The FTX exchange bankruptcy case was the most shocking "explosion" event in the cryptocurrency world in 2022, regarded as the "Lehman Moment" in the crypto space. It collapsed from its peak in just a few days, affecting numerous global investors and institutions.
FTX was founded in 2019 by the "crypto prodigy" Sam Bankman-Fried (abbreviated as SBF). To seize market share, the platform launched aggressive businesses such as high-leverage trading and diverse derivatives, and spent heavily to sponsor sports events and place Super Bowl ads, quickly rising to be among the top three cryptocurrency exchanges globally, with a valuation reaching $32 billion at the beginning of 2022. SBF also controlled the trading company Alameda Research, and these two related companies became the core vehicles for his subsequent operations.
On November 2, 2022, the cryptocurrency media CoinDesk exposed that Alameda's core assets were mostly FTT tokens issued by FTX, causing market panic with this "left hand to right hand" model. On November 6, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao announced the liquidation of his holdings in FTT, directly triggering a run by investors, with a single-day sell-off amounting to $5 billion. The next day, FTX's withdrawal system collapsed, and it was only at this point that SBF admitted to FTX's long-term misappropriation of user funds to support Alameda. Subsequently, Binance had planned to acquire FTX's non-U.S. business, but after reviewing the books and finding too many issues, they abandoned the acquisition, completely shattering market confidence.
On November 11, 2022, FTX, along with more than 130 affiliated companies, filed for bankruptcy protection, with a user fund shortfall of about $9 billion. The person in charge of handling the bankruptcy affairs found that FTX's internal finances were extremely chaotic, with customer funds mixed with company funds, allowing Alameda to freely misappropriate user deposits, and some funds were even used to purchase luxury homes, private jets, and political donations, with many transactions lacking audit trails.
SBF was quickly arrested in the Bahamas and extradited to the United States, where in 2023 he was found guilty of seven charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024, with a confiscation of $11.2 billion; his appeal in 2025 is likely to fail due to overwhelming evidence. The bankruptcy team subsequently recovered $14.5 to $16.5 billion in funds, and in the restructuring plan launched in 2024, small creditors could recover their principal plus a maximum interest of 9% (with an actual return rate of 118%), and by 2025, multiple rounds of fund disbursement had been completed. This incident caused the cryptocurrency market's market value to evaporate by over $200 billion and forced other exchanges in the industry to publicly disclose their asset reserves to prove their innocence.
The MOS Coin is involved in a pyramid scheme fraud case exceeding 57 million yuan.
At the beginning of 2022, three individuals partnered to create the MOS Air Coin and went to Shandong to find people to develop the MOS Dapp. They then held a press conference to establish the pyramid scheme organization "Sea Star Community," dividing the organization into five major districts and sixteen vanguard groups, managed by core members, who held morning meetings every day to assign performance tasks to members.
They promoted the MOS Coin through online platforms and nationwide offline training sessions, falsely claiming it to be a decentralized financial project. They also set up a referral rebate system to entice investors to buy coins to become members and develop downlines, giving rebates to uplines based on the number of downlines and the amount paid, thus forming a multi-level pyramid scheme structure.
The project had no actual business operations and relied entirely on the investments of new downlines to sustain itself. In early 2023, Chen and others were arrested; at that time, the MOS Dapp had over 10,000 registered accounts, with the highest level reaching 17 tiers. After being apprehended, the three confessed truthfully and returned all illegal gains, ultimately being sentenced to three years in prison with a five-year probation for organizing and leading a pyramid scheme, and were also fined 350,000 yuan.

#APRO is the first AI-enhanced oracle specifically designed to provide real-world data for blockchain, offering reliable high-throughput data feeds for the next generation of ecosystems (covering RWA, AI, prediction markets, and DeFi).
$AT has officially become the 59th project to participate in the Binance HODLer airdrop program.
Most on-chain applications require real-world information, but blockchains cannot read any information beyond their own networks.
So @APRO Oracle essentially acts as a bridge to pull data in a straightforward way without slowing down.
What I really like is how it handles data; sometimes it automatically pushes updates, and sometimes the applications simply request what they need.
No energy is wasted, and the AI layer makes it feel safer; it checks the data before it goes on-chain, which is very important because a wrong data source could ruin everything.
They also provide verifiable randomness, which is crucial for any situation where people want fairness and can actually verify it, such as games, lotteries, NFT minting, etc.

#美联储重启降息步伐 【Bo talks about trading】 System defines direction, open position and set stop-loss December 10 ETH midday analysis 1. Market Logic It is expected that the market will surge towards the resistance levels of 3470 and 3550 in the early hours today, with the main logic as follows: In the early hours, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut and will announce a QE bond buying plan of about 40 billion per month starting next month; It is expected that the market will peak and retreat around 3:10, and Powell's hawkish speech at 3:30 may lead to a downturn in the market; Macro risk indicators: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rose to 4.182%, and the dollar against the yen rose to 156.61 (close to the November high of 157.90), both of which are negatively correlated with the cryptocurrency market, caution is needed for macro weakness risks. In addition, last night at 23:00 ETH started to rise sharply, and at 23:42 a certain platform released a speech by “shadow” chairman Hassett: releasing the message that “the U.S. still has a large space for rate cuts,” pushing the price up to 3396. During this time, there was an abnormal volatility of about 42 minutes, and the efficiency of market information transmission is worth paying attention to, or there may be insider trading behavior; the world is truly a makeshift stage. 2. Technical Structure Analysis From the daily structure observation, ETH is in a critical bull-bear boundary area: Resistance area: Recent highs and the lower edge of the previous dense trading area constitute strong resistance, multiple attacks have not stabilized, reflecting significant selling pressure above; Momentum structure: During the rebound, trading volume gradually shrinks, showing a divergence between volume and price, the sustainability of the rise is questionable; Path simulation: Prices may make a “false breakout” near the current resistance area, quickly retreating after inducing bulls, thus confirming the short-term top structure and starting a volatile pullback. 3. Key Operational Signals Bearish signal: If a long upper shadow or a bearish engulfing candlestick combination appears, along with increased volume, it can be seen as a weakening signal; Important support: Pay attention to the trend support formed by connecting previous low points, if broken with increased volume, the pullback space may expand. Risk Warning: The above analysis is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. Market risks are high, and decisions should be made cautiously.#ETH走势分析 $BTC {future}(BTCUSDT) $ETH {future}(ETHUSDT) $BNB {future}(BNBUSDT)

December 10 ETH Afternoon Analysis
1. Market Logic It is expected that the market will surge to resistance levels of 3470 and 3550 in the early hours of today, with the main logic as follows: In the early hours, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut and will announce a QE bond purchase plan of about 40 billion each month starting next month; It is expected that the market will surge and then pull back around 3:10, and Powell's hawkish speech at 3:30 may lead to a downturn in the market; Macroeconomic risk indicators: The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.182%, and the USD/JPY rose to 156.61 (close to the November high of 157.90). Both are negatively correlated with the cryptocurrency market trend, and we need to be cautious of macroeconomic weakening risks. In addition, ETH began to rise significantly at 11 PM last night, and at 11:42 PM, a certain platform released a speech by 'shadow' chairman Hassett: releasing the news that 'the U.S. still has considerable room for interest rate cuts', pushing the price up to 3396. There were about 42 minutes of abnormal fluctuations during this period, and the efficiency of market information transmission is worth noting or there may be behavior related to insider trading; the world is indeed a makeshift stage.
