Lucy Hu, analista senior presso la società di gestione di asset digitali con sede a Hong Kong Metalpha, afferma che il mercato più ampio continua a reggere abbastanza bene nonostante il recente hack di Ledger con tagli dei tassi all'orizzonte e cose come gli ordinali che guidano un maggiore interesse per bitcoin. "L'enorme hack di Ledger ha fatto cambiare un po' di opinione nello spazio DeFi e solleva importanti questioni sulla sicurezza del portafoglio", ha affermato in un'intervista via e-mail. "Inoltre, l'ascesa stellare di Bitcoin Ordinals continua ad alimentare l'entusiasmo per i miner di Bitcoin, che sono stati ampiamente ricompensati. Ci aspettiamo che lo slancio di crescita a lungo termine di Bitcoin rimanga in carreggiata". #BTC#

Ex-FTX lawyer Can Sun is leading the way with Trek Labs, a Dubai-based startup that received a license to offer cryptocurrency services in the region in late October. Backpack Exchange is the name under which Trek Labs will offer those services.
Sun will receive support from ex-FTX employee, Armani Ferrante, who serves as CEO of Trek’s holding company in the British Virgin Islands, according to a Nov. 11 report by the Wall Street Journal. Ferrante also runs Backpack, a cryptocurrency wallet which is integrated in Backpack Exchange.
Sun’s former legal deputy at FTX, Claire Zhang, who is also Ferrante’s wife, is also on Trek’s executive team. However, once Trek raises an investment round, Zhang plans to transition out of the company as she has been working without pay to “help bootstrap the exchange," WSJ said.
Sun and Ferrante iterated they wanted to use the lessons learned from FTX’s failure to protect customer funds. Backpack’s technology offers a self-custody solution which integrates a multiparty computation (MPC) technique to ensure funds remain secure. MPC typically involves several parties approving a transaction before funds are moved.
