In a verdict that resonates deeply within the blockchain community, Sam Bankman-Fried, former FTX CEO, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. The case against Sam centered on allegations of fraud and money laundering, with prosecutors advocating for a 40 to 50 year sentence to match the severity of billions stolen from FTX customers. In contrast, his defense argued for leniency, suggesting 5 to 6.5 years for what they deemed non-violent, first-offense actions.
For the blockchain community, the FTX collapse underlines critical vulnerabilities in the architecture and governance of centralized exchanges. DeFi fixes the very problem that led to the loss of funds at FTX. When you deposit funds to an exchange you are trusting that a bad player isn’t going to go gambling with your funds through a subsidiary. On a decentralized exchange the location of the funds is transparent and viewable in a block explorer at any time.
Blockchains can solve financial fraud and we just need to use them and make them better so people want to use them
As Bankman-Fried prepares for his incarceration, the community is left to ponder the lessons learned and the path forward for creating more resilient, trustworthy and decentralized trading platforms. This case serves as a watershed moment, prompting a collective reevaluation of the principles and practices that underpin the blockchain sector.

Bitcoin is back over $70k again, dip buyers rejoice, panic resides and all is good in the markets. That is unless you look at the ETH/BTC chart which looks like it’s about to fall off a cliff.
We’ve been bouncing off the 0.05 level a few times already and it’s failed to really break up above the trend line. Hopefully it will hold as ETH/BTC up is good for everything else.
