CEX

CEXs are platforms managed by centralized organizations that facilitate the trading of cryptocurrencies, offering high liquidity and user-friendly fiat on-ramps. Leaders like Binance, OKX, and Coinbase serve as the primary gateways for institutional and retail entry. In 2026, the industry focus is on Proof of Reserves (PoR), enhanced regulatory compliance, and hybrid models that offer self-custody options.

Crypto Scammers are Targeting UK Media to Promote Fake Projects

Crypto Scammers are Targeting UK Media to Promote Fake Projects

The post Crypto Scammers are Targeting UK Media to Promote Fake Projects appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new scam technique is hitting the UK, as crypto criminals are impersonating respected publications like the BBC. These fake news bulletins can contain fraudulent investment opportunities or phishing attacks. One nasty incident targeted victims of a CEX data breach, then used a fake government warning to describe the security incident. This strategy enabled hackers to steal £2.1 million from one victim alone. New Scams Hit the UK The UK has dealt with social media crypto scams for several years now, and a new wave of operations is cropping up. In recent days, both the BBC and local Welsh media outlets have reported on a disturbing new trend: impersonating the publications themselves. “There are fake articles circulating which appear to be news pieces encouraging people to invest in cryptocurrency schemes. One of these articles has been designed to look as if it is on WalesOnline. It is being promoted on Facebook and claims that the scheme is backed by the Welsh Government,” claimed David James, Editor at WalesOnline. Essentially, these hackers run phony token advertisements or scam warnings, which are made to look like they’re from the UK government or respected media institutions. They include further details like fake quotes or footage to help sell the illusion. Devastating Social Engineering Tricks Recently, plenty of crypto criminals have used fake website clones to lure potential victims. This tactic is certainly a global trend. One UK operation, though, is a particularly insidious scam innovation. It used information from a data breach to target victims, which is also fairly common. However, criminals combined them in a truly novel way. The scam consisted of a fake BBC warning describing the data breach. A user might be vaguely aware that their data has been compromised, and then see a “news bulletin” describing the incident. This…

Solana Dominates User Charts This Week. Could An Emerging Gem On It Spark the Next Rally?

Solana Dominates User Charts This Week. Could An Emerging Gem On It Spark the Next Rally?

The crypto market has been moving sideways lately, but Solana keeps making noise in its own way. Over the past week (Aug 12–19, 2025), activity on the network has been buzzing, once again putting Solana at the top for user engagement. Solana's Strong Showing In User Growth And Key Metrics Recent figures lay out why Solana is leaving others behind. Nansen data puts the network at over 20.71 million active addresses for the week ending August 19, 2025, way ahead of BNB Chain's 10.26 million and Base at 7.19 million in similar periods. Another look from Nansen highlights Solana hitting 22.24 million in a comparable stretch, with Tron and others trailing far back, thanks to its cheap fees and quick processing that appeal to users everywhere. DeFi on Solana is holding steady too. TVL is sitting around $10.4B (DefiLlama), slightly down over 24 hours but still up 5% on the week. DEX volumes remain healthy, averaging $2.6B daily, with a weekly total above $28B. The token itself trades at about $184, giving Solana a market cap close to $99B. Not bad for a chain that only a year ago was battling network hiccups. Early 2025 tweaks to the network have smoothed out operations, making it a go-to for developers tinkering with games, social apps, and DeFi tools. It's this kind of steady momentum that reminds observers of past cycles where one chain's rise lifts innovative projects built on it, creating those unexpected winners that savvy traders spot early. Unich: A Solana-Built Project Improving The OTC Space Amid this momentum, one project catching attention is Unich, a Solana-based platform designed to clean up the messy world of OTC deals for pre-launch tokens. Normally, these trades happen informally through Telegram chats, not exactly the safest setup. Unich Pre-Market changes that dynamic by leveraging smart contracts to secure collateral from both buyers and sellers, ensuring automatic compensation if a deal falls through after the token generation event (TGE). This approach minimizes risks in a space where trust has been hard to come by, turning what was once a gamble into a more reliable process. https://twitter.com/unich_com/status/1948409782425079924 Complementing this, Unich Pre-Order enables leveraged exposure to listed tokens with only 5% collateral required, settling trades at a predetermined price to avoid liquidation pitfalls and short-term volatility. These tools highlight a shift toward strategic trading over pure speculation, especially appealing in Solana's fast-paced environment where meme coins and DeFi plays dominate. Recently, Unich IDO has launched, targeting 100 million $UN for fundraising. The starting price is set at $0.15 per UN, with a referral program aimed at community growth, and includes an 11% referral program (8% in USDT, 3% in $UN) to encourage community expansion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0aemyUrO6A The same as many market analysts, we consider Unich IDO one of the most anticipated token sales in Q3/2025 because of the solid milestones they’ve reached. In just six months, Unich has already processed $1.2B in OTC volume and become the world’s first OTC exchange to hit that amazing number. The platform so far has attracted over 5M users from 100+ countries, and generated $20M in revenue, before its own token launch. For anyone watching Solana’s ecosystem, Unich feels like one of those projects that could ride the wave higher. With expected listings on top-tier CEXs on the horizon after the token sale, Unich may be worth keeping an eye on. Disclaimer: This Press release article is provided by the Client.

