Federal Judge Gregory Woods has approved an order requiring the cryptocurrency lending company Voyager Digital and its affiliates to pay a settlement of $1.65 billion to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). According to documents filed with the U.S. Southern District Court of New York, the judge stated that the order would largely not impact the bankruptcy court proceedings. Voyager filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2022. As part of the settlement agreement, Voyager will be “permanently restrained and enjoined” from marketing or providing products or services related to digital assets. Under the settlement agreement, parties associated with Voyager must cooperate with FTC officials, including testifying in hearings, trials, and evidentiary disclosures. After one year, Voyager must also report its compliance status and be subject to FTC supervision. In October, the FTC announced that it had reached a settlement with the bankrupt crypto lending company Voyager Digital, permanently banning it from handling consumer assets. The FTC claimed that Voyager and its former CEO, Stephen Ehrlich, misled consumers, resulting in over $1 billion in cryptocurrency losses for consumers after the company collapsed. The proposed settlement agreement with Voyager and its affiliates would permanently prohibit these companies from offering, marketing, or promoting any products or services
The Block Pro, on X platform, stated that various attempts have been made to achieve Bitcoin scalability so far. The Lightning Network stands out as the most significant scalability solution for Bitcoin, with a Total Value Locked (TVL) reaching nearly $200 million in 2023, primarily driven by the increase in Bitcoins price. Other Bitcoin scalability solutions like DeFiChain, Rootstock, and Stacks have lower TVL compared to the Lightning Network, possibly due to security trade-offs as they inherit only partial security from Bitcoin. Additionally, Bitcoin Ordinals allocate unique identifiers for satoshis, enabling them to function as NFTs. With the use of SegWit and Taproot upgrades, homogeneous BRC-20 tokens can be minted. These innovations resulting from the SegWit and Taproot upgrades demonstrate the potential of Bitcoin in areas like Layer 2 in the future.
