🥶 Mt. Gox transfers 140,000 BTC 🟠 Bitcoin ETN - French pension plans ⚡ Craig Wright faces perjury charges 🔴 Trump’s VP pick - Pro Bitcoin?
🚨 On July 16, Mt. Gox moved over 140,000 Bitcoin (BTC), worth nearly $9 billion, to a known cold wallet and two unknown addresses, raising market concerns. According to Arkham Intelligence, Mt. Gox still holds 138,985 BTC, valued at around $8.7 billion, and started mobilizing funds after two weeks of inactivity. Details here https://lnkd.in/dSgzErr9 Power of Open Blockchain!
- Almost 96,000 BTC (over $6 billion) were shifted to unknown wallets, while 44,527 BTC went to a known Mt. Gox cold wallet. In total, nearly 190,000 BTC worth over $12 billion was moved within three hours.
- One unknown address, received 42,587 BTC worth $2.69 billion, and another 4,641.24 BTC worth $293.94 million was transferred to the Mt. Gox cold wallet. This address has not yet moved the BTC, causing market sentiment to shift and BTC value to drop. Additionally, 48,641 BTC ($3.07 billion) was sent to another unknown address from the main Mt. Gox wallet.
🟠 Bitcoin exchange-traded note
- VanEck has teamed up with Inter Invest to introduce the first bitcoin exposure through a French pension savings plan using its bitcoin exchange-traded note (ETN). The $407 million VanEck Bitcoin ETN (VBTC) will now be available to French Pension Savings Plan (PER) investors, making it the first digital asset accessible to them. While VanEck has warned investors about the volatility of cryptocurrencies, they view Bitcoin as an innovative long-term asset. Info via ETF Stream here https://t.ly/_uvfQ
- Does it help the Bitcoin ecosystem or the price in any way?
- Does it help only the issuer of Bitcoin ETN
- Why was Bitcoin created?
🔥 On July 16, Judge James Mellor found that Wright lied extensively to support his false claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous author of the 2008 Bitcoin white paper. Judge Mellor's ruling indicated that Wright’s false testimony warranted referral to Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for consideration of perjury charges. More info via Cointelegraph here https://t.ly/4ErSk
🔴 In a recently resurfaced video, JD Vance, the new running mate of Donald Trump, criticized SEC Chair Gary Gensler, calling him the “worst person” to regulate the crypto industry. The clip, here https://t.ly/4VCHW has been circulating on social media and shows Vance speaking at Remedy Fest, a private conference hosted by Y Combinator and Bloomberg on February 28. In 2021 he also disclosed that he owned between $100,000 and $250,000 worth of Bitcoin while running for Senate. A great video here https://t.ly/D6UxN via C-SPAN where he's talking about regulations to protect and not stifle innovation

The subject matter of the closed meeting will consist of the following topics:
- Institution and settlement of injunctive actions;
- Institution and settlement of administrative proceedings;
- Resolution of litigation claims; and
- Other matters relating to examinations and enforcement proceedings.
⭐ This has sparked speculation among crypto experts, with a focus on potential implications for the SEC's ongoing lawsuit involving Ripple. The commission promises updates on its website, indicating the potential for a resolution in the coming days. Official info here http://tiny.cc/qul5zz
🟣 Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has flagged seven unlicensed crypto exchanges for operating illegally in the region. These platforms, including Taurusemex and Yomaex, misled investors by falsely claiming affiliation with the SFC and engaging in activities like blocking withdrawals and imposing unauthorized fees. The SFC's alert list, aimed at protecting investors from scams, now includes 39 entries, with 28 additions in 2024 alone.
❗ Regulations are needed for Centralized exchanges!

🟤 MakerDAO’s $1B Tokenization Plan 🚨ICP promotes blockchain in Africa, 🟢Bitcoin Cash Hash Rate 2Xs Overnight 🔥 OpenAI whistleblowers complain to SEC

❗MakerDAO’s $1B Tokenized Treasury Investment Plan Attracts Interest from BlackRock’s BUIDL, Ondo, and Superstate Info via CoinDesk here https://tinyurl.com/5n79nyjp

🟤 MakerDAO is launching an open competition to invest $1 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasury offerings. Major players like BlackRock’s BUIDL, Superstate, and Ondo Finance are gearing up to participate. This move is part of MakerDAO’s Endgame Plan, signaling a significant reshuffle of its reserve strategy and a potential 55% growth boost for the $1.85 billion tokenized treasuries market. Applications open on August 12th. Check out Blockchain DXB podcast we cover this news in detail

🟥The Internet Computer Protocol’s DecaHack at the University of Ibadan highlighted blockchain’s potential. Nigerian youths are urged to engage with blockchain for global competitiveness.

- Initiatives: Boot camps, hackathons, pitch competitions.

- Support: Top 5 startups get $25K grants, mentorship, and ICP grant access.

