

JPMorgan reports a $4 billion ETF withdrawal as the crypto correction worsens.

Retail investors have pulled roughly $4 billion from spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs since November, the biggest outflow since February. JPMorgan says this is the main cause of the current crypto correction. Weekly redemptions keep price pressure on digital assets despite stable liquidations. The outflows thin market depth, boost volatility, and signal wider sentiment. Reduced liquidity creates entry points for long‑term buyers. The episode shows that decentralized markets still react to centralized ETF moves. JPMorgan notes the dip may linger until ETF flows steady, though past corrections often precede rallies. Recovery likely depends on retail confidence, regulatory clarity, and institutional uptake. Investors should match actions to risk tolerance and may view the dip as a rebalance chance.

Nvidia slides as US stock markets tumble, dragging down the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow.

Nvidia’s stock fell while the United States’ major equity indexes recorded losses.

Investors cited concerns over technology valuations and mixed earnings reports as key factors behind the decline.

Altcoin listed on Binance sharply falls even after favorable news.

Magic Labs, the wallet provider for Polymarket and Naver, is adding Newton Protocol’s SDK to its platform. The move brings programmable compliance directly to the transaction layer for its 50 million wallets. This marks the largest‑scale deployment of a programmable compliance infrastructure to date. Jaemin Jin, co‑founder of Magic Labs, said the integration secures both accounts and transactions. Over 200 000 developers in the Magic ecosystem will now access Newton’s policy layer. They can embed verifiable policy enforcement and automated risk management into apps. The integration makes on‑chain compatibility a native feature for hundreds of thousands of projects. Mohammad Akhavannik highlighted the scalability benefits for application developers. Despite the technical advance, NEWT’s price fell after the announcement. Charts show a noticeable decline following the news. The slide is noted as non‑investment advice. The price movement contrasts with the positive development outlook.

Groundbreaking Dogecoin ETF Unveiled: 21Shares Introduces a Nasdaq‑Listed 2‑times Leveraged DOGE Fund

21Shares introduced a 2x leveraged Dogecoin ETF on Nasdaq, ticker TXXD. The fund offers institutional‑grade exposure to DOGE, aiming to deliver twice the daily performance of the cryptocurrency. Listing on a major exchange adds credibility and makes the product accessible to retail and institutional investors. The ETF uses derivatives and daily rebalancing to maintain 2x leverage, providing amplified gains while preserving regulatory oversight. Investors can trade it like any other ETF, avoiding wallet management and benefiting from standard brokerage reporting. Liquidity, transparent pricing, and built‑in risk controls make it a convenient bridge between traditional finance and meme‑coin markets. Leverage also magnifies losses, and daily compounding can cause returns to diverge from a simple 2x multiple over longer periods. Dogecoin’s high volatility heightens this risk, and evolving crypto regulations could affect the fund’s operation. Nonetheless, the product signals growing institutional acceptance of digital assets and may spur similar offerings.

Declining stablecoin usage and the rise of quiet order books are tightening crypto liquidity.

The crypto market has moved into a correction, and liquidity feels fragile as November’s trading activity thinned and the stablecoin sector receded. Since November 15, about $840 million has left the fiat‑pegged token segment, underscoring a dry‑powder deficit. For two straight weeks, both stablecoin activity and overall trading volumes have continued to contract.
