FBI Arrests Alabama Man in the January 2024 SEC X Hack that Spiked the Value of Bitcoin
Eric Council Jr., 25, of Athens, Alabama, was arrested this morning, in Athens, in connection with a January 2024 unauthorized takeover of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) X account, formerly known as Twitter, in which hackers posted a fake message from the SEC Chair that caused the value of bitcoin (BTC) to spike by $1,000.
According to the indictment, on January 9, 2024, Council conspired with others to take unauthorized control of the @SECGov X account (sometimes called the SEC’s Twitter account) and transmitted a fake post in the name of the SEC Chair, falsely announcing, in part, “Today the SEC grants approval for #Bitcoin ETFs for listing on all registered national securities exchanges.” Immediately after the tweet, the price of BTC increased by more than $1,000 per bitcoin.
Shortly after the unauthorized post, the SEC regained control over their X account and confirmed that the announcement was unauthorized and the result of a security breach. Following this corrective disclosure, the value of BTC decreased by more than $2,000 per bitcoin. (At the time, the SEC had been deliberating whether to approve exchange traded funds (ETFs) that held bitcoin.) An unauthorized actor gained control of the SEC X account through a “SIM swap.”

Ethereum's staker revenue is on a slow descent, with September's total at $174 million, down from its March peak of $247 million. This trend mirrors broader crypto market sentiment.
Staker revenue has been gradually declining since March, reflecting reduced on-chain activity and lower overall market enthusiasm. September's staker revenue of $174 million dwarfs the $35.5 million generated from transaction fees, highlighting a significant reliance on the block subsidy.
The validator landscape continues to expand despite the revenue dip. Ethereum now boasts 1.09 million validators, showcasing growing participation in the network's security. This increase in validators comes even as individual rewards decrease, demonstrating continued faith in Ethereum's long-term prospects.
