2023-02-22 13:55:06 Bitcoin network-fork froze coins of Russian criminals

On February 12, a court in the U.S. state of Illinois ordered the blocking of cryptocurrency belonging to Russian criminals.

The court considered a lawsuit filed by blockchain developers JuratBTC against criminals acting independently or in the ranks of criminal groups. Among the defendants were employees of Hydra, a darknet market that was shut down last year, members of CHATEX, a Russian digital asset extortion ring, and hacker Anton Andreev, who allegedly interfered in the U.S. election.

Judge Virginia Kendall granted JuratBTC's motion and ordered the freezing of Jurat coins (JTC), which are stored on several dozen wallets belonging to the criminals. Kendall did not fine the defendants, admitting that they are located in states that are "hostile to the United States," so it is unlikely that the perpetrators will be able to recover money.

As a fork, the JuratBTC blockchain copied all of the data stored on the bitcoin network as of January 8, 2022. Accordingly, all BTC owners automatically received JTC coins. It was because of this that the attackers were in possession of the digital assets blocked by court order. Open / Comment

2023-02-21 17:49:21 Deutsche Bank has completed the testing phase of blockchain assets

Deutsche Bank (DBK) and Memento Blockchain have successfully completed testing the technological concept of Project DAMA (Digital Assets Management Access). This program envisaged an efficient, secure and flexible solution for digital fund management and investment servicing.

Deutsche Bank's report stated that the project addresses the challenges of launching and accessing digital funds. "This proof of concept was awarded a Financial Sector Technology and Innovation Monetary Authority of Singapore (FSTI) Proof of Concept (POC) grant dated August 5, 2022," said an unnamed German banking institution official.

Deutsche Bank said in the report that the fee was provided by the blockchain product Memento Domani, which is the issuer of the DEXTF token. The current market capitalization of this virtual asset was $12 million. Bank representatives noted that the process of launching and accessing cryptocurrency funds is not only time-consuming, but also expensive and risky. This factor discouraged many market participants, including most asset management companies and small institutional investors.

DAMA will act as a one-stop-shop for investments in digital funds. Asset managers and their agents, administrators, as well as custodians, will be able to connect to them seamlessly. This will significantly reduce organizational effort and monetary costs.

As of 4:25 p.m. Moscow time on February 21, 2023, the virtual currency bitcoin (BTC) was quoted at $24,649. The market capitalization of digital gold reached $475.67 million and trading volumes for the day reached $28.72 billion. Open / Comment

What happened? Over the past week, the native token of the blockchain-based decentralized file storage system Filecoin (FIL) has gained 79.41% in value.

In addition, on the eve of the launch of the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) from January 20 to February 10, the project community held its most successful developer hackathon ever. More than 1,000 participants from 82 countries submitted 279 projects.

Filecoin launched in 2017 and raised a record $257 million in its initial public offering (ICO).

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and its index partner CF Benchmarks began publishing daily price indices for FIL, AVAX and Tezos tokens on Oct. 31. According to TokenUnlocks, $4.9 billion worth of FIl tokens will be unlocked in 2023 Open / Comment

2023-02-18 17:25:46 FTX Japan will start paying customers in February

FTX Japan has sent out notices to its customers that they will be able to confirm their bank accounts and transfer funds to Liquid's payment platform on the company's platform. This will be a preliminary action to withdraw funds.

"We are confident that we will be able to launch withdrawals this month and we will try to do it as quickly as possible. Sometimes we work 7 days a week and stay late into the night to make withdrawals transparent, honest and accurate," said FTX Japan COO Seth Melamed.

FTX Japan began beta testing the refund process in early February to streamline it and make it easier for its 35,000 users. Full-fledged deposit withdrawals will begin once the company has sufficient data on balance rollovers and the process is approved by regulators.

Recall that the exchange FTX owned more than 130 units and affiliates around the world. In January, a U.S. court approved the sale of four companies, including FTX Japan. It is possible that the Japanese exchange will be bought by broker Monex. Open / Comment

2023-02-17 20:40:44 Bitcoin failed to stay above $24,000

Bitcoin broke above $24,000 in the middle of the week. The coin was trading at its highest values since last August.

However, it failed to break resistance around $25,000.

The BTC surge was the result of a sharp improvement in sentiment in the camp of traders. The increase in appetite for risk is evidenced by the jump in the crypto-fear and greed index to 62 points.

Investors were expecting more impressive performance from bitcoin in the coming days. However, after the resumption of selling in stock markets, the negativity returned to the cryptosphere as well.

Bitcoin failed to hold its position above $24,000 and began to decline. At the time of publication of this review, BTC was trading at $23,759.

Altcoins are also losing value. Ether has fallen to $1645. Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 1.5% to $0.397, $1.46 and $0.086 respectively.

CEO of Galaxy Digital Mike Novogratz believes that the Federal Reserve will be able to create conditions for the growth of stock markets in the near future. To do this, it needs to abandon its tight monetary policy.

If the stock markets begin to grow, bitcoin will also strengthen. The businessman doesn't rule out the possibility that BTC will reach $30,000 by the end of the first quarter. Open / Comment

2023-02-14 19:16:03 UK authorities have outlawed cryptocurrency operators

The FCA points out that all cryptocurrency companies operating in the UK are required to register and obtain regulatory approval in order to combat the laundering of illicit proceeds. The FCA explains that cryptocurrency ATM operators are classified as crypto-asset exchangers and must comply with local anti-money laundering regulations.

State authorities, based on the data collected, sent a warning to all unregistered cryptocurrency ATM operators about illegal activities.

The regulator draws attention that in case of non-compliance with the order, crypto ATM operators who violated the instruction will be punished with fines and their equipment will be dismantled.

The other day the UK Financial Services Authority said that the heads of cryptocurrency companies could face up to two years in prison for failing to comply with advertising requirements for their products and services. Open / Comment
