Can crypto users trust the supply chain behind hardware wallets? Malicious implants found in @Ledger devices, including those sold through authorized channels, raise questions about the middlemen handling wallets before they reach buyers. My latest for @Cointelegraph, featuring insights from @joegrand, @Nneuman, @MatiGreenspan and @Trezor. cointelegraph.com/news/hardw…

🇺🇸 OPINION: America needs crypto rules that outlast whoever controls Washington. Former New York Gov. @andrewcuomo argues agency action can fill the gap left by the stalled CLARITY Act, but only Congress can create a durable US market structure. What happens when political control changes?

The SEC has opened the door for 24/7, tokenized financial markets in the U.S. Our OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue is one example of what can now be built. But without bipartisan legislation, the new Congress can constrain or undo the rules that make this innovation possible, particularly if those rules are seen as politically contested. And hell hath no fury like a Congress scorned. We must pass durable, bipartisan law for digital finance, or risk watching the next generation of builders leave America for greener pastures. ct.com/opinion/us-crypto-rul…

👨‍💻 A hard day’s work for a DPRK IT worker. One of the “developers” hired by a fake DeFi startup works through the assigned project: frontend, backend, upgradeable smart contracts, MetaMask, testnet faucets, and ChatGPT. All recorded in #ANYRUN Sandbox. This footage is from the undercover investigation into the Famous Chollima IT worker scheme — after the fake interviews were over, and real access had been granted. 👀 What they do once onboarded?

I spent my childhood in a South Korean city not too far from the border. North Korea still felt distant despite the proximity, and I always wanted to understand that part of our history a little better. Thanks to @0xfigo, @MauroEldritch and @anyrun_app for bringing me along.
In June, Cointelegraph was invited by @0xfigo, @MauroEldritch and @anyrun_app to take part in an investigation into suspected North Korean IT workers operating inside a fake crypto startup created by the researchers. Our reporter posed as a VC, discussed funding and even offered them a shot at Cointelegraph coverage. They didn’t know who they were pitching to.

Hi. Professional C/C++ programmer here. The open-source code I can find written by Adam Back and Satoshi Nakamoto don't look remotely similar. Back's code looks typical of academic Unix programmers who also hack their code to run on Windows. Satoshi code was written by a professional Windows programmer who also wrote for Unix. Stylistically, they look nothing alike. There's not enough time between 2005 when I can find the newest Adam Back and January 2009 when Satoshi published Bitcoin/0.1 to account for the change. Both are perfectly competent programmers, but stylistically, they are completely different. The NYTimes tried to compare their English language in posts/emails. I'm compare their C/C++ language in their open-source code. The NYTimes merely points out they both use C++ as if that's another corroborating detail, when the actual code seems to disqualify Adam Back.
Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V

Blockchains are racing to launch their own perpetual futures DEXs to capture trading activity and liquidity. But derivatives markets have a long history of consolidating around just a few dominant venues. Why every chain suddenly wants a perp DEX, and why most may not win.👇
