Большую часть изъятых цифровых активов служба хранит на одном «холодном» кошельке

Секретная служба США (U.S. Secret Service, USSS), более известная своей работой по охране американских президентов, стала одной из главных в мире организаций, занимающихся борьбой с преступлениями в сфере криптовалют, пишет Bloomberg. Как сообщили источники издания, за последнее десятилетие служба конфисковала цифровые активы на сумму почти $400 млн.

Расследованиями криптовалютных преступлений и изъятием цифровых активов занимается подразделение USSS под названием Глобальный центр следственных операций (GIOC). В сообщении говорится, что большая часть конфискованных агентами средств хранится на одном «холодном» кошельке, который сейчас является одним из самых «ценных» в мире.

Согласно данным ФБР, в 2024 году убытки от криптомошенничества в США достигли $9,3 млрд. Из них почти $2,8 млрд пришлось на пожилых людей, которые потеряли деньги, поверив в мошеннические схемы с инвестициями: оставили их на фейковых криптоплатформах или отправили вымогателям.

В GIOC отслеживают средства, похищенные мошенниками, анализируя ончейн-данные, и обучают этому сотрудников правоохранительных органов в других странах. Также в расследованиях секретной службе помогают отраслевые компании, такие как Coinbase и Tether. Они предоставляют агентам информацию и по запросу правоохранителей замораживают средства на кошельках.

Так, в конце 2023 года Tether заморозила $225 млн, связанные с синдикатом по торговле людьми. Позднее они были конфискованы USSS.

Также в марте этого года Секретная служба США приняла участие в конфискации доменов криптовалютной биржи Garantex и заморозке ее активов на $26 млн. Власти США обвинили российскую платформу в отмывании денег, содействии преступным организациям и нарушении санкционного режима.

Blackrock Believes Bitcoin's Investment Appeal Remains Despite 50% Drop

In a report titled "Re-Underwriting Bitcoin," BlackRock argues that bitcoin's investment thesis remains intact despite a >50% drop from its $126,300 peak in October 2025. The asset manager attributes the decline to three overlapping factors: the unwinding of crypto leverage, a slowdown in institutional inflows, and selling pressure from large holders—not a fundamental change in bitcoin's role. The sell-off was triggered by a chain liquidation on October 10, 2025, which wiped out ~$20 billion in futures open interest. Concurrently, AI-focused funds attracted over $46 billion, diverting institutional capital. U.S. spot bitcoin ETPs saw ~$5 billion in outflows, a reversal from their prior growth role. Notably, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) sold some bitcoin, marking a policy shift. BlackRock's own iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was part of a $1.3 billion block trade, yet continues to attract fresh capital on up days, suggesting persistent but more selective institutional demand. The report highlights bitcoin's "dual identity," noting its correlation with risk assets like stocks is episodic, not structural. BlackRock maintains its recommendation for a 1-2% portfolio allocation to bitcoin, funded by reducing equity exposure in a traditional 60/40 portfolio.

XRP Price Forecast Remains Unchanged as XRP ETFs Surpass $1.5 Billion Inflows

XRP Price Forecast Remains Unchanged as XRP ETFs Surpass $1.5B in Inflows The XRP price forecast remains balanced on a knife's edge, with the price trapped in its narrowest trading range in years. Consolidation between $0.99 and $1.01 since mid-August presents a stark contrast to the steady downtrend from May. Key technical indicators highlight the tension: the price is compressed within tightening Bollinger Bands, signaling low volatility, while the 20-day and 50-day EMAs at $1.0265 and $1.0708, respectively, pose significant overhead resistance. A break above $1.0172 on the hourly chart is needed to flip the short-term trend bullish. Beneath the surface, conflicting signals are building. On-chain data shows persistent accumulation (score of 85) with rising RSI lows, even as the price drifts. Meanwhile, 30-day volatility has hit a four-year low of 30% annualized; historically, similar volatility squeezes have preceded average 60-day price swings of 90.5%. Derivatives markets reveal a fragile setup: Open Interest has surged from $366M to $461M while spot liquidity has collapsed, with funding rates turning slightly negative and leverage increasingly short-biased. Fundamentally, XRP ETFs saw an $5.81 million inflow on August 18, bringing total net inflows to over $1.52 billion. **Conclusion:** XRP is poised for a significant breakout. The convergence of extreme low volatility, heavy accumulation, and a leveraged derivatives setup suggests that whichever way the $1 level breaks—up or down—the subsequent move is likely to be sharp and substantial. The direction remains uncertain, but the potential scale of the move is far greater than the current sideways drift implies.

