According to CoinDesk, citing insiders, the Silicon Valley investment firm represented by Proof Group, as part of the Fahrenheit consortium, successfully acquired the bankrupt cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius and is now involved in planning the relaunch of the former cryptocurrency trading giant FTX.
According to investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners, several proposals for FTX's potential relaunch have been narrowed down to one of three shortlisted options. In addition to a possible relaunch, other options being considered include selling the entire trading platform along with its 9 million customer list or bringing in partners. Perella Weinberg partner Kevin Cofsky stated last month that a final decision is expected to be made by mid-December.

2. "Understanding the BTC Ecosystem and Tools in One Article"
Before understanding these protocols, let's first answer a question: Why has the BTC ecosystem suddenly been discovered for its value?
This involves two important technological updates. The first is the Segregated Witness upgrade in 2017, which effectively expanded BTC's block data from 1MB to 4MB, but the expanded portion could only be used to store signatures.
It wasn't until the Taproot upgrade at the end of 2021 that advanced scripting could first be written in Segregated Witness, allowing complex data to be written on BTC. BTC made significant progress in programmability and scalability, leading to the emergence of protocols with complex logic. The BTC ecosystem finally began its next milestone phase, which is a major opportunity for the ecosystem's explosion in 2023.
