비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER) 토큰의 프리세일이 오늘 100만 달러를 돌파하며 이 유망한 레이어2 프로젝트의 중요한 이정표를 기록했다.

최근 총 13만 9천 달러 규모의 연속적인 매수세가 특히 주목을 받고 있다. 이는 현재 올해 최고의 프리세일 중 하나를 진행하고 있는 이 프로젝트에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있음을 보여주는 신호로 해석된다.

비트코인(BTC)이 몇 주 전 사상 최고가를 기록한 가운데, 또 다른 상승세가 임박한 것으로 전망된다. 기관 투자자들의 비트코인 매수세가 지속적으로 증가하는 한편, 아크인베스트의 캐시 우드 CEO를 비롯한 주요 인사들이 세계 최대 암호화폐에 대한 강한 매수 의견을 유지하고 있다.

비트코인 관련 프로젝트인 비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)가 최근 주목을 받고 대형 투자자들의 매수세를 끌어들이는 것은 당연한 현상으로 보인다. 해당 프로젝트에 13만 9천 달러라는 거액이 투자된 배경과 실체에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다.

비트코인 하이퍼: 비트코인의 새로운 진화

비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)는 비트코인의 첫 SVM 기반 레이어2(L2) 프로토콜로, 느린 거래 속도와 높은 수수료, 스마트 컨트랙트 및 디앱 지원 부재 등 비트코인($BTC)의 주요 문제점들을 해결하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다.

솔라나 버추얼 머신(SVM)과 탈중앙화된 캐노니컬 브릿지의 강력한 조합으로 구동되는 이 시스템은 비트코인의 강력한 보안성을 유지하면서도 빠르고 저렴하며 구성 가능한 디앱 생성을 가능하게 한다.

L2에서 실행되는 초고속 거래와 L1에서의 추가 보안 결제가 결합된 결과물로 나타났다. 높은 처리량과 낮은 비용의 결제가 가능하며, 느린 속도로 알려진 블록체인에서 거의 정체 현상이 발생하지 않는 것으로 확인됐다.

L2에서 BTC를 래핑된 BTC로 브리징하면 비트코인 하이퍼 생태계에 참여할 수 있으며, 언제든 네이티브 BTC로 출금이 가능해 제약이 없는 것으로 알려졌다.

솔라나 개발자들이 비트코인 상에서 디앱과 스마트 계약을 확장하는 것이 한결 수월해질 전망이다. 이는 그동안 불가능하거나 극도로 어려운 것으로 여겨져 왔던 과제였다.

5단계 로드맵에 따르면 L2가 완전히 구축되는 시점인 2025년 3분기에 메인넷이 출시될 예정이다. 개발자 툴킷과 API, SDK를 포함한 생태계 확장이 4분기에 예정되어 있어, 해당 프로젝트는 올해 가장 유망한 알트코인 중 하나로 부상하고 있다.

$HYPER 토큰 및 프리세일 정보

하이퍼 토큰은 해당 프로젝트의 자체 토큰으로, 모든 거래 및 스마트 계약 수수료에 활용될 수 있다. 이 토큰을 통해 DAO 의사결정과 커뮤니티 제안에 참여할 수 있으며, 특별한 혜택을 받을 수 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 또한 비트코인 하이퍼 네트워크의 보안을 강화하는 동시에 스테이킹을 통해 연간 수익률(APY) 보상을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 전해졌다.

비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)는 현재 공식 프리세일 페이지에서 0.011825달러에 거래되고 있다. 투자자들은 베스트 월렛과 같은 암호화폐 지갑을 프리세일 위젯에 연결한 후, 구매하고자 하는 토큰 수량을 입력하면 된다. 결제는 신용카드나 직불카드로 가능하며, 이더리움($ETH), 테더($USDT), USD 코인($USDC), 바이낸스 코인($BNB) 등 주요 암호화폐로도 구매할 수 있다.

하이퍼 토큰의 연간 스테이킹 수익률이 727%를 기록하고 있다. 현재까지 투자자들이 스테이킹한 하이퍼 토큰은 7,210만 개를 넘어섰으며, 이 수치는 시간이 지날수록 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다.

