The transfer came a day after the US DOJ unsealed an indictment against Prince Holding Group, which allegedly used LuBian to launder illicit funds. A wallet linked to the Chinese Bitcoin mining operation LuBian transferred almost $1.3 billion in Bitcoin a day after the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to seize $15 billion in Bitcoin allegedly stolen from the mining pool in 2020.

Bitwise’s chief investment officer praised DeFi platforms for their resilience during the weekend fallout, calling the market’s recovery a sign of strength. The crypto market faced its biggest leveraged wipeout in history last weekend, but the turbulence won’t leave a lasting mark, according to Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan. In a Tuesday blog post, Hougan described the sharp drop as “a blip” and not a big deal. He added that crypto “got a passing grade” in its handling of the sell-off. “Many DeFi platforms performed flawlessly: Uniswap, Hyperliquid, Aave and others reported no losses,” he wrote, while noting that Binance and some other exchanges faced issues. “Taken together, crypto did as well or better than traditional markets would have done in the same situation,” he said.

Unlimited leverage and sentiment-driven valuations create cascading liquidations that wipe billions overnight. Crypto’s maturity demands systematic discipline. Opinion by: Lucas Kiely, CEO of Future Digital Crypto’s most significant issue is that it lacks the type of quantifiable value that traditional stocks possess, which makes it entirely speculative. On top of that, investors can leverage trades in a way that can tank billions of dollars overnight. Industry diehards behind the technology argue that blockchain’s innovative infrastructure is what gives it value. Yet there’s very little evidence that this translates into real, tangible gains for tokenholders. Read more -

BitMine chair Tom Lee said that Ether going to $12,000 wouldn’t be a “blow off top,” it will just be price discovery at a new level. BitMine chair Tom Lee and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes are holding strong on their prediction that Ether will hit $10,000 this year, despite a recent crypto crash, and there being less than three months left on the clock. “For Ethereum, somewhere between [$10,000] and $12,000,” Lee said on the Bankless podcast on Tuesday, when asked where he sees the cryptocurrency’s price going by the end of this year. Hayes, who also appeared on the same podcast episode, said he is “going to stay consistent” with his $10,000 prediction by the end of the year. Read more -

An oracle vulnerability on Binance contributed to Friday’s market crash, which clocked in as the largest liquidation event in history at $19 B. In this article, Cointelegraph Research analyses newly released forensic orderbook data from the crash. The recent crash on Oct. 10 was the largest liquidation event in the crypto market’s history. More than $19 B was liquidated, according to CoinGlass data, leading to a $65 B decline in open interest. This number dwarfs other memorable liquidation cascades such as the COVID-19 crash with $1.2 B, or even the FTX collapse at $1.6 B in liquidations. In the aftermath, consensus among investigators emerged that the event was at least partially caused by vulnerable pricing oracles on the Binance exchange. The collateral value of three pegged crypto tokens, namely USDE, bnSOL and wBETH, was determined from Binance’s internal orderbook data instead of an external oracle. This puts users of the “Unified Accounts” feature at risk of liquidation during market irregularities. I... -

Binance and BNB Chain have pledged a total of $728 million in support for traders following the sell-off, but the exchange maintains it is not responsible for users’ losses.

BRLV is fully backed by Brazilian government bonds, which offer yields far higher than those in more mature economies. Read more -
