introduced a set of stringent rules, effectively banning unregistered foreign
cryptocurrency exchanges from operating within the country. This action occurs
as part of Taiwan's commitment to enhancing investor protection and promoting

Bitcoin Investors With More Than 10,000 BTC Are Selling Again As explained by analyst James V. Straten in a new post on X, the BTC whales, who had earlier been in a phase of accumulation, have switched their behavior to that of distribution now. The relevant indicator here is the “Trend Accumulation Score” from Glassnode, which keeps track of whether Bitcoin investors have been buying or selling during the past month. This metric finds this value by looking at the balance changes in the addresses of the holders. The score also puts a higher weightage on the larger entities, meaning that the accumulation of a few large holders would be more significant for the indicator than the behavior of the smaller hands.

Plea: Bankman-Fried's Latest Bid for ReleaseThe journey towards this request began in August when
Bankman-Fried's release on bond was revoked. He was incarcerated after a judge

court had not definitively closed the door to further applications from the

including receiving a lengthy list of potential witnesses, thousands of pages
of materials, and over 1,300 exhibits from the government, made a strong case
