Samourai Wallet Founders Arrested and Charged With Money Laundering

Federal prosecutors charged Samourai Wallet founders Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill with conspiracy to commit money laundering on Wednesday, as the U.S. government continues its approach to prosecuting crypto mixing tools that may be used by illicit actors and foreign governments to hide fund transfers.　　According to a press release issued Wednesday, the pair developed, marketed and operated the mixer, which “facilitated more than $100 million in money laundering transactions from illegal dark web markets.”　　Samourai overall facilitated around $2 billion in “unlawful transactions” between 2015 and the present, the release alleged. An accompanying indictment said this figure was calculated by converting the value of bitcoin laundered through the funds to U.S. dollars, based on bitcoins price “at the time of each transaction.”　　Rodriguez, 35, and Hill, 65, collected approximately $4.5 million in fees for their mixing services, according to prosecutors. Different features had different pool fees, according to the indictment.　　The pair are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years and five years, respectively.　　Rodriguez was arrested on Wednesday morning and will be arraigned in Pennsylvania today or tomorrow, according to the press release.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs see daily net outflow of $120 million

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw a total daily net outflow of $120.64 million on Wednesday as eight products recorded saw zero flows, according to data from SoSoValue.　　Grayscale‘s GBTC had $130.42 million leave the converted bitcoin ETF, while Fidelity and Ark Invest’s funds were the only two to have inflows totaling about $10 million, SoSoValue data showed. Eight other funds including BlackRock‘s IBIT and Bitwise’s BITB, recorded zero flows. BlackRocks IBIT in particular, ended its 71-day positive streak on Wednesday.　　“Days with zero inflows are typical and not indicative of product failure,” Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets, told The Block. “It also coincides with market performance and geopolitical tensions, highlighting complexities beyond ETF flows.”　　Joe Caselin, head of institutional marketing of BIT crypto exchange also said that zero flows in an ETF is no special event, while they could indicate ETF excitement cooling down. “Bridging fiat into the BTC narrative takes time, and we will continue to see fresh inflows coming in waves as the slow but unstoppable machine of TradFi clicks with crypto,” Caselin said.　　Bloomberg ETF Analyst James Seyffart previously explained on X that ETF shares are created or destroyed in units, which only happens when there is a

Binance Converts All SAFU Fund Assets to USDC: Does This Signal a Market Peak?

Established by Binance in 2018 as an emergency insurance reserve for its users, the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) is designed to reimburse traders in the event of the exchange losing investor assets, such as in cases of hacking.　　The fund aims to maintain a value of over $1 billion under normal circumstances. Prior to this conversion, SAFU held both Bitcoin BTC and BNB. According to CoinGecko data, both assets declined by 12.6% and 9.1% respectively over the past seven days. Therefore, to avoid further price volatility, the cryptocurrency exchange has decided to convert all of the funds assets to USDC to enhance “reliability and stability.”　　“SAFU is an emergency insurance fund established in 2018 to protect Binance users in extreme cases,” Binance wrote in a blog post. “Over the years, we have been monitoring the size of SAFU to ensure that the balance is sufficient to safeguard our users.”　　In this conversion, approximately $1 billion worth of Bitcoin was transferred out of SAFUs Bitcoin wallet address, and slightly over $740 million worth of BNB was transferred out of its BSC wallet address. Using a blockchain explorer to track, both amounts eventually entered Binances hot wallet address. Now, SAFU only holds 1

Shortly after completing a high-valuation financing round, Web3 entertainment platform ZKasino is accused of conducting a “rug pull” by unilaterally modifying information such as “returning ETH,” forcing coin swaps, and transferring over 10,000 ETH staked assets to an interest-bearing platform. In response, the involved investment parties have distanced themselves from the issue post-facto, while ZKasinos official statement dismisses the communitys rights protection incident as FUD rumors and does not address the refund issue.Forced “Donations” and Coin Swaps of Staked Assets, Official Response Still Pending　　On the evening of April 20th, many community users reported that ZKasino had removed the statement “Ethereum will be returned and can be bridged back” from its official websites Bridge funds interface, preventing users from making withdrawals. At the same time, the projects whitepaper not only secretly changed the user-staked assets to a donation mode but also forcibly initiated an “ID0,” converting all the ETH staked by users into its own platform token, $ZKAS.　　According to on-chain analyst @EmberCN, ZKasino transferred over 10,515 ETH (worth approximately $33 million) from more than 10,000 users bridged into ZKasino to a multi-signature address on April 21st, and then deposited it into Lido.　　ZKasinos actions have sparked anger within the community, with many
