🔴 FSB placed Pavel Durov under international arrest warrant

The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has been placed under international arrest warrant for aiding terrorism, report media citing the Russian FSB.

According to the FSB, Ukrainian special services allegedly used Telegram chat bots to recruit Russian citizens. The agency claims that the Telegram administration did not remove the service after it was added to the registry of banned resources, which became the basis for the charges.

At the time of publication, no official comments from Pavel Durov had been received.

🌕 CZ-owned Trust Wallet launches AI agents that can execute crypto trades

The digital wallet owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which has more than 220 million customers, said Thursday that users can now employ artificial intelligence-powered agents to perform a variety of crypto transactions.

"Today, Trust Wallet launches the Trust Wallet Agent Kit (TWAK) — infrastructure that lets AI agents execute real crypto transactions, across more than 25 blockchains, within rules that users define and control," the company said in a blog post. The agents can handle cross-chain swaps across several networks, including Solana and Bitcoin, in addition to managing recurring buys.

Crypto firms are increasingly experimenting with AI-powered automation, aiming to allow users to enlist agents that can actively manage portfolios and execute trades.

The new toolkit offers two ways to operate, one where the AI agent has its own wallet and can execute trades automatically based on set rules, and the other where it suggests transactions that users then need to approve.

"Trust Wallet has always been built on a single principle: your keys, your crypto. TWAK extends that principle into the age of AI agents," also according to the blog post. "With WalletConnect mode, an AI can help you act on your portfolio — research, propose, execute — without ever holding your keys. You stay in control."

While the cryptocurrency exchange initially bought Trust Wallet in 2018, it now operates as an independent company.

📊 Bitcoin and Ether Trigger a Short Squeeze — Weekly Recap

Last week, the crypto market posted its strongest growth in several months. The rally was driven by the convergence of three factors: intervention by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, regulatory changes, and a massive short squeeze that wiped out bearish positions in $BTC and $ETH .

Meanwhile, banks and tech companies continue to deepen their involvement in stablecoins. Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) is exploring paying creators in stablecoins.

🪙 XRP Sees Record-Breaking 130% Volume Spike Amid Bull Run Strengthening

The price of XRP increased by about 17% over the course of a day, and trading volume increased by well over 100% on a number of significant exchanges, making it one of the strongest trading sessions in months.

🔸 XRP breaks the key threshold

The combination implies that significant market participation, as opposed to thin liquidity, is supporting the most recent move. After beginning its acceleration at $1.15, XRP reached about $1.40 during the session. Spot volume was close to $3 billion, while futures volume reached about $13 billion.

Even more significant shifts were seen on individual exchanges: Bitget's volume increased by 134%, Bybit's by 141%, OKX's by 146%, and Binance's by roughly 114%. The breakout has significantly altered XRP's short-term structure technically. After successfully regaining the moving averages between $1.04 and $1.16, the asset attacked the long-term moving average around $1.34.

🔸 Is XRP overbought already?

The daily RSI has surged to about 82, which is well within overbought territory. That greatly raises the likelihood of short-term volatility and profit-taking, but it does not necessarily indicate an impending reversal, especially during a high-volume breakout. Positioning in derivatives is also important. Binance's long/short account ratios are roughly 2.76, while top traders' ratios are about 2.83.

These ratios are significantly skewed toward longs. If momentum abruptly stops, crowded positioning may intensify the correction. The previous consolidation area, which is located between $1.45 and $1.50, comes after the next resistance, which is located around $1.40. The bull-run argument could be significantly strengthened by a clear continuation through those levels.

$1.7 billion in shorts was liquidated in the last 4 hours – this is the second largest short squeeze in crypto history🎓

📈 $BTC is already above $68k, and the total market capitalization has grown by $160 billion in this context.

The cause of this movement was a statement from the US Treasury about increasing the pace of bond buybacks from the market, which may be a hint at market liquidity saturation.

#Crypto

📈 Why Did BTC Rise? The Key Trigger for the Move Was a News Release from the US Treasury.

What happened:

🟢 The US Treasury announced an increase in the volume of long-term government bond buybacks.

🟢 Against this backdrop, bond yields dropped sharply.

🟢 Pressure on the dollar eased, and investors began returning to risk assets.

🟢 BTC broke through the $65–66k zone. Following the breakout, a massive short squeeze began.

🟢 Forced liquidations of shorts further accelerated the move toward $69k.

🟢 The White House crypto summit and expectations of softer regulation of the industry in the US remain additional positive factors.

🔼 Here is the chain: Bond buybacks → falling yields → risk-on → BTC breakout → short liquidations → impulse to $69,000.

🕯 Now the main question is whether BTC can hold above the $66–67k zone after the short squeeze is over. If so, the move may continue. I will keep you updated.

💰 Ethereum

Currently, the price is moving according to the scenario outlined in the previous analysis. Considering the overall situation in the cryptocurrency market, my outlook has shifted towards the formation of a global correction, rather than a local one.

The first target for an upward correction is 2400.00, and the second is 3150.00. The trend is downward, so the priority is a decline to 1000.00.

