"What important events occurred in the past 24 hours"
Arizona House passes Bitcoin Reserve Bill, advancing the establishment of cryptocurrency reserves
The Arizona House of Representatives passed two bills that may allow the state to establish reserves in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
In the third reading of Senate Bill 1025 (SB1025) on April 28, 31 members voted in favor, while 25 opposed. Another similar bill, SB1373, passed with 37 votes in favor and 19 against. These approvals bring these bills closer to being signed into law than similar initiatives in any other U.S. state.
Meanwhile, President Trump signed an executive order in March proposing the establishment of a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" and "digital asset reserve."
The new crypto bank ether.fi announced the launch of a $40 million venture capital fund, ether.fi Ventures Fund I, aimed at supporting fearless entrepreneurs redefining industry possibilities.
Additionally, the fund has disclosed its initial investment projects, which are Resolv, Rise Chain, and Symbiotic.
Loopscale posted on the X platform that it is working towards a friendly resolution regarding the previous hacking incident, and progress is going well:
At 2:19 AM EST on April 29, approximately 10,000 WSOL (about $1.48 million) has been returned to the Loopscale wallet;
At 3:14 PM EST on April 29, another 4,463 WSOL (about $660,000) has been returned to the Loopscale wallet;
Yesterday, 5,000 WSOL (about $740,000) was returned to the Loopscale wallet.
Loopscale added that it is still working towards a final resolution and will continue to provide updates.
Binance Wallet announces MilkyWay TGE participation threshold, Alpha points must reach 75 points
According to the official announcement, Binance Wallet has announced the participation threshold for MilkyWay TGE, requiring Alpha points to reach 75.
According to Cointelegraph, the founder of crypto fintech company Bankera has been accused of using funds raised during the 2018 initial coin offering (ICO) to purchase luxury properties worldwide.
Leaked company records and bank statements show that founders Vytautas Karalevičius, Justas Dobiliauskas, and Mantas Mockevičius transferred nearly half of the ICO funds (about $114 million) to a bank they purchased in Vanuatu. The bank subsequently issued loans to companies owned by the three for purchasing luxury properties in the French Riviera and Lithuania.
Bankera had promised to become "the bank of the blockchain era" and obtain an EU banking license, but this has not yet been realized. Its originally planned profit-sharing scheme was suspended in 2022. The founders' lawyer denied any fraudulent activity in the ICO but declined to comment on specific transactions.
Upbit to launch SIGN KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs
According to the official announcement, Upbit will launch SIGN KRW, BTC, and USDT trading pairs.
Binance stated regarding Alpha points that only the main account is eligible to acquire Alpha points, and the assets of sub-accounts will be combined into the main account's points. It is not allowed to spread assets across multiple accounts to gain more points. Therefore, sub-accounts do not qualify for independent Alpha point acquisition and will not participate in airdrops separately.
Binance will distribute 356 HAEDAL airdrops to users with Alpha points reaching 80
Binance announced that Binance Alpha will open Haedal Protocol (HAEDAL) trading on April 29 at 20:00, and all eligible Binance users with at least 80 Alpha points will receive 356 HAEDAL airdrops in their Alpha accounts within 10 minutes after trading begins.
