WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking Episode 5: Tapbit — A “One MSB Sticker Fits All” Exchange, the Borderless Casino on France’s AMF Blacklist

Introduction: A “Schrödinger‘s Compliance” Exchange　　In the first four episodes, we investigated HashKey (the compliance top student), HTX (a sanctions hotspot), UZX (a DAO penny-stock style project), and Phemex (a team built by former Morgan Stanley elites). Today’s subject is even more controversial — Tapbit.　　Its official website describes itself as a “borderless crypto platform,” with a slogan that sounds ambitious. But on the other side, Frances financial regulator AMF has placed Tapbit on its blacklist, while WikiBit rates it 4.98/10, categorizing it as a “high-risk concern.”　　An exchange that claims trading volumes comparable to major platforms, yet receives only a 4.98 risk score from a compliance evaluation platform？ The contrast is more extreme than any exchange we have analyzed before.　　Today, well dig into Tapbit layer by layer.1.

Phantom drops Sui support as the network struggles to regain momentum

On the 24th of September, Phantom will cease its support for the Sui blockchain, providing its customers with a couple of weeks to transfer their $SUI and eliminating a platform that allowed users to enter one of the most talked-about Layer 1 solutions of 2025. 　　As mentioned by the Sui Foundation, when Phantom initiated support for Sui, the wallet boasted of having 15 million active users every month.　　The announcement comes as Suis price has now sunk much lower than it had been in the past. According to the data from DefiLlama, the amount of money trapped in the blockchain altogether is now $470.38 million, while the $SUI price is around $0.83, with the whole market capitalization of the coin near $3.4 billion.　　This is a significant decline from over $2 billion in TVL when Phantom introduced Sui and from the all-time high of $5.36, which was recorded back in January 2025.　　Two ways out before the transition date　　Phantom is giving holders two options, both detailed in a company help page.　　The first option is to stay in Phantom and convert. Users are able to convert $SUI into wrapped $SUI on Solana, and Phantom does not charge its own fee for this cross-chain conversion

Transferring Delisted Tokens: 16 of 21 Kraken Assets Have No Fallback Exchange

Anyone holding one of the 21 tokens that Krakenis removing from trading has until 27 August 2026, 14:00 UTCto withdraw them. After that the exchange closes withdrawals, and between 1 and 5 September it sells the remaining balances itself. The practical question is therefore not whether you have to act, but where you can send the tokens at all. We counted it up. The result: for 16 of the 21 tokens, none of the five European venues we checked listed a deposit option on 21 August 2026. Anyone who wants to keep those holdings cannot avoid a wallet of their own.　　What does Krakens 27 August withdrawal deadline mean for you？　　Kraken announced the delisting cycle on 14 May 2026 and has worked through it in three stages since. On 29 May at 14:00 UTC the exchange switched off trading and deposits for the affected assets. Since then the tokens can only be withdrawn. That last door closes on 27 August at 14:00 UTC.　　According to the exchange, the assets affected are AURA, BIT, BOND, BSX, FARM, GARI, K, KET, KINTO, LOBO, MOON, MV, NYM, RAIIN, RHEA, SAROS, SDN, SPC, SPICE, TEA and TEER. The list comes from the exchanges own delisting notice,

Bitcoin crash forced Riot to pledge 1,825 BTC, but this huge rally may now free up 1,500 BTC

Riot Platforms entered 2026 with 3,977 $BTC pledged against a $200 million Coinbase loan. Bitcoin then fell far enough that the agreement required another 1,825 $BTC, taking the collateral balance to 5,802 in February.　　Those coins still belonged to Riot and sat in a segregated custody account under Coinbases lien. Riot couldnt deploy them elsewhere while they protected the loan, so the selloff restricted more of its treasury at the same time its core asset was weak.　　Now that mechanism is reversing. Bitcoins three-day rally carried it close to $78,000, its highest price in three months. If Riots latest disclosed balance of 5,821 pledged $BTC hasnt moved, the collateral is worth about $454 million, and the loan-to-value ratio has fallen to roughly 44.1%.　　That level is below the release line in two of the three schedules written into Riots loan. CryptoSlate calculates that the rally could place between 1,159 $BTC and 1,547 $BTC above the amount needed to reset the facility, depending on which schedule applies. The strictest schedule allows no release near $78,000.　　Riot hasnt disclosed a current release request, and its filings dont establish which schedule Coinbase is using. The calculation shows that Bitcoins price can alter how much of a miners

Riot Platforms Could Reclaim Up to 1,547 BTC From Coinbase Loan Collateral as Bitcoin Rebounds

