And get this, the bad guys used USDT to launder the loot, transferring it to offshore wallets faster than you can say “digital wallet.” The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is on the case, working with the bank’s cybersecurity team, and they’re promising arrests “any day now.” 🕵️‍♂️💻

According to a blog post that could have been written by a particularly sardonic playwright, the blockchains to be affected are the Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP), Algorand, Kusama, and EOS. A veritable who’s who of the blockchain world, wouldn’t you say?

Analysts are pointing to some key price structures that could support an advance toward $0.68. And if we get a sustained breakout from current levels, we might just see a new short-term trend emerge 📈.
