KuCoin Hemorrhages $780 Million After US Charges It With Violating Anti-Money Laundering Laws

The failure to implement anti-money laundering controls had led to $9 billion in suspicious or criminal funds being received or sent by the exchange, the world’s seventh-largest, the DoJ said. The exchange was also accused of operating illegally in the US and of concealing some records of American customers. KuCoin Responds To The DoJ Allegations KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu responded to the allegations in a Mar. 27 X post, attributing the charges to “typical growth and regulatory issues” that nascent industries frequently face

Critics claim ‘buggy’ Bitcoin Lightning Network is slowly dying

Bitcoin’s Lightning Network was supposed to be the key to scaling Bitcoin adoption globally. Its proponents touted cheaper and faster transactions plus an emergent social graph for a new Bitcoin economy. Seemingly magical demonstrations by influencers like Jack Mallers heralded a fulfillment of Bitcoin ’s promise of peer-to-peer electronic cash. With transaction fees so cheap and transactions so instantaneous, Bitcoin ers started buying coffee and groceries over the Lightning Network. The idea was simple: sign a simple smart contract and transact endlessly via ‘bar tab’-type paper contracts, rather than paying an on-chain transaction fee every time. Unfortunately, Lightning usage started to stall in late 2023 and since then, several long-time Lightning believers have renounced their faith. In short, critics believe that the Lightning Network is slowly dying . Dwindling bitcoin capacity The amount of bitcoin that a user of the Lightning Network can access by joining a publicly

5 Low-Priced Crypto Gems for Quick Profits to Watch in April

Image
March 2024 was a truly roller-coaster month for crypto enthusiasts. Bitcoin hit an all-time high above $73,500, spurred by new ETFs and the coming halving, but then sharply dropped below $62,000 due to heavy profit-taking. Now, as Bitcoin wavers around $65,000, struggling to reclaim its previous gains, the community buzzes with uncertainty. Analysts are split in their opinions, so investors and traders keep guessing if the crypto king will rise or fall in this market cycle and how its next move will affect the broader crypto sector. In such a vulnerable atmosphere, it can be a wise move to shift your focus to low-priced tokens. Although they can barely compete with Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization, they are equally exciting as entry points into the realm of crypto investment and can turn your modest allocation into solid capital within a relatively short period of time.
