Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, has requested his release; however, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals has maintained the decision to refuse his request. This choice was made in response to an appeal by Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) legal counsel, which was principally motivated by First Amendment issues.

Nouns DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), suffered a devastating split that cost it $27 million in cryptocurrency out of its $50 million fund.

The Nouns DAO community, notable for paying $90,000 on the name rights for a rare frog, split, with a number of dissident investors “forking” from the main body. A DAO functions in a similar way to a typical business, but it strives for greater decentralization and, ultimately, no centralized leadership. Anyone who buys an NFT from a DAO receives a vote…

The unknown policy direction of the BOJ, in the opinion of volatility trader Gryphon Ardern from the crypto asset management company Blofin, increases the likelihood that it would shock the market beyond expectations.

With the addition of trillions of dollars in new global liquidity and…
