🚨Tether.to Confirms Collaboration with DOJ, FBI + Secret Service 🔥Ledger Exploit Drained $484K 🟣Bitcoin fees hit 20-month high🚀

🚨Tether.to has officially acknowledged its extensive collaboration with various U.S. government agencies, such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Secret Service. The collaborative efforts are aimed at enhancing the security of the stablecoin ecosystem for all users and supporting law enforcement initiatives against illicit activities.

❗ In a series of letters directed to Senator Cynthia Lummis, Tether highlights the collaboration relationship that the company has established with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the U.S. Secret Service, aiming to “combat illegal activities and aid in fund recovery.”

⚡ CEO Paolo Ardoino states that the company had taken a proactive security stance, freezing the funds held in wallets included in the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. Paolo A. declared this measure is a “definitive move designed to protect our users and the integrity of the stablecoin ecosystem.”

❗ More info via Bitcoin.com here https://tinyurl.com/4nj9m98f

❓ Are stablecoin issuers replacing the role of a bank?

🚨 On December 14th, 2023, Ledger encountered an exploit on Ledger Connect Kit, a Javascript library connecting websites to wallets. The industry collaborated to swiftly neutralize the exploit, which operated for less than two hours. Ledger actively investigated, filed complaints, and assisted affected individuals in fund recovery. Importantly, the exploit did not compromise the integrity of Ledger hardware or Ledger Live; it was confined to third-party DApps utilizing the Ledger Connect Kit.

😡 Hackers stole $484,000 on Thursday

An update later was that The genuine Ledger Connect Kit 1.1.8 was now fully propagated. Ledger and WalletConnect can confirm that the malicious code was deactivated.

🚀 Bitcoin transaction fees have surged to a 20-month high, coinciding with the price of BTC reaching $69,000. Recent data indicates that Bitcoin miners are reaping significant benefits from these elevated fees. While some market participants express concerns, many long-term players dismiss complaints about the current fee levels. Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions has resulted in elevated transaction fees for all network users. The size of the unconfirmed on-chain transaction backlog is vast, resulting in transactions with an attached fee of even $2 having no on-chain priority.

Thank you for the

14th December: Crypto & Coffee at 8

❗FOMC: Intrest Hike unchained causes Crypto🚀 SEC Meets with BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale Investments ⚡ Zimbabwe University: Web3 plans

📊 Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell announced no interest rate hike & and remained unchained at at 5.25–5.50% but a strong possibility of an increase in 25bps in 2024. We strongly recommend watching the full interview here via YouTube http://tinyurl.com/2a6yfans Some interesting information about Labor Market conditions and recession.

- How did the crypto market react to FOMC news? The Global crypto market is up by 4.47% and over $33B has been added to Bitcoin’s market cap

✅ Check out Blockchain DXB’s Crypto & Coffee at 8 podcasts we share our commentary on it. We also discuss Binance’s former CEO CZ’s update

⚡ U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission held meetings with four different issuers regarding their spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings. According to meeting memorandums posted on the SEC website, Grayscale and Franklin Templeton met with the SEC on Dec. 8, Fidelity Investments on Dec. 7, and BlackRock’s latest meeting with the SEC was on Dec. 11. Info by James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA Senior ETF analyst of Bloomberg.

Does it mean Bitcoin Spot will be approved? Not Really! We at Blockchain DXB strongly feel a Bitcoin spot ETF may be approved by 2025

🟠 One of the issues BlackRock, and other spot bitcoin ETF issuers, discussed with the SEC concerns the use of the in-kind creation model instead of the cash creation model for their spot bitcoin ETFs. While the SEC favors the cash model, Blackrock and other issuers advocate for in-kind creation. To address the regulator’s concerns, Blackrock has proposed a revised in-kind model. In its latest spot bitcoin ETF filing update, Blackrock addressed the potential classification of bitcoin as a security by the SEC.

❗ Bloomberg has predicted a 90% chance of the SEC approving spot bitcoin ETFs by Jan. 10.

🚨 On December 8th and 9th, the University of Zimbabwe collaborated with the South Africa-based Mzansi Web3 — ICP.Hub Southern Africa Web3 Hub to host its first-ever blockchain hackathon. Taurayi Rupere, the chairman of the university’s computer science department, emphasized that the hackathon aimed to cultivate innovative developers with a mindset geared towards thinking beyond conventional boundaries.
