Silvergate is the second-largest bank in the US that deals with cryptocurrency companies, ranking only after Signature. It acts as a crucial link between the crypto world and traditional fiat currencies. Recently, Silvergate has decided that the best course of action, given the regulatory changes in the industry, is to gradually wind down its operations and voluntarily liquidate. The closure plan guarantees full repayment of all deposits. In early March, Silvergate had already announced that it would discontinue the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN). Several crypto exchanges have already confirmed that they have not been affected by their association with Silvergate and that their clients' funds are safe.

A US Federal judge has ruled that symbols like 🚀📈💰, integrated into any posts made by financial institutions on social media, signify a potential profit from investments. The emphasis was made by former head of the SEC’s division, Lisa Braganza. From now on, she says, users will be warned of the legal consequences of using emojis.

Previously, we reported about a shocking hack where a scammer stole a $4 million NFT collection by just taking a photo. That case left us with many questions about the technical vector of the attack. The Trust Wallet conducted an investigation and revealed the scheme. The day before the affair, the perpetrator shared the NDA file with the victim and requested KYC information. The fake NDA contained malware that targeted the smartphone. The criminal then persuaded the victim to transfer funds from the multi-sig wallet to a single Trust Wallet to confirm NFT ownership and copied the information he needed. The balance photo was just smoke and mirrors. But damn, this scheme deserves an episode in the new James Bond series.

Over the last day, Voyager Digital transferred assets worth approximately $9.6 million to Coinbase, Binance US, and Kraken, including 4.9 million VGX, 221,000 LINK, 3,050 ETH, and 270 billion SHIB. Another interesting fact: one of the addresses has 6.8 trillion SHIB, putting it in 18th place among the largest owners of the meme coins after the transfer. We've got a riddle for you: you're broke, you need money, the enemy is nearby, so you transfer 270 billion coins to the exchange. Is it for a far-off journey or an inheritance?

In his new post, SBF found inconsistencies in documents filed by the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C) to a Delaware court alleging that FTX US is insolvent. S&C somehow failed to include $428 million of assets in FTX US bank accounts in the report.
