EDITORS LETTER

Bitcoin staged a strong rebound and is now hovering near the $78,000 level after a dramatic sell-off over the weekend. The drop below the psychological $80K mark came right after US stock futures opened sharply lower on April 6, dragging BTC to a new year-to-date low of $74,508 on April 7. But that dip was met with aggressive buying as bulls stepped in to defend the zone. The wider macro environment remains bearish, with the US stock market’s Fear & Greed Index plunging to just 4 out of 100 a level that usually signals capitulation. This kind of panic often sets the stage for a bottom, where weaker hands exit and strong hands start loading up. A fast recovery could follow, but given the high volatility, it’s smart to stay cautious and avoid going heavy on leverage right now.

Bitcoin dipped below the key $76,606 support level on April 7, but buyers stepped in around $73,777, as shown by the long wick on the daily candle. The RSI is flashing a bullish divergence, hinting that bearish pressure might be easing, but that alone isn’t enough to flip sentiment—it needs confirmation with a breakout. If BTC breaks and closes above the descending resistance line, it could mark the end of the correction and open the doors for a run toward $89,000 and even $95,000. On the flip side, if bulls fail to break resistance and price gets rejected, it means the bears are still in control. A drop below $73,777 could trigger a sharp sell-off, dragging BTC down to the $67,000 zone.

Ether continued its downward slide on April 6 after breaching the $1,754 support. The fact that it didn’t bounce off $1,550 shows bulls are not stepping in with conviction. The RSI is now in oversold territory, which suggests a shortterm relief rally might be brewing. If ETH starts to recover from current levels, a move back to $1,754 is possible. However, if the bounce stalls around that level, it would signal that bears are selling into strength. That could increase the risk of a deeper drop toward $1,350 and even $1,150. For bulls to regain control, they need to push ETH above the 20-day EMA, which currently sits at $1,853—only then could we start talking about a trend reversal.

Lastly please check out the advancement’s happening in the cryptocurrency world

Ethereum whale liquidated for $106M on Sky amid crypto bloodbath

ETH prices have tanked more than 14%, causing liquidations on decentralized finance lending platforms.

An Ether investor who had a large position on decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform Sky has been liquidated to the tune of more than $100 million as the price of Ether crashed.

The Ether ETH $1,515 whale lost 67,570 ETH worth around $106 million when the asset crashed by around 14% on April 6, liquidating his collateralized debt position on Sky, according to Maker Vaults explorer DeFi Explore, and as observed by Lookonchain.

The Sky lending protocol, which rebranded from Maker in August, is used

Fidelity launches zero-fee crypto retirement accounts with exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin

Fidelity's crypto IRA offers US investors tax-advantaged exposure to top digital assets with no maintenance fees.

Fidelity Investments is launching zero-fee retirement plans that will provide investors exposure to three

major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC).

The product is available to US citizens over 18 who reside in states where Fidelity Digital Assets supports crypto individual retirement arrangements (IRAs).

by DeFi participants to create collateralized debt positions by providing crypto, ETH in this case, to borrow the platform’s stablecoin, DAI $0.9998.

The system uses an overcollateralization ratio, typically 150% or higher, meaning that users need to deposit at least $150 worth of ETH to borrow 100 DAI.

The protocol autonomously monitors the value of ETH collateral relative to the borrowed DAI, and if the ETH value falls and the collateral ratio drops below the minimum requirement, the position becomes eligible for liquidation.

This whale’s liquidation occurred when the ratio fell to 144% as the price of ETH plummeted.

The asset manager is offering three different IRA plans.

The first plan is a taxfree Roth IRA, which allows investors to save for retirement with already taxed money, while the second is a more “traditional” IRA, which allows for taxdeferred potential earnings growth.

The third plan is a Rollover IRA, which enables investors to transfer funds from a former employer’s plan to an IRA, such as a

401(k), 403(b), or another IRA.

To open a Fidelity Crypto IRA, investors must also hold a Fidelity brokerage IRA with the same registration type, which acts as a funding account.

Users can transfer funds from the linked brokerage IRA into the crypto IRA to execute trades. If an individual does not already hold a qualifying Fidelity brokerage IRA, the firm will open one in parallel when setting up the crypto IRA.

Would you trust a casino without proof that the games are fair? In traditional gambling, players have to rely on blind faith. However, online gambling has seen major changes in how players expect transparency. Blockchain tech has changed how we think about game fairness.

