Abstract

За прошедшую неделю #XRPNetwork вырос на 17%, в то время как #Bitcoin (-5%), #Ethereum (-16%) и большинство #crypto снизились.

За последнюю неделю криптовалютные киты продемонстрировали значительные изменения в своем поведении. После поддержки второй по величине криптовалюты в мире Ethereum (ETH) в преддверии процедуры «Слияния» Ethereum, в ходе которой сеть была переведена с алгоритма консенсуса Proof-of-Work (PoW, доказательство выполнения работы) на Proof-of-Stake (PoS, доказательство доли владения). Теперь они сосредоточились на XRP компании Ripple.

⠀

После «Слияния», которое состоялось на прошлой неделе цена ETH подверглась серьезной коррекции, потеряв более 20% за неделю. По данным аналитической компании Santiment, крупные Ethereum-адреса значительно сократили свои запасы моент после обновления сети:

⠀

«Слияние #Ethereum 15 сентября привело к изменению поведения крупных адресов. За последние 6 дней после перехода на #proofofstake адреса, владеющие от 1 тыс. до 10 тыс. $ETH, потеряли 2,24% от своего совокупного объема. Адреса от 100 до 1 тыс. снизились на 1,41%.»

Киты переключают свое внимание на XRP

⠀

Распродажа ETH продолжается и в довольно больших масштабах. В то время как другие альткоины зафиксировали однопроцентные недельные потери, ETH упал более чем на 20%. Однако есть один альткоин, который торгуется наперекор медвежьему тренду, и это XRP от Ripple.

⠀

За последнюю неделю наблюдался активный рост длинных позиций по XRP, объём которых вырос на 20% на недельных графиках. Недавний скачок цен произошел на фоне сообщений о том, что XRP скоро достигнет соглашения с Комиссией по ценным бумагам и биржам США. По данным аналитической компании Santiment:

⠀

«За прошедшую неделю #XRPNetwork вырос на 17%, в то время как #Bitcoin (-5%), #Ethereum (-16%) и большинство #crypto снизились. Продолжающиеся баталии между #Ripple и #SEC по поводу усиления регулирования в основном привели к росту оптимизма трейдеров и интенсивному движению со стороны китов».

Помимо альткоинов, биткоин также находится под сильным давлением продаж, упав на 7% за последнюю неделю. В среду цена BTC упала ниже 19 000 долларов США, поскольку ФРС объявила о повышении ставки на 75 базисных пунктов для борьбы с растущей инфляцией.

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.

South Korea Targets 40 Unregistered Crypto Operators in Regulatory Crackdown

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit has referred around 40 unregistered virtual asset service providers to the police as part of a regulatory crackdown. Under local law, all crypto exchanges must obtain ISMS certification and FIU registration before operating, yet only 28 entities are currently registered. The FIU identified methods used by offshore platforms to attract Korean users, including advertising on local messaging apps and using private money changers to convert stablecoins. Officials stressed that unregistered platforms are not protected by Korean law. This action aligns with South Korea's push for stricter global crypto compliance through FATF measures. FIU Director Lee Hyung-joo recently urged FATF members to remove transaction thresholds for the "Travel Rule," as South Korea plans to mandate identity checks for all crypto transactions starting in August, expanding from the current 1 million won (≈$730) minimum. Regulatory enforcement has intensified in 2026, with authorities pursuing criminal cases against market manipulation schemes and enhancing cooperation with financial institutions to curb cross-border illegal transactions.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.
