Market Updates: France Moves to Curb Crypto "Wrench Attacks"; Meta-1 Scam Operator Receives 23-Year Jail Term; Tether Commits $150M to Drift Recovery

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.

The US-based crypto exchange Coinbase has added two little-known crypto assets to its listing roadmap.The exchange says it’s considering adding Diem (DIEM) and Opengradient (OPG) to its platform for spot trading.“The launch of trading for these assets is contingent on market-making support, and sufficient technical infrastructure. We will announce the launch of trading separately once these conditions have been met.”DIEM is an ERC-20 token on the Base blockchain from Venice.ai. The coin is designed to tokenize AI compute as an onchain asset, with each token representing $1 per day of renewable, never-expiring access to Venice’s AI models and API capacity.Meanwhile, Opengradient’s OPG is the native token of a decentralized network built for verifiable on-chain AI inference, designed to pay for model executions, stake for security and rewards and govern the protocol.Roadmap inclusion signals that the assets have entered Coinbase’s formal review process. It does not guarantee they will eventually trade on the platform.Generated Image: Midjourney

XRP Price Volatility Falls to Multi-Year Lows, Setting Up a Potential Major Move

XRP price is trading just above $1.40, pinned in a $1.30–$1.45 range with almost nothing happening – and that’s exactly what makes this setup worth watching.

The asset’s 30-day Realized Volatility Index has collapsed to approximately 0.42, its lowest reading since 2024, a quantifiable compression that historically precedes sharp directional moves rather than continued silence.

The price sounds stable until you frame it against where XRP came from. After peaking above $3.00 in mid-2025, a sequence of lower highs and lower lows defined the following months, culminating in a capitulation event in early February 2026, a significant volume spike that flushed weaker hands and reset positioning.

Following the broader market recovery, sentiment appears to be shifting in the XRP market as signs of renewed bullish momentum start to take hold. A growing bullish momentum implies that buyers are gradually stepping back in. However, a key metric suggests a lingering underlying weakness beneath the surface.

The Real State Of The XRP Market

After a period of uncertainty and subdued price action, XRP is gaining bullish traction, drawing closer to reclaiming the $1.50 mark. Even with the newfound strength of the altcoin, certain indicators show the broader market trend still appears to be weak and bearish, creating a layer of uncertainty.

While it may seem bullish, Teddy, a crypto expert, has drawn attention to the XRP Sharpe Ratio, which is offering a sobering view of the XRP market. The key metric is trending in negative territory, indicating that conditions remain in a post-pain phase. What this means is investors are still recovering from earlier drawdowns despite a period of market stabilization.

Following the broader market recovery, sentiment a

XRP Flips $1.44 — Liquidity Grab Sparks Lift-Off Setup

$XRP Flips Resistance Into Support as Liquidity Grab Signals Potential Breakout

After weeks of tight consolidation, $XRP continues to show its breakout capabilities. Market analyst GainMuse notes that this move isn’t random volatility, but a textbook liquidity sweep.

For days, $XRP had been stuck in a narrow channel, repeatedly testing both boundaries without real conviction. This phase now appears to have ended, with the market starting to shift direction decisively.

The real shift is happening as the $1.42–$1.44 range, once a tough resistance zone, continues to flip into support. In technical terms, this kind of reversal often signals that stronger players have stepped in.

Price recently pushed higher, late buyers were drawn in, and this liquidity has been absorbed as the market reset and built a firmer base underneath.

$XRP is trading near $1.44 after a brief pullback from the $1.49 peak, but the broader structure still looks firm. Despite the cooling-off, momentum hasn’t faded, with CoinCodex data showing a 6.76% weekly gain.

More notably, holding above $1.40 is now being seen as a potential shift in market structure rather than just a short-term spike.

Market Eyes $1.70 Breakout Amid Signs of Long-Term Accumulation Structure

$XRP is showing notable strength around its reclaimed zone, holding firm instead of slipping back into its previous range. This resilience hints at dip accumulation rather than distribution, often seen at the early stages of a continuation move.

If this structure persists, $1.70 stands out as the next key resistance. A clean breakout above it, backed by strong volume, could signal the start of a broader upward push.

On higher timeframes, some analysts are eyeing what they call a long-term breakout structure, with $XRP now r

Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko wrapped up a productive two-day visit to Washington, D.C., expressing confidence in U.S. support following high-level talks with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other senior American officials. Her visit coincided with the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.Svyrydenko made clear that preserving and strengthening sanctions against Russia remains a top priority for Ukraine. She pushed back against any effort to ease, waive, or delay the economic pressure placed on Moscow following its full-scale invasion, stating that weakening sanctions would only benefit Russian aggression. Although Washington briefly lifted certain restrictions on Russian oil during recent supply disruptions tied to the Iran conflict, those measures have since been reinstated.In her discussions with Secretary Bessent, Svyrydenko described a constructive and friendly exchange. She noted a noticeable shift in tone compared to previous meetings, saying the overall atmosphere felt more supportive and collaborative than before.On the peace process, Ukraine continues to hold firm on its demand for credible security guarantees before entering any ceasefire agreement. Talks held last month in Florida between U.S. and Ukrainian delegations failed to produce a breakthrough, but Svyrydenko remains hopeful for an eventual resolution — one that includes a comprehensive reconstruction plan and long-term prosperity for the Ukrainian people.Progress was also reported on the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, which recently approved its first project and is on track to greenlight a second in the energy sector. With over 200 applications submitted, both sides are exploring ways to scale up the initiative beyond its initial three-project target.Additionally, Ukraine secured backing from G7 finance ministers and welcomed political shifts in Hungary, raising hopes of unlocking a new round of EU sanctions against Russia and accel

#Bitcoin has long been promised to function as money. In practice, it rarely does.While 99% of transactions are still speculative trading, for as long as bitcoin has been a thing it has been used to skirt governments’ economic controls. Cryptocurrencies are particularly attractive for countries facing sanctions.The Iranian government is considering charging oil tankers for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in cryptocurrency. The reports have excited the bitcoin community with crypto markets jumping slightly in response. “Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions”, an Iranian government spokesperson told the Financial Times.$2 million per ship – in cryptoAccording to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, Iran’s armed forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has accepted payments from ship operators since March, charging up to US$2 million per vessel to transit the strait. Payment can be made not only in bitcoin but also in Chinese yuan or the dollar-pegged “stablecoin” tether.For shipping companies, the details remain unclear. But many ships are unlikely to set sail without assurances of safe passage from the IRGC.The US has taken a hard line. President Donald Trump has accused Iran of extortion and stated that the US would hunt down and intercept any ships in international waters that paid the Iranian tolls.The stalemate is likely to tighten an already narrow choke point. The war has reduced the passage of tankers to a trickle.Practical problemsOur research has examined how individuals and governments facing sanctions use cryptocurrencies as a way to buy and sell oil, raise hard currency and sidestep economic embargoes. Iran is no stranger to crypto shenanigans. Around 4.5% of all bitcoin mining takes place there, allowing the country to purchase imports and bypass US sanctions.Yet implementing a bitcoin-based toll sy
