first_img Coinbase participates in a joint operation in London to combat West African fraud networks

Cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase announced its participation in Tech Against Scams and is collaborating with the UK's National Crime Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice Scam Center Strike Force, and international law enforcement partners to launch a joint crackdown week in London from October 6 to 9, sharing intelligence in real-time and coordinating actions against West African criminal scam networks.Coinbase stated that the relevant scam networks operate across platforms, seeking potential victims through social media, establishing trust via instant messaging, and using digital infrastructure and financial services to transfer illicit funds. As law enforcement and the industry intensify their crackdown on Southeast Asian scam hubs, criminal networks are expanding to other regions, including West Africa. This operation is hosted by the UK's National Crime Agency, bringing together technology, telecommunications, and financial companies to target the infrastructure, accounts, and payment systems that support scams.Coinbase Vice President Leah Bressack: The earlier crackdown on Southeast Asian scam hubs this year proved that coordinated actions between the industry and law enforcement are effective; as criminal networks attempt to rebuild in Africa, Coinbase's global intelligence team is tracking funds, freezing assets, and sharing intelligence in real-time. The tactics targeted include fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scams, impersonating law enforcement officials, and using fake video calls to carry out "arrests" to pressure transfers. Coinbase stated it will continue to collaborate with Tech Against Scams and law enforcement partners.

first_img Evernorth partners with Ripple, Kraken, Coinbase, and BitGo to deploy a $648 million XRP treasury

According to The Block, Evernorth, which holds an XRP treasury and is listed on Nasdaq, announced that it will begin deploying its XRP holdings through an "institutional strategy" starting in the fourth quarter, with initial partners including Ripple and cryptocurrency exchanges Kraken, Coinbase, and BitGo.The company currently holds 473 million XRP, valued at approximately $648 million at current prices. Two days before this announcement, Evernorth began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN after completing a deSPAC merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II.Founder and CEO Asheesh Birla stated that the company is putting its treasury to work and is choosing to start with strong institutional trading counterparts within the industry. Evernorth's goal is to generate returns from its XRP holdings and increase the per-share holdings, rather than simply pursuing accumulation; the announcement did not specify how much XRP will be deployed. The company also plans to expand into lending and on-chain DeFi strategies once relevant features on the XRP Ledger are available.This strategy is led by newly appointed Chief Investment Officer Hugo Jeandesboz, who previously served as Co-Chief Investment Officer at Coinbase Asset Management. Jeandesboz stated that this requires a set of treasury strategies, a risk framework, and counterparties that can be clearly explained to the board of directors of the listed company. The XRPN stock price has remained relatively flat since opening at $16.68 on Monday, closing at $16.48 on Tuesday, and slightly rising to $16.6 in after-hours trading.
