Terraform Labs sued Jump Trading and senior executives for $4 billion, alleging the firm manipulated Terra’s ecosystem and unlawfully profited from the crash, the WSJ reported. The administrator of Terraform Labs’ bankruptcy, Todd Snyder, has filed a lawsuit seeking $4 billion in damages from trading company Jump Trading and multiple executives. According to a Friday Wall Street Journal report, the lawsuit alleges that Jump Trading unlawfully profited from and contributed to the 2022 crash of Terra. Alongside the company, the suit is also aimed at its co-founder, William DiSomma, and the former president of the crypto trading department, Kanav Kariya. Terraform Labs and the Terra blockchain ecosystem collapsed in 2022 when its native algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), lost its peg to the US dollar. The stablecoin was backed by a Terra inflationary mechanism, and when the peg was lost, the LUNA token saw an issuance and sell-off shock. The crash led to about $50 billion in losses. Read more

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday sounded the alarm over India’s “weaponisation of water” following abrupt variations in the flow of the Chenab River, which have caused consternation among farmers in Punjab. He made the remarks while addressing an urgent media briefing for the diplomatic corps in Islamabad, a day after the Foreign Office said it had sought a clarification from India via a letter over the sudden variation in the Chenab River’s flow. At the beginning of his briefing, Dar said he wished to draw attention to a situation that threatened peace and stability in South Asia. “We witnessed in April this year India’s unilateral abeyance of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) … But what we are witnessing now is material breaches by India that strike at the heart of the IWT with escalating consequences for regional stability and sanctity of international law,” he said. “We have observed unusual, abrupt variations in the flow of the Chenab River twice this year,” he said, adding that...

Bybit is relaunching in the UK with a stripped‑back spot and P2P platform, reopening a market it exited after the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) 2023 crackdown.

The Dubai‑based exchange shut off local UK customers in late 2023 when the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) tougher financial promotion rules kicked in.  According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph, the service is being rolled out under a promotions arrangement approved by Archax, an FCA‑authorized firm, rather than via Bybit’s own registration or authorization in the UK.

New research models how crosschain price gaps and capital friction are eroding efficiency as tokenized markets scale across blockchains. Fragmentation across blockchain networks is already imposing a measurable economic cost on the tokenized asset market, with inefficiencies translating into up to $1.3 billion in annual value drag.  In a report sent to Cointelegraph, real-world asset (RWA) data provider RWA.io argued that while blockchains accelerated innovation, they also created walls that trap liquidity and prevent capital from moving freely across networks.  As a result, tokenized RWAs have increasingly behaved like disconnected markets rather than a single, unified financial system. The research found that identical or economically equivalent assets routinely trade at different prices across chains, while moving capital between networks remained costly and complex.  Read more
