Quick Glance: Sam Bankman-Fried's Verdict: 25-Year Prison Term - BBC News

Sam Bankman-Fried received a 25-year prison sentence. Key details from the court hearing in New York were summarized, focusing on his defense lawyer's arguments and the judge's ruling.

The judge criticized SBF's lack of remorse, noting that he had never expressed a word of regret for committing terrible crimes. Customers who lost money in the collapse reported experiencing nightmares.

SBF admitted to making a series of poor decisions but claimed that customers could be reimbursed. The judge pointed out that the assertion that customers would be fully repaid through the bankruptcy process was misleading.

The court hearing also included testimonies from customers who lost significant amounts of money, insights into SBF's background, and the reasons behind the collapse of his company FTX.

Quick Glance: Bitcoin: Why the Surge Might Not Last

Bitcoin is back in the limelight with a significant surge to record levels and wild fluctuations.

The resurgence of the Bitcoin market was significantly influenced by the decision of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve the spot trading of bitcoins by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January.

The introduction of ETFs and the upcoming "halving" of mined Bitcoins are key factors influencing the price.

The trading volatility signals that Bitcoin remains among the riskiest assets, highly dependent on future US interest rates.

Paid articlePaid

Quick Glance: Bitcoin Surpasses $60,000, Approaching All-Time High

Bitcoin has crossed the $60,000 mark, inching closer to its all-time high and maintaining its upward trajectory after the green light was given for a new investment option linked to the cryptocurrency.

According to AFP, as of 1325 GMT on Wednesday, bitcoin was trading around $60,301, edging towards its all-time high of $68,991 recorded in November 2021, a level that some analysts believe could soon be revisited.

The recent surge in the cryptocurrency's value can be attributed partly to US securities regulators' approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to bitcoin on January 10.

This has created new opportunities for a broader segment of the public to invest in bitcoin indirectly without the need to hold the digital currency directly. However, the approval of these funds has sparked a renewed sense of optimism and interest in the cryptocurrency market.

Quick Glance: Crypto Firm Transferred $4.2m to Wallet of Alleged Russian Arms Dealer

A UK cryptocurrency firm transferred digital assets worth over $4.2 million to a crypto wallet owned by a member of an alleged Russian arms-dealing network who was later sanctioned by the United States.

Transactions by Copper Technologies raise questions about UK laws governing the cryptocurrency industry adapting quickly enough to keep up with the evolving sector under scrutiny for providing anonymity.

An analysis of cryptocurrency transactions highlights a connection between Copper and Jonatan Zimenkov, an Israeli-born Russian national.

Revelations shed light on the opaque world of cryptocurrency, its anonymity, and the need for regulation of digital assets within the financial system.

Quick Glance: Bitcoin price surges: Reasons behind the cryptocurrency's resurgence

Bitcoin has rebounded after a previous downturn, with a supply-demand imbalance counteracting the impact of interest rates.

Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing a sustained recovery to levels last seen during low interest rates and high art prices.

In February, the cryptocurrency market's total value reached $2 trillion for the first time since April 2022, amidst the potential for prolonged higher interest rates.

The increasing demand for Bitcoin ETF approvals and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event are contributing to the current surge in demand.
