KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kuala Lumpur-As Malaysia Blockchain Week 2025 (MYBW) ushers in a new era of digital commerce across Southeast Asia, Cregis, a global leader in enterprise-grade crypto infrastructure, reaffirmed its commitment to empowering businesses to lead the future with secure, efficient digital asset solutions—including self-custodial wallets, payments engine, and modular infrastructure that fuels innovation.

Southeast Asia Bridges Crypto Innovation and Regulation

The digital asset revolution in Southeast Asia is accelerating, often outpacing legacy regulatory frameworks. As fintech platforms and regional remittance providers seek future-ready solutions, the need for infrastructure that supports real-time adaptability while ensuring uninterrupted operations has never been more critical.

Infrastructure Takes Center Stage in Southeast Asia’s Blockchain Shift

Participating as a Silver Partner at MYBW 2025, Cregis contributed to a key expert panel titled: “Fixing the Gaps: Can Regulation Keep Up with Digital Asset Disruption?” During the discussion, Eric, Cregis’s Business Development Director for APAC, highlighted how increasing regulatory clarity is shaping a more stable digital asset ecosystem.

“Leading jurisdictions like Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UAE have established regulatory frameworks that offer clear guidelines for innovation,” Eric noted. “Compliance-ready infrastructure is no longer optional—it’s essential. Cregis is here to help businesses meet regulatory expectations while scaling operations with confidence.”

Why Infrastructure-First Matters: Building Systems That Scale

While much of the crypto industry has prioritised flashy features, Cregis continues to advocate for a foundation-first approach.

“You can’t build stability on sand,” Eric added. “Enterprises need infrastructure that supports everything—from workflow automation to audit trails—so they don’t pay the price in technical debt down the road.”

Cregis’s platform, built on 8 years of operational stability, delivers secure asset control, automated operations, and flexible integration through its MPC wallet system and robust API stack. Whether clients need a full-stack ecosystem or specific modules like TronGas, Cregis adapts to enterprise needs without added complexity.

Looking Beyond 2025: The Rise of Unified Digital Asset Platforms

Cregis believes the future lies in unified ecosystems that bring together custody, compliance, and crypto payments under one secure platform. At Malaysian Blockchain Week, the company is highlighting how its modular suite spanning Wallet-as-a-Service, Payment Engine, and Crypto Cards is helping real-world businesses from forex platforms to retail merchants streamline operations without sacrificing control or security. As part of its 2025 roadmap, Cregis will continue expanding its capabilities in infrastructure orchestration.

Crypto igaming platform accelerates its push into esports with the signing of one of Counter-Strike’s all-time greats

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BC.GAME has officially announced the signing of Ukrainian superstar Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev in a long-term deal. He joins BC.GAME Esports as a core member of its CS2 roster, marking a major step in the platform’s expansion into top-tier competitive gaming.

The signing highlights BC.GAME’s continued investment in esports and its ambition to connect the worlds of decentralized gaming and elite competition.

Power Move in the CS2 Arena
BC.GAME Esports has already made waves by claiming the CCT Season 2 EU Series title and securing a top-14 position in the region. The addition of s1mple — widely considered the most dominant player in Counter-Strike history — is expected to propel the team into top-tier events like IEM and BLAST.

With over 20 MVP medals, a Major title, and more than a decade of top-level performance, s1mple brings not just skill, but global visibility and credibility to the BC.GAME brand.

A Long-Term Vision for Esports
BC.GAME continues to build a long-term esports ecosystem, with plans to grow its roster, deepen its tournament presence, and cement its role at the intersection of crypto and competitive gaming.

For BC.GAME, signing s1mple is just the beginning. Over the past few months, the platform has quietly built multiple CS2 divisions, with players spread across Eastern Europe, Brazil, and even Asia. 

BC.GAME is already planning to launch its own esports brand system and is even exploring partnerships with established esports management teams to develop a more professional operating model. From betting platforms to the esports arena, BC.GAME clearly isn’t here to play around—it wants to establish a firm foothold and become the next-generation traffic powerhouse.

Ripple’s XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) has become the latest cryptocurrency in the spotlight—not for innovation, but for the growing storm of XRP scams that have rocked its community and rattled investor confidence. In July 2025, the XRP price dropped 10.34% following revelations that impersonation scams targeting XRP holders have cost investors an estimated $2.1 billion. Ripple Labs is now scrambling to contain the fallout, enhancing security protocols and calling for stronger enforcement as scam tactics grow increasingly sophisticated.

Deepfake Threats and Fake Giveaways on the Rise

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has issued repeated public warnings about fraudulent videos, deepfake impersonations, and fake XRP giveaways circulating on platforms like YouTube and X. Many of these XRP scams convincingly mimic Ripple’s official branding, often tricking even savvy investors into surrendering personal information or crypto assets.

Garlinghouse has urged community members—often referred to as the “XRP Army”—to stay vigilant, report suspicious accounts, and avoid engaging with any offer promising free XRP in exchange for small deposits. These scams not only harm individual investors but also erode trust in XRP itself, leading to greater volatility.

Ripple Tightens Security Amid $2.1 Billion in Losses

In response to the crisis, Ripple has taken measurable steps to mitigate further damage. The company has upgraded wallet security protocols, partnered with top cybersecurity firms, and is deploying AI-powered monitoring systems to detect fraudulent activity in real-time. Despite these efforts, scammers are evolving rapidly, now using artificial intelligence to create deepfakes that imitate Ripple executives with uncanny accuracy.