하이퍼 토큰의 총 발행량은 210억 개로, 이 중 30%가 개발 자금으로 할당된 것으로 알려졌다. 이러한 자금 배분 구조를 바탕으로 해당 프로젝트와 토큰의 성장 가능성이 긍정적으로 평가되며, 하이퍼 토큰의 가치는 2030년경 1.50달러까지 상승할 것으로 전망된다.

이는 5년도 안 되는 기간 동안 126배의 성장을 의미하며, 스테이킹을 통한 $HYPER 보상은 여기에 포함되지 않은 수치로 알려졌다.

현재 기사 작성 시점 기준 프리세일 모금액이 100만 7959달러를 기록했으며, 11시간 후 가격이 인상될 예정이다.

비트코인 하이퍼의 적기가 도래한 것으로 보인다

비트코인 채택이 향후 수개월과 수년간 증가할 것으로 전망되는 가운데, 더 많은 기업들이 전략적 준비금으로 비트코인을 도입하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)와 같은 소형 코인들이 이러한 모멘텀을 활용할 수 있는 적절한 시기와 위치에 있는 것으로 보인다. 이에 따라 비트코인 하이퍼가 수 시간 전 100만 달러를 돌파한 것은 그리 놀라운 일이 아닌 것으로 평가된다.

비트코인 하이퍼 L2가 출시되면 비트코인의 증가하는 수요를 충족시키는 데 필요한 속도와 확장성, 그리고 더욱 저렴한 거래 비용을 제공할 것으로 전망된다.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF has hit a new high. It reached $70 billion in assets in just 341 trading days. That makes it the fastest fund ever to cross that line. Investors poured in at a pace few expected. And the milestone shows how much appetite there is for regulated Bitcoin products.

Investors Flock To A Trusted Vehicle

According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, IBIT “blew through $70 billion” on June 9. That run is roughly five times quicker than SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which took 1,691 trading days to hit the same mark.

IBIT now manages about $71.9 billion and holds 661,457 BTC. It sits ahead of Binance, with 629,190 BTC, and Michael Saylor’s Strategy at 582,000 BTC.

$IBIT just blew through $70b and is now the fastest ETF to ever hit that mark in only 341 days, which is 5x faster than the old record held by GLD of 1,691 days. Nice chart from @JackiWang17 pic.twitter.com/5VeGT9twpQ

Flows Show Both Gains And Pullbacks

Based on reports from Farside Analytics, IBIT led all 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs since its January 2024 debut. It attracted nearly $49 billion in net inflows, dwarfing rivals. Yet not every day has been smooth.

After a 31-day streak of fresh money, IBIT logged its largest single-day outflow—$431 million—on May 30. That shift is a reminder that these funds still move with Bitcoin’s own ups and downs.

BlackRock On Track To Rival Satoshi

At the current pace, BlackRock could hold more Bitcoin than its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, by next summer. Addresses tied to Nakamoto are estimated to control around 1.1 million BTC—about 5% of the total 21 million coins.

If IBIT reaches that level, one single firm would match the original stash. It’s a sign of how big institutions are moving into a market once ruled by individuals.

Price Moves Mirror ETF Trends

IBIT shares traded at $61.77 at the time of writing. That’s up 5.30% over the past week, as Bitcoin’s spot price climbed back toward $110,000. When Bitcoin spikes, the ETF follows. When it dips, the fund can see outflows.

Debate Over What Growth Means

In an interview last week, Blockstream CEO Adam Back opined that most individuals require an easy means of acquiring Bitcoin. According to him, most newcomers are unaware of how to configure wallets or manage private keys.

However, he also cautioned against keeping “90% of it in ETFs” as it would introduce new risks. His opinion reflects the conflict between access convenience and the preservation of Bitcoin’s original design.

BlackRock’s blockbuster ETF is a watershed for crypto. It reflects wealthy demand from institutional investors and brings Bitcoin within more mainstream accessibility. But it raises new questions about who controls the keys and how that power might shape markets.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has had a surprising shift in tone.