Crypto gambling represents the next step in this trust evolution. Provably fair systems ensure that neither side can rig games. CryptoGames leads this movement by using advanced tech that anyone can verify. This article will show how provably fair technology works and why it matters for honest crypto gambling.

The Rise of Trust Issues in Online Gambling

Online gambling has always faced questions about whether games are genuinely fair. Traditional sites keep their systems hidden from players, and users must trust that random outcomes really are random. This lack of proof has created doubt. A 2022 study found that gamblers wonder if games are rigged. These concerns make sense, given past scandals in the industry.

True randomness is essential for fair gambling to exist. Physical casinos use card shuffling and dice rolls to create random results. Online sites must use digital methods to achieve the same effect. Standard random number systems follow hidden

patterns that could be predicted. This creates a problem since only the gambling site controls these systems.

Blockchain introduced a new way to prove fairness through crypto methods. Players no longer needblind trust in a site’s claims. CryptoGames uses Provably Fair RNG to ensure every game is fair, meaning players can verify their bets anytime. They offer a built-in tool and support third-party verification for extra transparency. This commitment to openness helps CryptoGames set a new standard for trust in online gambling.

What is Provably Fair RNG and Why Does It Matter?

Provably Fair Random Number Generators (RNGs) use blockchain technology to create truly random game results. Unlike traditional RNGs, these systems combine inputs from both the player and the casino. This happens through a “seed generation” process before each game. The casino provides a server seed, while the player gets a client seed. These two seeds work together to create game outcomes that neither side can predict.

The real magic happens through cryptographic hash functions that verify each game result. After a game ends, the casino reveals the server seed used for that round. Players can then use this

1. Third-Party Audits and Certifications

CryptoGames undergoes regular audits by respected industry testing labs like iTech Labs Their most recent audit on June 24, 2022, certified that their RNG passed all fairness tests. The audit specifically confirmed that game results are “unpredictable, non-repeatable and uniformly distributed.” These third-party checks provide extra proof beyond the built-in verification system. The site publishes full audit reports for players to read. These reports include technical details about the testing methods used. This commitment to outside verification shows they welcome expert scrutiny of their systems.

2. Crypto Gambling Foundation Membership

As a verified Crypto Gambling Foundation (CGF) member, CryptoGames follows strict industry best practices. The CGF works to improve fairness standards across all crypto-gambling sites and verifies that member casinos use proper, provably fair methods. This membership shows CryptoGames’ commitment to industry-wide improvement and connects them to a community focused on player protection.

3. Licensed and Regulated Operation

CryptoGames operates under proper legal oversight that adds another layer of player protection. The site is owned and operated by MuchGaming B.V., a company based in Curaçao. MuchGaming B.V. holds an official gambling license from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. Their license number, OGL/2024/1336/1047, can be verified through official channels. This licensing requires regular compliance checks and adherence to strict rules. All games must meet fair gaming standards set by regulators. The license shows CryptoGames’ commitment to operating as a legitimate business.

4. Educational Resources for Players

CryptoGames goes beyond just offering verification tools—it actively teaches players how to use them. The site provides detailed guides in simple language for checking game fairness. Its FAQ section addresses common questions about provably fair gaming. The site explains technical terms in ways that make sense to non-technical players. This focus on education helps players actually use the verification systems. It shows that CryptoGames wants to inform players rather than just claim fairness.

How Players Can Verify Fairness Themselves?

Step 1: Access the Verification Tool

Visit the CryptoGames Provably Fair Verifier tool. The verifier works for all games on the platform.

Step 2: Select Your Game

Choose which game you want to verify from the dropdown menu. Different games use different verification methods. Options include Dice, Slot, Blackjack, Roulette, Video Poker, and Plinko.

Step 3: Gather Your Bet Information

Find your bet details in your account history section. Click on any past bet to view its verification data. You’ll need three pieces of information for the next steps.

Step 4: Enter the Last Server Seed SHA256

Copy the server seed hash from your bet details. Paste this into the “Last server seed SHA256” field. This hash was shown to you before the game started.

Step 5: Enter the Last Server Seed

Copy the revealed server seed from your bet history. Paste this into the “Last server seed” field. This was revealed after your game finished.

Step 6: Enter the Last Client Seed

Copy your client seed from the bet details. Paste this into the “Last client seed” field.

