Malaysian authorities destroyed 985 mining devices 🧐
The total value of the devices is estimated at $450,000. They were reportedly confiscated during multiple raids aimed at combating electricity theft since 2022. 🥷⚡️

The L2 blockchain Base will soon introduce its own naming service, Basenames.
📝 Users will be able to register a unique base.eth name to create an on-chain identity.
🚀 After the launch of Basenames, all names will be put up for Dutch auction, where prices will decrease over 36 hours.
This will give everyone a chance to get their chosen name and prevent bots from snatching it up. 🚫🤖

Elon Musk is shilling DOGE again 🐶
In response to Donald Trump's statements about intending to collaborate with Musk in a new administration, Elon wrote, "I am ready to serve."
👀 However, $DOGE did not react with a fantastic surge like in the glory days of the previous bull run, instead increasing by just a modest 5%, more or less in line with the overall market's response to Bitcoin's rise to $61,000. 🤷

CryptoQuant: Hash Ribbons Signals End of Miner Capitulation 🚀
The Hash Ribbons indicator, which tracks mining market stress using 30- and 60-day moving averages of Hash Rate, has just marked the end of miner capitulation, according to CryptoQuant.
🏔 With Hash Rate hitting a new all-time high of 638 EH/s, miners are adopting more efficient equipment, reducing their selling, and reigniting their machines.
This is the first such signal since the halving, when miner rewards were cut to 3,125 BTC (~$185k). While the indicator doesn’t pinpoint exact price bottoms, it often signals reduced selling pressure and can precede price increases. 📈✨

SEC Halts Solana ETF Approval Process 🚫
👀 The SEC has expressed concerns that Solana might be classified as a security, which led to Cboe removing its 19b-4 filings for Solana ETFs.
These filings, necessary for starting the approval process, have been withdrawn from the Cboe website and the Federal Register.
VanEck’s S-1 registration for a Solana ETF is still visible on the SEC’s EDGAR system, while 21Shares’ S-1 filing has disappeared from search results, though the link still works. 🧐
The SEC's stance isn't surprising given past statements labeling Solana as a security. Experts predict that Solana ETF approvals are unlikely under the current administration, with potential new filings or amendments expected in the future. 📉
VanEck argues Solana is a commodity like Bitcoin, but the SEC's position may delay or block ETF approvals until at least 2025, contingent on political changes.

Three crypto investors have filed a class-action lawsuit against Binance and Changpeng Zhao, accusing the exchange of money laundering.
👀 The plaintiffs allege that their assets were stolen and transferred by the perpetrators to Binance, which allowed them to obscure the trail of the stolen cryptocurrency.
Changpeng Zhao is currently serving a prison sentence for money laundering and is expected to be released in September.
Do you think CZ will be released from prison as planned and become a herald of a bull run, while the new case is just a formality? - 👍
Or is there a chance that new charges could extend his prison term? - 👎
It's a lengthy process; even if new charges are proven, Changpeng Zhao may still be released on schedule and will definitely be free for some time. - 🔥