Chair Paul Atkins recently called self-custody a ‘foundational American value’ and announced the agency is working on an ‘innovation exemption’ to support DeFi platforms.

This is a double win for the crypto industry. It signals official support for non-custodial wallets and a new regulatory path that could make it easier for DeFi projects to operate in the U.S.

If successful, these moves could speed up on-chain innovation, attract institutional players, and drive broader adoption.

And with momentum building, several top altcoins and new crypto projects are already stepping into the spotlight.

The SEC’s Soft Pivot: A New Era for DeFi and Crypto Custody?

Few would have expected the SEC to start sounding like crypto X. But that’s exactly where things seem to be headed.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is turning a new page on self-custody, calling it a ‘foundational American value’ during remarks at the agency’s final Crypto Task Force Roundtable.

The event, titled ‘DeFi and the American Spirit,’ marked a clear departure from the SEC’s previously hardline stance and signaled a growing openness to the core principles of decentralized finance.

But that wasn’t all. Atkins also revealed the SEC is developing an ‘Innovation Exemption’ specifically for DeFi platforms. This exemption could remove some of the regulatory speed bumps that currently make it tough for U.S.-based developers to launch or scale decentralized apps.

In plain English: the SEC might finally be making it easier for legit DeFi players to build openly in the U.S., not just offshore. That could pave the way for greater institutional adoption and faster time-to-market for everything from lending apps to DAOs.

1. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Betting Big on Self-Custody

If Paul Atkins had to pick a poster child for self-custody, Best Wallet Token ($BEST) might just be it. With the SEC now backing the right to hold your own crypto, $BEST is riding a wave of relevance – and doing it with serious tech and traction.

$BEST is the token powering Best Wallet’s entire ecosystem. It’s the key to unlocking exclusive access, reduced fees, governance rights, and high-yield staking opportunities.

Built into the wallet is a revolutionary tool called ‘Upcoming Tokens,’ which makes presale participation fast, secure, and scam-free.

Those who buy $BEST also enjoy perks in the iGaming space, like free spins and deposit bonuses, thanks to strategic partnerships with CoinCasino, WSM Casino, and Mega Dice.

Currently priced at $0.025155, with over $13.1M raised, $BEST is more than a token – it’s a self-custody power play with growing real-world utility.

And if forecasts hold, the token could hit $0.072 by the end of 2025, with long-term projections reaching as high as $0.82 by 2030.

With the presale heating up and bullish forecasts ahead, now might be the best time to grab $BEST before it breaks out.

2. SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) – The First AI-Powered Web3 Platform for Creators

The SEC’s move toward DeFi-friendly regulation couldn’t come at a better time for SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) – a project rewriting the rules of content monetization.

In today’s creator economy, platforms and middlemen take the lion’s share. $SUBBD flips that model with a Web3 platform where creators get paid instantly and directly, using smart contracts and crypto-powered tools.

But $SUBBD isn’t just decentralized – it’s smart.

Powered by an AI agent, it lets fans generate realistic images and short videos of their favorite influencers (with creator approval), while creators get AI tools for chat automation, content scheduling, and monetization.

Staking rewards during presale hit 20% APY, and $SUBBD unlocks premium features, exclusive content, and boosted earnings.

Right now, you can buy $SUBBD for just $0.055625.

And with over $642K raised in the presale phase, $SUBBD is building the next-gen platform for AI-powered content freedom.

3. Dogwifhat ($WIF) – Meme Coin Meets Mainstream Momentum

With the SEC backing self-custody and DeFi innovation, meme coins like Dogwifhat ($WIF) are stepping into the spotlight alongside more serious crypto contenders.

Built on Solana, $WIF features a Shiba Inu in a pink knitted hat and has captured the internet’s imagination with zero marketing budget and no official roadmap – just memes, vibes, and momentum.

$WIF isn’t loaded with DeFi utility – it’s pure meme coin culture, driven by social buzz and speculative trading. But that doesn’t mean it’s small fry.

Despite its tongue-in-cheek origins, $WIF has secured listings on top-tier exchanges like Binance, KuCoin, OKX, and Coinbase, offering strong liquidity and easy access for traders.

