User found $17 million in his cryptocurrency wallet due to Coingecko failure
The CoinGecko service began displaying a 117,000,000% increase in the price of the Volt Inu token overnight as a result of the failure. The same data is shown by the blockchain browser Etherscan.
The disruption also affected cryptocurrencies.
One user shared a screenshot of MetaMask, with his $15 tokens valued at $17 million
CoinGecko started displaying Volt Inu data incorrectly back on February 21.
However, the error has still not been fixed by now.

Why Bitcoin dropped, what does Ukraine have to do with it and what should investors expect?
On the evening of February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees "On Recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic" and "On Recognition of the Luhansk People's Republic."
Technically, the decision means Russia's recognition of the DNR and LNR's independence from Ukraine. News of this appeared on the Kremlin's official website.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky responded to the Russian authorities' decision with a statement that the country under his control would remain within its internationally recognized borders.
Participants of the cryptocurrency community noticed that the growing tension in the political arena has a negative impact on the dynamics of digital assets.
As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated, major cryptocurrencies repeatedly went into decline.
Also amid the escalation of the political conflict, Russians faced a depreciation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar.
Now it is better to wait out the storm and avoid selling at a loss, nevertheless I won't even repurchase, as there may be a chance it's just the beginning of a fall.

USDT is only 5% backed by dollars
According to a recent audit, the company has $4.18 billion in its accounts, a figure that was $7.2 billion last year.
Commercial bonds are also down 21%, but Tether has a large amount of U.S. Treasury securities in its accounts, generating small profits.

Georgia may become one of the world's top mining centers in the future
Analysts claim already nearly 200 000 citizens are involved in crypto-mining in one way or another, and the global giant Bitfury has been successfully operating in the country for more than 5 years.
Experts highlight several key features for the future of the country's mining boom: not extra expensive electricity, environmentally friendly energy sources, sane regulation and not too high political risks.
Especially relevant at a time of mining in Kazakhstan — it’s not that tough to transport equipment to Georgia.

Weird situation occurred recently in Russia
Two "FSB officers" robbed a 21-year-old crypto-owner from St. Petersburg — by beating the man, "two men in leather jackets" seized the victim's phone and gained access to the cryptocurrency wallet, from which they withdrew about half a million rubles.
How the criminals found out about the owner of the cryptocurrency and whether he stored it on a centralized exchange — remains unknown.

European Parliament delays vote on crypto assets bill over proof-of-work debate
▪️ Debate over proof-of-work mining, especially Bitcoin’s energy usage, has delayed votes on Europe’s long-awaited crypto markets directive.
▪️ Initially scheduled for February 28, the rapporteur in charge of the votes has put them off indefinitely as a leak of amendments that many saw as PoW bans generated public outcry.

Former SEC official: Ripple trial will drag on for years
Former US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official Joseph Hall predicted on the Thinking Crypto podcast the Ripple lawsuit could drag on for more than a year.
According to Hall, do not expect the trial to end in 2022.
The regulator in late 2020 accused Ripple of selling $1.3 billion in unregistered securities under the guise of XRP tokens.
Hall claims the lawsuit won't end anytime soon since the parties are firmly entrenched in their positions and won't take the deal.
Hall himself is backing the XRP token issuer in the regulator's dispute with Ripple.
According to the former official, the situation seems odd because the Ripple network had been operating for years before it was brought to the attention of the SEC and sued.
