FTX Files Reorganization Plan to End Bankruptcy

Introduzione

Asset values for creditor claims will be calculated at prices on the day FTX filed for bankruptcy in November 2022, the plan says.

The estate of the collapsed crypto enterprise FTX submitted a proposal to end bankruptcy with a Delaware court, a filing from Saturday shows.

The exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried imploded in November 2022 shortly after CoinDesk reported on the shaky balance sheet of the firm's trading unit, Alameda. The bankruptcy plan was expected by Dec. 16 following earlier informal proposals, which included plans to return up to 90% of creditors' funds.

In the new proposal, creditor and customer claims are classed according to the priority the estate plans to give them, and the value of claims will be calculated based on asset prices as of the date the company filed for bankruptcy. In a separate statement, the estate said the plan was designed to "maximize and efficiently distribute value to all creditors."

As in other high-profile crypto bankruptcy cases, the plan is likely to face opposition from various creditor groups until it's approved by the court. A hearing date will be set in 2024.

Authorities of an American city ban mining

The authorities of Whiteville, a city in the United States, have implemented a ban on cryptocurrency mining. This moratorium is set to last for one year, until August 25, 2027, or until the city council can amend current zoning laws, which currently lack specific regulations for data centers and mining farms. Mayor Terry Mann stated that during this period, the city plans to study the impact of mining on local resources and public health. Officials will assess the water required for equipment cooling, electricity consumption levels, and the strain on city infrastructure. Concerns cited by city staff include the potential for uncontrolled mining to lead to high greenhouse gas emissions, pollution from diesel generators, excessive electronic waste, and significant noise pollution that could harm residents' health. While there are currently no active proposals for data center construction in Whiteville, the ban is a preemptive measure. City authorities also intend to use the year to study the regulatory approaches of other municipalities in North Carolina. This development comes as a 2023 CoinShares report indicated that Bitcoin mining in the U.S. is becoming less profitable due to rising electricity costs, the reduced block reward of 3.125 BTC, and increased network difficulty.

Trump Has Cost Investors $4.7 Billion Through Crypto 'Schemes': Public Citizen

A report by consumer advocacy group Public Citizen claims former U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have caused investors losses estimated at at least $4.7 billion since 2022 through their digital asset ventures. These include the Trump family's World Liberty Financial governance token, Trump's NFT collections, his "Official Trump" meme coin ($TRUMP), and the Trump Media digital asset treasury. According to the report, $3.2 billion of the alleged losses stemmed from investors in the $TRUMP meme coin, described as a transfer of wealth to a small group of early buyers. In contrast, Trump reportedly earned substantial income from these projects: over $7 million in NFT royalties, more than $600 million from World Liberty token sales and equity, $635 million in meme coin licensing fees, and $197 million from World Liberty capital contributions. These figures exclude his ongoing holdings. A White House spokesperson has previously stated there are "no conflicts of interest" regarding Trump's crypto investments. Public Citizen is urging for the inclusion of ethics provisions in the pending CLARITY Act crypto market bill, arguing a president's policy decisions and personal investments cannot be separated and should require divestment from industry projects. A Senate cloture vote on the bill is scheduled for September 15.

Why Ethereum Staking Will Change in 2026

The article discusses the evolving role of Ethereum (ETH) staking, shifting from a niche crypto enthusiast topic to a mainstream portfolio management tool for financial advisors and institutional investors. It explains how staking works in Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake network, detailing validator requirements and methods like solo staking, pools, exchanges, and liquid staking protocols, each with its own risk-reward profile (e.g., liquidity, control, technical requirements). A key point is staking's growing importance for corporate treasuries, where staking rewards represent a significant income stream, unlike non-yielding Bitcoin holdings. Looking ahead, the article highlights the anticipated 'Glamsterdam' upgrade in late 2026 as a pivotal development expected to enhance scalability, decentralization, and post-quantum resistance, further solidifying Ethereum's institutional appeal. It also emphasizes that while staking offers passive income and network participation, risks include technical failures, slashing penalties, platform/custodial risks, and regulatory uncertainty. For advisors, the conclusion stresses the need to evaluate staking providers beyond just promised yields, focusing on reliability, fees, withdrawal terms, security, and the specifics of reward structures (protocol vs. MEV-based). The regulatory landscape and infrastructure maturity around digital asset custody are noted as critical adjacent topics to monitor.

Scott Bessent's Risky Bond Buyback Operation Could Fuel Bitcoin Price Surge

Bitcoin returned to the $80,000 level on Thursday, breaking past a key $79,000 resistance point, on news of an upcoming $92 billion U.S. Treasury bill auction scheduled for August 31st. The price recovery saw Bitcoin reach a daily high of $80,808, though it faced brief selling pressure. The cryptocurrency was trading around $80,400 by late morning EST, marking a roughly 3% daily increase and pushing its market cap back to $1.61 trillion. This surge positions Bitcoin for a monthly gain of over 20%, a sharp reversal from July's flat performance. The volatility led to $105 million in leveraged Bitcoin positions being liquidated in 24 hours, with short positions accounting for the majority of losses. Analysts note the large-scale Treasury auction could drain short-term market liquidity, potentially pushing yields higher and pressuring risk assets like stocks and crypto. Furthermore, a recent article in The Economist warns that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's policies risk undermining confidence in the American financial system. The report criticizes measures to artificially cap long-term bond yields and a shift towards issuing more short-term T-bills, which shortens the overall debt duration and increases vulnerability to future rate hikes. This approach, along with distorting market pricing mechanisms, could jeopardize long-term investor trust in U.S. sovereign debt. Prominent figures like Ray Dalio suggest such policies are reducing the inflation-adjusted yield of traditional fixed-income assets, potentially driving capital seeking a store of value towards alternatives like gold and Bitcoin, whose prices have risen since the Treasury's announcements.
