Justin Sun-advised HTX recently received $500 million worth of Tether (USDT), which it quickly moved between addresses and then distributed to various non-HTX addresses.  HTX distributes a tool to help verify its proof-of-reserves process, and a review of that address shows that as of January 1, HTX disclosed $696 million total USDT. This was largely made up of $552 million USDT-aETHUSDT — Tether lent on AAVE — meaning HTX only had approximately $145 million USDT that wasn’t lent out. That is until yesterday when it received $500 million directly from the Tether Treasury to TDToUxX8sH4z6moQpK3ZLAN24eupu2ivA4.

One year ago, the market cap of MSTR was $8.8 billion. Today, it’s about 1,000% higher even though its share price is only 600% higher. That extra 400% delta...

Following Ripple’s successful political activism via Fairshake and its other Washington DC lobbying efforts, its critics are reinvigorated. After it scored a victory in Donald Trump’s executive order that deprioritized bitcoin (BTC) and emphasized stablecoins like Ripple USD, Bitcoiners have focused their vitriol on the billionaire-led company for allegedly derailing plans for a US National Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Leading the attack is Riot Platforms’ Pierre Rochard, a Bitcoin maximalist. Leading the defense is Ripple CTO David Schwartz, who has fired back against Rochard’s claims that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) blockchain is centralized. Behind them, thousands of the communities’ supporters are rallying support for their causes. For example, Rochard retweeted a thread describing XRPL as being centrally administered by Ripple Labs. The thread highlights a legal notice from Ripple asserting that it and its logo are trademarked. Rochard went on to make the case that XRP is...