Step 7: Verify Your Results

Click the “Verify” button to check if your game result was fair. The tool will show you the exact same outcome as your original game.

Takeaway

The future of online gambling clearly belongs to platforms that embrace complete transparency. Provably fair gaming has transformed online gambling from a system based on blind trust to one built on mathematical proof. CryptoGames has established itself as a trusted name by going beyond basic requirements. They offer multiple layers of protection through provably fair systems, third-party audits, and proper licensing.

Tron Founder: First Digital Trust Situation 'Significantly Worse' Than FTX

Tron founder Justin Sun has compared the controversy surrounding First Digital Trust to that of FTX before its collapse but insists the former’s case is “significantly worse.”

Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun has compared First Digital Trust’s (FDT) situation, following its reported “unauthorized” transfer of $456 million from TUSD’s custodial funds, to that of FTX weeks before its collapse. While he described both situations as “extremely serious” and “egregious cases of fraud,” Sun insists FDT’s case is “significantly worse.”

Sun’s latest remarks on the growing controversy, which saw the stablecoin FDUSD briefly depeg, came just days before he

PayPal expands crypto offerings with Solana, Chainlink support

PayPal's crypto lineup grows to seven with the addition of Solana and Chainlink, reflecting a long-term digital commerce strategy.

PayPal announced plans to allow US users to buy, sell, and transfer Solana (SOL) and

Chainlink (LINK) through its core platform and Venmo, marking the latest expansion in the payments giant’s crypto offerings.

The rollout, set to take place in the coming weeks, will increase PayPal’s supported digital assets to seven

launched a $50 million bounty to help recover the alleged stolen TUSD reserves. As reported by Bitcoin.com News, Sun’s allegations have attracted the attention of a Hong Kong lawmaker who promised enforcement action should the claims prove to be true.

and respond to growing user demand for broader token access, according to an April 4 press release.

By adding Solana and Chainlink, two assets known for their decentralized infrastructure and enterprise utility, PayPal aims to cater to a broader segment of crypto users, from retail investors to developers and data providers.

PayPal CEO Alex Chriss, who took over in late 2023, has not spoken publicly about the company’s crypto roadmap, but his predecessor, Dan Schulman, was an outspoken advocate for blockchain integration, stating in 2022 that “the intersection between digital currencies and the digital wallet is a clear opportunity.”

For its part, FDT has vehemently refuted Sun’s allegations, including claims that it is insolvent. In its last statement, FDT described the claims as a malicious attempt to damage its reputation and market standing, as well as that of the FDUSD stablecoin. FDT vowed to take legal action. At press time and since April 2, FDUSD’s market value has remained above the $0.99 range. Read more...

The update comes amid continued volatility in the crypto market but reflects PayPal’s longterm bet that digital assets will become a core component of digital commerce.

With the addition of SOL and LINK, PayPal is reinforcing its role as a bridge between traditional payment infrastructure and blockchain-based finance.

To the untrained eye, that might just mean Bitcoin is leading again. But for seasoned cycle watchers, it’s a flashing signal.

Historically, Bitcoin dominance peaks right before altcoins begin to run. In 2017 and again in late 2020, a dominance reversal signalled capital rotation into altcoins sparking some of the biggest rallies in crypto history.

Right now, that rotation hasn’t happened yet. Capital is still consolidating in Bitcoin, largely driven by institutional inflows via spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Why does this matter?

Because once Bitcoin cools and it always does that capital will seek higher beta assets, i.e., altcoins.

Ethereum/BTC: A Contrarian Signal

The ETH/BTC ratio just fell to 0.0225, its lowest level since May 2020. Technically, it’s breaking down from a bear flag and on the surface, this looks extremely bearish.

But take a step back.

In May 2020, ETH/BTC was at similar levels and Ethereum was just $200.

Over the next 12 months, it ran to $4,000, and altcoins followed in a vertical climb.

This ratio isn’t just a chart. It’s a gauge of risk appetite.

When ETH underperforms BTC, it often precedes altcoin rotations not because ETH is weak, but because it’s the last domino before speculative appetite returns.

Right now, ETH is being ignored by institutions (zero ETF inflows), crushed by sentiment, and down on every major pair. That’s not a reason to avoid it. That’s a reason to start watching it closely.

The M2 Money Supply: Liquidity Leads Price

Here’s where we shift from charts to macro.

