UBS Analysts Have Stated That They Expect the Fed to Cut Interest Rates Twice More This YearGlobal financial giant UBS has published a noteworthy assessment of US monetary policy. The bank stated that it maintains its expectation that the Fed will cut interest rates later in the year.
A research note published by UBS emphasized that the Fed remains on a path of monetary policy easing under the current outlook. The report highlighted that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has recently indicated that the need for tightening is limited despite the rise in energy prices. It recalled Powell’s statement that supply shocks, particularly those like rising oil prices, are generally ignored as long as inflation expectations remain under control

Fake Ledger Wallet Exposed With Hidden Chip Stealing Seed Phrases and PINs
A cybersecurity researcher from Brazil exposed a large-scale scam operation after buying a “Ledger” hardware wallet from a Chinese marketplace listing that looked legitimate and was priced the same as the official store. The packaging appeared original from a distance, but the device was counterfeit.

When the researcher connected it to Ledger Live installed from ledger.com, it failed the Genuine Check, confirming it was not a real Ledger device. This failure led the researcher to open the device and examine its internal hardware and firmware

Chainalysis Details 'Shadow Crypto Economy' Exposure as Grinex Suspends Operations

Grinex’s shutdown is intensifying scrutiny of crypto laundering tactics, as fund movements suggest behavior inconsistent with typical enforcement actions. Chainalysis analysis highlights patterns that raise questions about whether the activity aligns with a conventional external hack or alternative explanations.

Key Takeaways:

Chainalysis flags Grinex swaps as inconsistent with typical law enforcement seizures.

Tron-based conversions show illicit actors avoiding stablecoin issuer intervention.

Grinex activity does not clearly align with patterns of a conventional external hack.

Grinex Shutdown Raises Questions About Crypto Laundering Tactics

Sanctions pressure continues to test the resilience of crypto networks tied to restricted financial activity. Blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis on April 17 examined Grinex after the sanctioned exchange suspended operations. The review described the shutdown as a new stress point for infrastructure tied to sanctions evasion.

Grinex claimed a cyberattack cost about 1 billion rubles, or $13.7 million, and published the source and destination addresses involved. Chainalysis then assessed the transfers using on-chain data rather than relying on the exchange’s narrative. The analysis found that the stolen assets were mainly a fiat-backed stablecoin before being moved through a Tron-based decentralized exchange into TRX.

“In the case of the alleged Grinex hack, the stablecoin funds were quickly swapped for a non-freezable token, thereby avoiding the risk of having the stablecoins frozen by the issuer,” the blockchain analytics firm stated, adding:

“This frantic swapping from stablecoins to more decentralized tokens is a hallmark tactic of cybercriminals and illicit actors attempting to launder funds before a centralized freeze can be executed.”

Chainalysis argued that this behavior does not fit a typical

Related Reading: X Money's Crypto Ambitions Draw Fire From Senator Over Security FearsAuthorities Hold McCann Pending AutopsyTanzanian police are questioning McCann, founder of the crypto hedge fund Asymmetric, after his fiancée, Ashly Robinson, 31, died on April 9 at a hospital in Zanzibar. Robinson had been rushed there after hotel staff found her unresponsive in her room the day before. Based on reports from NBC News and CBS News, police have ruled her death a suicide but they are holding McCann's passport while they await the results of a formal autopsy. The couple had been staying at the same hotel when a dispute arose between them. Officials said the two were separated and moved to different rooms following what police described as a "misunderstanding." Staff later found Robinson in her room with a belt around her neck.McCann has not commented publicly. He could not be reached for comment. Ashly Robinson, right, with her sister, Alyssa Endres.

According to the family, Robinson had recently celebrated her 31st birthday and her engagement to McCann both of which had happened just days before her death. Endres described her sister as happy at the time. Robinson, who went by the name Ashlee Jenae on social media, posted her last photo April 5, showing her feeding a giraffe while she celebrated her birthday. The family's challenge to the police ruling adds another layer of uncertainty to a case that is already far from closed.

«Узкое место» — предупреждение Coinbase о биткоин-ETF на 77 миллиардов долларов потрясло рынки

Инвесторы в биткоин внезапно столкнулись с неприятной математической проблемой на американском рынке биткоин-ETF объемом 91,7 миллиарда долларов.

