The report only focuses on funds stolen by cryptocurrency hackers and those identified as illegal addresses. Despite the decrease, it is worth emphasizing that compared to illegal activities in the broader financial industry, cryptocurrency-related crimes are still small.

Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz recently explained in a Bloomberg TV interview the reasons why Bitcoin prices are expected to "significantly rise", with his bullish forecast depending on the possibility of the US SEC approving the first US spot Bitcoin ETF.
Novogratz explained: "Bitcoin will usher in a number of positive factors, including the upcoming ETF, which the industry has high expectations for. Some of these have already been reflected in the price." He also said that when the announcement of the launch of the spot Bitcoin ETF is actually announced (Novogratz believes it will take two months before trading begins), BlackRock, Ark, Fidelity, and his own company will "use their sales force to convince people to adopt Bitcoin".
Novogratz also emphasized that BTC prices will rise significantly, especially in the event of a possible rate cut by the Federal Reserve, and believes that by this time next year, Bitcoin may reach its historical high. (Bitcoin.com)

The trustee responsible for rehabilitating the now-defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox has announced that payments to creditors will begin before the end of the year. However, due to the large number of creditors and varying types of repayments, some may have to wait until 2024 to receive their payments. Individual creditors will not receive advance notice of their payment schedule, but they can check their repayment status on the MTGOX online rehabilitation claim filing system. Mt. Gox was hacked in 2011, resulting in the theft of 850,000 BTC worth approximately $500 million at the time.

What differentiates a security from a collectible? That question is at the heart of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s lawsuit against Coinbase, as the agency is accusing the company of selling unregistered securities and operating an unlicensed staking-as-a-service program.
But after the SEC’s lawyers faced pointed questions from New York District Judge Katherine Polk Failla, who wondered aloud whether or not the agency’s definition of collectibles was too broad, a Bloomberg analyst has estimated that Coinbase currently has the edge in the case.
“The judge wanted a limiting principle to the SEC definition of "investment contract" that wouldn't encompass collectibles. We view the one offered by Coinbase as more compelling, requiring investment in a business vs. just an ecosystem, along with an enforceable obligation,” Bloomberg senior litigation analyst Elliott Stein wrote.
Coinbase’s lawyers argued that not all cryptocurrency purchases constituted investment contracts, likening the difference to “investing in Beanie Baby Inc. and buying Beanie Babies.” Also in question was whether or not the tokens had an “ecosystem” behind them; lawyers on both sides differed on whether or not Bitcoin constituted an ecosystem, for example, with the SEC’s lawyers arguing that it does not.

Judge Faila did not rule from the bench at the end of the four-hour hearing, saying she needed more time to consider the questions at hand. If Coinbase’s motion is dismissed, either whole or in part, the case will continue on to discovery. Stein’s analysis notes that Coinbase may not win this motion, but projects that the company will win eventually.
“Our Thesis: Coinbase is 70% likely to beat the SEC, if not outright on this motion, then later,” Stein wrote. “Even if the case survives, it likely reaches the Supreme Court, which we think will narrow Howey,” Stein also argued, referring to the standard for deeming assets as securities under U.S. law.
