DOGS Price Plummets 19% In A Week As Investors Pivot To This SHIB Derivative For Its 894% APY

Image
The DOGS price dropped 15% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.001288 as of 3.30 a.m. EST on trading volume that plummeted 64% to $737.6 million. On a weekly basis, the token corrected by over 19%. The DOGS token is closely connected to the Telegram community, as it was created as a community-driven initiative on the TON Blockchain and was designed to leverage Telegram’s massive user base and native meme culture. Its price has recently been strongly influenced by fundamental factors, specifically the fact that Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, was both arrested and released within a single week. Durov was arrested shortly after landing in France, due to his connection to Telegram, which was enough to make the French authorities hold him responsible, at least in part, for enabling criminals to share illegal content and organize operations using his privacy-enabled messaging app. The rally in support of Pavel Durov, who was detained in Paris, is ongoing in Moscow.

Toncoin Price Prediction: TON Jumps 5% After Pavel Durov Release, And Analysts Predict This Staking Crypto Can 100X

Image
The Toncoin price surged 5% in the last 24 hours to trade at $5.60 as of 5.10 a.m. EST on trading volume that soared 101% to $1.36 billion. The TON price’s 5% surge is part of a recovery from a drop seen on August 24. This was when the news emerged that Telegram founder, Pavel Durov, was arrested by the French authorities for his ties to Telegram. The French authorities held him accountable for enabling various illegal activities that criminals are organizing through the Telegram app. For example, they alleged Durov was complicit in money laundering, helping spread child pornography, refusing to communicate to authorities, and other illegal activities. Since then, the French authorities have been heavily criticized by Durov’s defenders for taking him into custody, claiming that the move represents an attack on freedom of expression. Since then, Durov has been charged and released after paying 5 million EUR-large bail, and while he is not allowed to leave the country, his ...

UK's first crypto ATM charge claims phone shop owner laundered $400K

UK police issued the country’s first-ever crypto ATM indictment after accusing a man from London of operating an illegal machine and laundering £300,000 ($395,000). Habibur Rahman was charged on Wednesday over a year after he was arrested in April 2023. UK police seized various crypto ATMs from the 37-year-old who ran a mobile phone shop in Chatham, Kent. Rahman is accused of laundering the hundreds of thousands of pounds by converting it into crypto.   The UK’s Finacial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a crypto ATM ban in 2022, warning machine holders they must be registered with the FCA . The regulator subsequently launched a crackdown on unregistered crypto ATMs. By July 2023, Blockworks had reported, using data from CoinATM radar, that there were fewer than 10 crypto ATMs left in the country. Now CoinATM Radar estimates that there are no longer any of the machines in the UK.

Are Telegram chats actually encrypted? | Protos

Authorities in France have arrested Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram and Russia’s largest social network, VK. Last week, he was in Azerbaijan at the same time as Vladimir Putin. Around the world, hundreds of millions of Telegram users are suddenly questioning a fundamental promise of Pavel Durov: “All chats are secure.” As of May 2020, Telegram claimed that Durov was the sole financier of its messenger. The application boasts between 700 and 950 million monthly active users. Since 2017, he has repeatedly assured his fans, “Everything is secure.” However, many cybersecurity experts have questioned this characterization. Although Telegram’s end-to-end encrypted “Secret Chats” are widely regarded as a truly secure messenger between two devices, there are vulnerabilities in Telegram’s group and standard chats – dwarfing the popularity of Secret Chats by orders of magnitude. In Telegram, end-to-end encryption is optional . Creating a Secret Chat requires several extra steps and do...
