The crypto market saw significant activity, with Binance announcing a substantial $400 million to $728 million relief package, including $300 million in USDC, to address the recent USDe depeg and support its ecosystem. Regulatory focus intensified as Japan considered expanding insider trading laws to cryptocurrencies, potentially impacting Bitcoin markets, while the US DOJ seized a record $12 billion in Bitcoin from a global 'pig butchering' scam. Major altcoins experienced mixed signals; XRP options went live on CME, boosting institutional access, yet it faced whale selling pressure and a 'death cross' versus Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself remained stable at 0% change, while BNB saw a 5x volume spike despite a -0.16% dip, and Dogecoin attempted stabilization after a flash crash.