- Fostering blockchain talent to drive innovation and keep Nigeria competitive in the digital economy. Info via Cointelegraph here https://tinyurl.com/3h8rt5n5

🟢 The Bitcoin Cash network saw a dramatic 156% increase in hash rate overnight, reaching a 17-week high of 9.4 EH/s, sparked by the emergence of a new miner named ‘Phoenix.’ More info The Bitcoin Cash podcast Twitter (x) here https://tinyurl.com/4789676u Alternatively, there’s concern that this could be preparation for an attack. The sudden increase in hash rate, especially if it’s not driven by profitability, is unusual; typically, price movements lead to changes in hash rate. Generally, attacks involving significant hash rate increases are less likely due to the time required for adjustments in the BCH Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm (DAA).

🚨Whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against OpenAI, alleging the company illegally prevented employees from alerting regulators about potential risks of its technology

According to a seven-page letter sent to the SEC commissioner, OpenAI made employees waive their rights to whistleblower compensation and required company consent before disclosing information to authorities. The agreements also lacked exemptions for reporting securities violations to the SEC.

🚀CPI- Bidenflation today🚀BTC and ETH are commodities. — CFTC 💯Goldman Sachs — 3 new tokenization products in 2024❗ H.E. Justin Sun wins court case in China⚡

🚀 Bidenflation- June 2024 CPI data are scheduled to be released on July 11, 2024, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time. How will the crypto market react? We strongly urge to check CPI numbers via Bureau of Labor Statistics here https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ Check out the Blockchain DXB podcast we briefly explain how Inflation is calculated and how it could impact the price of hashtag#BTC & the hashtag#cryptomarket

🔥 The chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Rostin Behman said a recent federal court ruling reaffirmed Bitcoin and Ethereum’s status as commodities. Important to note he said this referring to a fraud case pursued by the CFTC in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against an unregistered entity. More info via Decrypt here https://lnkd.in/dsYHpHMJ 

- Can a product be Commodity and Security at the same time? 
🚨 Former CFTC Chair tim massad shared his answer in an excellent episode with Bankless full episode here https://lnkd.in/dj8nsp_x. Some great points about ‘Stablecoins and national security: Learning the lessons of Eurodollars here’ https://lnkd.in/dxpaFuBt 

🔴 Goldman Sachs will launch three new tokenization products in the US and Europe later this year, focusing on marketplaces for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Targeting financial institutions with permissioned blockchains, the bank aims to enhance speed and asset collateral variety. The renewed crypto momentum is attributed to the rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for digital assets, with several Bitcoin ETFs listed and spot Ether ETFs expected soon. Info via Cointelegraph here https://lnkd.in/dKxHvzpe 

❓ Tokenization is the next big hype! Here are a few questions to address: 
- How does KYC/AML work for RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization on an open blockchain?
- On the secondary market & DEX what happens if the buyer is from a sanctioned country?

❗ Justin Sun dismisses Fake News about him 
- H.E. Justin Sun, founder of Tron, won a defamation lawsuit in China’s People’s Court against the Chongqing Business Media Group, which had accused him of fraud. This victory challenges the perception that Chinese courts are biased against cryptocurrency issues. Sun argued that China’s anti-crypto reputation is exaggerated and that the legal system is not discriminatory towards crypto.

🟠 Make Bitcoin Great Again!
❗ The Republican National Committee panel has approved a draft of its 2024 party platform, which includes robust support for Bitcoin. The draft explicitly states on page nine that the party will advocate for the right to mine Bitcoin and ensure every American can self-custody their digital assets and conduct transactions without government surveillance or control. Additionally, it pledges to halt what it describes as the Democrats’ “unlawful and un-American crackdown on crypto” and opposes the introduction of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

⚡ Artur Schaback, former CTO of Paxful Inc., pleaded guilty to conspiracy for not maintaining an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program from 2015 to 2019. Despite marketing Paxful as KYC-free, he failed to implement proper KYC protocols, presented fake AML policies, and did not report suspicious activities. This allowed crimes like money laundering and fraud on the platform. Schaback faces up to five years in prison and will be sentenced on November 4th. Official info by U.S. Department of Justice here https://lnkd.in/dTmXps7x 

💯 TON Application Chain (TAC) and Polygon Labs have announced a collaboration to integrate Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) functionality into the TON ecosystem. This integration will enable decentralized applications (DApps), including those in DeFi, gaming, and identity solutions, to operate on TAC using Ethereum-compatible tools like Polygon CDK and Agglayer. TAC aims to leverage this partnership to enhance DApp integration within Telegram, potentially reaching a vast user base. The initiative seeks to expand the utility of the TON network by facilitating access to a broader range of crypto applications for users.

The bank is focused on improving the payment system’s efficiency and innovation. Yang stressed that promoting CBDC is a long-term project aimed at supporting the country’s digital economy and finance. He also emphasized that the development of a digital currency (CBDC) is not a race, and being first does not ensure success more info via Bitcoin.com https://lnkd.in/eXgkXEq5 

🐺 UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev recently ventured into the crypto world by launching his own meme coin called SMASH. However, the token’s value rapidly plummeted, leading to accusations of a pump-and-dump scheme. Crypto veterans highlighted that insider wallets associated with Chimaev’s development team were responsible for dumping a significant portion of the token’s supply, suggesting it was an orchestrated scam. In response to the backlash, Chimaev has deleted all tweets related to crypto and the SMASH token.
