The BSV community has extensive participation in Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC 20. Behind Unisat, the core wallet of BRC20, is the Chinese development team of the previous BSV community, which has developed Sensible Contract, a smart contract solution on BSV. By @TechFlowPost

BTC premium on Binance US raises concern
People spotting a BTC premium on Binance US and seem to be jumping the gun saying its a big market maker pulling funds
— Conor Ryder (@ConorRyder) May 9, 2023
No change in market depth on the exchange makes me nearly certain this isn't the case yet
IMO more likely Binance US offering slower USD withdrawal times after… pic.twitter.com/HSKaHtB0p1
Current rumor is market maker getting taken out. Causing inflated USD market prices on Binance US.
— Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) May 8, 2023
My hunch is Binance getting forced out of US market in CFTC settlement and continuing the rotation from BUSD->BTC->USDT that I said was driving up the market to reallocate funds…
Otherwise two popular theories are:

1) DCG selling to cover payments – seems unlikely
2) Wintermute carried out on directional trade – seems less likely but not impossible, just wouldn’t align with all the details either
No change in liquidity makes me think its nothing to do with market makers leaving https://t.co/A0lMtVzrhm

Gate.io exposed for having lax KYC measure
When stolen funds go to a crypto exchange people like to assume that there is a real person with a real identity tied to an account
— ZachXBT (@zachxbt) May 9, 2023
To disprove this I was able to create an account on @gate_io and KYC as “Kim Jong-Un” with the email “notlazarus” and within minutes I was verified pic.twitter.com/oCZLK4hBh9
I went and tested this additional times using fictitious names such as “Jack Hoff” and using other names recently placed on the OFAC sanctions list with email addresses like “harmonyhacker” and “lazaruslover”

Bittrex files for bankruptcy
Yes, we filed chap 11. Yes, we still have 100% of all customer funds. Yes, there will be a claims process through the bankruptcy courts. This was the cleanest way to bury the baby – RIP @BittrexExchange https://t.co/BkhtVppln3
