Under the agreement, Gemini is also banned from conducting any crypto lending program in the state.ย
The settlement comes after NYAG Letitia James said Gemini "misled thousands of investors," including New Yorkers, on risks tied to the Gemini Earn program. Gemini Earn allowed Gemini customers to loan their crypto to now-bankrupt Genesis Global Capital, LLC, and earn up to 7.4 percent APY.ย

- **World's Biggest Crypto Exchange Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao personal holdings in his exchange-issued token BNB, It is 64% of the entire supply, with a nominal value of $56 billion.**
## Binanceโs founder, known to crypto followers as CZ, is spending the summer in Santa Barbaraโs Lompoc minimum security prison. As crypto markets climb, Forbes reveals the secret source of his ballooning billions.
**Changpeng Zhao **is in good condition **inside the prison** . Already the richest person to go behind bars and the wealthiest person in crypto many times over, Zhaoโs net worth has soared since he became a felon.
**Forbes***** *****now estimates that he is worth $61 billion,** making him the 24th richest person in the world, just after Julia Koch and family. The next richest person in crypto is **Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong at $11 billion.**
The big change to CZโs net worth comes from Forbes' discovery of his personal holdings in his exchange-issued token **BNB,** which we estimate to be **94 million tokens or 64% of the total 147.5 million BNB tokens in circulation.** Forbes estimates that Binance **owns 71% of the BNB supply.**
CZโs upward revision has two components. First, his 90% equity stake in Binance, the large crypto exchange, is valued at $33 billion despite CZ stepping down as CEO in November 2023 as part of a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in which he pled guilty to anti-money laundering and sanctions violations. His company also paid a $4.3 billion fine to the government. However, the impact on Zhaoโs personal wealth was less severe, since he only had to pay a $50 million fine. In the six months since his plea, Binance actually increased its dominance among crypto exchanges worldwide in terms of trading volume (though it was excluded from *Forbesโ *list of the most trustworthy crypto exchanges.) According to data compiled from *The Block*, its share of the total spot market across exchanges has increased to 42% in the six months since he left the company from an average of 38% in the two months before his settlement.

