According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Sfraga was accused of deceiving investors with the promise of up to 60% returns within three months through a non-existent cryptocurrency digital wallet.

There are approximately 21,800 Bitcoin options contracts due to expire on Friday, April 19. These derivatives have a notional value of around $1.33 billion, which is marginally lower than last week’s expiry event.

As crypto emerges as an increasingly partisan issue in the 2024 presidential election—what with Donald Trump making overtures to the industry, and President Joe Biden threatening to kill legislation intended to protect it—American crypto companies have begun feverishly spending to aid the campaigns of pro-crypto candidates across the country. Industry mainstays like Coinbase, Andreessen Horowitz, and Ripple Labs have already dedicated tens of millions of dollars to influencing key Senate and House races this year. Meanwhile, crypto leaders have begun openly embracing Trump in a manner unthinkable four years ago. But amid the crypto industry’s rise as a force in…

As the next Bitcoin halving event approaches, the infamous volatility of the Bitcoin price is intensifying, making it increasingly difficult to predict what comes next. According to the latest information, the Bitcoin halving event will take place on Saturday around 04:11 Turkey time (UTC+3). CryptoQuant Research Manager Julio Moreno stated that the selling pressure from traders has actually decreased because these traders have realized all their profits. According to CryptoQuant’s measurements, the “realized price of short-term wallets” is almost equal to the BTC market price. This suggests that short-term traders are no longer collectively making significant profits that would motivate…