Crypto Founder Ordered to Pay $228 Million over Fake AI Ponzi Scheme

Crypto Founder Ordered to Pay $228 Million over Fake AI Ponzi Scheme

The post Crypto Founder Ordered to Pay $228 Million over Fake AI Ponzi Scheme appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EminiFX founder Eddy Alexandre just lost a court battle over his fake AI exchange scam and must pay $228 million to his creditors. This represents the climax of a two-year legal battle. Several of EminiFX’s tactics are still notorious in 2025. He used fake promises of AI to lure investors, targeting NYC’s immigrant populations. Both these methods are in use today. EminiFX’s Fake AI Scam Crypto crime may be at an epidemic level right now, but major frauds from the past also tend to pop back up. Two years ago, EminiFX founder Eddy Alexandre was sentenced to prison for commodities fraud. Today, the CFTC won another victory over EminiFX, ordering Alexandre to pay a massive fine for the scam: “The CFTC seeks restitution on behalf of EminiFX’s investors in the amount of $228,576,962, which is the amount of money contributed to the company by EminiFX investors minus withdrawals. Simply put, EminiFX was a Ponzi scheme, and investors’ decisions to give their money to Defendants were predicated entirely on fraudulent misrepresentations,” the court order read. EminiFX was ostensibly a CEX and forex business, but its real scam proved somewhat ahead of its time. Alexandre claimed that the platform used a sophisticated AI protocol to double investor yields. In reality, the business was a Ponzi scheme, using future investments to keep early adopters on the hook. A Scheme Ahead of Its Time Several of EminiFX’s scam tactics are much more common now. In 2025, AI-powered tools are enabling many scams, with AI-generated code used to drain wallets and sophisticated deepfakes facilitating social engineering. Alexandre used the promise of AI as a confidence scam, but the technology wasn’t a core component. Apparently, he didn’t use AI at all, spending investor money on personal bills and risky trades that lost $49 million. Additionally, EminiFX…

4 Tokens Below $10 That Could Deliver Bitcoin Level Returns for Long-Term Wealth Creation

4 Tokens Below $10 That Could Deliver Bitcoin Level Returns for Long-Term Wealth Creation

The post 4 Tokens Below $10 That Could Deliver Bitcoin Level Returns for Long-Term Wealth Creation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin has been the benchmark for crypto wealth creation, but its current six-figure price makes it inaccessible for many retail investors seeking high-multiple gains. The good news? Several promising altcoins still trade under $10, yet can potentially deliver Bitcoin-like returns in the long run. Here are four tokens under $10 currently in the spotlight: Ripple (XRP): Institutional adoption is accelerating, legal clarity is secured, and an ETF is potentially brewing. Sui (SUI): DeFi innovation and major bank custody deals signal mainstream integration. Tron (TRX): Dominates stablecoin transactions with record network activity and DeFi growth. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Coin with Big-League Ambitions Little Pepe is proving that meme coins can be more than speculative jokes. In Stage 10 of its presale, the project has already raised over $18.5 million and sold 11.3 billion tokens, each priced at $0.0019, up 90% from Stage 1. The token launches at $0.003 with a projected $300 million market cap. What sets LILPEPE apart is its sniper-bot-proof Layer 2 blockchain, the first of its kind in the meme space, ensuring fair trading for every participant. Coupled with zero buy/sell tax and a dedicated meme coin launchpad, the project blends humor with serious technical infrastructure. The team has also achieved notable milestones before launch: The listing on CoinMarketCap provides instant visibility to millions of traders. The CertiK audit is completed. The smart contract security is verified. Top-tier CEX listings are confirmed, with plans for the largest exchange already in motion. Token vesting is investor-friendly: 0% at TGE, a 3-month cliff, then 5% monthly, reducing dump risk and building long-term trust. Given the presale momentum, meme virality, and utility-driven roadmap, a rally toward $0.4 in a strong bull cycle is feasible, a potential 21,000%+ gain from current prices. Ripple (XRP): The Institutional Payment Powerhouse XRP has…