- **Cryptocurrency Bitcoin History Details:**
IN NOVEMBER 1, 2008**,** a man named Satoshi Nakamoto posted a research paper to an obscure cryptography listserv describing his design for a new digital currency that he called bitcoin. None of the list's veterans had heard of him, and what little information could be gleaned was murky and contradictory. In an online profile, he said he lived in Japan. His email address was from a free German service. Google searches for his name turned up no relevant information; it was clearly a pseudonym. But while Nakamoto himself may have been a puzzle, his creation cracked a problem that had stumped cryptographers for decades. The idea of digital moneyโconvenient and untraceable, liberated from the oversight of governments and banksโhad been a hot topic since the birth of the Internet.
Cypherpunks, the 1990s movement of libertarian cryptographers, dedicated themselves to the project. Yet every effort to create virtual cash had foundered. Ecash, an anonymous system launched in the early 1990s by cryptographer David Chaum, failed in part because it depended on the existing infrastructures of government and credit card companies. Other proposals followedโbit gold, RPOW, b-moneyโbut none got off the ground.
One of the core challenges of designing a digital currency involves something called the double-spending problem. If a digital dollar is just information, free from the corporeal strictures of paper and metal, what's to prevent people from copying and pasting it as easily as a chunk of text, "spending" it as many times as they want? The conventional answer involved using a central clearinghouse to keep a real-time ledger of all transactionsโensuring that, if someone spends his last digital dollar, he can't then spend it again. The ledger prevents fraud, but it also requires a trusted third party to administer it.
Bitcoin did away with the third party by publicly distributing the ledger, what Nakamoto called the "block chain." Users willing to devote CPU power to running a special piece of software would be called miners and would form a network to maintain the block chain collectively. In the process, they would also generate new currency. Transactions would be broadcast to the network, and computers running the software would compete to solve irreversible cryptographic puzzles that contain data from several transactions. The first miner to solve each puzzle would be awarded 50 new bitcoins, and the associated block of transactions would be added to the chain. The difficulty of each puzzle would increase as the number of miners increased, which would keep production to one block of transactions roughly every 10 minutes. In addition, the size of each block bounty would halve every 210,000 blocksโfirst from 50 bitcoins to 25, then from 25 to 12.5, and so on. Around the year 2140, the currency would reach its preordained limit of 21 million bitcoins.
When Nakamoto's paper came out in 2008, trust in the ability of governments and banks to manage the economy and the money supply was at its nadir. The US government was throwing dollars at Wall Street and the Detroit car companies. The Federal Reserve was introducing "quantitative easing," essentially printing money in order to stimulate the economy. The price of gold was rising. Bitcoin required no faith in the politicians or financiers who had wrecked the economyโjust in Nakamoto's elegant algorithms. Not only did bitcoin's public ledger seem to protect against fraud, but the predetermined release of the digital currency kept the bitcoin money supply growing at a predictable rate, immune to printing-press-happy central bankers and Weimar Republic-style hyperinflation.
Nakamoto himself mined the first 50 bitcoinsโwhich came to be called the genesis blockโon January 3, 2009. For a year or so, his creation remained the province of a tiny group of early adopters. But slowly, word of bitcoin spread beyond the insular world of cryptography. It has won accolades from some of digital currency's greatest minds. Wei Dai, inventor of b-money, calls it "very significant"; Nick Szabo, who created bit gold, hails bitcoin as "a great contribution to the world"; and Hal Finney, the eminent cryptographer behind RPOW, says it's "potentially world-changing." The Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocate for digital privacy, eventually started accepting donations in the alternative currency.
The small band of early bitcoiners all shared the communitarian spirit of an open source software project. Gavin Andresen, a coder in New England, bought 10,000 bitcoins for $50 and created a site called the Bitcoin Faucet, where he gave them away for the hell of it. Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida programmer, conducted what bitcoiners think of as the first real-world bitcoin transaction, paying 10,000 bitcoins to get two pizzas delivered from Papa John's. (He sent the bitcoins to a volunteer in England, who then called in a credit card order transatlantically.) A farmer in Massachusetts named David Forster began accepting bitcoins as payment for alpaca socks.
When they weren't busy mining, the faithful tried to solve the mystery of the man they called simply Satoshi. On a bitcoin IRC channel, someone noted portentously that in Japanese *Satoshi* means "wise." Someone else wondered whether the name might be a sly portmanteau of four tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola. It seemed doubtful that Nakamoto was even Japanese. His English had the flawless, idiomatic ring of a native speaker.
Perhaps, it was suggested, Nakamoto wasn't one man but a mysterious group with an inscrutable purposeโa team at Google, maybe, or the National Security Agency. "I exchanged some emails with whoever Satoshi supposedly is," says Hanyecz, who was on bitcoin's core developer team for a time. "I always got the impression it almost wasn't a real person. I'd get replies maybe every two weeks, as if someone would check it once in a while. Bitcoin seems awfully well designed for one person to crank out."
Nakamoto revealed little about himself, limiting his online utterances to technical discussion of his source code. On December 5, 2010, after bitcoiners started to call for Wikileaks to accept bitcoin donations, the normally terse and all-business Nakamoto weighed in with uncharacteristic vehemence. "No, don't 'bring it on,'" he wrote in a post to the bitcoin forum. "The project needs to grow gradually so the software can be strengthened along the way. I make this appeal to Wikileaks not to try to use bitcoin. Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage."
Then, as unexpectedly as he had appeared, Nakamoto vanished. At 6:22 pm GMT on December 12, seven days after his Wikileaks plea, Nakamoto posted his final message to the bitcoin forum, concerning some minutiae in the latest version of the software. His email responses became more erratic, then stopped altogether. Andresen, who had taken over the role of lead developer, was now apparently one of just a few people with whom he was still communicating. On April 26, Andresen told fellow coders: "Satoshi did suggest this morning that I (we) should try to de-emphasize the whole 'mysterious founder' thing when talking publicly about bitcoin." Then Nakamoto stopped replying even to Andresen's emails. Bitcoiners wondered plaintively why he had left them. But by then his creation had taken on a life of its own.

- **U.S. President Joe Bidenโs campaign is in discussions with cryptocurrency industry players about accepting crypto donations through Coinbase Commerce, sources familiar with the matter told The Block.**
Coinbase Commerce, a payments service that allows merchants to accept dozens of cryptocurrencies, already powers crypto donations to presumptive Republican candidate Donald Trumpโs campaign, which began accepting digital currency contributions last month.
The discussions mark the Biden campaignโs latest efforts to explore ways to court crypto-focused voters in the run-up to an election that some experts on Capitol Hill believe will be decided by a razor-thin margin, according to sources who asked to remain anonymous, citing the sensitivity of the discussions. It also comes as Bidenโs team may be looking to bolster its coffers with funds from cash-flush pro-crypto donors, one source told The Block.

