  8. According to recent news updates, Russian forces have gained ground around Avdiivka, and Ukrainian officials have warned that the town is turning into another Bakhmut, the eastern city that Russian forces have sought. Additionally, Russian bombardment killed at least 10 civilians and wounded 20 others in several parts of Ukraine on March 24, 2023[2]. On March 27, 2023, Putin announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, a Kremlin-ally wedged between the two warring countries that has served as a launch pad for Russian attacks on Ukraine. The United Nations Security Council is due to convene for an emergency meeting, called by Ukraine, after Putin revealed plans to place tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus

  11. The Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (KoFIU) is reportedly launching a probe into crypto exchanges that have listed their in-house, self-issued tokens. The move by the regulator comes due to native cryptocurrencies being the biggest factor contributing to the demise of numerous exchanges and ecosystems this year, including the recent FTX collapse. According to reports, initial investigations revealed that all crypto exchanges performed lawful operations across South Korea. However, a spokeswoman for the Financial Services Commission (FSC) disclosed preparations for a more thorough inquiry stating that “there are still some questions related" to in-house token listings. https://cointelegraph.com/news/south-korea-investigates-crypto-exchanges-for-listing-native-tokens
  12. American CryptoFed DAO, the first legally recognised decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) in the United States, is reportedly at risk of losing its registration after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dug up anomalies in the Form S-1 registration statement dated Sept. 17, 2021. The SEC has instituted administrative proceedings against the DAO to determine the issuance of a stop order that will suspend the registration of the offer and sale of its Ducat and Locke tokens. The SEC stated, “An issuer seeking to register the offer and sale of crypto assets as securities transactions must furnish the required disclosure information to the SEC. American CryptoFed not only failed to comply with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws, but it also claimed that the securities transactions they seek to register are not in fact securities transactions at all." https://www.theblock.co/post/188464/sec-moves-to-suspend-sale-of-american-cryptofed-dao-tokens
  13. According to reports, investors have been cautioned by the Singapore Police Force to be wary of fraudulent websites that promise to assist them with recovering money from the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX. The police reportedly warned about a phishing website asking FTX users to log in with their account credentials. The website claimed to be hosted by the U.S. Department of Justice and targeted local investors stating that they “would be able to withdraw their funds after paying legal fees.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/singapore-police-warn-investors-against-ftx-phishing-scams-report
  14. The recent FTX collapse has prompted many crypto exchanges and investment platforms to share “Proof of Reserves”- a public-facing attestation as to a custodial service’s reserves alongside a record of its liabilities (i.e., user balances). However, crypto investment firm Grayscale recently tweeted that it won't show proof of reserves due to “security concerns.” It did however explain the legal structure through which it holds customer assets along with details of the relevant custodial services it employs. Grayscale’s tweet reads, “Due to security concerns, we do not make such on-chain wallet information and confirmation information publicly available through a cryptographic Proof-of-Reserve, or other advanced cryptographic accounting procedure. We know the preceding point, in particular, will be a disappointment to some, but panic sparked by others is not a good enough reason to circumvent complex security arrangements that have kept our investors’ assets safe for years.” https://www.theblock.co/post/188606/grayscale-wont-share-proof-of-reserves-citing-security-concerns
  15. According to reports, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried cashed out $300 million in personal stakes from a $420 million funding round for FTX that occurred in October 2021. The funds were raised under the premise of using the money to help grow the business, improve user experience and allow it to engage more with regulators. SBF told investors at the time that he was withdrawing the funds to partially reimburse himself for money he’d spent to buy out Binance’s stake in FTX a few months earlier. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ftxs-sam-bankman-fried-cashed-out-300-million-during-funding-spree-11668799774
  16. One of Canada's largest pension funds, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP), is reportedly planning to write down the entirety of its $95 million investment in FTX and FTX US after the firms filed for bankruptcy protection. According to a statement, OTPP invested $75 million in FTX International and its U.S. entity FTX.US in October 2021 and followed with another $20 million in FTX.US in January of this year. The firm stated, "The financial loss from this investment will have limited impact on the Plan, given its size relative to our total net assets and our strong financial position. However, we are disappointed with the outcome of this investment, take all losses seriously and will use this experience to further strengthen our approach.” https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/11/18/pension-giant-ontario-teachers-plans-to-write-off-all-95-million-invested-in-crypto-exchange-ftx/
  17. Hong Kong-based crypto over-the-counter (OTC) trading firm Genesis Block HK reportedly has over $50 million worth of assets stuck in the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX. According to an email from Genesis Block sent to its customers and obtained by crypto news firm ‘The Block’, the impact is significant enough that Genesis Block is shutting down its OTC business on Dec. 10. The email stated, "With regret, we will be closing down the genesisblockotc.com portal website on 10 December (Fri) 2022 at 6:00 pm HKT. Withdrawals of user balances are fully functional via the OTC chat group. Please do NOT deposit any crypto assets into the portal." https://www.theblock.co/post/188335/genesis-block-hk-has-more-than-50-million-stuck-on-ftx-source
  18. According to a Bloomberg report, the biggest publicly traded hedge fund firm “Man Group” is close to starting a dedicated cryptocurrency hedge fund. The group’s crypto hedge fund strategy led by money manager Andre Rzym has reportedly been in development for several months. It plans to start the fund by the end of this year. Man Group’s computer-led trading unit AHL is already trading cryptocurrency futures. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-18/man-group-readies-crypto-hedge-fund-despite-ftx-chaos
  19. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), an American self-regulatory organisation, has launched an examination into the retail communications practices of crypto firms. This includes "video, social media, mobile applications, and websites” published by crypto firms during the period between the beginning of July and the end of September. Companies will also need to file compliance and training manuals, as well as review and approval processes. The move by the organisation comes in response to the recent FTX meltdown. https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-meltdown-triggers-finra-into-probing-crypto-comms
