A new US government filing suggests that Bitfinex may be the sole entity eligible for restitution in connection with the 2016 hack that resulted in the theft of approximately 120,000 BTC.
Bitfinex’s LEO token jumped 15% to $7.2 following the release of the documents.
Following the hack, Bitfinex reduced all customer account balances by 36% to distribute the losses incurred. In compensation, the exchange issued BFX tokens to customers, who could sell, redeem, or exchange them. By April 2017, all BFX tokens had been redeemed, with some customers opting to receive shares in Bitfinex’s parent company, iFinex.

Based on current prices and the potential implications of Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential race, Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick forecasts that by the end of 2025, solana's price could increase fivefold, ether could rise fourfold, and bitcoin could triple in value.
He also said that if Kamala Harris were to become president, he expects bitcoin to outperform ether, which, in turn, would outperform solana. "In U.S. dollar terms, we anticipate Ethereum reaching the $7,000 level by the end of 2025 in a scenario where Kamala Harris is president," he added. Kendrick envisions bitcoin rising to $200,000 by the end of 2025, regardless of the election outcome on Nov. 5.
