- The Silicon Valley-based firm launched its lending and borrowing service in March this year, allowing its claimed global 1 million customers to use their crypto holdings as collateral for loans of fiat currency.

Telegram Ring Ran Pump-and-Dump Network That Netted $800K in a Month: Solidus Labs
A Solidus Labs investigation details how an invite-only Telegram group used bots, fake narratives and rapid token deployments across Solana and BNB Chain to manipulate markets.
What to know:
- PumpCell orchestrated synchronized token launches, sniper-bot buys and meme-driven hype campaigns to inflate micro-cap tokens to seven-figure valuations within minutes, according to a new forensic investigation by Solidus Labs.
- The group generated an estimated $800,000 in October 2025, moving funds through centralized exchanges and an OTC cash broker to allegedly evade compliance controls.
- Solidus says crypto’s AMM-driven markets, bot execution and cross-chain pseudonymity make such schemes difficult for legacy monitoring tools to detect — and warns PumpCell reflects a broader, evolving pattern of digital-asset abuse.
