Binance Research Says $75B in Illicit Crypto Remains On-Chain

The post Tokenized Assets Could Reach $1.6T by 2030, Binance Research – Bitcoin News appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Binance Research framed tokenization as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain systems. Tokenized penetration across fixed income, equities, real estate, private credit, and commodities remains around 0.01%. Regulatory progress could shape whether tokenized markets move beyond early institutional pilots. Tokenized Markets Move Toward Wider Adoption Binance Research published a report on May 15 that framed tokenization as a growing bridge between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure. The report said real-world assets ( RWAs) could form a much larger market by 2030 as institutions test digital versions of familiar financial products. Its base case placed the opportunity near $1.6 trillion. Treasury products, gold-backed commodities, and tokenized public equities remain among the clearest areas of activity. U.S. Treasury-linked t

The post Binance Research: Illicit Crypto Still Under 1% of On-Chain Volume, But $75B in Flagged Funds Tests Tracing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Public narratives still cast crypto as a hub for criminal finance, yet the numbers tell a different story. Illicit activity accounted for less than 1% of total on-chain transaction volume in 2025, according to a report from Binance Research that offers a quiet corrective to the usual headlines. The absolute figure—over $75 billion in illicit funds remaining on-chain—jumped roughly 28% from 2024, but that growth sits inside a vastly larger legitimate ecosystem. The disconnect between perception and data matters because it shapes how lawmakers write rules. Right now, US banks are fighting a landmark crypto bill just days before a Senate vote, arguing that looser custody standards invite illicit finance. When on-chain data shows illicit volume stays below 1%, that argument runs thin. Yet the raw sum—$75 billion—gives regulators a concret

The post DPRK-Affiliated Hacking Incidents Drop, but losses Increased 51% in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. North Korea (DPRK) state-affiliated hackers and threat actors were responsible for more than $2 billion in crypto losses in 2025, a 51% year-over-year increase, despite fewer attacks carried out by the group, according to cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. DPRK hackers represent the “largest” threat group targeting cryptocurrency users, as measured by the dollar amount of assets stolen, according to the company’s 2026 Financial Services Threat Landscape report. Crowdstrike added: “Stolen proceeds are almost certainly laundered to fund the regime’s military programs. Compared to 2024, DPRK-nexus adversaries conducted fewer campaigns but achieved significantly higher returns by prioritizing high-value targets.” The DPRK hackers and scammers focused on targeting Web3 projects and cryptocurrency exchanges because the stolen funds could be “cashed out” and transferred with

The cybersecurity threats from North Korea are perpetrated by a myriad of small hacker groups deploying malware and executing social engineering scams.

The post Mapping LUNC’s road ahead after Terra Classic’s 13% slide appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Terra Classic [LUNC] has seen a massive distribution of price fluctuation over the past day, with capital outflow extending as far as 13% within that period. This marks two consecutive days of outflow shortly after it established its highest level since 2025. The possibility of a rebound still exists, but that is not to say it will be a quick one. If anything, another double-digit loss remains in play at the moment. Parabolic SAR enters its 7th bearish day The clearest signs of bear dominance seen over the past day come from momentum and trend indicators confirming selling pressure. The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse), which tracks whether a trend is bullish or bearish through dots placed below and above the price, respectively, shows the bears have gained control of Terra Classic [LUNC]. The last time the Parabolic SAR formed above price was on the 12th of March, a move that lasted

The post The Boring Market Crypto May Actually Fix appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto has spent years chasing its grand institutional moment. Most of the attention has gone to Bitcoin ETFs, tokenized funds, stablecoins, and the promise of Wall Street moving on-chain. Yet one of the clearest use cases may sit in a far less glamorous corner of finance: trade finance. That is the market Travis John, Head of Institutional DeFi at XDC Network, believes blockchain can improve in a practical way.  Speaking at Consensus Miami, Travis described a global trade system still dependent on fragmented records, slow bank coordination, paper-heavy processes, and expensive financing. “Since 2019, we’ve been building these rails,” Travis said. The goal, he explained, is “a better, faster, cheaper, more transparent way to track global commerce.” Global Trade Still Runs on Broken Records The problem is easy to understand. A shipment of coffee can involve nine parties. Copper can involve eleven. Ba
