On-chain yield platform Altura announced that it originally planned to purchase USDT using fiat funds from its Altura bank account through over-the-counter trading partners, but the bank account holding the relevant funds has been temporarily frozen by the bank. Screenshots show that the frozen amount is approximately £16.446 million, about $21.88 million, and this plan has therefore been hindered.Altura stated that it has communicated with the bank regarding this matter, and the bank has requested that it wait for the review to be completed, stating that it will contact them separately if additional materials are needed. The current situation is completely beyond Altura's control, and they must wait for further responses from the bank. Altura also announced that due to limited team resources, it will suspend community chat functions to focus on addressing the current issues, and it promises that subsequent developments will be promptly communicated through its official X account, Telegram channel, and Discord, while urging the community to avoid speculation until official confirmation is received.

According to crypto user @HowardLouisHL, on June 30, 2026, he deposited 100,000 USDT into Ourbit and engaged in normal trading for about a week. On July 4, when he attempted to withdraw to Binance, the system prohibited the transaction. Customer service only replied, "Triggered risk control," without specifying the exact reason. The next day, the user's account was restricted from logging in. After being forced to submit all identity and account information, on July 20, he received an official email from Ourbit stating that the review had been postponed to July 3, 2027, and declared that "it may be extended again without reason."The user made three demands: to publicly disclose the specific risk control reasons, to provide a clear timeline for handling, and to immediately unfreeze and return the 100,000 USDT.As of now, Ourbit has not issued a public response regarding this incident.

Token Pocket's Chief Business Officer Michael stated that the mnemonic phrase of the Robinhood founder was leaked during a live broadcast. After hackers gained control of the address, they used that address and associated addresses to buy a large amount of the Meme coin at $1, prompting thousands of investors to follow suit, rapidly increasing the market value of the token from about $500,000 to $14 million in a short period.Subsequently, the price of the $1 token fell sharply, with a trading volume of about $20 million within just two hours. After the related addresses were frozen, the hackers quickly moved to the BNB Chain (BSC), using that address and its associated addresses to issue new tokens, and created trading hype through self-buying and selling, ultimately executing a sell-off to cash out. Robinhood's RPC has frozen that address, and nodes do not allow transactions sent from that address to be packaged, so transfers and trades cannot be conducted.

According to Vietnam's Youth Newspaper, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam recently held a press conference to report the latest investigation results of the ONUS cryptocurrency platform fraud case. More than 350 kilograms of gold and silver have been seized, transactions involving 8 properties valued at 20 trillion Vietnamese dong have been frozen, and transactions of over 300 involved bank accounts have been suspended.On March 23 of this year, the police filed criminal charges against 8 defendants, accusing them of using computer networks and telecommunications networks to commit property appropriation and money laundering. Since 2018, the individuals involved have taken advantage of the public's lack of understanding of cryptocurrency, creating digital accounts through applications and packaging them as virtual currency. They established trust and attracted investment through circular buying and selling among affiliated companies, thereby committing fund appropriation, with a total sale of cryptocurrency valued at over 70 trillion Vietnamese dong from 2018 to 2021.The case involves numerous individuals and users, with approximately 5 million user accounts opened. The police have received over 2000 reports from citizens. The public security authorities are investigating the possible accomplice responsibilities of KOLs and other internet celebrities and continue to make every effort to recover the embezzled funds.

According to Decrypt, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service has applied to the Rotterdam court to declare the cryptocurrency platform Knaken and its affiliated payment institution Stichting Knaken Payments bankrupt, stating that this move is in the "public interest."Knaken has ceased operations since early June, leaving approximately 30,000 users unable to withdraw funds from the platform. The prosecution stated that the platform did not obtain the license required by the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), and the liquidation process lacks orderly management, having stopped payments to customers and allegedly advised users not to file compensation claims.Meanwhile, the Dutch Financial Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) has launched a criminal investigation and searched relevant locations on Monday, seizing laptops, mobile phones, and some company assets, with no arrests made so far. If the court approves the bankruptcy application, the court-appointed bankruptcy administrator will take over the company's assets and be responsible for determining the repayment arrangements for customers and other creditors.

According to The Block, Sovright (the nonprofit successor organization related to Electric Coin Company for Zcash development) has officially released a wallet recovery tool named "Argos," aimed at helping early Zcash users recover funds that have been "stuck" due to the discontinuation of the old version of ZEC Wallet Lite in 2022.Sovright's Executive Board Chair Michelle Lai stated that Argos can recover affected assets as long as users still hold the old wallet mnemonic phrases, but since it only involves specific shielded addresses, the scale of the impact cannot be precisely estimated. However, it is estimated that the "amount is considerable," primarily concentrated among early long-term holders.She referred to the issue as a "technical pitfall" that the community has long failed to address, which, although not prominent, continues to erode user trust. Sovright currently consists of only three core members, all from the former Bootstrap system. The team is also testing a privacy-focused Zcash mining pool to reduce hash power centralization and enhance network decentralization.The governance structure of the organization has undergone significant adjustments, with Electric Coin Company employees collectively leaving to establish a new entity, Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL), which has received support from institutions such as Paradigm and a16z, focusing on the development of Zcash-related products.Sovright emphasizes that there is no antagonistic relationship with ZODL and states that it will continue to focus on solving "long-standing issues" in the Zcash ecosystem, including key pain points such as wallet usability and infrastructure stability.

According to Jinshi citing Al Jazeera, Iranian President Pezeshkian announced more details about the US-Iran agreement. The Iranian president stated that as part of a preliminary agreement to end the war with the United States, the $6 billion in frozen funds currently held by Qatar will be returned.

However, its compliance team identified the abnormal behavior and successfully froze EURR funds worth six figures, while also closing the exit channel. This incident did not affect any user funds, and Oobit's own system was not breached. They are currently cooperating with StablR and investigators to advance subsequent handling.Earlier reports indicated that StablR suffered a loss of approximately $28 million due to a hacker attack, with both EURR and USDR losing their peg.
