David Prinçay, CEO of Binance France, recently became the target of a frightening early-morning home invasion, another reminder of the growing real-world risks tied to crypto wealth.

At approximately 7 a.m., three masked individuals forced their way into his apartment building. Reports indicate they initially entered the wrong unit, apparently searching for Prinçay’s residence. After locating the correct apartment, they discovered that Prinçay and his family were not present. Unable to confront their intended target, the attackers stole two mobile phones before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, Prinçay and his family were safe and unharmed.

Disturbingly, this incident is not an isolated event. France has experienced a troubling rise in crypto-related kidnappings and home invasions, signaling a shift from purely digital threats to physical violence.

One of the most shocking cases occurred in January 2025, when David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, was kidnapped from his home in Méreau.

The attackers demanded €10 million in cryptocurrency as ransom. To intensify pressure and demonstrate their seriousness, they severed one of Balland’s fingers. French authorities ultimately intervened and rescued him, but only after a portion of the ransom had already been paid.

This incident underscored a harsh reality: crypto wealth doesn’t just attract hackers operating behind screens, it also attracts organized criminals willing to use physical force. In the crypto world, this type of crime is commonly referred to as a “wrench attack,” where attackers bypass technical security entirely by targeting the individual directly.

Below, we’ve outlined several other high profile crypto kidnappings that took place across France between 2025 and 2026 👇🏻

Today's global economic and political landscape reveals tensions that could ripple through investment markets, including cryptocurrency. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's landslide election victory underscores the limits of Chinese economic coercion, amid escalating disputes over Taiwan and export controls on rare earths. This geopolitical friction has boosted Japanese equities, with the Nikkei surpassing 58,000, signaling investor confidence in fiscal reforms but potential volatility in global supply chains. In Europe, the EU grapples with market competitiveness issues, while Middle East feuds threaten regional stability, potentially driving safe-haven flows into crypto amid U.S. tariff uncertainties and India trade deals. The ongoing Munich Security Conference, starting today, may amplify discussions on these fronts, influencing investor sentiment.

These developments heighten crypto's appeal as a hedge against traditional market instability. Turning to standout projects, Avalanche (AVAX) continues advancing its high-performance blockchain with recent integrations like Fosun Wealth's yield-bearing RWA stablecoin, emphasizing real-world asset tokenization. Its Retro9000 grant program rewards developers for boosting transactions, while a $1M builder competition fosters game development on the platform. Polkadot (DOT) is evolving through Polkadot 2.0, introducing agile coretime for better scalability and a hard cap of 2.1 billion tokens to enhance scarcity. Recent upgrades enable native smart contracts and faster transactions, paving the way for the JAM protocol as a decentralized supercomputer. Chainlink (LINK) solidifies its oracle dominance by powering institutional tokenization standards, collaborating with Swift and Euroclear for seamless TradFi-DeFi bridges. Upgrades like Chainlink 2.0 and staking v2 improve data reliability and network security, positioning it at the forefront of the $867T tokenization opportunity.

Investors should monitor these tech advancements amid global shifts for strategic positioning.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s pulse!
