FTX’s bankruptcy advisers sued crypto exchange Bybit Fintech Ltd and two corporate affiliates to recover cash and digital assets valued at roughly $953 million that was withdrawn from Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange before it filed Chapter 11 a year ago.
The lawsuit filed Friday in Delaware court alleges Bybit’s investment arm, Mirana Corp., had special “VIP” benefits, which most FTX customers didn’t have, and used those special privileges to get most of its assets off Bankman-Fried’s platform before it collapsed in November 2022.

Pantera Capital explained how the collapse of FTX impacted to its portfolio:
2/ Following the news of FTX and Alameda’s distressed financial position, we assembled a war room to assess the extent of the impact across our portfolio.
Our goal was to:
1) identify all potential risks; and
2) offer assistance to at-risk teams
3/ It’s important to note that having been in this industry for ten years, this exercise was not new to us. We’ve activated our war room for similarly stressed environments like the 2018 crypto winter, Three Arrows bankruptcy, LUNA crash, and most recently, the banking crisis.
4/ After identifying all potential risks (custodial, counterparty, investment, etc.), we worked with affected teams to mitigate further exposure and create a plan moving forward.
5/ Fortunately, less than 5% of our portfolio teams were materially impacted, due in part to proactive risk management practices we regularly emphasize to our founders.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Raft lost some $3.3 million in ether (ETH) after being hacked Friday afternoon.
On-chain data shows that the attacker drained 1,577 ETH from Raft, then sent 1,570 ETH to a burn address – destroying most of the stolen assets and leaving only 7 ETH for themselves. The hacker's address received 18 ETH via crypto mixer service Tornado Cash before the attack, blockchain data on Arkham shows, likely to fund transactions.
After executing the transfers and paying the blockchain fees, the exploiter's crypto wallet was left with only 14 ETH, fewer funds than the initial 18 ETH. This means that they face a 4 ETH loss on the whole maneuver.
Raft's R dollar-pegged stablecoin dropped as much as 50%.

Future drivers of cryptocurrency market growth, according to Matrixport:
1. By January 2024, it anticipates the SEC to approve a Bitcoin ETF, with trading expected to commence by February or March.
2. Stablecoin issuer, Circle could be listed on the stock market by April.
3. While the announcement of FTX's winning bid could occur in December 2023, it projects the exchange to be operational by May or June 2024. FTX is anticipated to reclaim its position as a top 3 exchange within twelve months.
4. The abovementioned three events and the Bitcoin halving cycle are expected to provide a healthy dose of momentum into the following year.
5. Although seeing this as a significant upside catalyst is challenging, in Q1 2024, Ethereum’s IEP-4844 upgrade is scheduled to take place.
6. This also coincides with the potential U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut by mid-2024, as market pricing indicates the first rate cut happening in June 2024.
