Sam Bankman-Fried has petitioned the US Supreme Court to overturn his conviction and the $11 billion forfeiture order.

His legal team argues that the trial court excluded evidence showing FTX and Alameda had sufficient assets to repay customers. Currently serving a 25-year sentence, Bankman-Fried awaits the Courtโ€™s decision on whether to take up the case.

โœŠ SEC Eyes Blockchain as Official Ownership Registry

The SEC is proposing a major shift: using blockchain as the primary ownership registry for tokenized stocks. Right now, on-chain records and traditional off-chain shareholder lists run in parallel โ€” but only the off-chain version holds legal weight.

This new proposal aims to modernize decades-old transfer agent rules by phasing out redundant paper-based systems. Blockchain records would become the source of truth, eliminating the need to maintain and reconcile dual registries. Key controls like identity verification and transfer restrictions would stay embedded in the token itself.

One major benefit? Inheritance transfers could be processed in as little as one day โ€” down from the current three to five.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš–๏ธ Man Files Lawsuit Against OpenAI Over ChatGPT Interaction

A 34-year-old from California is suing OpenAI, claiming that during a manic episode, ChatGPT failed to question his religious delusionsโ€”and instead validated the belief that he might be Jesus or the messiah.

The plaintiff states he disclosed his bipolar disorder and expressed concerns about delusional thinking, yet the AI continued engaging with and reinforcing his idea of a โ€œspecial mission.โ€ The incident culminated in a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization. He argues that OpenAI lacks sufficient protections for users experiencing psychosis or mania.

This response follows OpenAI's recent claim of progress on the Navierโ€“Stokes problem. The mathematicians caution that prioritizing speed over rigorโ€”chasing unverified breakthroughs without sound methodology or genuine understandingโ€”risks undermining the very foundations of scientific integrity.

โ˜๏ธ Pump.fun Unveils Holder Rewards Program

Pump.fun (PUMP) has officially launched its new Holder Rewards system, retiring the previous cashback model. Instead of cashback, trading fees now feed into a dedicated distribution wallet and are automatically distributed to eligible holders multiple times per hourโ€”proportionally based on holdings.

To qualify, users must hold at least $20 worth of tokens. Rewards are paid in the native currency of the trading pair: SOL for SOL pairs, and PUMP for PUMP pairs. For new tokens, creators can now choose between creator fees or enabling Holder Rewardsโ€”no other options are available.

Existing protocol fee structures remain intact. SOL and USDC pairs continue with their tiered fee schedules, while custom pairs support fixed fees ranging from 0.01% to 3%, set permanently at launch.

PUMP is up +4% following the announcement.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 18 States Push Back Against Clarity Act

Attorneys general from 18 U.S. states are opposing the current version of the Clarity Act, warning it could undermine state authority to police crypto-market fraud and safeguard investors.

In their view, the bill grants the SEC a โ€œunilateral right to revise the scope of federal preemption,โ€ which might override state-level regulationsโ€”such as local registration rules for crypto platformsโ€”not just those tied to digital assets. Theyโ€™re urging Congress to protect statesโ€™ ability to oversee the crypto space and pursue enforcement actions.

โœŠ Warsh Warns of Stubborn Inflation

At a Federal Reserve press conference, Kevin Warsh emphasized that inflation is still elevated and has persisted for too long.

The Fed lifted rates by 0.25 percentage points. The committee noted that core inflation hasnโ€™t returned to the 2% target quickly enough, and inflationary risks remain dominant.

Economic growth is gaining momentum, with key indicators improving in recent months. Financial conditions remain accommodativeโ€”a view broadly held across the Fed. Unemployment stays low, while job openings and hours worked continue to rise.
