Craig Wright Loses Lawsuit Against Hodlonaut in Norway Over Satoshi Nakamoto Claims
So who did? Magnus Granath, who goes by âHodlonautâ on Twitter, has won a lawsuit in Norway against Craig Wright, court documents revealed Thursday. Wright has long claimed he is the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamotoâbut Hodlonaut and many others have publicly challenged Wrightâs claims.

Tether USDT Will Be Available From 24,000 ATMs Across Brazil
Lucky for them. Tether announced that it plans to make its USDT cryptocurrencyâthe worldâs dominant stablecoin đ° by market capitalizationâavailable at over 24,000 ATMs across Brazil.
âThe difficulties and limitations imposed by inflation and a less-than-inclusive financial system have excluded many of Brazilâs citizens from being able to participate in the country's growing economy,â đŹ Paolo Ardoino, Tetherâs CTO, said in a statement. âAdding tether tokens to ATMs across Brazil provides the opportunity to include more people in the financial system.â

It makes a lot of sense.
Warner Bros Releases Ethereum-Compatible âLord of the Ringsâ NFTs
Fans of the saga will be happy. At least one major Hollywood studio is looking to pivot its home entertainment business from DVD đ collections to NFTs. Warner Bros. is releasing NFTs for its iconic 2001 film âLord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring,â at web3.wb.com, the studio announced.
The NFTs effectively function as an all-in-one digital experience and each include a 4K copy of the film, hours of bonus behind the scenes đş footage, lots of behind the scenes stills, and exclusive AR collectible assets inspired by the film.

Put your hands up! Interpol storms into the Metaverse
The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) is putting on its virtual reality headsets as it prepares to crack down on an expanding list of âpossible crimesâ in the Metaverse. According to an announcement, Interpol has launched the âfirst ever Metaverse specifically designed for law enforcement đ worldwideâ â introducing it at the 90th Interpol General Assembly in New Delhi â already fully operational. Even there, crime will not escape.
Binance US taps âmost feared man on Wall Streetâ for new investigations unit
United States crypto exchange Binance US has created a new âinvestigations unitâ and tapped a former FBI special agent as its new head, with the aim of seeking out and stopping illegal â activity on its platform. The âinvestigations unitâ is a brand new unit within the U.S. crypto exchange, the firmâs head of legal, Krishna Juvvadi, confirmed and sees former FBI agent BJ Kang become the companyâs first âhead of investigations.â
The role will see him partnering with law enforcement, regulators and even other đą exchanges to seek out and stop illegal activity on its platform, Kang will also build an âinvestigations infrastructureâ for Binance US. A very serious approach to the issue.
Conclusion: Kraken have blocked Russian accounts on their platform. The sanctions are in full effect. The question remains. Will these funds mostly flow to DeFi or will Russian users get out of crypto?
