French authorities have indicted at least 88 people over alleged wrench attacks targeting crypto owners.  Summary French prosecutors charged 88 people, including ten minors, over alleged crypto wrench attacks on holders. Authorities said 75 suspects remain in pre-trial detention as 12 investigations continue in Paris. Prosecutors warned crypto holders to avoid online overexposure that could make them physical targets. The group includes ten minors, said Vanessa Perrée, France’s national prosecutor for organized crime.  The cases relate to 12 investigations handled by specialized judges at the Paris Judicial Court. Prosecutors said 75 of the accused remain in pre-trial detention as law enforcement continues to examine the networks behind the attacks.

French authorities have linked such crimes to home invasions, kidnappings, extortion attempts and forced wallet access. PNACO has recorded a sharp rise in these cases. The agency tracked 18 incidents in 2024, 67 in 2025 and 47 so far in 2026, showing how physical crypto-related crime has grown in France. Perrée said the crimes carry serious legal weight because they involve abduction, detention, extortion and attempts to force crypto transfers. She said the acts were serious because of “the harm caused to individuals” and the methods used. Investigators have merged several cases after finding repeated links between some suspects. Perrée said these links revealed “the existence of structured networks,” with authorities still working to identify the organizers and money flows.

Quantum computers pose a very real threat to cryptocurrency security measures. A recent Google report highlighted that “future quantum computers may break the elliptic curve cryptography that protects cryptocurrency and other systems with fewer qubits and gates than previously realized.” Solana (SOL) is the latest project to foray into quantum security with the announcement of Falcon. Let’s discuss what it means.Solana Prepares For Quantum Security Future With FalconSource: Journal du CoinAccording to a new SOL report, two of Solana’s validator client developers, Anza and Firedancer, have been studying post-quantum migration for the project. Both teams concluded that there is a need for post-quantum digital signature scheme. This new post-quantum digital signature scheme is Falcon.However, Solana’s report notes that “no change is required today or likely anytime soon.” Nonetheless, given the fast movement towards a quantum future, the project is preparing a “plan that can be activated if and when the time comes.“Apart from the work by Anza and Firedancer, the larger Solana ecosystem has already made progress in post-quantum security. Blueshift’s Solana Winternitz Vault is one such initiative. The platform “provides a direct path for quantum resilience and has been in place for over two years.” Moreover, Google has even mentioned the Winternitz Vault in a whitepaper, calling it a “leading example of proactive post-quantum work.“The advent of quantum computers present a substantial threat to the crypto sector. Solana (SOL) has joined the likes of Ethereum (ETH) and XRP, which have already begun researching post-quantum features. Being ready for a quantum future is of the utmost importance for cryptocurrency projects. Investors may move away from projects that do not provide for quantum security.Also Read: XRP Will Be Quantum Ready By 2028: Here’s What To Know

XRP's True Home in 2026: Is Europe Outpacing US? Ripple's UK CEO Craddock Challenges Vegas Narrative
While the crypto community has gathered in Las Vegas for a major Ripple conference, discussing the future of $XRP in the United States, a powerful contender for leadership has emerged from London. Cassie Craddock, Managing Director of Ripple in the UK and Europe, delivered a statement that forces a look at the question: has Europe truly become a more favorable environment for $XRP than the U.S.?

In the States $XRP is still often discussed through the lens of regulatory news, but in Europe the focus has shifted to pure execution. The adoption of digital assets has moved from pilot projects to production, Craddock says, and in her view, nowhere is this more evident than in Europe.

Bitcoin loses $77,000, ether, solana slide as Hormuz standoff lifts oil to 3-week high
Bitcoin has been rejected at $79,000 three times in eight sessions. The level is now defining the range.

Bitcoin traded at $76,923 on Tuesday morning, down 2.4% over 24 hours after climbing to $79,399 on Monday and reversing through the day. Ether fell 3.7% to $2,290, XRP slipped 3.2% to $1.39, Solana dropped 3.9% to $84.10, and BNB declined 1.8% to $625. The whole top 10 closed red on 24 hours outside Tron and Dogecoin.

Brent crude rose 1% to above $109 a barrel, extending its rally to a seventh day after Iran's interim deal proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz failed to advance over the weekend. The White House said US officials were discussing the latest Iranian proposal but maintained "red lines" on any deal to end the eight-week war.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed, with Japanese stocks supported by the Bank of Japan's 6-3 split decision to keep policy unchanged. The yen strengthened 0.3% to around 159 per dollar.

Two readings of the bitcoin tape are circulating among market analysts.

Ethereum stalls near $2,300: is a big move brewing?
Ether’s price action mirrors that of Bitcoin over the last few hours.

Similar to Bitcoin, Ether rallied to the $2,404 level during the late hours of Sunday but failed to take out the resistance level at $2,423.

The leading altcoin has been trading sideways over the past few days.

With the support level still holding, the bulls could push Ether’s price higher in the near term.

Ether sale and mixed derivatives data

Ether is down by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $2,318 per coin.

The bearish performance comes after it failed to take out the $2,423 resistance level a few hours ago.

The Ethereum Foundation recently sold 10,000 $ETH to BitMine.

This transaction has drawn attention due to ongoing concerns over potential selling pressure linked to Foundation-related movements.

The latest on-chain data reveals that 31.5% of the total $ETH supply, equivalent to 39.2 million $ETH, is now staked.

A significant portion of the stake Ether (23%) is managed through LIDO.

Furthermore, on-chain activity has shown selective institutional accumulation, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Over the next few days, Ether could trade within a $2,325 to $2,415 range, corresponding to a typical volatility band around current levels.

A bullish outcome would require sustained trading above immediate resistance ($2,423) and the upper end of the range.

A bearish scenario would occur if prices slip below $2,325 and test lower supports.

The derivatives data also show a mixed market reaction at the moment.

CoinGlass’s futures Open Interest (OI) for Ether now reads $31.79 billion, down 1% from the $32.3 billion recorded on Sunday.

The declining OI suggests that investors have reduced their exposure to the market.

Ethereum’s OI-Weighted Funding Rate also flipped negative on Monday and now reads -0.0019%.
