SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to ‘insured’ token


The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called “insured” crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

In a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC alleged that Basile ran the scheme between March and December 2021 through Monsoon Blockchain Corp. and GIBF GP Inc., offering investors Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) that promised future delivery of the token, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Regulators said hundreds of investors were told the asset was backed and insured, but the SEC alleged no insurance company ever provided coverage or any proof that these claims were true, per the report.

The case marks one of the few SEC enforcement actions under the Trump administration, which has signaled a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance compared to previous administrations.

The SEC said Basile repeatedly represented that Bitcoin Latinum was an insured, asset-backed cryptocurrency and that investor funds would help support its underlying value. Instead, the complaint alleges, millions of dollars were diverted to personal spending, including real estate purchases, credit card payments and the acquisition of a $160,000 horse.

The regulator is seeking permanent injunctions, repayment of allegedly ill-gotten gains with interest, civil penalties, and a ban on Basile’s participation in securities offerings, according to the WSJ. It also wants an officer-and-director bar preventing him from leading public companies in the future.

Bullish Heikin Ashi Candles Have Emerged on XRP Weekly Chart
Technical signals continue to draw attention to XRP, with analysts pointing to a shift in momentum after months of uneven price action.


CryptoQuant-verified analyst CW has identified the appearance of bullish candles on XRP’s weekly chart, suggesting that the market could be entering a new phase dominated by green candles.

Notably, XRP has been in a bear market for the last nine months, during which its price has dipped by over 60% from $3.66.

Key Points

CryptoQuant analyst CW spots bullish weekly Heikin Ashi candles on XRP, signaling momentum shift after bear market.

Heikin Ashi shows green weekly candles as XRP gains 10%, hitting a four-week high of $1.50.

CW calls current XRP setup a “starting line”, hinting trend continuation if history repeats and macro eases.

Bitcoin hits $78K as XRP leads the majors, with analysts eyeing a $5 target.

Will Bitcoin’s Major Rally Continue? Here’s What the Experts Say

Cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment assessed Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent rise to the $77,000 level and the overall market sentiment.

Santiment, an analytics company that closely tracks Bitcoin’s price movements, examined Bitcoin’s rise to the $77,000 level in its latest market assessment. Despite the price increase, the prevailing skeptical approach among investors is noteworthy.

According to the analysis, Bitcoin’s push to new highs hasn’t generated as much enthusiasm in the market as expected. On the contrary, many traders are skeptical about the sustainability of this rise. Santiment notes that this skeptical atmosphere in the market could actually create a healthy foundation for the continuation of the rally.

The question of “Has the bottom been reached?” remains a major topic of discussion among market participants. Santiment experts state that conversations on social media platforms and on-chain data indicate that investors are still expecting a major correction. Historically, periods of skepticism often coincide with phases of sustained price increases.

It is noted that the continued low supply of Bitcoin on exchanges is reducing selling pressure. In particular, the fact that whales are not aggressively selling at current levels is interpreted as a signal that long-term confidence is being maintained.

According to Santiment, this “skepticism” that emerged during Bitcoin’s $77,000 rally indicates that the market hasn’t overheated yet. If this cautious stance continues among investors instead of FOMO (fear of missing out), Bitcoin’s potential to test higher levels could strengthen.

The crypto market witnessed a strong surge as Bitcoin pushed above the $76,000–$78,000 zone, driven by improving global sentiment and easing geopolitical tensions. This breakout has opened the door for a potential continuation toward higher resistance levels, with bulls attempting to maintain control of the trend.

Bitcoin’s structure currently reflects strength, supported by an upward-sloping 20-day EMA and an RSI approaching overbought territory. A sustained move above $76,000 could confirm a bullish ascending triangle pattern, setting up a potential rally toward $84,000 and possibly extending to $92,000. However, failure to hold above key support levels may result in a pullback toward the lower boundary of the pattern.

Ether is also showing resilience, holding firmly above its short-term support near $2,235. Continued strength above the $2,415 resistance level could drive the price toward $2,800 and eventually $3,050. This would confirm a broader recovery structure, but a sharp rejection could still invalidate the bullish outlook in the short term.

XRP has started to regain momentum after reclaiming its 50-day moving average. With improving RSI and upward pressure building, the price may attempt to challenge the descending resistance trendline. A successful breakout could indicate a shift in trend, while failure may lead to a retest of lower support levels around $1.27.

BNB is showing signs of reduced selling pressure after moving above key averages. If buyers maintain control, the price may push toward $687, and a breakout above that level could extend the rally toward $730 and $790. On the downside, failure to hold current levels could keep the price ranging between $570

Wrapped XRP goes live on Solana, broadening DeFi access for Ripple-linked token


Wrapped $XRP went live on Solana on Friday, issued by custodian Hex Trust and bridged through LayerZero, making the token available inside Solana's DeFi apps for the first time.

$XRP holders can now use the wrapped asset on Jupiter, Phantom, Titan Exchange, and Meteora without selling their underlying position.

Each wXRP is backed 1:1 by native $XRP held in segregated custody accounts and is redeemable at any time, according to Hex Trust.

The Solana launch is one leg of a broader rollout Hex Trust disclosed in December 2025, which also targets Ethereum, Optimism, and HyperEVM. The move fits a pattern that has accelerated through 2025 and 2026, where tokens that started their life on one chain are being bridged to others to capture yield and liquidity that did not exist at launch.

$XRP has historically functioned as a payment-rail token settled directly on the $XRP Ledger. Solana has built the opposite use case, a throughput-optimized smart contract platform where the DeFi and memecoin activity actually lives.

The piece of infrastructure underneath this deal is LayerZero, the cross-chain messaging protocol that has quietly won most of the bridge volume that used to flow through Wormhole, Nomad, and Ronin before those protocols were exploited for more than $1 billion combined between 2022 and 2024.

Whether $XRP generates meaningful DeFi volume on Solana is a separate question. The wrapped asset is live, but the test is whether holders actually use it.