Global M2 money supply a key indicator of liquidity has historically led Bitcoin price action by 2–3 months. When M2 contracts, markets drop. When M2 expands, markets rise. Bitcoin, and by extension crypto, lags that move. Back in December, M2 began expanding again and now, we’re starting to see the early signs of a reversal.

Bitcoin’s pullback in late March? It mirrored a small drop in M2 from two months prior.

If the pattern holds, the next bullish leg could start in late April or early May right as liquidity rises again and macro stress softens.

That window, between now and then, is the accumulation zone.

Regulation & Altcoin ETFs: The Sleeping Giant

For the last few years, the U.S. regulatory environment has been one of the biggest headwinds in crypto. But that’s changing fast.

In recent months:

The SEC dropped lawsuits against Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, Gemini, and more.

The FDIC reversed prior anti-crypto guidance, giving banks more freedom to interact with digital assets.

The Circle IPO was greenlit, signaling a new era for crypto capital markets.

But the biggest news?

Altcoin ETFs are being reviewed. Multiple filings for altcoin ETFs including XRP, Litecoin, Solana, Cardano, Dogecoin are now under formal review. According to Polymarket, XRP ETF approval odds have jumped to 87% since the Ripple case was dropped. Final deadlines for the first wave? Late April and Mid-October. If approved, these ETFs could open the floodgates for mainstream altcoin exposure, just like Bitcoin spot ETFs did in January.

The market isn’t pricing this in. Yet.

The Bottom Line: Don’t Confuse Silence with Death

This isn’t a call to go all-in. This is a call to wake up.

Markets are built on mispricing.

And right now, altcoins are arguably the most underpriced they’ve been since 2020 both technically and fundamentally.

We’ve got:

Historic Bitcoin dominance

Ethereum trading like it’s 2020

Global liquidity ticking upward

Regulatory pressure easing

Altcoin ETF catalysts within weeks And most people? They’re still on the sidelines. Watching. Doubting.

This is the silence before the surge. If you’re reading this, you’re early. You don’t need to ape. You just need to be awake.

US House Passes STABLE Act for Stablecoin Regulation

Dhe United States House Financial Services Committee has passed the stablecoin regulation framework bill.

On April 2, the US House Financial Services Committee passed the STABLE Act, which now needs to pass a full House vote and then a Senate vote in its next stages of approval into law.

The Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act was passed with a 32 to 17 vote.

The legislation, formally titled the “Stablecoin Tethering and Bank Licensing Enforcement” Act, was introduced in 2020 and failed to pass.

Bitcoin Miner MARA Starts Massive $2B Stock Sale Plan to Buy More BTC

The company, which has the secondlargest bitcoin stash among publiclytraded companies, could use the funds to finance further BTC acquisitions.

MARA is launching a $2 billion at-the-market stock offering to raise capital after previously raising $1.4 billion through an ATM offering.

It originally aimed to regulate stablecoin issuers by requiring them to obtain banking charters and follow traditional banking regulations.

It gives the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) “the authority to approve and supervise federally qualified nonbank payment stablecoin issuers,” according to Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence Subcommittee Chair Bryan Steil.

“The STABLE Act protects consumers while cementing the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency and promoting the next generation of Web3 businesses here in the United States,” said Steil.

The miner plans to use the proceeds of this new offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin. The company previously used a portion of the raised funds to accumulate bitcoin, increasing its holdings from 13,726 BTC to 46,376 BTC.

Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings (MARA) is launching a fresh $2 billion stock offering to buy more bitcoin, continuing its plan of buying BTC in the open market through capital raise while sticking to its "Hodl" strategy.

According to a Form 8-K and a new prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), MARA entered into an at-the-market (ATM) equity program with a group of investment banks including Barclays, BMO Capital Markets, BTIG, Cantor Fitzgerald, and others. The proceeds of the offering, which will see brokers selling shares of the miner from time to time, will be used mainly for the acquisition of bitcoin in the open market.

"We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital," MARA said in its prospectus.

Hey, it’s Steven here crypto analyst for Cryptonaire weekly I’ve been knee-deep in this crypto mess for longer than I care to admit. I’m sitting here, staring at the charts, feeling that familiar knot in my gut as Bitcoin dips to $81,000 and the market shakes like a house of cards in a storm.

