The payments market remains the largest avenue for blockchains to expand the DeFi sector.

The logic behind this is simple: Stablecoin utility works best when users move them frequently in low-friction transactions. Payments naturally create that environment, as they involve continuous settlement, liquidity movement, and real-world demand for value transfer.

In this context, payments are not just a use case for DeFi. Instead, they are the foundational layer through which stablecoins and blockchain networks can achieve mainstream utility.

Ripple’s [XRP] recent partnerships reflect this strategy.

US Justice Department opens claims for victims of $4 billion OneCoin fraud

The Department of Justice opened a remission process for victims of the $4 billion OneCoin fraud, with more than $40 million in forfeited assets currently available for compensation.

Victims must submit petition forms through the remission administrator by June 30, according to the DOJ.
The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a remission claims process for victims of the OneCoin cryptocurrency scheme, allowing eligible investors to seek compensation from forfeited assets tied to related criminal cases.

More than $40 million in forfeited assets are now available for distribution through the department's remission process, though the scheme collected over $4 billion from victims worldwide between 2014 and 2019, according to a DOJ statement released Monday.

Individuals who purchased the OneCoin cryptocurrency during that period may be eligible to file claims through the remission program administered by Kroll. Petition forms are available through the program's website, and submissions must be filed by June 30, the DOJ said.

The funds stem from criminal forfeiture actions tied to federal prosecutions in the Southern District of New York, per the statement.

The announcement comes as OneCoin co-founder Ruja Ignatova remains a fugitive. Ignatova was added to the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list in June 2022, and the bureau said it is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to her arrest. The U.S. State Department has also offered a separate reward of up to $5 million for information leading to Ignatova's capture.

North Korea has conducted fresh missile tests from its newest warship, the Choe Hyon destroyer, as part of ongoing operational trials observed by leader Kim Jong Un and top military officials. State media outlet KCNA reported the tests on Tuesday, confirming that two strategic cruise missiles and three anti-warship missiles were launched over waters along the country's western coast.The firing exercise was designed to evaluate the vessel's integrated weapons command system, sharpen crew readiness in missile-launch procedures, and confirm the precision and anti-jamming capabilities of its upgraded navigation technology. According to KCNA, the cruise missiles remained airborne for roughly 7,869 to 7,920 seconds, while the anti-warship missiles flew for approximately 1,960 to 1,973 seconds — both reportedly striking their targets with high accuracy.During the same visit, Kim was briefed on weapons system plans for two additional destroyers currently under construction, signaling that North Korea is pressing forward with a third and fourth vessel in the Choe Hyon class. This marks what analysts believe to be the first official acknowledgment of a fourth destroyer being built.Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University, noted that the accelerated production pace suggests Pyongyang is working to establish a full destroyer flotilla rather than deploying individual ships. He also pointed out that North Korea appears to be capitalizing on global strategic distractions — including ongoing conflicts in the Middle East — to fast-track advances in its nuclear arsenal and missile delivery systems.Kim reiterated that bolstering the country's nuclear war deterrent remains a national priority, urging continued improvements in both strategic and tactical strike capabilities as well as rapid-response readiness.

Bitcoin tests $75,000 as $200 million in shorts face liquidation risk



Bitcoin is pressing up against $75,000, a price it has repeatedly failed to surpass since early February, putting the broader crypto market on breakout watch after more than two months of range-bound trading.

Traders have been building short positions around that level, betting on another rejection. Data from CoinGlass shows roughly $200 million in shorts would be liquidated if $BTC pushes above $75,500 — a dynamic that could accelerate any upside move.

At the same time, macroeconomic sentiment is improving. U.S. equities rallied Monday, with the S&P 500 index posting its highest close since before the Iran conflict escalated, after President Donald Trump signaled willingness to strike a deal with Tehran.

Precious metals also made a comeback on Tuesday with silver rallying by 2.9% since midnight UTC while gold added 0.7% to $4,775 per ounce.

Derivatives positioning

Notional open interest (OI) in crypto futures rose to $126 billion, the most since Jan. 31, according to Coinglass.

Ether’s OI surged to 14.99 million $ETH ($35.79 billion), the highest since July. The growth likely stems from increased demand for bullish bets because the 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD) is positive, indicating that aggressive buying is dominating the flow. Positive funding rates also suggest the same.

Bitcoin OI has surged to a record high of 767,000 $BTC, while positive CVD and funding rates also signal bullish positioning.

ZEC, $SOL and HYPE are other notable coins displaying bullish patterns.

It's worth noting that while funding rates are positive for most tokens, they are not unusually high. This is a sweet spot for a grind higher, and indicates that the market is not overheated.

However, the 30-day implied volatility (IV) indexes for bitcoin and ether, BVIV and EVIV, have stopped declining over the past t
