Nobitex security breach: $90m stolen from Iran's largest exchange

Hackers drained more than $90 million from Nobitex, Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, forcing the platform to take its app and website offline whilst investigating unauthorised access. This is one of the largest single-exchange breaches reported this year and highlights the ongoing risk of centralised exchange custody, regardless of jurisdiction or scale. If you hold assets on any exchange, this underscores the case for using hardware wallets or self-custodial platforms for amounts you don't actively trade. Nobitex's incident also signals that even mature, established platforms can face rapid security failures.

Standard Chartered, BlackRock and OKX launch institutional tokenised Treasury framework

The three firms unveiled a new collateral framework for a tokenised Treasury fund on Tuesday, designed specifically for institutional clients using BlackRock's tokenised-term fund structure. This development is significant because it moves tokenised government bonds from concept to live institutional infrastructure, potentially allowing larger traders and fund managers to use Treasury-backed collateral for derivatives and lending without traditional settlement delays. For traders choosing where to transact, this means venues connected to this framework—such as those offering BlackRock tokenised fund products—may gain liquidity and security advantages for institutional-sized positions. The framework extends across institutional custody and trading venues that support BlackRock's infrastructure.

Ripple secures full MiCA CASP license for 30 EU countries

Ripple has been granted a full Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) Crypto-Asset Service Provider license in Europe, allowing it to extend payment services across all 30 EU member states. This is a material regulatory milestone because MiCA compliance is now the legal requirement for any crypto service operating in the EU, and Ripple's license signals the firm is authorised to offer custody, trading and settlement services across the bloc. For European traders and institutions, this means Ripple's services now carry regulatory authorisation and associated consumer protections under MiCA. The license also removes barriers to cross-border payments within the EU using Ripple's infrastructure.

UK FCA raids eight London locations over suspected illegal peer-to-peer crypto trading

The UK Financial Conduct Authority conducted enforcement raids at eight locations in London as part of an investigation into suspected illegal peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading. This action indicates heightened FCA focus on unregistered trading platforms and OTC operations that circumvent authorisation requirements. If you trade via peer-to-peer venues or OTC desks in the UK, ensure the counterparty is FCA-authorised; unregistered platforms carry no regulatory protections and no recourse in case of fraud or custody loss. This enforcement wave may accelerate migration of UK traders towards licensed exchanges and custody providers.

Bitcoin whale activity and ETF outflows: mixed institutional sentiment

Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin whales moved funds to $64k as the Coinbase Premium indicator broke a key technical level, whilst crypto ETF flows showed divergence—Ether and Solana products gained inflows whilst Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows exceeding $290 million. This split sentiment reflects uncertainty about Bitcoin's near-term direction despite modest price gains (+0.9% to $64,086 in 24 hours); whales may be rotating capital rather than accumulating. For traders deciding between spot holdings and leveraged trading, the ETF outflow suggests some institutional players are taking profits on Bitcoin whilst maintaining exposure to Ethereum ($1,869, +0.7%) and Solana ($74.03, +1.1%). Monitor exchange inflows and whale movements as a hedge against sudden liquidity shifts on major venues.
