Samourai Wallet’s co-founders received four- and five-year prison terms in the US for operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business through their non-custodial crypto mixer. The co-founders of privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet Samourai Wallet were sentenced to four and five years in prison Wednesday, setting an important precedent as privacy development makes a comeback in crypto. Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill were sentenced on Wednesday for conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business and for facilitating transactions involving criminal proceeds, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) said. Prosecutors argued that Samourai’s CoinJoin mixing service helped conceal the movement of illicit funds, even though the wallet was fully non-custodial. “The sentences the defendants received send a clear message that laundering known criminal proceeds—regardless of the technology used or whether the proceeds are in the form of fiat or cryptocurrency — will face serious consequences,” US Att...

BitMine’s $3.7 billion paper loss and the falling mNAV valuations are threatening the business model of DATs, according to 10x Research. Concerns are mounting over the sustainability of corporate crypto-treasury firms as BlackRock moves forward with a staked Ether fund that analysts say could compete directly with existing digital-asset treasuries.

The exchange will publish monthly, independently verified reserve reports, giving users third-party confirmation that assets are fully backed. MEXC has expanded its partnership with blockchain security platform Hacken to introduce monthly, independently verified Proof-of-Reserves (PoR) audits, marking a shift toward a more formalized transparency framework for the exchange.

Some users viewed the asset reallocation as an alarming sign of the platform’s ability to blacklist user funds without requiring a governance proposal. The Trump family-backed crypto project World Liberty Financial has reignited concerns about its ability to freeze and reassign user funds, despite promoting itself as “community governed.” The platform said Wednesday that it will reallocate assets affected in a pre-launch phishing attack that exposed the seed phrases of what it described as a “relatively small subset” of user wallets. WLFI said the compromised wallets were targeted through “third-party security lapses,” not issues with the platform or its smart contracts. “This was not a WLFI platform or smart contract issue. Attackers gained access to user wallets through third-party security lapses,” wrote WLFI in the X post. Read more
