Liquidators for the failed cryptocurrency hedge fund, Three Arrows Capital, are seeking at least $1.3 billion from TerraForm Labs.

Arthur Hayes has introduced a new article "Water, Water, Every Where"
Key points:
▫️As the RRP fell from its high, Bitcoin pumped off the lows. As you can see, it’s a very tight relationship. As money leaves the Fed’s balance sheet, it adds liquidity, which causes finite financial assets such as Bitcoin to go to the moon.
▫️ In any case, I expect that crypto will exit its sideways-to-downward trajectory starting in September. As such, I will take advantage of this late northern hemispheric summer weakness to load up on crypto risk.
▫️The next stop for Bitcoin is $100,000, and $1 million Bitcoin.
▫️ AFTER the US debt ceiling is raised. I expect that to happen sometime in January or February.
▫️Alt szn will return only after Bitcoin and Ether decidedly break through $70,000 and $4,000, respectively.
▫️The US election occurs in early November. Yellen will be at peak manipulation in October. There will be no better time for liquidity this year. Therefore, I shall sell into strength. I will not liquidate my entire crypto portfolio but take profits in my more speculative momentum trades and park the capital into staked Ethena USD (sUSDe).

Several venture capital funds, including Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures, have received letters from the SEC over their involvement with decentralized crypto exchange operator Uniswap Labs, per multiple sources.
Uniswap Labs has raised over $170 million in VC funding, most recently in late 2022 at nearly a $1.7 billion valuation.

Celsius filed a lawsuit against Tether on Friday in an attempt to claw back Bitcoin worth $2.4 billion that the company says Tether sold improperly at the bottom of the market as the crypto lender began to collapse.
Tether has vowed to defend itself against the lawsuit, which CEO Paolo Ardoino described as “baseless” and “bullying.”

Secondary shares of the company are trading at about $1.5 billion, according to Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca.
That’s almost 75% below Animoca’s valuation in July 2022, when the firm announced that it had raised $75 million at a $5.9 billion valuation.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has raised concerns that the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation poses a systemic risk not only to stablecoins but also to the broader banking system.
The MiCA regulation, which took effect on June 30, imposes stringent limitations on stablecoin operations across the European Economic Area. Notably, it mandates that at least 60% of reserves backing stablecoins must be held in EU bank accounts.
He further pointed out that EU cash deposits are insured for only up to $100,000 — an amount he argues is inadequate for large stablecoin issuers like Tether.

Delphi Digital cofounder: “I've never been very political, but 7 years of building Delphi with my partners and getting married changes one's view about the world you want to live in.
Trump has positioned himself as pro crypto, AI, and business, promising an unrestricted golden age for America. He is the only shot to maintain dominance and grow out of out $35T debt mountain.
In contrast, Kamala Harris has been associated with the most aggressive anti-crypto platform ever:
- No action taken to address Gensler/SEC's complete lack of crypto clarity and vendetta against crypto. They should also be publicly supporting Hester Peirce as a thought leader for regulation that actually supports builders.
- This is the same SEC that allowed FTX to happen, but sues the companies helping to drive Crypto's dominance in the U.S. like Brian Armstrong and Paul Grewal of Coinbase.
- No steps against Operation Chokepoint 2.0 which debanks Crypto companies from the traditional banking sector. This is still on-going
- Has not meaningfully engaged with the Crypto community and has absolutely zero publicly shared views
- Allowed Biden to veto a bill meant to overturn SAB121 (Banks have to report Crypto as liabilities which means they need tons of reserves and other restrictions), which was against both Democrats and Republicans! I say allow since it’s clear Biden's cognitive decline means he was being handled by others.
- She has taken no steps to meaningfully engage with the community and develop an actual pro Crypto agenda.
- Biden's executive order on Digital Assets produced confusion and did not help foster Crypto or our early stage founders in any meaningful way
- Kamala already has anti-crypto folks in her agenda, including Adeyemo for Treasury Secretary
- Unrelated to Crypto but she covered up Biden's mental decline and was not even elected by the people but chosen to take up the Prez Ticket.
In Comparison, some of Trump's highlights on the matter are:
- He will fire Gensler
- Create a strategic reserve of BTC
- U.S. gov will keep 100% of the BTC it holds
- Commute Ross Ulbricht's sentence
- No CBDC which is a surveillance state to the maximum
- The U.S. will be the Crypto Capital of the planet
- Has NFT collections
Either way Crypto should not be a partisan issue but it has been made this way over the past four years. Crypto should be supported by both parties.
Theres a reason major Democrats have pivoted to the Republican ticket.
Go Vote Trump.”

Arbitrum DAO proposes to unlock ARB utility and improve the governance and security of the Arbitrum protocol by implementing ARB staking, without yet turning on fee distribution to token holders.
Through ARB staking, token holders who delegate to active governance participants will be able to capture value. The proposal will also implement a liquid staked ARB token (stARB) via the Tally Protocol that enables any future rewards to auto-compound, is (re)stakeable, and is compatible with DeFi.
Separately, it will work with the Arbitrum DAO to decide whether and how to fund rewards and split rewards between token holders and delegates.
