    UK Court Orders Binance to Track Down Alleged Crypto Hackers

    London’s High Court has ordered Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, to identify and freeze the accounts of hackers involved in an alleged $2.6 million heist on its platform. The order follows a request from a crypto company called Fetch.ai, which says its Binance accounts were compromised back in June. According to a transcript of the High Court proceedings, Fetch.ai alleges that the hackers made off with multiple cryptocurrencies: Tether, Binance Coin, Bitcoin, and FET, Fetch.ai’s own...

    Holly Herndon Launches Music NFT Auction House on Ethereum

    In July, American composer Holly Herndon launched Holly+, a platform for creating music with a digital model of her own voice. Holly+ is a kind of deepfake program. In the same way that digital effects artists can summon up hyperrealistic versions of Tom Cruise or Barack Obama, Holly+ spits out strange, garbled versions of audio files in what sounds like Herndon’s singing voice. Now, Herndon is adding an auction house component that gives users the chance to profit from the songs they create. On...

    Rep. Anna Eshoo Asks Pelosi to Amend Infrastructure Bill’s Crypto Provision

    In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA-18) has expressed concerns about a controversial new provision on crypto tax reporting. The provision was a last-minute addition to the much fussed-over infrastructure bill, which would put over $1 trillion into the nation’s public works. The Senate passed it earlier this week, and it’s headed to the House later this year. On Twitter, Eshoo wrote that the bill “imposes new reporting requirements on miners, validators & developers of wall...

    The cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has reached a $100 million settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, according to a statement from the company. This past fall, BitMEX was charged with intentionally evading U.S. regulations. Like most other popular crypto exchanges, BitMEX has its headquarters overseas; regulators alleged that the company allowed U.S. traders to use its platform without fully complying with anti-money laundering and know...

    Senate Passes $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill, Crypto Tax Debate Heads to House

    The Senate has passed its infrastructure bill, clearing the way for a $1.2 trillion infusion into the nation’s public works. The vote was 69-30. Also in the package: a new provision with serious implications for the crypto industry. The bill broadens current tax reporting requirements for businesses acting as “brokers” for cryptocurrencies. This would apply to exchanges and other money service businesses selling digital assets, but the language is nebulous enough to potentially encompass crypto...

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has announced charges against a crypto lending project and two of its executives over an unregistered securities offering. According to a press release, DeFi Money Market raised over $30 million over the course of a year by selling two different kinds of Ethereum-based tokens: the first promised holders 6.25% interest, and the second was a so-called “governance token” (roughly analogous to voting shares in a traditional company). When the company realized...

    NFTs from three of today’s buzziest collections—Bored Apes, Meebits, and CryptoPunks—will be among the lots at an upcoming auction at Christie’s. A specialist at Christie’s confirmed the news to Decrypt. NFTs are non-fungible tokens: blockchain-based collectibles that can be bought and sold as proof of ownership for files on the internet. Christie’s sold its first NFT last year, along with a corresponding physical sculpture. Sensing a nascent market (and competition from Sotheby’s), the auction...

    Previously unseen photographs of late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell are being auctioned as NFTs. The photos come courtesy of a company called Cryptograph, which uses Ethereum and bills itself as a philanthropy-oriented marketplace for crypto collectibles. The images are among the last taken of Cornell during his lifetime. Collectively titled “The Last Session,” they were shot in 2017—the year of Cornell’s death—by the photographer Randall Slavin. “The Last Session," by the photographer Ran...

    At a conference hosted by the Aspen Institute, SEC Chair Gary Gensler stressed the need for stricter and better enforced investor protections around cryptocurrencies. "Right now, we just don't have enough investor protection in crypto,” said Gensler. “Frankly, at this time, it's more like the Wild West." Most cryptocurrencies, he explained, are primarily "highly speculative stores of value.” Once a partner at Goldman Sachs, Gensler was a relatively progressive regulator during his tenure as Chai...

    Former Monero developer Ricardo Spagni was arrested on fraud charges nearly two weeks ago, according to documents filed with a Tennessee district court. The charges have to do with invoices filed over ten years ago, when Spagni was working as an employee of a South African company called Cape Cookies. Authorities are alleging Spagni created fake invoices from other companies (some of which didn’t actually exist), filed them to Cape Cookies’ finance department, and made off with the money—nearly...

CryptoPunks are among the oldest and most prized NFTs: blockchain-based collectibles that can be bought and sold as proof of ownership for files on the internet.

    For the past decade, Leaving Records has been responsible for some of the most consistent and diverse experimental music coming out of LA. While the word “genreless” emerged as a catch-all descriptor for a new wave of Gen-Z musicians, Matthew David McQueen—the label’s founder—took the opposite tack: What if we thought about music as “all-genre”? What if, rather than scrubbing the texture from the way we think about and categorize music, we left things messy, and replete with meaning?  Leaving’s...

    Last month, Roc-A-Fella Records sued co-owner Damon Dash for trying to sell an NFT tied to Jay-Z’s album “Reasonable Doubt.” Typically, when artists try to cash in by “making an NFT of” a song or an album, they’re talking about a file (usually an image or video) associated with the music. An NFT is just a kind of unique cryptocurrency that’s attached to a file. Buying an NFT gets you the token and a copy of the file—nothing more. But according to Roc-A-Fella’s filing, Dash was allegedly trying t...
