With the release of Julian Assange, members of the blockchain movement are demanding transparency regarding the funds raised for his defense. Following the WikiLeaks founder's release from Belmarsh prison on Tuesday, the AssangeDAO token (JUSTICE) is up more than 60% in 24 hours. 📈

The DAO, created in December 2021, has raised more than 16,593 ETH (more than $56 million at current prices) to defend Assange. However, the full cost accounting remains unknown.

Assange, an early investor in Bitcoin, saw cryptocurrency as an alternative. His release, supported in part by the DAO initiative, highlights the role of cryptocurrency as a catalyst for real change."
