🔔 FTX Exec Freed Early – What’s Up? Caroline Ellison — former co‑CEO of Alameda Research and a central figure in the FTX collapse — has been released from U.S. federal custody after serving about 14 months of her 2‑year sentence in the massive FTX fraud case. She had pleaded guilty to multiple charges (including fraud and conspiracy) tied to the misuse of customer funds and cooperated extensively with prosecutors, serving as a key witness in the trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman‑Fried. 💼👩⚖️
🚨 Why It Matters:
Her early release closes one of the most high‑profile chapters of the FTX saga.
Ellison also agreed to decade‑long industry bans — she can’t be a company executive or exchange leader for 10+ years.
The FTX fallout reshaped regulatory scrutiny across the crypto sector.
🚨 Crypto Fraud & Crime Surge – Quick Take Scams and illicit activity in crypto aren’t just “small” problems anymore — they’re massive and growing. According to recent industry reports, fraud‑related revenue in crypto hit at least ~$14 billion in 2025, with projections to surpass $17 billion as attribution data completes. That means scams now out‑earn protocol hacks by a big margin, driven by social‑engineering attacks and AI‑powered fraud schemes that are much more effective at tricking victims than traditional tactics. AI tools help scammers build convincing fake identities and deepfakes, helping them steal millions in crypto per scam. Overall, fraud remains one of the top risks for investors and users in the space right now.

$ETH goAETH GK down12% news item about the Bitwise Ethereum ETF outflows:
👉 Ethereum ETF hit by heavy outflows – The Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF (AETH) saw a sharp withdrawal of about 12% of its assets in one day, roughly ~$950K leaving the fund, as risk-off sentiment returned to crypto markets. The move underscores increasing investor caution around crypto-linked investment products amid recent volatility and macro pressure.
TL;DR: Big redemption → AETH down 12% of AUM → bearish sentiment spike.
If you want, I can explain how ETF outflows typically impact ETH price next.
📉 BTC Price Weakness — Quick Take Bitcoin slid down toward about $89.5 K this week, ending lower as crypto appetite faded among traders and investors. Market demand has been weak — even big corporate buys (e.g., a ~$2.1 B BTC purchase by Strategy) didn’t spark a rebound — while tech stocks and AI hype are drawing more capital away from crypto. Broad risk-off sentiment and slow retail interest are keeping BTC and most altcoins in the red. 🚨 BTC is heading for weekly losses, and major altcoins like ETH, XRP and BNB are also down.
