According to CoinGecko’s data, as of September 19, 2023, the top 10 video game companies boasted a combined market capitalization of $3,219.6 billion. That reveals the potential market for the industry, considering that the current size of the established gaming giants in the blockchain industry is only $4.8 billion. Appearing on a Sept. 28 episode of the Lex Fridman podcast, Zuckerberg and the popular computer scientist engaged in a one-hour face-to-face conversation. Only, it wasn’t actually in person at all.

US President Joe Biden signed the bill into law, ensuring funding until November 17. The departure of Polygon’s co-founder, Jaynti Kanani, on Oct. 4 after six years with the project also triggered some degree of discomfort among investors, given the project's proximity to the crucial completion of its improved multiple-layer scalability solution.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has likened former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried to infamous American fraudster Bernie Madoff and accused the media of giving the former FTX CEO a “free pass.”Bernard Lawrence Madoff was the mastermind behind the largest known Ponzi scam in history, estimated to be worth $64.8 billion. At one point, Madoff served as the Nasdaq stock exchange’s chairman.Hoskinson said that the media’s attention to SBF, despite public evidence about SBF and FTX being involved in misappropriating and stealing customer funds, shows how corrupt the whole system has become.In an X (formerly Twitter) post on Oct. 9, Hoskinson lashed out at the media frenzy around SBF after the FTX collapse. Hoskinson first called out author Michael Lewis, whose book on SBF has gained a lot of media traction just days leading up to the former FTX CEO’s trial, labeling it an “apology tour.”The Cardano founder noted that there seems to be a “group of people who want to get a public exoneration for SBF,” adding:“We saw this with the kid gloves treatment by the New York Times and now a book that’s an apology tour. It’s extraordinary to me that the Bernie Madoff of my generation is getting a free pass from the media. It does show you how profoundly corrupt things have become especially if you have the right friends.”FTX was the third-largest crypto exchange at the time of its crash in November 2022, having raised a multimillion-dollar funding round in the first quarter. SBF at the time blamed external market conditions and a liquidity crunch for the downfall. However, as multiple United States enforcement agencies began investigations into the failed crypto exchange, they reflected a very different picture.As a result of the probes, Bankman-Fried was charged with seven counts of conspiracy and fraud related to the fall of FTX, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Judge Lewis Kaplan is overseeing the case.The jury trial began last week. Testimony during the first week of the trial showed that Alameda Research, a trading company set up by SBF before he started the FTX exchange, had a secret backdoor into FTX for funneling customers’ funds as early as 2019.Related: Sam Bankman-Fried goes on trial: A week in reviewFresh information emerging from the criminal trial against Bankman-Fried has revealed that he lavished millions of dollars on creating an image through aggressive PR spending.

Cas Piancey (@CasPiancey) October 6, 2023 While Bitcoin is typically used as a peer-to-peer payment system or for storing value, Schroé said its potential won’t be fulfilled unless the cryptocurrency can connect to the broader financial system, such as with security and commodity markets.Connecting Bitcoin to Ethereum-based real-world assets, stablecoins, decentralized finance and nonfungible tokens via the EVM is the first step in that direction, Schroé argued. “That’s a huge amount of value and development waiting to happen.”Schroé’s Botanix Labs aims to connect the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems through its “Spiderchain” — a proof-of-stake layer 2 that implements EVM to EVM bridges to enable Bitcoin to interact with the EVM.Bitcoin and Ethereum may seem like opposites, but they can co-exist and complement each other.However, this does present some challenges.Multi-chain ecosystems with cross-chain bridges can have security and centralization risks, hindering the potential of collaboration.— Botanix Labs (@BotanixLabs) October 2, 2023 How to buy and store Ethereum (ETH)?For years, OpenSea handled the large majority of NFT trading, distributing a 2.5% royalty fee on every sale to the creator of the collection.

FTX, which had once been valued at $32 billion, declared bankruptcy on Nov. 11. That same day, employees at FTX began noticing massive withdrawals of funds from the exchange’s wallets. Terra (LUNA)’s Rise & Fall EverGrow Coin-Will 2022 Be EGC's Epic Year?To elaborate, a trader can borrow funds from any margin-providing crypto exchange or broker. This borrowed money is used to buy cryptocurrencies. When the market price of the coin increases, the trader can sell the coin at this point and get more profit from the sale. Once the trader gives back the borrowed money and interest to exchange, the remaining money they hold will be the potential profit earned from selling the coin. Here, the market uptrend is the most relevant factor for earning profits in margin trading. “The extra juicy opportunities lie with projects that maybe haven’t seen any special price decouplings recently, yet have a surge in network growth, or whale transactions and accumulation.” He further added that these projects are “at minimum, likely to have some increased volatility due to extra activity that hasn’t existed on their respective networks in quite some time.”
