The SEC extends its reach beyond the United States by suing Binance, a thoroughly global company, and its high-profile CEO, Changpong Zhao, for offering unregistered securities, commingling client funds, and more. I’ve tried to prove that I’m doing it — from this week’s columns, analysis articles, interviews, etc., I carefully selected 10 books I want to read on Sunday.

After news broke that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was suing Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, CEO Changpeng Zhao (aka CZ) I reached out to Twitter.

The constant inflated price of worthless tokens threatens the reputation and existentiality of the Ethereum blockchain.

In the 1988 film Die Hard, a NYPD detective travels to Los Angeles to meet his estranged wife and attends her company party. In the meantime, terrorists occupy the building and take the partygoers hostage.

NFTfi—the latest technology that combines NFT and DeFi (decentralized finance)—is on the rise. NFTfi is a collective term for a range of tools aimed at providing broad utility and liquidity to NFTs, including NFT-backed loans, fractional tokens, and NFT rentals and lending.

NFTs are commonly known as tokens based on the Ethereum blockchain. However, recently, attention has been focused on “Bitcoin NFT”, which is also called “Ordinal NFT” and “Bitcoin Ordinals”.
