In Khmelnitsky region exposed a group that organized a fraudulent scheme to attract investments in their own cryptocurrency. Cyberpolice together with investigators of the State Department of National Security and Investigations and cyber specialists of the USBU said that the attackers took possession of digital assets of citizens of Ukraine, European countries and the Middle East.
To promote the scheme, the suspects created themed communities in Telegram, where they demonstrated fake incomes and lifestyles to encourage users to invest.
After purchasing tokens, investors lost the ability to manage their assets. The fraudsters laundered the proceeds through specialized anonymous services and cashed them out.
Law enforcers conducted searches in Khmelnytskyi and Kyiv. During the investigative actions seized:
- computer equipment and cold wallets;
- rough notes confirming illegal activities;
- elite cars.
It is known about five victims from Ukraine. The organizer and three participants of the scheme were reported on suspicion under part 4 of article 190 and part 3 of article 362 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The maximum penalty — up to eight years of imprisonment.
We shall remind you that in July 2025, an international scheme of cryptocurrency-related fraud was exposed in Ukraine.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council
The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift: Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix.

They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
