France has officially charged 25 individuals, including several minors, in connection with a series of crypto kidnappings targeting prominent industry figures. The suspects are alleged to have targeted high-profile crypto personalities like the family of Paymium CEO Pierre Noizat, according to French authorities who have detained 18 individuals pre-trial. The incident has raised concerns about the increasing vulnerability of cryptocurrency holders, particularly those holding major assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. So far, however, there have been no reports of major exchange withdrawals or liquidity disruptions, and market reactions remain muted. The investigation into potential market impacts continues.
