๐Ÿš€ CZ Memoir Details FTX Collapse, $7B Binance Bank Run, and Exchange Signal Group Scrutiny

According to CoinDesk, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) writes in his memoir Freedom of Money, released Tuesday, that he never seriously intended to acquire FTX during its November 2022 collapse, describing Sam Bankman-Fried's funding request as made "nonchalantly, as if he were asking for a bologna sandwich," and characterizing the non-binding letter of intent as a formality to assess user protection options. CZ identifies Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison's public offer to buy FTT at $22 as a "fatal mistake" that gave professional traders a floor price to short, sending the token from $22 to $5 and triggering $6 billion in outflows within 72 hours. He also discloses a Signal group called "Exchange Collaboration," set up by FTX's Zane Tackett during the Terra/LUNA collapse, including executives from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and FTX, which later drew DOJ and SEC scrutiny; CZ denies any collusion. A subsequent bank run on Binance saw $7 billion withdrawn in a single day on Dec. 14, 2022, which CZ says was fully backed by reserves and reversed within a month.

๐Ÿš€ STOCKS | South Korean Assets Surge Following U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Agreement

U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, easing concerns over prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies and sparking widespread risk appetite. According to Jin10, South Korean assets experienced significant gains, with the benchmark Kospi index surging by 6.2%, leading Asian stock markets and marking its fourth consecutive day of increases. Major chipmakers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix saw their stock prices rise by over 9%.

๐Ÿš€ U.S. Justice Department Opposes Dismissal of Charges Against Tornado Cash Co-Founder

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has expressed opposition to the latest request by Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm to dismiss criminal charges against him. According to BlockBeats, the DOJ stated that a recent Supreme Court ruling, cited by Storm's lawyer, is unrelated to the case and should not be grounds for dismissal.

Storm's legal team had planned to use a new Supreme Court decision from a civil copyright infringement case to support their motion to dismiss. However, U.S. prosecutors argued in a letter to the federal judge that the ruling pertains to a different situation and industry, and therefore should not impact the handling of Storm's criminal charges.

This legal battle highlights the Trump administration's conflicting stance on the cryptocurrency sector. While the U.S. government has shown some support for crypto policies, it continues to pursue criminal accountability for certain crypto project developers. As the situation stands, Storm may still face retrial, with the case potentially returning to court proceedings.
