The MTG community has responded negatively to the news. Specifically, MTG card collector ‘notsofast’ tweeted that the user ZachXBT tracked likely purchased high-value vintage cards that are hard to come across. These ‘starter decks’ are reportedly "old, rare, and irreproducible” vintage products that have a very high price. The hacker's purchase of this set now potentially taints the majority of the remaining supply of those cards according to X user ‘notsofast.’

🚨Rally Report🚨
POLKADOT
The price of DOT has rallied by 19% in the past 24 hours.
WHY?!
🎉 The rally is likely led by positive sentiments surrounding Polkadot’s upcoming major upgrade ‘Polkadot 2.0’. The upgrade is expected to replace the existing lease-based model for parachains with a more flexible pay-as-you-go system based on Core time or processing power. This is bullish for Polkadot as this could attract more projects to build on Polkadot.
🚀 Additionally, ‘Big Four’ accounting firm Deloitte recently announced that it will use the Polkadot-based Kilt blockchain to offer logistics and supply-chain services focused on the shipping industry. This could have also likely contributed to DOT’s positive price action.
If you want to buy or trade DOT, we have an exclusive $40K Airdrop Bonus Promo on ByBit as well as 0% maker fees for 30 days!

1️⃣ LayerZero Says It's Targeting Token Launch for First Half Of 2024 🚀
The developers of the blockchain interoperability protocol LayerZero have confirmed their plans to issue a token sometime in the first half of 2024. Notably, the confirmation comes after months of widespread rumours and speculation.
The project stated,
LayerZero has always been built with the ability to have a native token within the protocol, as can be seen in the immutable code launched on day 1. We’ve heard the community discussion over the last few months and the lack of clear communication around this. We’ll state now in no uncertain terms that there will be a LayerZero token. Its distribution is something we’re committed to getting right and expect it to happen within the first half of 2024.

2️⃣ Binance Founder CZ Must Stay In US Until Sentencing, Judge Orders ⚖️
Seattle district court Judge Richard Jones has reportedly ordered Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) to stay in the U.S. until his sentencing in February next year.
The judge stated,
The defendant has articulated justifications that in most cases would cause the government’s motion to be denied. However, a critical feature of the government’s motion is the extent of the defendant’s enormous wealth and absence of an extradition treaty with the UAE. In addition, the defendant’s family resides in the UAE and there is no indication he has any other ties to the United States. While the defendant has indicated he will be asking for a lesser sentence, the government has indicated it may be asking for as much as 18 months of incarceration. Consequently, the defendant is not facing an insignificant sentence.

2️⃣ Crypto Exchange Bitzlato Co-Founder Pleads Guilty to U.S. Money Transmitter Charge 👮♂️
Anatoly Legkodymov, the Russian co-founder of Hong Kong-registered virtual currency exchange Bitzlato, pleaded guilty to money laundering crimes in a New York court on Wednesday. Specifically, the prosecution accused Bitzlato of being an unlicensed money transmitter that processed funds from ransomware attacks, illicit drug deals and other crimes. Along with his guilty plea, Legkodymov has "agreed to dissolve Bitzlato" and release claims over some $23 million in seized assets.
United States Attorney Breon Peace stated,
Legkodymov’s guilty plea today confirms that he was well aware that Bitzlato, his cryptocurrency exchange, was being used like an open turnstile by criminals eager to take advantage of his lax controls over illicit money transactions. The defendant may have thought he was operating from a safe haven overseas for his ‘No Questions Asked’ clearinghouse, but this prosecution and conviction demonstrate otherwise.

5️⃣ Terraform Labs Asks Judge to Let Jury Decide If UST And LUNA Tokens Are Securities ⚖️
Terraform Labs, the creator of UST and LUNA, has asked New York Judge Jed Rakoff to let a jury decide the regulatory status of the tokens. Specifically, Terraform Labs lawyer David Kornblau stated that a jury should decide “whether or not the SEC has met its burden to prove” that UST, LUNA wLUNA, and MIR tokens are securities. Kornblau pointed at the precedent of Audet vs. Fraiser, a 2021 case where a jury decided that four cryptoassets were not securities. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission insists the matter should be decided by the judge and argued that a jury almost never decides whether something is an investment contract or not.

1️⃣ SEC Delays Grayscale Ethereum ETF, Confirms Receipt of BlackRock ETH Fund 📅
According to recent filings, the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission needs more time to evaluate a rule change that would allow Grayscale to convert its Ethereum trust into an Ethereum spot ETF. The regulator has extended its timeline for a decision on the proposed fund by 45 days to Jan. 25, 2024.
Notably, the decision comes just two weeks after the SEC delayed another separate request from Grayscale to evaluate its proposal for an Ethereum futures ETF whose application was submitted in September. Coincidentally, amidst the SEC’s decision to extend timelines, the regulator received notice from investing giant BlackRock that its pending Bitcoin spot ETF has already drawn $100,000 in seed funding from an undisclosed investor.

