🐳 Whale Increases Ethereum Holdings with Significant Purchase⚡️
A notable cryptocurrency whale has recently expanded its Ethereum holdings. Six hours ago, the whale acquired an additional 2,400 ETH, valued at $3.85 million.
Over the past ten days, this entity has purchased a total of 12,010 ETH at an average price of $1,531 per ETH, amounting to $18.39 million in total investments.

DWF Labs has announced a notable $25 million investment in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance protocol with ties to the Trump family. This investment is seen as a significant step into the U.S. market for DWF Labs, which plans to open an office in New York City to foster relationships with regulators and financial institutions. The investment, which highlights DWF's confidence in the U.S. as a growing region for institutional crypto adoption, comes amidst existing political controversies surrounding WLFI.

Notably, there are growing concerns about the potential for financial misconduct associated with this investment. Allegations have surfaced regarding the governance and revenue distribution of WLFI, indicating that a substantial portion of its earnings may directly benefit Trump's family. Furthermore, DWF Labs itself has faced prior accusations of market manipulation, which contributes to the skepticism regarding the legitimacy of this partnership.

As DWF Labs integrates into the U.S. crypto landscape, it aims to leverage its position to provide liquidity for WLFI’s upcoming stablecoin, USD1, but the circumstances surrounding this investment warrant careful scrutiny from the crypto community and regulatory bodies alike.

From Pensions to Crypto: The Bold New Frontier of Retirement Investing

Pension funds are increasingly exploring investments in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as part of their diversification and growth strategies. This trend is evident across several countries:

United States: The Michigan State Retirement Fund invested approximately $6.6 million in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF in July 2024. Similarly, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board holds significant positions in the iShares Bitcoin Trust and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. Jersey City's pension fund is also considering similar allocations.

Japan: The Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest pension fund, is exploring Bitcoin as a potential diversification tool. In March 2024, GPIF initiated a five-year research plan to assess innovative investment strategies, including cryptocurrencies.

Norway: The Norwegian Government Pension Fund has invested indirectly in #cryptocurrencies by holding shares in companies like MicroStrategy, MARA (formerly Marathon Digital), Coinbase, and Block Inc., which have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Analysts estimate that the Norwegian fund indirectly owns over 2,440 BTC.

Australia: In May 2024, AMP, one of Australia's largest pension funds, invested $27 million in Bitcoin, marking it as the first major Australian pension fund to adopt digital assets. This investment represents a modest 0.05% of AMP's $57 billion assets under management.

⚡️Digital Asset Funds Experience Significant Outflows Amid Global Uncertainty

investors are increasingly withdrawing from digital assets as these investments face declining popularity due to rising geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Last week alone, global digital asset funds saw a loss of $1.7 billion, as reported by CoinShares. This brings the total outflow over the past five weeks to $6.4 billion. In the United States, bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced the longest streak of weekly outflows since their debut in January 2024, with investors pulling out more than $5.4 billion during this period.

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed support for cryptocurrencies, notably through the order to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. However, this support has not been sufficient to alleviate concerns stemming from tariff-induced trade tensions and monetary policy challenges. Despite the presidential backing, the digital asset market continues to face significant pressure.

Bitcoin has seen a substantial decline, dropping over 21% in the last three months to approximately $83,000. The broader CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) has also suffered, losing around 34.6% of its value during the same timeframe. These figures highlight the ongoing volatility and uncertainty within the digital asset sector, as investors remain cautious amid the current global economic landscape.

🚨 Clynton Marks Detained in Connection with South African Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme (MTI)

Clynton Marks, the alleged mastermind behind the South African Bitcoin Ponzi scheme Mirror Trading International (MTI), has been detained following his failure to provide satisfactory answers to liquidators regarding Bitcoin withdrawals from his MTI account. Marks claimed, "I am doing my best to respond to all questions, but my memory is insufficient to recall all the transactions. Additionally, I am unable to contact the individuals who managed the account on my behalf." Previously, Marks had entrusted investment and withdrawal operations to two associates, Don Nkomo and Andrew Caw. In 2022, Marks, along with MTI CEO Johann Steynberg and others, was ordered to repay $291 million to defrauded investors.

### Background on MTI's Downfall
MTI, once promoted as a lucrative Bitcoin and forex trading platform, promised investors monthly returns of 10%. However, it was later exposed as a fraudulent Ponzi scheme. In 2023, the Western Cape High Court declared MTI an illegal operation, invalidating all agreements with investors. Despite appeals, the ruling remains in effect. Steynberg, arrested in Brazil, is currently facing extradition, while the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is pursuing a $1.73 billion claim against the scheme.

South African liquidators, in coordination with international authorities, are working to recover assets, including approximately 29,421 Bitcoins, to compensate affected investors.
