French authorities are stepping up efforts to protect cryptocurrency investors amid a sharp increase in violent, targeted attacks.

Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week, Jean-Didier Berger, minister delegate to the interior minister of France, said the government has already introduced preventive steps. Specifically, these include a dedicated platform to reduce so-called "wrench attacks," in which criminals use force to access digital assets.

The initiative is already seeing strong uptake, with thousands of users reportedly signing up. Berger also confirmed ongoing coordination with Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez on a broader national security strategy, which is expected to be developed in the coming weeks.

The urgency behind these measures is reflected in recent figures. French outlet RTL reported 41 crypto-related kidnappings so far in 2026. This suggests an incident roughly every two and a half days.

Why the US Government’s $606K Bitfinex Bitcoin Transfer to Coinbase Prime Matters
The US government has moved around $606,000 worth of BTC to a Coinbase Prime wallet, research from on-chain intelligence portal Arkham shows. While the value of the cryptocurrency involved was minuscule compared to the overall stash in the government wallets, the origin of these BTC can be traced back to the Bitfinex hack of 2016. The move is raising questions about whether this is a test run to transfer these BTC to institutional wallets, signaling the end of this nearly decade-long high-profile hack.
The cryptocurrency exchange witnessed one of the largest cyber attacks in the history of the digital currency market, with users losing 119,754 BTC in total. Ilya Lichtenstein exploited a vulnerability in Bitfinex’s multi-signature withdrawal system, authorizing over 2,000 fraudulent transactions, and was able to steal a huge amount from the exchange’s wallets.

American authorities recovered roughly 94,000 BTC from the hackers, and the stash has been sitting in government wallets ever since. It is worth a whopping $7.1 billion based on the cryptocurrency’s latest valuation. Ten years ago, it was worth just $71 million. 

Lichtenstein and his wife, Heather Morgan, were both co-accused in this case and were arrested in 2022 under money laundering charges. Both received multi-year sentences after pleading guilty.

A Lego-style Iranian military commander raps over a gangster beat: "Our inbox is flooded with Americans saying they don't watch the news. They listen to our songs instead since your media is full of shit. "This is the opening line of an Al-generated video which is part of Iran's meme campaign - built around Lego-style animation and rap soundtracks, which have accumulated billions of views online. The line captures the strange reality of contemporary politics: news is often most effectively disseminated not through journalism but humour, memes and entertainment.Since late February, pro-Iranian media groups most notably, the X account Explosive Media have flooded social media with Al-generated video content mocking Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and US foreign policy. It has been dubbed "slopaganda" but the sophistication is striking. These videos contain disinformation and antisemitic tropes but do not look or feel like state propaganda despite the spokesperson for Explosive Media admitting to the BBC that the Iranian government is a client. They capture the internet zeitgeist: fast, funny, visually familiar and designed for virality. Trojan horses The success of these memes lies in their audience strategy. They do not target people actively seeking news. Instead, they mimic the language of everyday internet culture to reach those who are not following events in the Middle East at all. Humour is the mechanism they use to get reach. These videos function as Trojan horses, drawing viewers in with recognisable imagery, references and music - while communicating a narrative about American overreach, dysfunction and corruption. As Emerson Brooking, a US-based expert in disinformation, notes, this kind of content reaches "politically uninvested people who otherwise wouldn't have engaged with war-related content".

SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to ‘insured’ token


The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called “insured” crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

In a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC alleged that Basile ran the scheme between March and December 2021 through Monsoon Blockchain Corp. and GIBF GP Inc., offering investors Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) that promised future delivery of the token, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Regulators said hundreds of investors were told the asset was backed and insured, but the SEC alleged no insurance company ever provided coverage or any proof that these claims were true, per the report.

The case marks one of the few SEC enforcement actions under the Trump administration, which has signaled a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance compared to previous administrations.

Crypto funds spent on luxury

The SEC said Basile repeatedly represented that Bitcoin Latinum was an insured, asset-backed cryptocurrency and that investor funds would help support its underlying value. Instead, the complaint alleges, millions of dollars were diverted to personal spending, including real estate purchases, credit card payments and the acquisition of a $160,000 horse.

The regulator is seeking permanent injunctions, repayment of allegedly ill-gotten gains with interest, civil penalties, and a ban on Basile’s participation in securities offerings, according to the WSJ. It also wants an officer-and-director bar preventing him from leading public companies in the future.

Bitcoin surged above $78,000 in a sharp short squeeze after Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz fully open and Donald Trump claimed Tehran agreed to an unlimited suspension of its nuclear program.

The rally triggered about $762 million in crypto liquidations, mostly from short positions, with bitcoin accounting for roughly $382 million and ether $167 million, as funding rates had been negative for weeks.

Traders are watching the $76,000 to $78,000 zone as a key resistance area whose sustained break could clear a path toward bitcoin’s $94,000 yearly open and $126,000 record high, while other major tokens also logged solid weekly gains.