💥 -1.2 Billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) Burned in 24 Hours Is Not Bullish Enough

Shiba Inu's exchange netflow metric, which is currently at 62.15 billion SHIB and has changed by about 1.27 percent over the last 24 hours, indicates that the token is experiencing another surge in exchange-related activity. This corresponds to a change of about 1.2 billion SHIB.

🔸 Shiba Inu's scale isn't bullish

Even though the amount seems significant on its own, it is still far too small to significantly alter SHIB's current market structure. The scale problem is the first issue. Because of Shiba Inu's massive circulating supply, transactions involving one or two billion tokens make up only a very small portion of the total SHIB supply.

The accompanying data shows that there are approximately 999.98 trillion tokens in total supply. This is further illustrated by exchange reserves. There are still about 87.33 trillion SHIB on exchanges. In comparison, a daily change of 1.2 billion tokens is practically insignificant and unlikely to result in a significant supply shock. There is also variation in other exchange metrics.

Over the course of a day, exchange reserves grew by about 0.07%, while the seven-day moving average of mean exchange inflows increased by 4.16%. Although exchange movements do not always indicate that holders intend to sell, rising inflows can generate more potential sell-side liquidity because more tokens become available on trading platforms.

🔸 Network activity is coming back

Activity on the network is marginally improving. The number of active sending addresses increased by about 1%, the total number of transactions increased by 1.1%, and the mean number of transfers increased by about 1.12%.

The price chart clearly illustrates that. SHIB is trading close to its short-term moving averages at $0.00000450, but it is still far below the 100-day average at $0.000492. At roughly $0.00000581, the 200-day moving average is still much higher.

🟠 Binance Founder CZ Warned Users About the Recent Hacking Incident

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) warned that a data breach at hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor’s logistics service provider could pose serious security risks for cryptocurrency investors.

CZ stated that approximately 13,700 customers were affected by the data breach at Trezor’s shipping provider. It was reported that around 11,700 users had their personal information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and delivery addresses, exposed.

CZ, while emphasizing that Trezor’s own systems or users’ private keys were not compromised, pointed out that the leaked data created a different risk. According to CZ, the fact that individuals’ identity and physical address information can be directly linked to information about their cryptocurrency ownership poses a significant risk in terms of phishing attacks, social engineering attempts, and even physical security threats.

CZ stated in his post, “Not a very good month for hardware wallets,” adding that the incident once again demonstrated that hardware wallets and software-based self-custody wallets have different security profiles.

Trezor stated that the incident did not directly affect the company’s wallet infrastructure or user funds. However, users whose personal data was leaked may need to be more cautious against fake emails, phone calls, and targeted scam attempts impersonating Trezor or other crypto companies.

⚪️ Nasdaq-Listed Giant’s Ethereum Adventure Lasted Only One Year! All ETH Sold, Investment to Be Made in This Area!

According to The Block, FG Nexus (FGNX) has divested all of its Ethereum assets, according to its latest SEC filing.

US-based digital asset treasury company FG Nexus has completely exited its Ethereum (ETH) focused treasury strategy, which it launched approximately a year ago.

In a recent filing with the SEC, the company announced that it will sell all of its ETH and wrapped staked ETH (wstETH) assets as of June 30, 2026.

According to the company’s latest quarterly report to the SEC, FG Nexus incurred a loss of $45.207 million from its digital asset operations in the first half of 2026. Of this amount, $41.167 million was due to losses on ETH investments.

🔸 Their Assets Had Exceeded 50,000 ETH !

After FG Nexus decided to make Ethereum its primary treasury asset in 2025, the company’s ETH holdings peaked at 50,770 ETH in September 2025.

However, following the collapse that began in October 2025, the company rapidly reduced its position in the first half of 2026, and completely exited its ETH position by the end of June. At this point, the company added that it planned to redirect the capital obtained from the sale of ETH to cash-generating real estate investments.

🪙 XRP Highly Likely to Retest $1 This August: Kalshi

Although XRP has briefly flipped to the green side of the market after multiple days of extreme volatility, it has plunged back to levels not seen this month.

Following this heavy price decline, sentiment is increasingly flipping bearish and traders are gradually losing confidence in its recovery over the short term.

🔸 Kalshi traders turn bearish

Following the massive slowdown in its price, traders are predicting XRP could be heading for another test of the $1 level this month, per the latest data provided on crypto prediction market Kalshi.

The bearish sentiment is coming as traders appear to be increasingly exercising caution after XRP fell to its previous low of around $1.02.

Notably, the latest predictions on the platform regarding how low XRP could fall in August show that traders are betting on a possible retest of the $1 price level.

While the prediction market further recorded a trading volume of about $13,374, it appears that traders are actively placing bets on XRP's potential downside in August.

🔸 What is XRP saying?

It appears that the bearish predictions from traders regarding XRP's potential downward trajectory have been largely fueled by its recent price movement, which remained consistently in red territory for a long period.

However, XRP is beginning to print a different signal as its price is showing a decent recovery from the downtrend, with market analysts suggesting that traders are becoming exhausted.

As of the time of writing, XRP is showing a decent price gain of about 1.61% over the last 24 hours. If it is able to hold the positive momentum, the asset will be able to hedge against negative predictions from traders.
