PANews reported on October 9th that Bloomberg News reported that US President Trump is leading a global push to build strategic cryptocurrency reserves using assets seized from criminals. Chainalysis Inc. research shows that over $75 billion in cryptocurrency assets linked to illicit activity, "on-chain," and within reach of law enforcement have been allocated. Its CEO, Jonathan Levin, stated that this has increased the potential for asset confiscation and shifted global perspectives. Chainalysis found that by 2025, illicit entities held nearly $15 billion in on-chain balances, with downstream wallets (where at least 10% of funds are criminal) holding over $60 billion. Darknet market administrators and vendors controlled over $40 billion in cryptocurrency. Of the $15 billion held directly by illicit actors, Bitcoin accounted for approximately 75%. Together with Ethereum and stablecoins, this represents a 359% surge compared to five years ago. Downstream wallets have similar figures, with darknet-related wallets experiencing a compound annual growth rate exceeding 200%. However, whether authorities can access this $75 billion remains questionable. While law enforcement efforts to combat cryptocurrency crime have significantly increased in recent years, the skills, international cooperation, and funding required to identify, track, and confiscate criminals' digital assets remain daunting challenges.PANews reported on October 9th that Bloomberg News reported that US President Trump is leading a global push to build strategic cryptocurrency reserves using assets seized from criminals.

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

The post DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has struggled to gain momentum despite excitement surrounding the anticipated launch of a US-listed Dogecoin ETF this week. On-chain data reveals a decline in whale participation and a general uptick in coin selloffs across exchanges, hinting at the possibility of a deeper price pullback in the coming days. Sponsored Sponsored DOGE Faces Decline as Whales Hold Back, Traders Sell The market is anticipating the launch of Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) tomorrow, which is expected to give traditional investors direct exposure to Dogecoin’s price movements.  However, DOGE’s price performance has remained muted ahead of the milestone, signaling a lack of enthusiasm from traders. According to on-chain analytics platform Nansen, whale accumulation has slowed notably over the past week.

This reduced DOGE demand from significant players can lead to decreased buying pressure, potentially resulting in price stagnation or declines in the near term.
