Tether, backed by the largest stablecoin USDT with a market capitalization of 83 billion dollars, has made an undisclosed investment in the German
#cryptocurrency mining company, Northern Data Group. This partnership has ties to artificial intelligence. Although Tether denied the report of a 420 million dollar investment, it did not specify the actual amount. This investment will not affect the reserves or customer funds of Tether.

ChatGPT Creates Token for Ethereum
Developers from
#Ethereum utilized ChatGPT to create their own ERC-20 token, named AstroPepeX, inspired by popular tokens on the Uniswap exchange. User CroissantETH detailed the process of integrating ChatGPT through OpenAI's API and creating the token with an estimated market capitalization of 3.5 million dollars.
Etherscan data reveals that AstroPepeX now has over 2,300 holders, and since its inception on September 20, more than 17,700 transactions have taken place. ChatGPT was also employed to deploy smart contracts on Ethereum after analyzing 10,000 of the most traded tokens on Uniswap.

Appeals Court Denies Release Request of Former FTX CEO
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, faced disappointment as the United States Appeals Court for the Second Circuit rejected his request for early release from prison. A panel of three judges concluded that the arguments presented by his team in favor of the release were not sufficiently convincing:
On September 21st, judges John M. Walker Jr., Denny Chin, and William Nardini determined that the reasons put forth by Bankman-Fried and his legal team were insufficient. The records indicate that Judge Lewis Kaplan, overseeing the case, correctly identified Bankman-Fried's actions as witness tampering.
A detailed analysis of the court decision revealed that the district court thoroughly evaluated all essential aspects, particularly Bankman-Fried's behavior, leading to the continuous tightening of his release conditions. While the court considered less restrictive measures, such as limiting his communication with the media, they concluded that such a solution would not be effective in the long term.
A primary point of contention was Bankman-Fried's previous act of providing a New York Times reporter with the private diaries of Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research. This act was interpreted as an attempt to intimidate witnesses. Additionally, Bankman-Fried's lawyers pointed out his limited access to the internet, which could have hindered his ability to adequately prepare for the upcoming legal proceedings.
During the hearing on September 19th, both sides presented their arguments. The situation was pivotal for Sam, especially after Judge Kaplan, in August, revoked his $250 million bail, leading to his transfer to a prison in Brooklyn.
Given that the appellate court's decision comes just before the planned trial on October 3rd, it's likely that Bankman-Fried will remain incarcerated until his criminal trial. Though another court proceeding is anticipated in March 2024, Bankman-Fried denies all charges and maintains his innocence.
