ZachXBT says both the wallet addresses that sent Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht 300 Bitcoin were active in 2014 and 2019 while he was in prison. Ross Ulbricht’s recent receipt of 300 Bitcoin is from “questionable sources,” but it’s unlikely to be a case where he donated it to himself, says blockchain researcher ZachXBT. Ulbricht, who founded the infamous online black market Silk Road, received 300 Bitcoin (BTC), worth $31.4 million, to his wallet that was soliciting donations, Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain said in a June 1 post to X. The funds came from wallets using a centralized mixing service called Jambler, which led some social media users to speculate, without evidence, that the funds could be Ulbricht’s profits from the Silk Road, which he might have hidden away before he was nabbed by authorities and sent to prison.

Traders are maximizing short-term profit strategies as the long-term economic outlook becomes increasingly unclear, Arrash Yasavolian said. Traders are increasingly pivoting to quick, short-term profit-taking strategies, in response to US President Donald Trump's trade tariffs, rather than letting their positions run, according to Arrash Yasavolian, CEO and founder of the Bittensor-based Taoshi AI-enhanced trading platform. In an interview with Cointelegraph, the CEO said the tariffs have created headline-driven volatility across financial markets that can shift sentiment, often oscillating between extremes in a single day. This has made markets far more difficult to trade. Yasavolian added: "That is the kind of behavior we have witnessed and we have shifted to this strategy internally as well," the CEO told Cointelegraph. Read more -
