🚨UK Regulator FCA Arrests Two in $1.3B Illegal Crypto Operation

Hey crypto fam!

Big news from the UK! The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and London's police force have arrested two individuals suspected of running an illegal $1.3 billion crypto business. 💰

"Over 1 billion pounds of unregistered crypto assets are believed to have been bought and sold through this business"

🏠The FCA stated. The suspects, aged 38 and 44, were interviewed and released on bail. During the raid, offices were inspected and digital devices were seized from two London homes.

🔍The investigation is ongoing, and the FCA hasn't shared more details yet. Since January 2021, crypto asset services in the UK must be registered with the FCA under anti-money laundering rules, but only 44 out of 300+ companies have made it to the register.

The UK recently gave police more power to seize and freeze crypto assets during investigations.

"The FCA has an important role in keeping dirty money out of the UK financial system"

said Therese Chambers, FCA's executive director of enforcement and market oversight.

✖️❄️ XRP, ADA: Potential Bullish Sign, 'Rocket Fuel' Could Be Here

Hey crypto fam!

🐂Exciting update for the ✖️XRP and ❄️ADA communities from on-chain data provider Santiment! Despite heavy shorting pressure on XRP and ADA, there's a silver lining for bulls.

"Rocket Fuel" for XRP and ADA?

💥Santiment's tweet highlights that the significant shorting of XRP and ADA might actually be good news for patient bulls. This shorting can act as "rocket fuel" for continuous price rises as liquidated shorts could drive prices higher.

"Cardano and XRP are seeing heavy trader shorting following relief bounces. This is a good sign for patient bulls, as liquidated shorts can effectively act as 'rocket fuel' for continued price rises."

— Santiment (@santimentfeed)

🔼🔽XRP and ADA Roller Coaster Ride

✖️XRP: Saw an 11% rise from $0.46712 to $0.51843 between June 14th and 17th, followed by an 8.06% drop by Tuesday. Currently, XRP is up 4.5%.

❄️ADA: Experienced a 10% drop between Sunday and Monday, largely due to a massive red hourly candle, then recovered by 6%, now trading at $0.394.
Currently, XRP and Cardano hold seventh and tenth places on CoinMarketCap’s top 10 list, with market caps of $27.7B and $14.0B, respectively.

💻Shiba Inu (SHIB) Surges 4,320% in Whale Netflows Amid Price Recovery

🐶Shiba Inu (SHIB) is witnessing an extraordinary 4,320% increase in netflows from large holders, according to recent on-chain data. This surge comes as SHIB strives to reclaim the critical daily Simple Moving Average (SMA) 200, signaling a potential bullish turnaround.

⭐️Large holder netflows, which track changes in positions of significant investors ("whales"), have spiked dramatically. Such a surge often indicates accumulation by major players, potentially in anticipation of upcoming market catalysts or developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

🔵Whales typically capitalize on price dips to accumulate assets at discounted levels. The recent influx of netflows coincides with SHIB's efforts to surpass the daily SMA 200, currently around $0.00001872.

🟣After declining from highs near $0.0000294 in late May and dipping below the SMA 200, SHIB's current push to reclaim this level suggests potential for significant price action if momentum continues.

✅As of now, SHIB has risen 0.85% over the last 24 hours to $0.00001864. Traders are closely watching whether SHIB can sustainably breach the SMA 200, which could catalyze a renewed bullish trend in the near term.
