Власти Германии закрыли сеть из 13 криптоматов

cryptonews.ru2024-06-21 tarihinde yayınlandı2024-08-21 tarihinde güncellendi

Полиция Германии, сотрудники Deutsche Bundesbank и Федерального управления финансового надзора Германии (BaFin) провели совместную операцию, прекратив деятельность сети из 13 криптоматов, «установленных в местах общего пользования без необходимых разрешений регулирующего ведомства».

Создателей сети заподозрили в незаконном обороте и отмывании денежных средств. Теперь им грозит суд и до пяти лет тюрьмы.

Из криптоматов, «в местах автоматизированой торговли цифровыми активами», было конфисковано около 250 000 евро ($280 000) наличными. Рейды проводились одновременно в 35 точках по всей Германии.

«Обмен евро на криптовалюты и наоборот является вопросом коммерческой торговли или банковской транзакции и, в соответствии с законом о банковской деятельности, требует прямого разрешения BaFin», — объяснил регулятор.

Ранее расследующие киберпреступления правоохранительные органы США заявили, что растущая сеть криптоматов становится частью схемы по отмыванию преступных доходов криминальных групп. Детективы сочли предпосылкой к этому пробелы в национальных правилах регулирования крипторынка, которые позволяют преступниками отмывать через нелегальную сеть криптоматов деньги, полученные от торговли наркотиками и прочих незаконных действий.

XRP Holds The $1 Line As Altcoin Traders Wait For Direction

XRP is trading around $1.06, holding the psychologically important $1 support level while the broader cryptocurrency market awaits direction. This level is not technically significant but matters as a key sentiment gauge watched by traders. Maintaining above $1 keeps bullish hopes alive, while a sustained break below could damage sentiment and trigger further declines. Currently, XRP is not leading the market but surviving it, acting as a patient trade in a cautious environment. Its ability to hold this level depends on broader market stability and whether buyers can actively push the price higher, turning the psychological floor into a real base for recovery.

Bitcoin may not be done capitulating – Why a $50K bottom is still in play

Bitcoin faces potential further downside toward $50,000 despite long-term holder (LTH) resilience. Currently, LTHs control a record 78% of supply and are accumulating rather than selling during the downturn, diverging from historical capitulation patterns seen at market bottoms. However, with BTC posting seven consecutive monthly losses—short of the nine that marked prior cycle bottoms in 2018 and 2022—the capitulation phase may not be over. Shifting macroeconomic expectations, with markets pricing in potential Fed rate hikes instead of cuts, add pressure. If history repeats, LTH capitulation could trigger a final washout, driving Bitcoin toward $50,000 by Q3's end before a durable bottom forms.

MSTR Discloses Sale of 3,588 Bitcoins, Stock Price Drops Over 5% at One Point During Trading

MicroStrategy, the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has significantly shifted its business model. Between June 29 and July 5, the company sold 3,588 bitcoins for approximately $216 million to fund quarterly dividends for its preferred stock. This marks its largest-ever Bitcoin sale and signals a strategic pivot: Bitcoin is transitioning from a "buy-and-hold" reserve asset to a liquidity management tool for the company. This move follows a recent authorization allowing Bitcoin sales when equity fundraising is less attractive. The announcement contributed to a more than 5% intraday drop in MicroStrategy's stock price, while Bitcoin fell to around $61,800—below the company's average holding cost of roughly $75,700. The sale represents a major departure from MicroStrategy's long-standing "never sell" commitment, which saw its first minor breach in May with a $2.5 million sale. The latest, hundred-times-larger transaction underscores growing financial pressures. Analysts note the company faces about $1.5 billion in annual preferred dividend obligations, far exceeding cash flow from its software business. As of July 5, MicroStrategy holds 843,775 bitcoins. Its current operational logic involves buying Bitcoin during favorable financing conditions and selling portions to cover dividends when needed, creating a flexible capital management cycle amidst a challenging market environment.

BUILDon: Can B hold 12% price gains while facing THIS hurdle

BUILDon (B) surged 12% in the past day, driven by bullish sentiment and positive, yet mild, funding rates in the perpetual market. Open Interest rose to $27.34 million, indicating sustained but not overheated long positioning. However, technical analysis presents significant hurdles: a death cross formation and repeated rejection at the 200-day SMA resistance threaten a pullback toward $0.21 support. Furthermore, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) indicators have turned negative, signaling growing underlying selling pressure. The rally's sustainability now hinges on whether elevated trading volume can overcome these bearish technical signals or if the resistance and weakening momentum will trigger a downturn.

Q-Day Countdown: Will Quantum Computing End Cryptocurrencies?

Quantum Computing's Threat to Cryptocurrency: A Countdown to Q-Day Quantum computing, specifically Shor's algorithm, poses a fundamental threat to the public-key cryptography (e.g., ECDSA, RSA) that secures blockchain networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This critical juncture, known as Q-Day, is estimated to occur potentially within the next 5-15 years. The core vulnerability stems from the public and immutable nature of blockchains. Assets in addresses where the public key is already exposed on-chain (e.g., spent outputs) are at direct risk, as a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive the private key. This threatens the very trust model of cryptocurrencies. The response lies in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)—algorithms like lattice-based ML-DSA and hash-based SLH-DSA, which are resistant to quantum attacks. NIST has standardized key PQC algorithms (FIPS 203, 204, 205), providing a migration path. However, the primary challenge is not technical but socio-economic and involves complex governance: * **Bitcoin's** path is constrained by its conservative ethos. Migrating requires a soft-fork to new address types, facing hurdles like significantly larger signature sizes and, most critically, the divisive governance question of how to handle at-risk legacy UTXOs without violating core principles. * **Ethereum** is pursuing a "cryptographic agility" strategy, with a multi-layered roadmap. It leverages account abstraction for user accounts and is developing compressed hash-based signatures (e.g., leanXMSS) for its consensus layer, aiming for a full-stack upgrade over time. In conclusion, quantum computing does not spell an instant end for cryptocurrency but initiates a critical countdown. The industry has a limited "engineering comfort window" to orchestrate a coordinated, ecosystem-wide migration to PQC. The ultimate bottlenecks are the immense coordination efforts and governance decisions required for this foundational transition.