You’re probably feeling it too the dread, the secondguessing, the “should I sell or hold?” spiral that keeps you up at night. I’ve been there, lived it, and yeah, I’m still here, battered but breathing. This week, though, something’s different. Amid the chaos, I’ve been watching the gaming corner of this wild crypto world, and five projects Bitmates, Off The Grid, Shrapnel, Grand Gangsta City, and Immutable.

They’re not just surviving this dip; they’re screaming potential, and I can’t shake the feeling that they’re about to change the game for us traders and investors. So, grab a drink, sit down, and let me spill my guts about why these five have me wide awake when everything else feels like it’s crumbling.

It started with Bitmates. I’ll be honest I stumbled across it late one night, scrolling X, half-expecting another overhyped NFT scam. But this? This is no cash grab. An MMO where every item’s an NFT, no token to pump and dump just pure, raw gaming with ownership baked in.

The chatter on X was quiet, maybe 30-70 mentions this week, but it’s the kind of quiet that feels like a coiled spring. I’ve seen projects like this before, the ones that don’t scream for attention but build something real.

As a trader, I’m thinking liquidity pools for those NFTs could be a goldmine if they hit Steam’s early access stride. As a gamer, I’m hooked on the idea of a world where my loot isn’t locked behind some corporate server. It’s a slow burn, and that’s what scares me it’s so under-the-radar, I’m terrified I’ll miss the moment it explodes.

Then there’s Off The Grid. God, this one’s a beast. A battle royale on the GUNZ blockchain, topping download charts, and suddenly everyone’s whispering about a Web3 gaming bull run. I saw it on Binance Launchpool, and my trader brain kicked into overdrive $GUN tokenomics, staking potential, airdrop rumours.

But it’s more than that. I loaded it up, played a round, and felt that rush I haven’t felt since my first crypto win. It’s gritty, it’s fast, and it’s got that cyberpunk edge that makes you forget the market’s bleeding. I’m warning you now: this could be the catalyst we’ve been praying for, but if the hype outpaces the delivery, we’re all screwed. I’m betting on it, though my gut says it’s got legs.

https://x.com/playoffthegrid/status/1900836905501016180

Shrapnel hit me next, and it hit hard. A first-person shooter with AAA polish, built on Avalanche, and now licensed in China? That’s not just a game; that’s a geopolitical flex. I’ve been burned by shiny promises before, but when I saw NEON’s team BAFTA and Emmy winners—I couldn’t look away.

The $SHRAP token’s already bouncing around, and I’m imagining a future where player-made skins flood the market. As an analyst, I’m drooling over the staking and governance angles; as a human, I’m scared we’re overhyping it. If it flops, we’ll feel the sting for months. But if it lands? We’re talking a new king in GameFi, and I’m not sleeping on that risk-reward.

Grand Gangsta City crept up on me. Open-world crime, AI-driven chaos, and NVIDIA’s stamp of approval? I didn’t expect to care, but then I saw it’s on Sei Network, and my trader senses tingled. No loud presale, just a free mint and a promise of something massive.

I’m picturing GTA on blockchain, and my heart’s racing because I’ve seen these sleeper hits turn into monsters think Axie Infinity before the boom. The X buzz is light,

but the Discord’s humming, and I’m torn between jumping in early or waiting for proof. It’s a gamble, and I’m sweating it, because if this dips with the market, I’ll kick myself for not warning you louder.

And then there’s Immutable. Oh man, Immutable’s not a game it’s the damn arena. A Layer-2 on Ethereum, 500+ titles, and a 71% growth spurt in 2024? I saw their GDC 2025 plans, and I nearly choked on my coffee. They’re not playing small they’re onboarding Netmarble, dropping Tokyo Beast, and acting like the market dip’s just a speed bump. As a trader, I’m eyeing $IMX like it’s my next big swing; as an insider, I’m screaming at you to watch this ecosystem. It’s the backbone of half the games I just mentioned, and if they pull off even half their promises, we’re looking at a portfolio lifeline when everything else is red.

Here’s the raw truth: the market’s a mess, and I’m as shaken as you are. But these five? They’re my lifeline, my shot at redemption after too many bad calls. Bitmates is my quiet obsession, Off The Grid’s my adrenaline fix, Shrapnel’s my high-stakes bet, Grand Gangsta City’s my dark horse, and Immutable’s my rock.

I’m not promising you the moon hell, I’ve lost enough to know better but I’m telling you, straight from the trenches, these are the ones keeping me sane. Dig in, do your homework, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll ride this storm out together. What do you think am I crazy, or are you feeling it too?