The price currently hovers around $1.06, up 18.5% in the past month alone, with a market cap nearing $1B.

With a capped supply of ~999M tokens and no team or insider allocations, $WIF positions itself as a fair launch phenomenon.

As the SEC clears the runway, playful tokens like WIF are also getting a green light to go viral.

A New Era for Crypto Builders

With the SEC signaling support for self-custody and DeFi innovation, the U.S. is opening the door to a more crypto-friendly future.

This shift doesn’t just benefit Bitcoin and the best altcoins – it creates room for bold new projects like Best Wallet Token, SUBBD Token, and Dogwifhat to thrive.

Remember that this is not financial advice. Always do your own research (DYOR) before investing in crypto.

Around 34.69M $ETH is currently staked on the Beacon Chain.

That’s a full 30% of Ethereum circulating supply, and might be part of the reason why Ethereum’s up 7% over the past month.

In short, staking is good if you’re an $ETH investor.

The situation proves one of crypto’s biggest selling points – the ability to generate long-term passive rewards from existing assets.

Staking, in other words.

If you’re already staking Ethereum, what’s the next crypto to add to your staking portfolio? And why stake instead of selling?

We’ll answer those questions below.

Crypto Staking Demonstrates Long-Term Commitment

Think of staking like earning interest on a savings account. But instead of dollars or euros, you’re keeping cryptos like Ethereum or Solana in the account. And earning passive income while doing nothing.

However, unlike fiat savings, which often depreciate because of inflation (and the interest can barely offset that), staked cryptos do the oppposite. They often appreciate while also earning interest.

Stake $ETH, for instance, and it might explode over time, increasing in value while you keep earning more $ETH passively.

Staking a cryptocurrency (whether $ETH or a crypto presale token) also supports the long-term future of that token by enhancing security and improving decentralization.

It also establishes a healthy foundation for the blockchain to grow on. That’s because by staking, users have a vested interest in seeing the ecosystem and token grow consistently.

Case in point, Ethereum’s currently experiencing a surge toward $2.8K, and the significant staked portion of its supply (30%) could have played a part in that.

And when it comes to crypto presales, where tokens sell before the project launches on exchanges, the potential yield can be truly impressive – as with $SNORT’s current 487% dynamic APY.

Speaking of Snort Token, here’s why it could be one of the best crypto to stake because of its sky-high staking APY and practical utility on Ethereum and Solana.

Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Sniff Out the Best Trades, Earn 487% APY Along the Way

Snorter Token ($SNORT) powers the Snorter Bot, the best way to find hidden deals on Solana memecoins. Often traded on ‘underground’ platforms like Telegram, some of the best Solana meme coins are easily overlooked – 10x and 100x opportunities that even seasoned traders can overlook.

But not anymore. The Snorter Bot finds those underground deals, sniffing them out to deliver the best returns possible.

Snorter Bot deploys automatic sniping and fast swaps to snag the best opportunities, while limit orders (stop loss and take profit) reduce risk from fast-moving, low cap coins.

Copy trading even lets you find and imitate other successful traders. And honeypot detection and rugpull protection let traders avoid common pitfalls that could lead to losing your investment.

The Snorter Token – $SNORT – gives access to the planned Telegram dashboard and facilitates token swaps. Importantly, it also lets you stake tokens for a 487% dynamic APY.

Yield from staked $SNORT will be disbursed over one year from the end of the presale, at the rate of 9.51 $SNORT per $ETH block.

Roughly 5.1B $SNORT tokens are currently being staked, a little over 1% of the total supply of 500B. That means now is the best time to buy and stake $SNORT, as the dynamic APY will fall the more people stake their tokens.

The Snorter Token presale has raised $650K, with tokens priced at $0.0947. Learn how to buy Snorter Token with our guide.

Will Sky-High APY Supercharge Snorter Bot Presale as $ETH Staking Increases?

Even as $ETH’s price rises, the stage is set for the best meme coins and crypto presales – like Snorter Bot – to take off. Could $SNORT 100x on the back of sky-high staking yield? It might, given enough community support.

But remember isn’t financial advice – always do your own research.

