Dogecoin Loses $3.7 Billion in 10 Days

Dogecoin has had a rough end to April, seeing its price tumble and lose an estimated $3.7 billion in market cap in the last 10 days. The leading meme-coin asset is down to just over $0.13, tumbling two cents in the last 48 hours.

Looking beyond the price action, recent on-chain movements observed among Dogecoin miners suggest the downward trend could linger. Data from IntoTheBlock’s miner reserves chart suggests big swings in DOGE balances held in the custody of prominent Dogecoin mining firms. This indicates a selloff amongst holders, likely due to panic over Dogecoin’s profits. Due to this selloff, DOGE may even sink lower.

Effectively, Dogecoin miners flooded the markets with 70 million DOGE in the last 5 days. The newly offloaded coins are worth $9.5 million when valued at Tuesday’s prices. Without any spark, DOGE may fall below the crucial $12 support level.

Following the Bitcoin halving event, holders were optimistic that coins like DOGE would surge at the end of April, providing a fruitful May before the summer. However, BTC is barely trading above $60,000. This suggests that the entire market is in a downturn, and Dogecoin isn’t alone in its bearish momentum.

It will take a significant event to bring back bullish momentum for the asset. As much as holders are hoping for news of a $0.20 retest, it is just as likely that Dogecoin will crash to $0.10. At press time, the market cap for DOGE is down 6% just like its price.

Former SEC attorney John Reed Stark urges DOJ to ‘wake up’ and prosecute crypto-grifters

A former attorney of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) believes prosecution by the Department of Justice (DOJ) is necessary to deal with crypto grifters. John Reed Stark, who spent 15 years as an SEC enforcement attorney leading cyber-related investigations, says crypto criminals treat regulatory enforcement with levity. DOJ prosecution in crypto-related fraud cases was lacking compared to the numerous enforcement actions by the SEC, he wrote on X. The situation is “mind-boggling,” Stark added.

FBI alarms crypto victims as scammers impersonate venture capital executives on Telegram

Malicious actors have started targeting crypto victims on Telegram, luring them to believe they’re dealing with venture capital investors. Crypto scammers are distributing a malicious software impersonating legitimate venture capital (VC) investors on Telegram. In an X post on Monday, Dec. 4, 2023, Alexandre Masmejean, CEO of Showtime, a crypto marketplace for creators, said he was contacted by FBI agents from the Los Angeles department by phone, who strongly encouraged him to “turn off my WiFi, rotate my wallets, change all my passwords, move my files to a hard drive and entirely wipe out my compromised MacBook.” My experience with the FBI: a wake-up call to public-facing crypto people. “Hey, are you Alexandre Masmejean, CEO of Showtime Technologies, Inc? This is the FBI calling in from Los Angeles.” Last week I had a very strange call that surprised me so much I didn’t know whether I… pic.twitter.com/5TgkCcKfgr — Alex Masmej 🪙 (@AlexMasmej) December 3, 2023 Having verifi
