US Attorneys Insist on Hostage Status for Binance Exec in Nigeria

A group of 18 US attorneys general has urged President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to secure the release of the Binance Executive Tigran Gambaryan, who is currently in custody in Nigeria.
The attorney general’s request follows the adjournment of Gambaryan’s trial in Nigeria due to his worsening health.
US Attorneys General Urges Biden to Designate Gambaryan as Hostage
In an October 18 letter, the group — led by Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes — called on President Biden and Secretary Blinken to officially classify Gambaryan as a hostage. They argue that his detention by Nigerian authorities qualifies under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act.
The attorneys voiced deep concerns about Gambaryan’s deteriorating health. They claimed that Nigerian authorities are holding him in one of the country’s most dangerous prisons, where he faces life-threatening conditions.
“Gambaryan’s life is in immediate danger. His health has severely deteriorated during his imprisonment — he has been denied treatment for multiple bouts of malaria and pneumonia, and his untreated herniated disc has left him immobile,” they wrote.

Reyes emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that Nigerian authorities are unlawfully holding Gambaryan in potentially deadly circumstances. He called the issue a humanitarian and patriotic concern rather than a political one.
“In our role as attorneys general, many of us have jurisdiction over criminal justice matters and are law enforcement leaders for our own communities. Tigran Gambaryan is one of these heroes in our world,” Reyes added.
Notably, the coalition also raised the possibility that Nigerian authorities may be using Gambaryan to leverage pressure on Binance. Due to this, the attorneys general urged the Biden administration to designate Gambaryan as a hostage. According to them, this move would unlock additional diplomatic resources to push for his release in Nigeria.
“The Levinson Act was designed specifically for cases like this, where US citizens are unlawfully detained for political or financial leverage. Tigran Gambaryan’s situation fits this profile, and the time to act is now — before this unlawful detention becomes a tragedy,” they wrote.

This letter was sent on the same day that a Nigerian High Court in Abuja postponed Gambaryan’s trial to October 25, citing his inability to attend court due to his health issues. His legal battle with Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dragged on since his detention in February. Gambaryan, along with Binance, is facing money laundering charges.
Meanwhile, Binance has maintained its willingness to cooperate with Nigeria but insisted that Gambaryan should be allowed to return home. Since his arrest, Gambaryan’s health has rapidly deteriorated, with reports of him suffering from malaria, pneumonia, tonsillitis, and a herniated disc that now confines him to a wheelchair.

Solana (SOL) Price Risks Dip Below $110 as Bears Gain Control

Solana (SOL) has dropped over 6% in the past seven days and has been trading below $150 since March 6. The current trend shows clear bearish signals across multiple indicators.
From a death cross to a rising ADX and a red Ichimoku Cloud, technicals suggest growing downside pressure. With SOL nearing key support, the next few days could be critical for its price direction.
SOL Ichimoku Cloud Paints A Bearish Picture
The Ichimoku Cloud chart for Solana shows a clear bearish structure, with price action trading below both the Kijun-sen (red line) and Tenkan-sen (blue line).
The Lagging Span (green line) is also positioned below the price candles and the cloud, reinforcing the negative outlook. The Kumo ahead is red and descending, suggesting that resistance remains strong in the near term.

Solana has struggled to break above short-term resistance levels and remains stuck in a downward channel. The thin nature of the current cloud suggests weak support, making the price vulnerable to further downside if bearish momentum continues.
For a reversal, Solana would need to break above the Kijun-sen and push decisively toward the cloud, but for now, the trend remains tilted to the downside.
Solana DMI Shows Sellers Are In Control
Solana’s DMI chart shows a sharp rise in the ADX, now at 40.87—up from 19.74 just three days ago.
The ADX (Average Directional Index) measures the strength of a trend, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend and values above 40 signaling a very strong one.
This surge confirms that the current downtrend in SOL is gaining momentum.

At the same time, the +DI has dropped from 17.32 to 8.82, while the -DI has climbed to 31.09, where it has held steady for the past two days.
This setup suggests that the sellers are firmly in control, and the downtrend is strong and also strengthening.
As long as the -DI remains dominant and ADX stays elevated, SOL is likely to remain under pressure in the short term.
Can Solana Drop Below $110 Soon?
Solana recently formed a death cross, a bearish signal where short-term moving averages cross below long-term ones.
It’s now approaching key support at $120—if that level breaks, Solana price could drop to $112, and possibly below $110 for the first time since February 2024.

If bulls step in and buying pressure returns, SOL could rebound toward resistance at $136.
A breakout above that level may lead to a push toward $147, which acted as strong resistance just five days ago.

Top 3 Made in USA Coins to Watch This Week

Made in USA coins are showing mixed signals as April begins, with XRP, SUI, and Pi Network (PI) standing out. XRP leads in market cap but also posted the biggest drop among the top 10, down 10.6% this week.
SUI is the only major gainer, up 3.8%, showing some strength despite broader weakness. Meanwhile, PI has been the worst performer, plunging over 23% and staying below $1 all week.
XRP
XRP is the largest Made in USA crypto by market cap, but it’s also down 10.6% over the last 7 days—the biggest drop among the top 10. This sharp correction could present an opportunity, especially with Trump’s “Liberation Day” event coming up on April 2.
If XRP builds an uptrend, it could push to test resistance at $2.22. A breakout there may lead to moves toward $2.47 and even $2.59 if momentum grows.

If the downtrend continues, XRP could revisit support at $2.06. A breakdown below that level might drag it further down to $1.90.
With volatility rising and a possible narrative shift on the horizon, XRP could be a key coin to watch this week.
SUI
SUI is the only among major Made in USA cryptos showing gains over the past week, up 3.8%, even though it’s still down 13% over the last 30 days. This resilience sets it apart from the rest of the pack.
In the last 24 hours, trading volume has dropped 15% to $767 million. The coin’s current market cap is $7.43 billion.

SUI’s EMA lines recently formed a death cross, hinting at a possible downtrend. If confirmed, the price could drop to $2.23, with further downside to $2.11 and $1.96.
If SUI manages to reverse the trend, it could climb toward $2.50. A breakout there would open the door to $2.83, nearly 20% higher from current levels.
Pi Network (PI)
Pi Network (PI) is the biggest loser among Made in USA cryptos this week, with its price down over 23% in the last seven days.
It has been trading below $1 throughout the entire week.

If sentiment shifts, PI could rebound toward resistance at $1.05. A breakout there might lead to a push-up to $1.23.
But if bearish pressure continues, PI could fall to test support at $0.718. A drop below that would send it to $0.62—its lowest level since February 21.