Ripple has also intensified community outreach to educate users about red flags and how to verify official communication. Community figures like MackAttackXRP have amplified these warnings, urging the XRP Army to practice “collective vigilance” in combating the rising tide of fraud.

DOJ Crypto Seizure Reveals Broader Enforcement Challenges

The rise in XRP scams reflects a broader systemic issue in crypto regulation. In a recent case unrelated to Ripple, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) seized $7.1 million in crypto assets linked to a fraudulent oil and gas investment scheme. While that case didn’t involve XRP, it underscores how cross-border anonymity in blockchain transactions complicates asset tracing and recovery.

The DOJ’s actions point to a potential shift toward proactive enforcement. However, critics note that the recovery rate remains low—just a fraction of the $97 million stolen was returned to victims. These cases illustrate the limits of existing legal tools in an ecosystem designed around decentralization and pseudonymity.

Market Impact: XRP Price Volatility and Investor Sentiment

The combination of scam activity and a broader liquidity crunch contributed to the 10.34% price drop in XRP during July 2025. Analysts point to shaken investor confidence, especially among retail holders who have suffered significant losses. At the same time, uncertainty around global regulatory approaches to crypto fraud continues to put downward pressure on XRP.

Ripple’s leadership is attempting to stabilize sentiment by emphasizing long-term growth and transparency. But for many investors, the damage is already done. Rebuilding trust will take time and coordinated action from the private sector, regulators, and the broader crypto community.

Community Action Is the Best Defense

While Ripple boosts security and regulators pursue criminals, the community remains the first line of defense. Garlinghouse and other leaders are calling on XRP supporters to double down on reporting suspicious content and educating newcomers about the dangers of XRP scams.

As Ripple works to reinforce its legitimacy in a volatile crypto landscape, the battle against impersonation fraud is far from over. It will take collective vigilance, improved technology, and international cooperation to reduce crypto’s attractiveness to bad actors.

Until then, XRP scams remain one of the biggest threats to the digital asset’s future—and a cautionary tale for the entire cryptocurrency industry.

PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL, ETR:2PP) is diving deeper into the cryptocurrency space with the launch of Pay with Crypto, a groundbreaking new service that enables U.S.-based merchants to accept payments in over 100 cryptocurrencies. This move marks a major step forward in the company’s strategy to modernize digital commerce and make cross-border transactions faster and cheaper through PayPal crypto payments.

A Game-Changer for Cross-Border Payments

Rolling out in the coming weeks, Pay with Crypto supports a wide range of digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Solana (SOL). The service charges a flat 0.99% transaction fee—substantially lower than traditional international payment methods, which can run as high as 5% or more.

Merchants using PayPal’s new crypto payment solution will receive instant conversions of the digital assets into either fiat currencies or stablecoins, providing them with real-time settlement and protection from crypto price volatility. By cutting international payment fees by up to 90%, PayPal aims to attract businesses seeking to lower costs and streamline global commerce.

Broad Integration Through Major Wallets

To ensure wide accessibility, PayPal’s service integrates with major crypto wallets, including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Binance Wallet. This broad compatibility makes PayPal crypto payments easier to adopt for merchants and consumers already operating within the crypto ecosystem.

This development aligns with a growing trend among fintech giants that are embracing decentralized finance and blockchain as key components of their future offerings. By becoming crypto-compatible, PayPal is positioning itself at the intersection of digital finance and traditional e-commerce.

Why PayPal Is Making This Move Now

The company estimates that over 650 million people worldwide currently hold cryptocurrency—a number that continues to grow. The global crypto market is valued at approximately $3 trillion, and PayPal sees enormous potential in enabling more seamless and affordable transactions using these assets.

The launch of Pay with Crypto follows the recent debut of PayPal World, a new platform integrating five leading digital wallets to simplify international money transfers. These back-to-back announcements make it clear that PayPal is going all-in on digital asset integration, and PayPal crypto payments are set to become a key pillar of the company’s global strategy.

Implications for PYPL Stock

For investors, this move may signal a turning point in PayPal’s growth narrative. After facing stiff competition from Block Inc. (NYSE:SQ), Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), and other fintech players, PayPal is reasserting itself as a pioneer in financial innovation.

Although PYPL stock has struggled in recent months, the company’s aggressive push into crypto could reignite investor interest. Analysts will be watching closely to see how quickly the new service gains traction among merchants and what kind of transaction volumes it generates.

By offering a unique value proposition—low fees, fast settlement, and broad crypto support—PayPal is attempting to carve out a niche that bridges the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.

The Future of PayPal Crypto Payments

With PayPal crypto payments, the company isn’t just facilitating purchases—it’s helping legitimize cryptocurrency as a mainstream payment method. If successful, this rollout could inspire a wave of adoption among both small businesses and large enterprises seeking to reduce costs and tap into global markets.

In the long term, this move could also pave the way for PayPal to introduce new services such as crypto lending, digital ID verification, and DeFi-style savings tools. For now, though, all eyes are on how well U.S. merchants respond to the company’s latest offering.

As the lines between fiat and digital currencies continue to blur, PayPal crypto payments may well be a critical part of the future of commerce—and a new growth engine for the fintech giant.