Solana ($SOL) closed in the green on Monday, capping off a four-day run of positive gains with a chunky 5.70% increase in price.

This recent uptick is reportedly just the beginning of the ‘Solana Summer’ vibes. As the second round of trade talks between the US and China began yesterday, the crypto community is looking at Solana with much hope and excitement.

Join us as we take a closer look at Solana and why expert analysis suggests it could reach $180 in the next rally.

Make sure to stick around to the end, because we’ll point you towards a new altcoin, Solaxy ($SOLX), that aims to propel Solana to new heights.

Let’s Get Technical: What Do the Charts Say?

From the lens of a technical analyst, Solana’s weekly chart looks extremely promising. On it, the crypto has gracefully bounced off its 200 EMA (exponential moving average).

It now seems to be finding legs in an important support zone that kicked off the massive rally of late 2024.

Even a small uptick from here could see $SOL reaching at least the $187 mark. However, if the momentum continues, Solana will look well-positioned to challenge its all-time high of around $300.

$SOL’s monthly chart confirms its bullish bias. Here, the token is comfortably trading above the 20 EMA after having bounced off the 50 EMA a couple of months ago. This is a strong bullish signal.

In addition to a whopping 34% rise in trading volume over the past 24 hours, $SOL’s Open Interest has also increased by 3.90%, currently sitting at just under $7B.

Finally, the OI-weighted funding rate sits at a positive $0.0091% at the time of writing. This shows that Solana bulls are happy paying a premium to the bears, confirming the crypto’s bullish outlook.

The signs (both fundamental and technical) point towards an upcoming Solana rally. If you want to get maximum gains from this run, check out Solaxy, Solana’s new kid brother on the blockchain

What’s the Buzz About Solaxy?

Solaxy ($SOLX) is a new meme coin on presale that’s making some serious waves. It isn’t just another flashy presale looking to profit off the market’s growing love for meme coins; it’s on a mission to give its big brother, Solana ($SOL), a much-needed technological facelift.

The developers behind Solaxy, like so many of us, are die-hard Solana supporters. They watched in anguish as the once-speedy and highly scalable meme coin-friendly blockchain started withering with pain.

What’s Wrong with Solana, Anyway?

The Solana of today is a bit different, and not in a good way, from the Solana of, say, a year ago.

While it has welcomed so many meme coins with open arms, the runaway success of some, like $TRUMP and $MELANIA, brought in a flood of new investors to Solana.

As you can probably guess, this overloaded the network. For all its strengths, Solana wasn’t built to handle this sudden explosion in transaction requests.

This is where Solaxy comes in, promising to get rid of Solana’s scalability and congestion issues.

Solaxy’s Master Plan

Solaxy’s grand idea is to build the first-ever Layer 2 solution on Solana. Think of it as adding an express lane to a busy highway.

By offloading many transactions onto this side chain (the L2), Solaxy will massively reduce the burden on Solana’s primary blockchain (the L1).

Additionally, Solaxy plans to use ‘optimized transaction bundling.’ This means it’ll be processing transactions in batches rather than one by one, which should lead to lower costs for investors without sacrificing performance.

However, it’s worth noting that all the transactions will continue to be settled on the secure Layer 1 chain. Solaxy will do the heavy lifting off-chain, then bundle the transactions into single, optimized batches for on-chain validation.

Simply put, Solaxy’s game plan is to leverage a newly built L2 to restore Solana’s efficiency and reduce congestion, while ensuring investors continue to benefit from Solana’s top-notch L1 security.

Einstein-like Frog with Sky-High Hopes

You might have noticed Solaxy’s mascot – the iconic Pepe the Frog, but with an Einstein-like makeover. Despite being as quirky as you’d expect from a meme coin mascot, it seems to hint that this project has some serious brainpower.

An altcoin with real utility, Solaxy has emerged as the biggest crypto presale of 2025. It’s raised an eye-popping $46M in early investor funding, with significant contributions from both retailers and crypto whales.

Plus, according to our research-driven Solaxy price prediction, the token could reach $0.20 by 2026, powered by a Solana ($SOL) rally and the ever-growing interest in the meme coin scene. This represents an 11,861% return for current-stage presale buyers.

