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.

Arthur Hayes has introduced a new article "PvP"
Highlights:
1. PvP, or “player vs. player,” is a phrase used often by shitcoin traders to describe this current market cycle. This contradicts the original idea behind cryptocurrencies.
2. New tokens launched this year have performed poorly for retail investors, but not for venture capital (VC) firms. The result has been the launch of a plethora of high, fully diluted value (FDV), but low circulating supply projects.
3. Listing on major exchanges does not guarantee token price growth. The data shows that tokens do not "pump" regardless of the exchange.
4. Projects must cut their valuations at launch by 40% to 50% to become attractive on a relative basis.
5. VCs are interested in accumulating assets and receiving management fees, rather than in the real return on investment. This leads to overestimation of projects.
6. The CEXs want a high FDV for two reasons. The first is that trading fees are charged as a percentage of the token notional. The higher the FDV, the more revenue and fees are earned, whether the project pumps or dumps. The second reason is that a high FDV and low circulating supply are good for exchanges because plenty of unallocated tokens can be given to them.
7. Listing on major exchanges is expensive: up to 16% of the total token supply and $5 million in BNB's purchase for Binance.
8. Projects need to make sure that their users/token holders get rich as the project succeeds.
9. An alternative is needed: launch with a low valuation on DEX to attract users and allow them to grow with the project.
10. Auki Labs. They didn’t have CEX on the first date. Instead, they listed a relatively low-FDV token starting on DEX.

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.