Hong Kong Regulator Now Lets Regulated Firms Offer Staking Services

Drawing a parallel between floppy disks and innovation, Choi said Monday blockchain tech has the potential to "rewrite the rules" of finance.

Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) published guidance Monday permitting licensed virtual asset trading platforms to offer staking services, following its efforts to establish the city as a hub for crypto and virtual assets in the AsiaPacific region.

The announcement came during SFC Executive Director Christina Choi's keynote speech at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025, during which she framed how virtual assets could spur innovation in finance.

Stablecoin Issuer Circle Says USDC Now Default Currency for New Binance Pay Users

The payment solution developed by the leading crypto exchange Binance has made the stablecoin USDC the default currency for its new users.

In a post on social media platform X, USDC issuer Circle says that its US-dollar pegged stablecoin is now the preset token on Binance

Pay, which also supports over 100 other crypto assets.

“USDC is now the default currency for new Binance Pay users!

With Binance Pay, users can send and receive USDC to friends and family instantly with zero gas fees, and businesses can accept USDC payments seamlessly.”

Choi, who leads the SFC's Investments Products Division, recounted how her son mistook a floppy disk for a "3D-printed save button." While the illustration appears to be reused, Choi's statements were meant to reflect on "how fast technology races forward."

The new framework for staking—a process where investors lock virtual assets to support blockchain networks and earn rewards— requires platforms to maintain custody of staked assets while implementing specific safeguards.

Licensed platforms need to receive SFC approval before offering staking services.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire commends Binance’s decision. He says the development will allow millions of users to more readily access USDC on the exchange’s crypto payment platform.

“A big move by Binance, who has quietly built one of the largest financial super apps in the world with over 250 million users, and has now made USDC the default currency for Binance Pay,

their P2P (peer to peer) and merchant payment solution with over 40 million monthly active users (MAUs).”

USDC is currently the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, with a valuation of over $60.518 billion.

Tether (USDT) is still the leading stablecoin by a large margin, with a market cap of $144.03 billion.

CZ Signs MoU with Kyrgyzstan to Develop Crypto and Blockchain Ecosystem

With a new MoU, Kyrgyzstan and CZ will develop blockchain solutions, enhance security, and promote educational initiatives in crypto.

Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Kyrgyz Republic’s National Investment Agency (NIA). The main objective behind the latest strategic partnership is to develop the country’s cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem.

The agreement, which was announced on April 3 by Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov, outlines plans for collaboration in regulatory consulting, infrastructure development, and education initiatives.

Backing Kyrgyz Crypto Efforts

According to the official statement, the partnership will focus on strengthening Kyrgyzstan’s technological infrastructure, improving digital asset security, and supporting the training of local specialists in blockchain, cybersecurity, and virtual asset management.

CZ confirmed the partnership in a post on X, while stating that he advises multiple governments – both formally and informally – on blockchain frameworks and their potential applications beyond trading.

“I officially and unofficially advise a few governments on their crypto regulatory frameworks."

Dubai Land Department and VARA to tokenize real estate for fractional investments

Terraform Labs, the firm behind the now-defunct Terra USD token, has announced the opening of a creditor claims portal on March 31, 2025, as part of its ongoing bankruptcy process.

This initiative aims to allow affected creditors to submit claims for losses incurred from investments in certain cryptocurrencies linked to the company’s downfall. The estimated repayment range for these claims is between $185 million and $442 million.

In a statement released on March 28, Terraform Labs Pte. Ltd. and Terraform Labs Limited, collectively referred to as the “Debtors,” outlined their plans to wind down operations.

The newly established Crypto Loss Claims submission process will enable creditors to file claims stemming from the dramatic collapse of the Terra USD token and subsequent events that led to the firm’s bankruptcy.

Terraform Labs’ Crypto Loss Claims Portal, managed by Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC, will be accessible starting March 31, 2025, at claims.terra.money. Creditors wishing to file claims must submit their Crypto Loss Claim Forms electronically through this portal, along with any supporting documentation.

All claims must be submitted by April 30, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Claims submitted after this deadline.

Whale Deposits 248 ETH to Coinbase After

Eight Years of Dormancy

The first transaction from a dormant Ethereum whale occurred when it transferred 248 ETH worth $444,000 to Coinbase. The whale initiated its first transaction since its eight-year inactive period.
