Bitcoin Hits $40,000 for the First Time Since April 2022

Bitcoin’s price reached such a high level for the first time since April 2022. At the same time, the price of Bitcoin has more than doubled since this time last year.

23 Million Dollars Additional Budget from Arbitrum DAO

Arbitrum DAO has secured an additional $23.4 million in funding to finance all projects approved in the STIP.

As a result of the final vote, 21.1 million ARB tokens worth $23.4 million will be distributed to an additional 26 projects. The additional capital was approved with 73.1 million votes against 216.7 million, bringing STIP’s total budget to 71.4 million ARB tokens. The tour will fund 56 projects to support diverse, emerging builders and create a welcoming environment for new projects.

UTAH’s Chief Justice Threatens SEC with Sanctions

After losing its lawsuit against crypto company DEBT Box, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was forced to admit that some of the claims made by SEC lawyers in support of the lawsuit were “false or misleading”. One of these allegations was that DEBT Box was trying to move its assets abroad by closing its bank accounts in June 2023. However, DEBT Box’s lawyers argued that this claim was not true and that in fact the bank accounts were closed on or before January 2023. Another allegation was that DEBT Box prevented investigators from viewing certain social media pages. However, given the SEC’s characterization of the investigations as “confidential”, this claim is also thought to be untrue. The fact that these allegations were false or misleading helped the SEC obtain a temporary restraining order (TRO) against DEBT Box. However, the TRO was dissolved in October.

Jupiter founder Meow said the airdrop will reward power users and contributors significantly more and encourage everyone else to come back and engage. As of October, Jupiter enabled $35 billion in cumulative transaction volume, 80% of which came from 0.2% of all wallets.
