Binance vs. RedotPay: The $470 Million “Ex-Partner Revenge Saga” — Who Owns the Users in Crypto?

In August 2026, the crypto world was thrown into chaos.　　The worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, filed a lawsuit against the three co-founders of leading crypto payment card company RedotPay in Hong Kong, seeking $472.8 million in damages. At the same time, Binance launched another legal action in Singapore against entities affiliated with RedotPay, with the hearing having concluded this morning.　　On one side is Binance, the world‘s largest crypto exchange. On the other side is RedotPay, a rising star in Hong Kong’s stablecoin payment sector, widely known in the crypto community as the “Little Red Card”.　　This is not an ordinary business dispute. In its lawsuit, Binance used a highly serious term: “fraudulent scheme.”　　And at the center of this battle lies a question that every crypto user should pay attention to:　　In the crypto world, who really owns the users？A $470 Million “Revenge of the Ex” Saga: Two Agreements, Two “Betrayals”？　　The story begins three years ago...　　In 2023, Visa stopped issuing Binance-branded cards in Europe, followed by Mastercard announcing the termination of its partnership with Binance. Binance‘s card service was gone, but users’ demand for spending crypto assets remained.　　That was when RedotPay entered the scene.　　Its product was simple: a crypto debit card connected to

Former 100x Token DEXE Crashes 97%: Why Are Small-Cap Coins That Surge During Bear Markets a Trap?

Recently, two prominent crypto figures on X, @blmario669 and @choc07_, highlighted the same issue: DEXE, once considered a potential 100x gem, plunged from $46.9 to $5.6 within a single day, an 88% drop. (It has since fallen to a low of $1.5, representing a 97% decline.) During the crash, a large investor reportedly suffered losses of nearly $1.7 million, equivalent to more than 10 million RMB.　　The sharp decline in DEXE has drawn attention toward market maker DWF Labs, which was accused of using the Ceffu MirrorX mechanism to bypass on-chain monitoring and execute a large-scale sell-off.　　For more detailed information, please refer to: @blmario669 and @choc07_.　　DEXE operates in the decentralized social trading and asset management sector. In October last year, it followed the broader market downturn and dropped to a low of $0.136. However, starting in February this year, it went against the market trend and entered a five-month consecutive rally, reaching $49.4 on July 13. The token recorded a peak gain of more than 360x, making it a true “100x coin.” Its market capitalization ranking also surged from outside the top 100 into the top 50.　　However, just seven days after reaching its all-time high, on July 21, DEXE suffered an

BitMart Accused of Running Away and Blocking Withdrawals? “Debt Recovery Alliance” Formed: Users Dem

Recently, a former BitMart employee publicly exposed allegations on X, claiming that BitMart‘s collapse was a premeditated scheme to take users’ funds and disappear.　　According to the claims, before its alleged shutdown, BitMart used high-yield financial products to attract and collect approximately 40 million USDT from users. The platform has since reportedly refused withdrawal requests, especially large withdrawals. Even former employees allegedly had their crypto assets locked, while the company also refused to pay employee compensation and delayed some salary payments.　　It can be said that BitMart has severely damaged its reputation this time — allegedly even betraying its own employees. If insiders cannot withdraw their funds, can ordinary users still expect to get their assets back？　　Even more controversially, some allegations claim that BitMarts executives are planning to move to WooxPro and repeat the same alleged fund-raising and exit strategy.　　A crypto blogger on X claimed that the BitMart incident has already been officially filed for investigation and is highly likely to be treated as a landmark case.　　Exposé on X (Source: @silencefisher)　　Users affected by BitMart‘s withdrawal restrictions have now begun organizing themselves and forming a “Debt Recovery Alliance” to demand the return of their assets. This matter is unlikely to end anytime soon.

A 12-Year Dormant Bitcoin “Ancient Whale” Makes an Emergency Move: Risk Avoidance or Being Hunted?

