1. Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Arrested in France link The founder and CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov, was arrested at a French airport last Saturday evening at 20:00 local time (GMT 18:00). The arrest was carried out by the French Air Transport Gendarmerie (GTA) upon his arrival from Azerbaijan. He was detained based on a French search warrant issued by the Office of the National Police (OFMIN) following a preliminary investigation. French judicial authorities accuse Durov of facilitating drug trafficking, child crime activities, and fraud through Telegram by failing to moderate content, refusing to cooperate with law enforcement, and providing tools such as disposable numbers and cryptocurrency. Following the arrest, TON (The Open Network) saw a 13.2% drop in value over the past 24 hours. In response to the arrest, the TON community issued a statement assuring everyone that the community remains strong and fully operational. The statement emphasized their commitment to free speech and...

The community behind layer-1 blockchain The Open Network (TON) is rallying behind the messaging platform Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, who is currently detained in France. French authorities arrested Durov at the Le Bourget Airport last weekend on a warrant related to Telegram’s alleged failure to moderate content linked to drugs, fraud and other criminal activities. In a post on social media platform X, the TON Society is asking the public to support an initiative to free Durov by signing an open letter urging France to release the 39-year-old. “Anyone who values privacy and freedom of speech should sign this letter to French authorities. We hope to reach hundreds of millions of signatures. We urge the French authorities to Free Mr. Pavel Durov from detention.  Allow Telegram to protect the freedom of expression and right to private life for its users. The #DigitalResistance is now. #FREEDUROV.” The open letter says the arrest is a blatant attack on ...

Fears circulated on Wednesday of a liquidity crisis at Binance. After people claimed that customers withdrew 44,808 bitcoins — screenshotting yet failing to cite CoinGlass data in almost all of their posts — the mysterious number spread like a conspiratorial wildfire. On August 28, 44,808 bitcoin left the exchange, according to a 24-hour snapshot on CoinGlass. (Notably, CoinGlass competitor Arkham does not show this net change in Binance bitcoin holdings, suggesting that the withdrawals were quickly serviced with replenishments from cold storage in the same 24-hour period.) Indeed, on August 27 — just hours before those withdrawals commenced — Binance moved 30,000 bitcoin from its cold storage wallet to an omnibus hot wallet so that it could service those August 28 withdrawals in an orderly fashion. The fearmongers omitted that detail. Aiming to broadcast the scariest number possible, they also omitted Binance’s total assets which contain at least $70 billion...

This move might indicate a change in global financial strategies, especially as other countries consider BTC part of their reserves.

The Notcoin price pumped over 5% in the last 24 hours to trade at 6:13 a.m. EST as investors rush to buy the altcoin. Despite this recent gain, the NOT price is still more than 12% in the red on the weekly time frame. Its monthly performance is also negative after the crypto dropped 32% over the past 30 days. The Notcoin Price Hovering Above A Key Support 4-hour chart for NOT/USD (Source: GeckoTerminal ) The Notcoin price is resting on the key support level at $0.007840. Should it drop below this technical safety net in the coming 24 hours, the altcoin could be at risk of falling to the subsequent mark at $0.006122. On the other hand, NOT maintaining a position above the $0.007840 mark for the next 24 hours might invalidate the bearish thesis. In this alternative scenario, traders could identify the Notcoin price as a good buy opportunity. With this potential buy pressure, the crypto might attempt to flip the $0.010092 resistance into support. Thereafter, it could rise to $0.01...

When French authorities arrested Telegram founder Pavel Durov after his attempted meeting with Vladimir Putin, conspiracy theories spread like wildfire. Andrew Tate was early to spin the news in his favor, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “The owner of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has just been arrested in France for failing to censor the truth on his application. “Potential charges include support for terrorism, drug trafficking, complicity in crimes, mass fraud, money laundering, concealment, pedophile content, sanctions evasion, and more.” Others soon re-posted his non-falsifiable dog whistle, earning it millions of impressions and hundreds of thousands of likes. Mischaracterizations of Durov’s arrest proliferated. Fans of Durov, casting the billionaire as a bulwark of privacy and free speech, immediately posited that authorities were leveraging his arrest to coerce him to install backdoors in Telegram for governmental monitors. Of course, this theory assumes that ...
