Binance says GitHub data leak could cause ‘severe financial harm’

Binance says leaked passwords and site code that were viewable on GitHub for months before being taken down last week could cause “severe financial harm,” reports 404 Media.   The exchange, which recently saw its US arm booted from Alaska and Florida, appealed to GitHub and successfully took down the leaked data last week. In its takedown request, Binance said the upload wasn’t authorized and that the data posed a “significant risk to Binance,” may cause “severe financial harm,” and could confuse or harm its users.   404 Media saw the data before it was taken down, and claimed it could’ve been beneficial to hackers looking to compromise Binance’s systems .  The outlet claims the leaked data included: code relating to Binance’s implementation of passwords and multi-factor authentication; diagrams detailing the interlocking of Binance’s dependencies; supposed passwords for systems labeled “prod” which 404 says may relate to the live site.   Did Binance ex-chief CZ really co...

Spot Ethereum ETF Approval May Be Delayed Until 2026 On “Political Call” By Gary Gensler, TD Cowen Says

Image
A spot Ethereum ETF (exchange-traded fund) may not be approved in the U.S. until late 2025 or early 2026, said investment bank TD Cowen. “We believe there is no upside for SEC Chair Gary Gensler to approve a spot Ethereum ETF given how upset progressive Democrats were over the agency’s approval of a spot bitcoin ETF earlier this month, ” said TD Cowen Washington Research Group analysts led by Jaret Seiberg in a Jan. 29 note. “This is a political call.”  Gary Gensler Needs The Support Of Progressives In order to push his agenda in the next election year, Gensler needs the support of progressive democrats, noted TD Cowen. This remains true even if the SEC Chair pursues a different role as Treasury secretary in the event Joe Biden wins a second term, said the bank. “There is no reason to provoke a needless fight,” the analysts said. “We say needless, as our view remains that Gensler is in no hurry to approve an Ethereum ETF as he w...

Regulators in Florida and Alaska have told Binance US that it can no longer serve its residents, according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

JPMorgan reports GBTC sell declining, highlights ETF record outflows

Analysts at JPMorgan have indicated a potential easing in the selling pressure on Bitcoin, as the bulk of profit-taking from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) appears to be concluding. In a market report released on Jan. 25, a team led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, JPMorgan’s market strategy managing director,”GBTC profit taking has largely happened already.” The assessment suggests that the primary factors influencing Bitcoin’s price fluctuations, specifically those linked to GBTC, might be diminishing. Grayscale’s fund has been trading below its net asset value since early 2021. Analysts attribute the $4.3 billion in outflows since its Jan. 11 conversion to an ETF to investors cashing in on earlier GBTC investments. This is seen as a key factor in Bitcoin’s near 20% price fall, with its value now below $40,000, coinciding with the introduction of several US Bitcoin ETFs. Notably, on Jan. 24, these funds experienced a record high in daily net ou...

SEC delays decision on BlackRock’s Ethereum spot ETF launch

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on BlackRock’s application to launch a spot Ethereum (ETH) ETF to March. According to a document on the SEC website, a new decision on the application, which was supposed to be made on Jan. 25, is now expected on March 10, 2024. SEC representatives explained their decision due to the lack of time to review all the application details. “The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein.” SEC filing Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart said delays in Ethereum spot ETF offerings will likely continue.