On August 4, 2026, late at night Beijing time, a strange ripple suddenly appeared beneath the surface of the crypto market.　　A Bitcoin address that had remained completely dormant since 2013 — 18TExP — suddenly became active. 500 BTC (worth approximately $31.3 million) were transferred the moment the transaction was confirmed on-chain. This wallet had been asleep for a staggering 12 years and 8 months, making it even older than the birth of Ethereum.　　500 BTC Transferred from the 18TExP Address (Source: CoinDesk)　　Just as people began speculating whether this was the reappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto himself, another far more chilling backdrop emerged: Coldcard, known as the “fortress” of Bitcoin hardware wallets, had just been exposed with a critical security vulnerability, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of BTC being stolen.　　The discovery process of this vulnerability further demonstrated both the power and the threat of AI. After the Coldcard team released a security advisory in late July, someone submitted the source code to Claude Code, an AI coding model, for review. The AI identified the exact line of code responsible for the randomness failure in just eight minutes.　　The revival of an ancient Bitcoin whale and the fatal Coldcard wallet vulnerability happened

August Crypto Market Calendar: Will the “July Up, August Down” Curse Return? Will BTC Start with “5”

Bitcoin closed July with an approximate 7.26% gain (according to Binance data), injecting a much-needed boost of confidence into a market that had remained sluggish for an extended period. However, as the calendar turns to August, a long-standing “curse” in the crypto market begins to resurface — August has historically been one of Bitcoins worst-performing months. As shown below:　　Summary:August has historically been one of Bitcoins weakest-performing months. Over the past 13 years, BTC recorded 5 monthly gains and 8 monthly declines in August. The median return was -6.99%, making August the only month with a negative median return among all calendar months.　　Looking back at historical data, July has long been regarded as one of Bitcoin‘s stronger-performing months, often featuring a pattern of an early-month pullback followed by a rapid recovery. However, for investors, the key question is: after July’s rally, will August become a month of profit-taking and market correction？　　A market saying that has circulated for years is: “July pumps, August dumps.”　　Will this seasonal pattern repeat itself in 2026？ Can Bitcoin continue pushing toward new highs, or will it face another round of deep correction？　　The more direct question is: By the end of August, will Bitcoin hold above the $50,000

High Fed Rates Trigger Crisis Fears: Is the Global Economy Breaking Down? Will Crypto Crash Again?

At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 30, the Federal Reserves interest rate decision was announced: the Fed kept rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, marking the fifth consecutive meeting this year in which it has held rates steady.　　Starting from July 2023, when the Federal Reserve completed 11 rate hikes and raised interest rates from near-zero levels to 5.25%–5.50%, the Fed has maintained a high-rate environment for 36 months. Historically, during the previous tightening cycle (2004–2006), the Feds peak interest rate level lasted only around 24 months before the 2008 financial crisis erupted.　　Todays interest rate curve shows striking similarities to the period before the 2008 crisis, as illustrated in the chart below:　　Federal Reserve Interest Rates Since the 21st Century (Source: Macromicro)　　Among the 15 major financial crises over the past century, 12 occurred within one year after the Federal Reserve entered a rate-hiking cycle. The current high-interest-rate environment has already lasted 36 months, far exceeding the historical 18-month critical cycle, meaning delayed impacts have been accumulating for a long time.　　Now, as the “canary in the coal mine” of global financial markets, South Koreas stock market has triggered full-market circuit breakers nine times this year. In July alone, it plunged approximately 33%, marking the

Is Bittam Safe? Inside the 3.06-Rated Exchange and Its "100% Bonus"

The Bittam Exchange Mystery: With a Score of 3.06 and a 6-Month-Old Domain, Who is Paying for the “100% Bonus”？　　Recently, a cryptocurrency trading platform named Bittam has attracted significant attention on social networks. Its high-profile promotions, featuring claims like “100% Bonus” and “Zero Slippage,” have drawn the eyes of many investors. However, after an analysis by the WikiBit investigation team combining on-chain data, third-party authoritative ratings, and user feedback, serious doubts have emerged regarding the platforms compliance, operational history, and fund security.　　I. The Commercial Logic Paradox: Feasibility Analysis of “Zero Slippage” and “100% Bonus”　　In Bittams core advertising, the most eye-catching elements are its promises of extreme trading conditions.　　(Image Note: Bittams official promotion promising “Zero Slippage” and “100% Deposit Bonus”)　　From the underlying logic of financial derivatives trading, these promises present a clear commercial paradox:Regarding “Zero Slippage”: In a real liquidity market (such as one connecting to the market via ECN or STP models), price volatility inevitably leads to slippage. Promising “Zero Slippage” usually implies that the platform does not route orders to the real market but instead adopts a “Market Maker (MM)” model to bet against users, potentially even manipulating K-line data in the backend.Regarding “100% Bonus”: Bittam claims “Deposit and
