Introduzione

The payments firm will now be able to offer certain crypto services and advertise to local clients.

Payments giant PayPal has successfully registered with the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority as a crypto service provider, the regulator's website shows.

Paypal UK Limited, which was entered into the registry on Tuesday, is permitted to engage in "certain cryptoasset activities." Companies offering crypto services in the U.K. must be approved for registration and comply with the FCA's anti-money laundering rules.

Landing on the register, which opened in 2020, means PayPal can also approve its own crypto-related communications under the recently imposed marketing regime. In August, PayPal announced that it was temporarily pausing crypto purchases in the country to comply with the regime.

Bitcoin ETFs Reduce Outflows Amid 7-Day Inflow Streak in 2026

American spot Bitcoin ETFs have extended their streak of net inflows to seven consecutive trading days, attracting $314.37 million on Tuesday. This seven-day series has pushed August's total inflows to $3.03 billion, putting the funds just $390 million short of October 2025's record with four trading sessions remaining. August is likely to become their strongest month of the period. This recovery has more than halved the year-to-date net outflow, reducing it to $2.26 billion. Total net assets have reached $99.05 billion, with cumulative net inflows at $54.36 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded around $78,880, down 2% in 24 hours after briefly surpassing $80,000 on Tuesday. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell from 74 to 65 but remains in the "Greed" zone. Additionally, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs also extended their inflow streak to seven days, adding $179.8 million on Tuesday for a period total of approximately $1 billion.

Bitcoin Holds $79,000, Ethereum and Solana Decline as Traders Lock in Weekly Gains

Bitcoin held around $79,000, down nearly 1%, as traders took profits after a 23% weekly surge. Other major cryptocurrencies declined, with XRP falling over 4% but still leading weekly gains at nearly 45%. Zcash dropped nearly 6%, keeping a 55% weekly increase. Ethereum and Solana fell over 1% and 3%, respectively, but retained strong weekly advances of 29% and nearly 16%. CryptoQuant's Bull Score jumped from 30 to 80, its highest since October 2025, with 8 of 10 indicators now signaling a bull trend. Visible spot demand is growing at the fastest monthly pace since late December, with spot and futures demand rising simultaneously for the first time since early October 2025. In contrast, equities moved higher. The MSCI Asia Pacific index rose 1%, supported by Samsung and SK Hynix, while Nvidia snapped a 7-day losing streak ahead of earnings. Market focus shifts to Q2 GDP data, July PCE inflation figures, and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's keynote at Jackson Hole. Markets price about a 60% chance the Fed holds rates steady in September.

Wintermute Analysts Outline Conditions for Continued Bitcoin Growth

Analysts from Wintermute have outlined the conditions needed for Bitcoin's rally to continue. Bitcoin recently broke out of a six-week period of stagnation, climbing to $79,300. This rise was accelerated by the U.S. Treasury Department's promise to increase long-term bond buybacks and a large number of trader bets against the asset's price. Wintermute believes the period of low volatility is over, though a quick pullback to recently tested levels is possible. Experts at the market maker compared the current situation to May, noting that while price levels were similar back then, inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs are now significantly stronger. They view these higher ETF inflows as a sign of sustained demand from large investors. In the futures and options markets, traders are also anticipating sharper price swings, with the seven-day volatility indicator exceeding 40%. Funding rates remain positive but are not at extreme highs. Wintermute assesses that market participants are gradually beginning to use leverage again following a recent wave of position liquidations. Looking ahead, Wintermute specialists believe near-term market dynamics could be influenced by chipmaker Nvidia's earnings report, U.S. economic statistics, and a scheduled speech by former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh on August 28th. In related news, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently stated that Bitcoin could be worth several times its current price of around $75,000 by 2030, citing potential U.S. regulatory changes as a key growth factor.

Network for Bypassing Sanctions and Financing Terrorism via Cryptocurrency Exchange Account Uncovered in Ukraine

The Ukrainian State Financial Monitoring Service has uncovered a network using a cryptocurrency exchange account to evade sanctions against Russia and finance terrorism, according to the agency's head, Filip Pronin. Approximately $13 million transited through the account of a Ukrainian citizen residing in the EU. Of this amount, $3.5 million is linked to sanctioned services in Russia and accounts affiliated with an unspecified international terrorist organization. The account showed no signs of trading or investment and was allegedly used solely for money laundering and transfers. Funds entered the account from external, unverified crypto wallets, exchanges, and services before being sent to non-custodial wallets of entities connected to Russia and Iran, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The account owner reportedly used tools like VPNs to conceal illicit activities. The agency asserts the individual is linked to 35 organizations across multiple jurisdictions, indicating a potential cross-border money laundering and sanctions evasion network. The case materials have been handed over to law enforcement for further investigation.

Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s retrial delayed to April 2027

The retrial of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has been delayed from October 2026 to April 2027. A federal judge agreed to postpone the proceedings while considering Storm's motion for acquittal. His legal team requested the delay, citing the need for preparation time after the court rules on the acquittal motion, while prosecutors opposed the adjournment. In March, prosecutors sought an October retrial on two charges—conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate sanctions—after a previous jury deadlocked on them. However, in August 2025, a Manhattan jury did convict Storm of conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business, which carries a potential five-year sentence. Storm has since filed for acquittal on all three charges, arguing the government failed to prove he intended to facilitate criminal use of the Tornado Cash privacy tool. The developer stated his acquittal motion remains pending, expressing uncertainty about the case's conclusion.