- @lens/zksync **will conduct a token airdrop to 695,232 eligible wallets next week, totaling 3.675 billion ZK tokens**, accounting for 17.5% of the total supply of 21 billion ZK tokens. 49.1% will be distributed through ecosystem programs, 17.2% to investors, and 16.1% to Matter Labs.
**Holdstation** wallet said that its users are top recipients of ZK tokens per wallet. **Holdstation, with over 441,000 users, accounts for over 63% of wallets eligible for ZK tokens (approximately 700,000 wallets)**. Using ZKSync with this smart wallet, users engage in various activities: interacting with smart contracts, using Paymaster, trading, and providing liquidity.
**The ZK distribution airdrops a minimum 450 ZK & maximum of 100,000 ZK tokens per address** for the usage-based airdrop. **In this current situation there is dissatisfaction among many in the zksync discord and twitter community at this distribution calculation.**
For example, **a popular crypto influencer in india** @lens/holdbtc already tweeted that, he and his biggest community not agree of Zksync distribution airdrop a maximum **100,000 ZK token per wallet address** because many have been ineligible to get rewards even after working fairly for the past one year. he also mentioned in the tweet that the 100k ZK Token allocation that he received should be deducted from his wallet and re-distributed among those who are not ineligible in the Zksync's criteria.
**According to the Zksync community, ZK airdrop criteria were mostly in favor of** \*\*Holdstation wallet. \*\*The Zksync community is hopeful that the Zksync project team will surely find a solution to the matter.

- # **Loopring suffers $5 million hack after 'Guardian' two-factor authentication service is compromised.**
**Loopring (LRC),** the **zkEVM protocol** built on Ethereum with a website that bills its smart wallet application as "Ethereum's most secure wallet," suffered a security breach related to its 'Guardian' two-factor authentication service, the protocol announced on Sunday.ย
Through the Guardian service, users can elect to name wallets of trusted individuals or institutions to assist in security operations such as locking a compromised wallet or restoring one if the seed phrase is lost. However, a hacker managed to bypass Loopring's own Official Guardian service to instigate recoveries on wallets with that single guardian without the users' permission, Loopring disclosed in its announcement.
As more than half of guardians are needed to instigate transactions, according to Loopring's website, wallets that used multiple guardians or a different, third-party guardian were protected from the exploit.ย
Loopring also shared two wallet addresses the protocol says were involved in the security breach. Blockchain data shows one wallet was able to drain about **$5 million** worth of tokens from the affected wallets.ย

Among those funds, Grayscaleโs GBTC remains the biggest holder of bitcoin with 289,300 tokens worth more than $ 20 billion, followed closely by BlackRockโs IBIT at 283,200 and $ 19.6 billion.
The spot ETFs ended Wednesday with their eighth straight day of net inflows, gobbling over 24,500 BTC over that period. This is a nearly 180-degree turn from the action of the past few weeks โ with some of the biggest ETFs seeing zero inflows and even net outflows on some days.

- Iran President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a Sunday helicopter crash along with the Islamic republic's foreign minister and others, the country's state media confirmed Monday morning. Raisi, a hardline Islamic cleric who had been tipped as a possible successor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was 63.
Under the Islamic republic's governing system, Raisi, like all presidents who served before him since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that brought the ayatollahs to power, is not the country's ultimate decision-maker. All government officials, along with the military and all law enforcement agencies, answer ultimately to Khamenei, who at 85 has ruled over the country since 1989 as its second supreme leader.

- The Biden Administration's proposed 30% tax on electricity use for digital asset mining operations is raising concerns among crypto miners that they could be priced out of operating in the U.S. market communities.
Crypto miners in the United States represent over 29% of the total nodes on the Bitcoin network. But that percentage may fall if costs increase and other locations become more attractive.
One emerging option is the Middle East region, where taxes tend to be lower, energy is often bountiful, and environmental regulation is generally less onerous.
The Oman government has invested more than $ 800 million in crypto-mining operations. The UAEโs 400 megawatts of Bitcoin mining is about 4% of the global Bitcoin mining hashrate, according to data from the Hashrate Index. Migration to the energy-rich region could favor U.S miners, backers in the region claim.
โCompared to the U.S., the south of Oman has a few geopolitical advantages that are unique. It is very good for connections, as itโs next to submarine cables landing. It has, low \[cost] electricity, reduced political risk, and favorable weather conditions for data centers,โ said Olivier Ohnheiser, CEO of Green Data City, an Oman crypto-mining firm, told CoinDesk during Bitmainโs World Digital Mining Summit in Oman at the end of March.

- Coinbase is developing a service that will specifically target Australia' self-managed pensions sector, the exchangeโs Asia-Pacific Managing Director John OโLoghlen told Bloomberg.
Cryptoโs relationship with the pensions sector and retirees isn't exactly new. Self-managed funds in Australia have increasingly held crypto since March 2019. According to the latest data from the Australian Taxation Office, nearly A$ 1 billion ($ 664 million) is allocated to crypto. Thatโs a steep increase from only $ 131.5 million (197 million AU) in December 2019.
Thousands of Australians who used self-managed pension funds to bet on cryptocurrencies have even lost millions of dollars, Reuters reported in March 2023.
โSelf-managed super funds might just make a single allocation, set it and forget it,โ OโLoghlen told Bloomberg. We are working on an offering to service those clients really well on a one-off basisโto have them trade with us and stay with us.โ