Nexo Launches Regulated Crypto-Backed Lending in Australia

Nexo has launched regulated cryptocurrency-collateralized lending in Australia through its local entity, Nexo Australia. This follows its registration as a credit representative under Australian financial services consumer protection law. The service allows eligible clients to borrow Australian dollars or stablecoins using their cryptocurrency as collateral without selling their assets. Funds are typically available within 24 hours, featuring flexible repayment terms, no fixed maturity, and no origination fees. Interest rates range from 0.9% to 21.9% depending on the credit line and client loyalty tier. Clients can choose between "Smart" and "Standard" credit lines, which differ primarily in interest rates, asset selection, and the handling of collateral if the loan-to-value ratio rises. Nexo warned that such loans carry risks, including margin calls and potential liquidation of collateral if its value declines. With this launch, Nexo joins a small group of crypto platforms offering regulated crypto-backed lending in Australia. Nexo Australia is registered with the financial crimes watchdog AUSTRAC as a virtual asset service provider and is a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).

Kalshi Seeks Approval to Involve Cryptocurrency Experts in Stock and Copper Trading

Kalshi, a federally regulated exchange, has filed proposals with the CFTC for approval of perpetual futures contracts based on a major US stock index and copper. If approved, these contracts would bring a trading structure popularized in cryptocurrency markets to traditional equities and commodities. Perpetual futures, or "perps," are a dominant force in crypto derivatives trading. They allow leveraged positions to be held indefinitely without expiry, using periodic funding payments to keep the contract price aligned with the underlying asset. While the concept was proposed by economist Robert Shiller in 1993, it gained mainstream traction in crypto. Kalshi's proposed US500 contract would track the MerQube US Large Cap Index. The COPPERPERP contract would measure the current copper price using data from the Pyth network. Both await CFTC sanction under Regulation 40.3 before they can be listed. This move follows the CFTC's approval of Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual contract in May. The exchange now offers perps for 13 cryptocurrencies. Expanding into stocks and metals marks a significant step for Kalshi, known primarily for event contracts, as it aims to become a broader derivatives platform. The initiative raises the question of whether crypto-native trading mechanisms can benefit traditional assets. Coinbase Institutional has suggested that perpetuals, with their constant availability and capital efficiency, could appeal to a new generation of traders and evolve beyond leverage into systems for lending, collateral, and hedging. However, Kalshi's current market share in perps is small compared to larger crypto-native platforms. While its growth post-Bitcoin launch was rapid, its expansion faces regulatory hurdles. CME Group has sued the CFTC over its approval of Kalshi's perpetuals, arguing they should be classified as swaps, not futures. This legal challenge, along with the CFTC's review of the new filings, will ultimately determine if US500 and COPPERPERP come to market.

Wintermute Analysts Name Reasons for Cryptomarket Stagnation

Analysts at Wintermute attribute the stagnation of the crypto market to factors largely external to the industry itself. July's US Consumer Price Index rose 0.1% month-over-month, matching forecasts. Weak retail sales and consumer sentiment data have reduced the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September. Brent crude oil prices surged 7.91% over the week due to escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, with a dramatic drop in weekend vessel traffic. Wintermute warns that further oil price increases could accelerate US inflation in August, potentially giving the Fed grounds to maintain a tight monetary policy. Additionally, pressure on major cryptocurrencies comes from mining companies like Riot Platforms selling significant Bitcoin reserves—4,300 BTC in Q2 following 3,778 BTC in Q1. Facing record-high hash rates, some miners' costs now exceed mining revenue, forcing them to liquidate holdings to cover expenses and fund new ventures, including AI infrastructure. For a positive market reversal, Wintermute analysts state that capital must return not only to spot Bitcoin ETFs but also to other segments of the crypto market. Their view aligns with earlier reports from QCP Capital, which cited Middle East tensions, US inflation risks, and AI industry uncertainty as key market pressures.
