CFTC probes oil futures trades tied to Trump's moves in Iran: Report



The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is reportedly investigating suspicious oil trades that were placed ahead of certain announcements made by the Trump administration relating to the Iran war.

According to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday, the CFTC’s probe focuses on trading activity on CME Group’s NYMEX and the Intercontinental Exchange’s futures platforms.

The regulator is also requesting “Tag 50” identity data from exchanges to assist with the investigation. Tag 50 data is widely used for auditing and regulatory compliance checks.

The investigation into the futures trading platforms comes in parallel with the rising scrutiny of insider trading in prediction markets.

Bloomberg said the CFTC is reviewing at least two instances over a two-week period in which oil trading volumes surged shortly before the Trump administration made announcements related to the Iran war.

The first of those occurred on March 23, when billions of dollars in futures traded about 15 minutes before US President Donald Trump postponed plans to strike Iranian energy infrastructure.

The second instance occurred around two weeks later, on April 7, when Trump announced a two-week ceasefire on Iran, Bloomberg said.

The trading spikes contributed to falling oil prices and rising equity prices.

“There’s enormous appetite to pursue cases like this,” said Brian Young, a partner at law firm Jones Day who previously served as director of the CFTC’s enforcement division.

Dormant Bitcoin Whale Springs to Life after 14 Years, Moves 1,000 BTC as Price Flirts With $75,000 Bitcoin (BTC) held steady on Thursday after a turbulent week that saw broader weakness across the crypto market.

Notably, over the past week, the world's largest cryptocurrency surged by nearly 4%, resisting persistent selling pressure that weighed heavily on several major digital assets.

Amid this surge, big players seem to be starting to participate with this particular dormant whale, who has bounced back to life after 14 years.

According to data from on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain, the wallet, known as "15MZvK", had been inactive for more than 14 years before suddenly becoming active approximately eight months ago.

The whale has been gradually reducing its holdings since that time. The whale transferred 1,000 BTC, valued at approximately $74 million, in a matter of minutes.

Despite the sizable transfer, the wallet still holds approximately 1,833 BTC, worth more than $135 million at current prices, suggesting potential for further developments.

Market Awaits Breakout Above Key
Resistance
XRP is currently showing stability in the market as it trades within a tight range, building momentum for a potential breakout.
Despite overall market fluctuations, XRP has managed to hold its ground, which indicates strong buyer support. The main focus for traders right now is the ongoing interest in Ripple's ecosystem and its cross-border payment solutions, which continue to attract institutional attention.
Another factor supporting XRP is the growing optimism around regulatory clarity.
Positive developments in Ripple-related discussions are improving investor sentiment, which could play a major role in XRP's next move. However, like other altcoins, XRP is also facing resistance due to short-term profit-taking and overall market uncertainty.
Il Current Market Situation:
XRP is currently trading around the $0.60 - $0.65 range, which is acting as a
consolidation zone. This range is important because it will decide the next direction of the price. A breakout or breakdown from this zone is expected soon.
~ Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If XRP breaks above $0.66 resistance, next targets could be:
$0.75
$0.85
If rejection occurs:
Support levels: $0.55 - $0.57
• Final Insight:
XRP's structure is currently neutral to bullish, with a high chance of breakout if buying volume increases. Traders should wait for confirmation before entering trades.

$4B in crypto losses – Can Ethereum’s $1mln audit push make difference?

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has unveiled an aggressive plan to help improve the security of apps across its mainnet. Dubbed the ‘Ethereum audit subsidy,’ the $1 million initiative brings over 20 security providers, alongside Nethermind, Areta, and Chainlink Labs.

Ethereum-based projects of all sizes will be able to access the program. According to the team, the program will enhance the broader Ethereum ecosystem security based on the principles of CROPS (censorship, resistance, open source, privacy, and security).  

Commenting on the program, Areta Market CEO Findlay Boothroyd, said 

A project that cannot defend itself puts every other guarantee at risk, and we designed this program alongside our partners to help close this gap.

The update follows a similar move by Solana Foundation’s STRIDE security program after the $285 million Drift breach. In other words, leading Layer 1 networks aren’t taking security for granted amid surging institutional interest in the sector.

Paxos Labs raises $12mln to solve THIS DeFi ‘product problem’



Paxos Labs raises $12mln to solve THIS DeFi ‘product problem’

Paxos Labs has raised $12 million to solve what the project calls DeFi’s ‘product problem.’ Notably, Paxos Labs is a spin-off of the crypto infrastructure firm Paxos. 

Through its new Amplify, Paxos Labs believes it can make it super easy for users to earn yield, borrow, and lend assets at scale. 

In a statement, Spencer Bogart, general partner at Blockchain Capital, an early investor and one of the key firms that led the latest fundraising round, said,

The infrastructure problem is largely solved. The product problem, what users and platforms actually do with these assets on-chain, is the largest open opportunity in fintech today, and this is the team to build it.

For the unfamiliar, Paxos is a white-label issuer or simply a service provider that helps other firms to create and manage their branded stablecoins. 

However, the Paxos Labs spin-off was necessary to address the lack of clarity associated with DeFi regulation. Now, the team wants to go beyond branded stablecoins. 

Paxos Labs’ Amplify plans

Amplify is a new stack by Paxos Labs that allows users to mint, earn, and borrow assets. For institutions, Amplify aims to help apps and other fintechs make on-chain assets more productive.

The end goal? Empower users to earn yield.

Commenting on the update, Bhau Kotecha, Co-Founder of Paxos Labs, said

Bitcoin Price Today: Is $80K The Next Stop After 6% 

Bitcoin is pushing into a technically important area, with price tightening against resistance and a larger move in either direction looking increasingly likely. $BTC is trading around the $73,000–$74,000 range, showing a rough 5–6% short-term gain, signaling a steady recovery phase in the market. The setup looks constructive on the surface, but analysts who have navigated previous cycles know this is precisely where markets tend to be most deceptive.



$BTC Beyond the Double Bottom Formation

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has explained that Bitcoin is attempting to break above the neckline of a developing double bottom formation near $72,810. A weekly close above this level or a successful retest could confirm a breakout,
