Resumo

Court filings show the crypto estate wants to agree procedures so that it can sell the shares at the "optimal" time.

The estate for bankrupt crypto exchange FTX wants to sell its shares of artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic, court filings from Friday show.

A motion seeking a court order approving proposed sale procedures for the stake says Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX estate owns around 7.84% of Anthropic as of January 2024. FTX and sister investment firm Alameda invested $500 million in Anthropic in 2021.

While the estate sought to sell the sought-after stake last year, it was paused in June 2023 after months of due diligence by potential bidders.

Setting up the sales procedures now will let the estate “coordinate the most optimal and appropriate time for the sale of Anthropic Shares in conjunction with Anthropic’s capital raising efforts” and maximize the value of the estate “for the benefit of all stakeholders" Friday’s filing said.

A hearing on the matter could take place later this month.

Is SWIFT Integrating XRP For Payments? The Code Might Hold The Answer

Crypto pundit SMQKE has speculated that SWIFT may be integrating XRP for payments, citing code from the R3 Corda codebase that links XRP to ISO 20022 and SWIFT network. The code includes modules named XrpPayment and SWIFTPaymentStatusType, suggesting technical compatibility. While XRP is ISO 20022-ready, enabling potential connections with SWIFT-enabled institutions, SWIFT has not confirmed any integration. Currently, the only known link is through Ripple Treasury, a SWIFT connectivity partner, though SWIFT does not use XRP for payments. In related news, X (formerly Twitter) has added XRP to its cashtags feature, increasing its visibility. XRP is trading at around $1.40, up 3% in 24 hours.

Blockchain Is South Korea’s New Fiscal Weapon — A Blow To Privacy?

South Korea is launching a pilot program to replace government expense credit cards with blockchain-based deposit tokens for treasury fund execution. This initiative, led by the Ministry of Finance and Economy, builds on a previous project with the Ministry of Environment. Deposit tokens are digital representations of bank deposits on permissioned blockchains, enabling programmable settlement, transparent tracking, and real-time reporting. Unlike CBDCs, they are issued by commercial banks. The pilot aims to enhance spending transparency, reduce intermediaries, and eliminate card-processing fees for small merchants. While improving efficiency, it raises privacy concerns. If successful, South Korea could become a model for blockchain-based fiscal systems.

Qubic Starts Dogecoin Mining Phase 2, Shifting Rewards Away From XMR

Qubic has entered phase 2 of its Dogecoin mining rollout, shifting miner rewards from Monero (XMR) to DOGE-based incentives. Starting with epoch 209, computors can operate in either XMR or DOGE mode, with only the higher-yielding contribution counted per index—effectively phasing out XMR if DOGE is more profitable. All block rewards are used for QUBIC buybacks, which are then distributed proportionally based on Dogecoin shares submitted. This transition, part of a three-phase plan announced in March, aims to fully migrate from XMR to DOGE, allowing parallel operation of DOGE mining (via Scrypt ASICs) and AI training (on CPUs/GPUs). Phase 2 introduces weekly reward windows, aligning with Qubic’s goal of scaling toward full-capacity dual-workstream operations.

Cardano Founder Says Bitcoin Has Entered ‘Shitcoin Land’

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson criticized Bitcoin's governance and response to quantum computing threats in a livestream titled "BIP 361: Welcome to ShitcoinLand, Bitcoin." He argued that Bitcoin's resistance to change has left it vulnerable, with over 34% of all Bitcoin (approximately 8 million BTC) exposed to potential theft by quantum computers due to revealed public keys. Hoskinson claimed BIP 361's proposed solution—a hard fork to freeze non-migrated coins—would render around 1.7 million BTC, including Satoshi's estimated 1.1 million, unspendable due to outdated wallet formats. He contrasted Bitcoin's rigid culture with governance models in Cardano, Polkadot, and Ethereum, which he says offer better mechanisms for protocol upgrades. Hoskinson acknowledged the quantum threat as real but argued Bitcoin's ideological inflexibility complicates a effective response.

PEPE Flashes Selling Climax Signal, What This Means For Price

PEPE, a meme coin, has been struggling with bearish pressure since its October 10 crash, showing muted price movements. However, technical analysis suggests a potential shift to a bullish trend. A key indicator is the formation of a Selling Climax (SC), where buying pressure overwhelmed selling, signaling the end of the bearish phase and a transition into accumulation. Additionally, a Change of Character (CHoCH) indicates a shift from a bearish to a bullish structure, with momentum favoring buyers. Other positive signs include an Automatic Rally trend and a Last Point of Support, suggesting bulls are regaining control. A Point of Interest (POI) analysis identifies a potential bounce-off level at $0.00000326 for a rally, with a possible peak around $0.0000062, representing a potential 60%+ price increase. This suggests a significant upward move may be imminent for PEPE.