If you want to make the most of Solaxy’s potential 11,300% gain, become a $SOLX presale buyer. If you invest now – and by ‘now’ we mean almost immediately because the presale ends in less than a week – you can buy Solaxy for just $0.00175 each.

Check out our step-by-step guide on how to buy Solaxy for more information. Also, we suggest joining Solaxy’s X and Telegram channels for regular updates and official communication.

Cardano’s research and engineering arm, Input Output Global (IOG), has unveiled “Cardinal,” the first protocol that allows native Bitcoin unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) — including Ordinals — to circulate inside Cardano-based decentralized-finance markets without custodians or federations.

The disclosure came late Monday when IOG chief technology officer Romain Pellerin published a nine-part thread on X describing Cardinal as “a new primitive for Bitcoin,” adding that his team has “made history with the first cross-chain Ordinal wrap.” He summarized the design in a single sentence: “Bitcoin stays locked under MuSig2; the wrapped UTXO is minted cross-chain; it is redeemable at any time via fraud-proofed peg-out — no rehypothecation, no compromise.”

How The Cardano Bridge Works

Cardinal keeps the original satoshis on the Bitcoin base layer, secured by a MuSig2 aggregated multi-signature controlled by a rotating operator set. A hashed-timelock contract (HTLC) defines the conditions under which the funds may be reclaimed; on the Cardano side, an extended-UTXO (eUTXO) smart contract mints a 1:1-pegged non-fungible token that represents the locked UTXO. Off-chain verification is supplied by BitVMX, a verifiable-execution framework that publishes fraud proofs to Bitcoin if an operator cheats. Pellerin noted that the “1-of-n honest” assumption keeps the bridge closer to Bitcoin’s own security model than today’s federated walk-arounds such as wBTC.

Because every wrapped output is itself an NFT, Ordinals retain their on-chain provenance when they cross the bridge. Once resident on Cardano, the wrapped satoshis or Ordinals become fully programmable assets that can be deposited on automated-market-maker pools, lent out for yield, or used as collateral without relinquishing ownership of the underlying inscription. “Ordinals can now be used in DeFi, serve as collateral, be auctioned across chains, borrow / lend value without losing provenance,” Pellerin wrote.

Custodial and federated bridges such as BitGo’s wrapped-Bitcoin contracts on Ethereum have dominated the $8.7 billion BTC-on-DeFi market but have also introduced single-point-of-failure and rehypothecation risks. The bridging sector has lost more than $2.5 billion to exploits since 2021, according to public incident trackers. Cardinal’s one-of-n MuSig2 model aims to shrink the trust surface while retaining capital efficiency: redeeming the NFT triggers a burn on Cardano and an unlock on Bitcoin, with BitVMX proofs published if an operator withholds the release.

Cardano’s eUTXO accounting mirrors Bitcoin’s own UTXO structure, simplifying the mathematical equivalence proofs required for a symmetric peg. Low fee volatility, native tokenization (no ERC-721 wrapper layer) and deterministic, script-level transaction costs further influenced the choice, Pellerin said. Nevertheless, the specification released on GitHub is chain-agnostic; extensions for Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche are already sketched in the repository.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson amplified the announcement to his 1.5 million followers, writing: “Welcome to the first Bitcoin DeFi protocol developed for Cardano.”

Cardinal is not yet a turnkey consumer product. Pellerin stressed that the release is “infrastructure” and called for external contributors to improve SNARK-based burn-proof generation, recursive state proofs and wallet UX. Independent auditors will also need to scrutinize the MuSig2 implementation and operator rotation logic, both frequent failure points in prior bridge exploits.

At press time, ADA traded at $0.6984.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have charged Iurii Gugnin, the founder of a US-based crypto payments company, with orchestrating a sophisticated international money laundering operation that allegedly moved over $530 million on behalf of sanctioned Russian banks and entities. 

According to a CNBC report on the matter, the 38-year-old Russian national, residing in Manhattan, was arrested and arraigned on Monday, where he was ordered to be held without bail pending trial.

