In an April 22 filing, federal prosecutors told New York district court Judge Arun Subramanian that Eisenberg’s 2022 exploit of the Solana-based DeFi platform was not a clever arbitrage but a premeditated attack that defrauded investors of over $100 million. “Fraud that takes over $100 million from investors and effectively shuts down a business is a shocking violation of criminal law,” the filing stated. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 78…

Bitcoin (BTC) is likely headed for a period of heightened volatility as 170,000 BTC — worth over $14 billion at its current price of $84,500 — have moved from wallets held for three to six months, a cohort often linked to market turning points, CryptoQuant warned in a post. On-chain behavior from this group has historically served as an early signal for major price action, according to the post. Mid-term holders are typically considered to be traders that hold a cryptocurrency for anywhere between three to 12 months. They tend to be more reactive to market conditions than long-term holders…

The winds have shifted in Washington. Just months into his second term, President Donald Trump’s administration has made a decisive pivot from regulatory hostility to enthusiastic support for crypto. Executive orders, agency shakeups, and bold declarations have redefined digital assets as strategic financial infrastructure rather than speculative distractions. But even with this new momentum, one major obstacle remains: Congress. Despite the White House’s crypto embrace, the legislative branch holds the keys to a stable and lasting regulatory framework. Many crypto leaders are sounding the alarm that now is the time to act by creating a clear regulatory framework for the…
