FTX: SBF's $250M Bond Guarantors Ordered To Be Made Public

FTX ’s demise caused massive disruption and a severe impact on the entire market. Justice was partially served after Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested. Yet, he was granted a whopping $250 million bail and is currently under house arrest. While his parents were part of this bond, the other two guarantors remained under wraps.

Binance blocks some accounts amid Bitzlato case: ‘Funds are safe’

Binance says it has already unblocked 90% of crypto accounts that were suspended due to the Bitzlato investigation. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has been silently shutting down multiple accounts on the platform in relation to the Bitzlato investigation, according to several users. On Jan. 18, a group of Russian-speaking Binance clients complained about blocked account s and not being able to withdraw their funds from the exchange. The affected users created a Telegram group chat to report about the issues, stating that the account s were blocked without a warning. The members of the group — now counting more than 1,000 members — promptly drew parallels between the blockages and enforcement action against the crypto firm Bitzlato by the United States Department of Justice. The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network also listed Binance among the top Bitcoin (BTC) counterparties of Bitzlato. Many chat members have openly admitted that they used Bitzlato, including incoming and outg...

We Must Expedite the Move From Centralized Services to Viable DeFi Alternatives

Image
There is a reason centralized exchanges have dominated despite being antithetical to crypto’s core tenets. The following opinion editorial was written by Bitcoin.com CEO Dennis Jarvis. The gross mismanagement and outright fraud in 2022 by many opaque centralized exchanges are driving people back to the core tenets of crypto, such as decentralization, self-custody, transparency, and censorship resistance. People are naturally turning to DeFi (decentralized finance). Unfortunately, much of DeFi is not yet ready to act as a suitable substitute. In this article, I will talk about two of the most important challenges: how to make DeFi more accessible to new users and how to improve its performance when compared to centralized services. The Onboarding Problem and Its Solution The problem with getting new users to adopt DeFi is partly due to user experience (UX). Bitcoin.com’s Head of Product Experience Alex Knight did an excellent job outlining the problems and solutions of the UX chal...

Nonetheless, Bitcoin has seen its most impressive gains percentage-wise in over a year, and hopes remain that the good times will endure. What could that depend on?