3️⃣ House's McHenry Says He Won't Seek Reelection, Costing Crypto a Top Ally ❌
Rep. Patrick McHenry, the current chairman of the House Financial Services Committee that has been leading crypto legislation efforts in the House, has announced that he will be retiring from Congress at the end of his current term in January 2025.
Notably, McHenry led efforts to advance crypto legislation out of his committee during the summer, including one regulating stablecoins at the federal level and another taking a comprehensive approach to crypto's market structure. Both these bills are facing potential House floor votes next year. Though McHenry will be around when these bills are expected to be considered for approval, his upcoming departure triggers some uncertainty for these two key crypto bills since such an announcement can sometimes diminish his or her authority in negotiations.

3️⃣ Platy Platypus Finance Hackers Cleared of Criminal Charges ⚖️
According to local media reports, Mohammed and Benamar M – the men responsible for the $8.5 million hack of Platypus Finance in February 2023, have been cleared of criminal charges by a French court. Notably, the hackers were arrested by French authorities just one week after the hack due to information from crypto sleuth ZachXBT and Binance.
The defendants were reportedly acquitted after Mohammed argued that he was an "ethical hacker" who exploited the protocol in hopes of receiving a 10% bonus and had planned to return the funds to the protocol later. Additionally, the judges in the tribunal found that the charges related to unauthorized access of a computer system did not apply since Mohammed was accessing a publicly available smart contract. Furthermore, the court also found that Mohammed's actions did not constitute fraud and therefore the charges related to money laundering and receiving stolen goods were also dropped.

4️⃣ Standard Chartered-Backed Zodia Custody Joins Ripple-Owned Metaco’s Global Crypto Storage Network 🤝
Zodia Custody, a cryptocurrency storage provider backed by Standard Chartered, is reportedly joining institutional custody specialist Metaco's network. According to Zodia Custody CEO Julian Sawyer, the reason for integrating with Metaco’s network is to offer global sub-custody.
Sawyer stated,
I think of this as the third generation of crypto custody, where multiple custodians are linked together. For example, a client in Brazil, who is a custodian, may want to store some assets in the UK, and they're not currently in the UK. So they could use us as their sub-custodian and use our regulatory permissions, etc. I think the multiple networks that are out there are really key in terms of linking custodians together, and linking custodians to exchanges and venues in a compliant manner.

How high will BTC go when the spot Bitcoin ETF is approved?
This is the question that everyone has been wondering, and it seems that Glassnode might have the answer.
In a recent report, the on-chain analytics company estimated that Bitcoin spot ETFs could see tens of billions of dollars of inflows, and this could have a multiplier effect on BTC given its restricted supply.
The catch is that these inflows may not come all at once, and there could also be outflows, notably from holders of Grayscale’s GBTC who have been itching to make a profit on the ETF conversion.
Watch until the end to see how these factors could affect BTC’s price!

According to on-chain sleuth ZachXBT, the hacker behind the 2021 exploit of Uranium Finance may have used "Magic: The Gathering" trading cards to try and launder their loot after running it through the Tornado Cash mixing service.
Specifically, ZachXBT states that the hacker withdrew 11,200 ETH over the past year from Tornado Cash in 100 ETH increments. They then swapped the ETH for wrapped ETH (WETH), transferred it to a new address, swapped it for USDC and then used some of it to buy "Magic: The Gathering" (MTG) trading cards in an attempt to obfuscate funds.
A thriving Bitcoin economy is inevitable, but to realize this future and maximize its potential, robust capital markets are essential.

3️⃣ Jupiter Reveals Airdrop Allocations for Solana DeFi Users 💰
Solana-based DEX aggregator Jupiter has reportedly launched the initial claims portal for its JUP token airdrop. Users can now connect their wallets to the portal on Jupiter’s website and check how much JUP they are eligible to claim. However, it is not yet clear when the actual claim process will begin.
According to the company, all Jupiter users who’ve met the basic requirement will receive 200 JUP regardless of their trading history. Specifically, the first phase of the airdrop requires users to have done a minimum of $1,000 in swap volume on the protocol by the snapshot date of Nov. 2.
Among these users, “OGs” who held at least $10 on the platform or made at least 10 transactions before March 2022 will receive an additional 500 JUP. From there, the bulk of a user’s JUP allocation will be determined by factors including their trading volume on Jupiter and the consistency of their use of the site.
