Top Stories This Week

Musk’s deal for Twitter looks set to go with original $44B price tag

Elon Musk is back on track to buy Twitter. The billionaire originally decided to buy the social media network back in April 2022, settling on a price tag of roughly $44 billion. He subsequently attempted to cancel the agreement, claiming inadequate transparency from Twitter regarding the firm’s financial health as well as fake account and spam bot prevalence on the platform. Musk now intends to complete the original $44 billion deal, according to a legal filing.

EU regulators ban cross-border payments from Russian crypto accounts

In light of recent escalations in the Ukraine-Russia war, the European Union has banned crypto activity between member regions and Russia, no matter how small the transaction. The ban covers “all crypto-asset wallets, accounts, or custody services, irrespective of the amount of the wallet,” according to an Oct. 6 statement from the European Commission. Russia, on the other hand, has taken the opposite stance, evident in its approval of cross-border crypto activity in recent weeks.

SWIFT says it has reached a ‘breakthrough’ in recent CBDC experiments

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a key cog in the global payments system, unveiled a successful test related to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). In short, the test proved interoperability between CBDCs globally. “For CBDCs, our solution will enable central banks to connect their own networks simply and directly to all the other payments systems in the world through a single gateway,” SWIFT chief innovation officer Tom Zschach said in an Oct. 5 statement. SWIFT’s other test pertained to tokenized assets.

Most Memorable Quotations

“A year ago, nobody’s asking me questions about bankruptcy. A year ago, everybody was asking me questions about DeFi and things like that.

Diogo Mónica, president and co-founder of Anchorage Digital

“NFTs can give you the technical ability to take ownership of a game asset out of the control of the publisher of the game.

Alex Dunmow, CEO of Ninja Syndicate

“This recession is in its earliest stages, and the smarter play is to let the Fed’s monetary policy shifts play out and save capital.

Richard Gardner, CEO of Modulus

“As it stands, owning digital art is still relatively foreign to most people and, at most, it’s a cool concept.

Ted Mui, CEO of Kuma Games

“All financial goods will move across blockchain networks in the future.

Matthew Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management

“That’s our mandate: not to make a world with Bitcoin or Ethereum, or not make that world — it’s just to understand what’s going on, set up a system where we […] make sure people have good resources to understand what’s happening.”

Curtis Loftis, treasurer for the U.S. state of South Carolina

Prediction of the Week 

A crumbling stock market could create profitable opportunities for Bitcoin traders

Bitcoin posted another week of largely range-bound price action, trading between $19,000 and $20,500 for the most part, according to Cointelegraph’s BTC price index.

Cointelegraph analyst Marcel Pechman detailed the potential importance of Q3 earnings announcements expected in October from big companies such as Tesla and Apple. If negative, the announcements could lead to a falling BTC price if the asset remains correlated to mainstream markets. In contrast, Bitcoin’s scarcity could appeal to investors if inflation woes continue.

FUD of the Week 

Kim Kardashian pays SEC $1.26 million to settle EthereumMax charge

Kim Kardashian faces legal action from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for not disclosing one of her Instagram posts as being sponsored, according to the regulator. The celebrity accepted $250,000 in exchange for publishing a promotional post about crypto project EthereumMax (EMAX) on her Instagram account. The act will cost Kardashian a total of $1.26 million in fines, which she has agreed to pay despite not confirming or denying the charges.

BNB Chain back online after suspension due to a cross-chain exploit

BNB Chain was paused briefly this week to combat a cross-chain attack related to the BSC Token Hub bridge. The exploit “resulted in extra BNB,” according to an Oct. 6 tweet from Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Although the chain was able to freeze $7 million, estimates say roughly $70 to $80 million was stolen, down from earlier estimates of $100 million. BNB Chain successfully resumed activity on Oct. 7.

South Korean judge dismisses warrant for individual involved in Terra collapse: Report

The broad hunt for members of the Terra team has resulted in its first arrest: head of Terraform Labs’ business team Yoo Mo was taken into custody by South Korean police. A Seoul Southern District Court judge dismissed the arrest warrant shortly after, questioning the regulatory claims of the accusations, although Mo is not allowed to leave South Korea. The Terra crypto project collapsed in outlandish fashion earlier in 2022. Project leader Do Kwon remains at large.
