FTX sues SkyBridge Capital and its founder to recover investment funds for creditors
Odaily Planet Daily News FTX filed a lawsuit against Anthony Scaramucci and his hedge fund SkyBridge Capital in an attempt to recover funds for creditors. The lawsuit is one of 23 lawsuits filed in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court on Friday. Court documents show that plaintiffs also include digital asset exchange Crypto.com and political groups such as FWD.US founded by Mark Zuckerberg.
FTX claims that during the 2022 crypto bear market, founder SBF engaged in influence buying activities and made lavish and ostentatious investments throughout the year.
One relationship in which SBF invested a significant amount of time and money was with Scaramucci, as he built “financial, political and social” networks, according to the documents.
FTX is now seeking to recoup those investments, saying they “brought little benefit” and “instead only bolstered SBF’s position in politics and traditional finance.”
SBF invested $67 million in various SkyBridge businesses in 2022 as Scaramucci had been “seeking a bailout,” the firm said. SkyBridge’s assets under management have fallen to $2.2 billion from a high of $9 billion in 2015, according to the filing.
A representative for Scaramucci declined to comment.
In September 2022, SBF and Scaramucci announced that FTX’s venture capital arm would acquire a 30% stake in SkyBridge. Financial terms were not disclosed at the time. Scaramucci said at the time that the investment reflected that he was “thinking about the next decade at SkyBridge.” (Bloomberg)

Odaily Planet Daily reported that recently, the Bank of Korea signed a usability testing agreement for CBDC and tokenized deposit pilot projects with the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
As reported in September, the Bank of Korea is preparing to conduct a tokenized deposit trial for around 100,000 people, having announced formal plans for such a trial a year ago, in conjunction with a wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) for interbank settlements.
In June, MSIT and the Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA) provided the Bank of Korea with a budget to develop a voucher program using smartphones, which can be used to purchase welfare, cultural, educational and other goods and services. As a result, the Bank of Korea developed a digital voucher management platform designed to address the settlement complexity and fraud potential associated with paper vouchers. The voucher will use Singapores dedicated money (PBM) model, which essentially encapsulates deposit tokens in smart contracts and défines the conditions for the use of the tokens.
The FSC has approved seven local banks to participate as innovative financial services, although the banks compliance will be constantly reviewed. These banks include Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank, Hana Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea, Nonghyup Bank and Busan Bank. It is worth noting that deposit tokens will be protected by the traditional deposit protection system. So far, the Bank of Korea has not announced details about user recruitment and vouchers.

Vitalik publishes an article on prediction market: Information finance brings us closer to the truth
Odaily Planet Daily News Vitalik published a new article From Prediction Markets to Information Finance and said that he has been a close supporter and follower of Polymarket this year, and the prediction market is one of the Ethereum applications that excites him the most.
Vitalik believes that Polymarket has two sides, one is a betting site for participants, and the other is a news site for everyone else. When the election results gradually came out, although many experts and news sources had been tempting viewers to hear news that was favorable to Harris, Polymarket directly revealed the truth, that is, Trumps chance of winning has reached 95%. The investment of real money by users can make the market realize what the truth is closer to.
In addition, prediction markets can also use finance as a way to align incentives in order to provide valuable information to the audience. Information finance solves the trust problem that people actually have. A common concern of this era is the lack of knowledge and not knowing who to trust in political, scientific and business environments. Information finance applications can help become part of the solution. He predicts that one technology that will drive the development of information finance in the next decade is artificial intelligence.
Odaily Planet Daily News: Ari Paul, founder and CIO of digital asset investment company BlockTower, posted on the X platform that the market is currently in the early part of the latter part of the overall bull market (i.e., the progress is about 70%, or 66%). Recent buyers are preparing for a 6-12 month rise, and more are institutional rather than retail speculation.
I personally expect the market to have a fairly gradual rebound at this stage, and I may see $90,000 or even $125,000 in BTC. Retail participation will gradually increase, bringing with it rising leverage and volatility. At present, buying the right assets and holding them for the next few months may be the wisest strategy. In the later stages of the bull market, more aggressive trading will be rewarded.
1 Confirmation founder: Polymarket is the largest investment to date, predicting that the market will grow 100 times in the future
Odaily Planet Daily News: Nick Tomaino, founder of cryptocurrency investment institution 1confirmation , posted on the X platform, The largest investment to date is Polymarket. We invested in the early stages of the project in 2020 and have supported the company to this day. Currently, Polymarkets trading volume has exceeded 2.6 billion US dollars and has become the best real-time prediction tool for the US presidential election. You can watch founder and CEO Shayne Coplan on CNBC to discuss how Polymarket continues to publish election news before other media. Some analysts say that trading volume will decline after the election, but I think the prediction market will grow 100 times in the next few years, and Polymarket will lead this trend. Geopolitical, cultural, health and sports markets will occupy an important position in the prediction market, and the growth of the political market will continue.