‘A Covert Pipeline For Dirty Money’

Gugnin faces a 22-count indictment that includes charges of wire and bank fraud, violations of US sanctions, money laundering, and failing to implement mandated anti-money laundering protocols. Assistant Attorney General Eisenberg stated: 

The defendant is charged with turning a cryptocurrency company into a covert pipeline for dirty money, moving over half a billion dollars through the US financial system to aid sanctioned Russian banks and help Russian end-users acquire sensitive US technology.

According to prosecutors, Gugnin utilized his companies—Evita Investments and Evita Pay—to process significant payments while obscuring the origins and purposes of the funds. Between June 2023 and January 2025, he allegedly funneled money through various US banks and cryptocurrency exchanges, primarily using Tether’s USDT stablecoin. 

The indictment reveals that Gugnin’s clients included individuals and businesses associated with sanctioned Russian institutions such as Sberbank, VTB Bank, Sovcombank, Tinkoff, and the state-owned nuclear energy firm, Rosatom.

Crypto Executive Faces Up To 30 Years In Prison 

To execute this scheme, Gugnin allegedly misrepresented the nature of his business, falsified compliance documents, and deceived banks and digital asset platforms regarding his connections to Russia. 

Prosecutors allege he concealed the source of the funds through shell accounts and altered over 80 invoices, digitally removing the identities of Russian counterparties.

Investigators also uncovered internet searches that indicate Gugnin was aware of the scrutiny he faced, including queries like “how to know if there is an investigation against you” and “money laundering penalties in the US”

Notably, the Justice Department has highlighted that Gugnin maintained direct connections with members of Russia’s intelligence services and officials in Iran—nations that do not extradite individuals to the US. He is also accused of facilitating the export of sensitive US technology to Russian clients, including controlled anti-terrorism servers.

If convicted on bank fraud charges alone, the crypto executive faces a statutory maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. However, should he be found guilty on all counts, he could face a much longer consecutive sentence that could extend beyond his lifetime, underscoring the severity of the charges against him.

The XRP price and its trajectory have been one of the most debated in the crypto community after a rapid surge that saw its price rise 600% back in 2024. Since then, the altcoin has slowed down and has been skirting support around the $2 level, with bears unable to break this level so far. With support holding so strong, expectations are that a renewed and sustained bullish momentum will begin, and this time, analysts are putting the XRP price in the double-digits.

XRP Price Forms Classic Bullish Flag Pattern

Crypto analyst Persian Blockchain has made bold predictions for the XRP price as the altcoin has seen the formation os a classic bullish flag pattern. This pattern emerged with the rise and subsequent fall in the XRP price and has continued to show signs of more bullishness to come.

One important factor that the crypto analyst points out is the fact that classic bullish flag patterns are a continuation structure. This means they often signal the start of an upward movement, most likely to push toward the previous peaks seen with the last rally.

As expected, there are still some resistances on the chart that the XRP price will have to clear. In this case, the crypto analyst highlights a level like the $2.7 resistance, which is the level to beat. As they explain, if the XRP price is able to successfully break above the resistance and then enter the buy zone, then a breakout could be expected.

The crypto analyst said: “A retest of the breakout area followed by bullish confirmation could signal the beginning of a larger move toward the $10 psychological level.” This would mean an over 400% move from the altcoin to push it toward brand new all-time highs.

Ripple Vs. SEC Lawsuit Plays A Role

So far, the long-running Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit has played a huge role in suppressing the XRP price over the years, and even now, continues to loom over the digital asset. There is yet to be a final conclusion to the legal battle, although the court’s rulings have been leaning toward a favorable outcome for Ripple.

The crypto analyst points to the SEC’s 60-day deadline coming to an end on June 16, and if the courts rule in favour of Ripple, then this could spark a fresh rally. Moreover, there has also been a rise in global liquidity, and as the stock market and Bitcoin are expected to rise, the XRP price will rise in tandem as one of the largest cryptocurrencies in the market.

A positive outcome and final conclusion to the SEC battle would renew confidence in XRP and possibly drive new investments. “The alignment of a legal breakthrough, improving macro liquidity, and a bullish chart structure makes this a scenario worth watching closely,” the analyst concluded.