Riot Platforms, one of the largest U.S. Bitcoin mining companies, may be positioned to recover as much as 1,547 $BTC from additional collateral it posted during a loan agreement with Coinbase, according to a recent analysis. The potential recovery follows a rebound in Bitcoin‘s price, which has improved the loan-to-value ratio of the collateral backing the company’s $200 million credit facility.　　Background: Riot‘s Collateral Pledge and Bitcoin’s Decline　　At the start of the year, Riot pledged 3,977 $BTC to secure the loan from Coinbase. As Bitcoin‘s price fell in February, the company deposited an additional 1,825 $BTC, bringing the total pledged collateral to over 5,800 $BTC. The move was designed to maintain the loan’s collateral requirements amid market volatility.　　Bitcoin‘s recent rebound to approximately $78,000 has raised the value of the pledged collateral, reducing the loan-to-value ratio to about 44%. Based on the loan’s terms, an estimated 1,159 to 1,547 $BTC now exceeds the required collateral level and could be returned to Riot. However, it remains unconfirmed whether Riot has formally requested the return, and the final amount would depend on Coinbases calculation.　　Implications for Riot and the Mining Sector　　If Riot reclaims the excess $BTC, it would strengthen the company‘s balance sheet and provide

Ethereum‘s breakout gains credibility – 3 metrics support ETH’s $3K bid

Ethereum [$ETH] reclaimed $2,500 after several days of aggressive bullish momentum, strengthening its short-term market structure.　　On the 21st of August, the daily candle closed above this key supply zone.

However, the breakout needs demand beyond price momentum alone.　　What is driving Ethereum demand？　　Ethereums Coinbase Premium Index surged 60%, indicating stronger U.S. buying relative to other markets.　　Source: CryptoQuant　　Continued Premium Index growth could confirm that Spot demand supported the rally.　　On top of that, Fund Holdings reached a weekly high of 5.8 million $ETH.

CFTC chair says agency will move forward on crypto regulation if CLARITY fails

Michael Selig, who chairs the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), signaled that the agency would not be idle while Congress continued to debate provisions in a cryptocurrency market structure bill.　　In prepared remarks for the inaugural meeting of the CFTCs Innovation Advisory Committee on Thursday, Selig said that the commission would move forward on crypto regulations even in the absence of the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act being passed by lawmakers, adding it would “help [Donald Trump] deliver if Congress will not.” According to the chair, he had already directed staff to allow registered and non-registered entities to offer “crypto asset trading on a leveraged or margined basis” and explore developer protections.　　“We‘re going to give CLARITY its breathing room for a vote, but if the Democrats cannot support a bipartisan work product, which reflects compromises from both sides of the aisle, and ultimately send a fair version of the bill to the President’s desk, then rest assured, I will direct CFTC staff to move swiftly to propose these new rules for the industry,” said Selig.　　The market structure bill is effectively paused until the US Senate returns to session in September, when Majority Leader John Thune is expected to hold

Shares of Bitcoin miners and digital asset treasury companies surged toward the end of the week, tracking a broader rally across crypto markets after the US Treasury announced it would double certain long-dated bond buybacks — a move aimed at supporting liquidity in the Treasury market that also helped bolster risk appetite.　　Bitcoin (BTC) miner Canaan led crypto-related stocks on Friday, rising more than 25%. MARA Holdings edged higher after gaining nearly 16% during Thursdays session.　　Strive, which holds more than 20,000 Bitcoin (BTC) on its balance sheet, jumped more than 16% on Friday. Japan-listed Metaplanet, which recently expanded its Bitcoin treasury strategy by acquiring Nasdaq-listed Super League Enterprise, also gained more than 16%.　　Shares of crypto exchange Coinbase and brokerage platform Robinhood posted double-digit percentage gains, underscoring how BTCs recovery spilled over into publicly traded companies with direct exposure to digital assets.　　Crypto-related stocks were rallying as Bitcoin extended its weekly gain to more than 23% on Friday, briefly topping $79,000, according to CoinMarketCap data. Ether (ETH) gained nearly 30% over the same period, climbing above $2,400.　　Related: Crypto Biz: Treasury‘s ’Not-QE playbook sends Bitcoin higher　　Trump adds regulatory tailwinds to crypto rally　　Digital asset markets also drew support from comments by US President Donald Trump

Ray Dalio says to buy ‘a bit’ of Bitcoin amid potential debt crisis

The founder of the Bridgewater Associates hedge fund, Ray Dalio, called on investors to put money into gold and “a bit of Bitcoin” in response to a looming debt crisis.　　In a Friday LinkedIn post, Dalio said having between 10% to 15% of ones portfolio in gold could help reduce risk. He advocated for gold and Bitcoin (BTC) as assets to be overweight compared to debt assets like bonds, citing risks from “internal political and external geopolitical conflicts.”　　“My guess, which I suppose will be a bad one, is that [a US debt crisis] will come in three years, give or take two, if the course were on is not changed,” said Dalio.　　The Bridgewater Associates founder, with an estimated net worth of more than $15 billion, has previously argued that Bitcoin could not replace gold as a store of value and warned about privacy concerns and threats from quantum computing. His Friday comments echoed those from July 2025, when he said he held some, “but not much” Bitcoin, and recommended holding up to 15% in the cryptocurrency and gold.　　In 2022, months before a significant crypto market downturn, Dalio said that holding between 1% to 2% of BTC in ones portfolio was “reasonable.”　　Related:
