US moves to seize $1.2 billion in crypto stolen in North Korea-linked Binance hack
The US Department of Justice has secured court authorisation targeting more than $1.2 billion of crypto stolen from Binance, which it attributes to North Korea-linked hackers. Around $2.7 billion in related funds has been frozen by Tether, Ripple, Circle, World Liberty Financial and Arbitrum, and the DOJ also seized cloud infrastructure and 900 webcam videos tied to the separate FaceStealer scheme, which reportedly stole over $400 million in 18 months. North Korea has denied any involvement, with Kim Yo Jong calling the allegations a political provocation.
Coffeezilla and Molly White investigate Trump family crypto ventures and their impact on investors
Coffeezilla and Molly White have published an investigation into Trump family crypto businesses, focusing on World Liberty Financial, the family's meme coins, foreign investments and business relationships. They argue many of these ventures made the family billions while most American investors lost money, and question undisclosed investments and possible conflicts of interest. World Liberty Financial rejects the allegations and says it has followed the required regulatory procedures.
Bitwise's Matt Hougan says a younger incoming Congress may matter more to crypto than party control
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says the younger intake of lawmakers matters more for crypto than which party holds power. Incoming senators are on average 14 years younger than those leaving, and the number under 50 rose from eight to 15, while Stand With Crypto counts 51 pro-crypto senators, down from 52. House Democrats reportedly want a market structure bill expanding SEC oversight and reducing CFTC authority, building on Maxine Waters' amendment to the CLARITY Act.