«Coinbase Custody владеет 84% всех активов биткоин-ETF на американском рынке», — написал Марк Бауманн, основатель исследовательской фирмы fiftyonexyz, на X 14 апреля. «Это 77 миллиардов долларов, находящихся в распоряжении одного хранителя. Для отрасли, построенной на децентрализации, важнейшая категория продуктов не будет иметь…»

Предупреждение появилось на фоне того, что биткоин торгуется около 77 000 долларов, восстановившись после 40-процентного падения с пика конца 2025 года около 126 000 долларов. Это произошло спустя три недели после условного одобрения 2 апреля Управлением контролера денежного обращения (OCC) устава национального трастового банка для Coinbase. «OCC предоставляет Coinbase условное одобрение устава национального трастового банка», — сообщила швейцарская юридическая фирма Goldblum & Partners на X 13 апреля, отметив, что «11 криптофирм теперь находятся в процессе получения федерального банковского аккредитации» и что новое правило, 12 CFR 5.20, «явно разрешает неявно предоставлять услуги хранения криптовалютных активов». Это регуляторное одобрение, как ни странно, углубляет концентрацию, на которую теперь указывают аналитики.

Сама цифра стала новым лозунгом скептиков в отношении структуры биткоина. CryptoSlate впервые сформулировал эту цифру 12 апреля как «более 80% активов Bitcoin ETF достигли критической точки хранения Coinbase, при этом под угрозой находятся 74 миллиарда долларов». В течение 48 часов эта формулировка распространилась по крипто-медиа и аналитическим форумам.


«Более 80% активов Bitcoin ETF сейчас находятся на хранении в Coinbase. Это примерно 74 миллиарда долларов, скон

Brent jumped, DXY rose, and Bitcoin rolled over. XRP followed the pressure lower through the week, even though its long-term pitch should, in theory, become more relevant as global money flows grow more expensive and more fragile.

That contradiction is the center of the setup. XRP rallied for much of this cycle on the idea that Ripple’s regulated expansion, enterprise positioning, and capital-market traction were building a more durable floor under the token.

Asian equities are on track for a second consecutive week of strong gains as easing tensions in the Middle East push oil prices further below the $100-per-barrel threshold. Investors are growing increasingly optimistic about a potential resolution to the ongoing conflict, despite the Strait of Hormuz — a critical artery for roughly one-fifth of global oil and gas supply — remaining closed.Diplomatic progress has been moving quickly. A 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel took hold on Thursday, while President Donald Trump indicated that a fresh round of U.S.-Iran negotiations could take place as early as this weekend. The news sent Brent crude futures down over 1% to $98.14 a barrel, with West Texas Intermediate dropping 1.6% to $93.15.Equity markets have responded positively. MSCI's broadest Asia-Pacific index outside Japan edged down 0.6% on the day but is still up 14.5% for April alone, recovering most of the 13.5% it shed in March when the Iran conflict erupted. Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.9% after touching a record high the previous session. On Wall Street, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs for the second straight day, buoyed by solid corporate earnings.However, some market veterans are urging caution. Andrew Chorlton, CIO for public fixed income at M&G, noted a striking gap between what central bankers are signaling and what financial markets appear to be pricing in, describing the current investor mood as "somewhat complacent." ATFX Global's Nick Twidale echoed this view, warning that a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is necessary before any sustained market rally can be trusted.Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index hovered near its lowest level since early March, with the euro climbing toward a seven-week high and the risk-sensitive Australian dollar approaching a four-year peak.

Morpho price rallied to nearly $2 for the first time this year as a wave of institutional interest and new protocol upgrades lifted demand for the token. Summary Morpho price jumped over 12% to a year

Morpho price rallied to nearly $2 for the first time this year as a wave of institutional interest and new protocol upgrades lifted demand for the token. Summary Morpho price jumped over 12% to a yearly high near $2, driven by rising institutional demand and protocol expansion. Fireblocks integration opened access to 2,400+ institutional clients, creating a major liquidity pipeline into Morpho vaults. New products like Morpho Midnight and growing RWA adoption, along with backing from Apollo and the Ethereum Foundation, boosted confidence. According to data from crypto.news, Morpho (MORPHO) price climbed more than 12% to an intraday high of $1.94 on Friday before easing slightly to $1.93 at press time, marking its strongest level so far this year. There are four key reasons behind the latest move. First, Morpho's integration with Fireblocks has unlocked a fresh stream of institutional capital. The company rolled out its Earn product on April 15, giving over 2,400 clients the ability to allocate idle stablecoins into Morpho vaults. Given that Fireblocks processes more than $200 billion in monthly stablecoin volume, the tie-up creates a meaningful channel for liquidity to flow into the protocol. Second, Morpho has widened its offering with the launch of Morpho Midnight, a lending system built around fixed rates and fixed durations. The product is geared toward traditional finance players who rely on predictable returns, which could help Morpho gain traction as backend infrastructure for credit markets.
