    Justin Sun Seeks Sanctions Against World Liberty Over Undisclosed UAE Ownership

    Tron founder Justin Sun has escalated his legal dispute with World Liberty Financial by seeking sanctions over allegedly misleading ownership disclosures. Sun claims the Trump-linked crypto company concealed its United Arab Emirates (UAE) connections during their ongoing litigation. He argues that the late disclosure undermined his legal strategy and forced unnecessary litigation expenses. Sun initially invested $30 million in WLFI tokens in November 2024, and his total investment eventually reached $45 million. Sun sued World Liberty in April, accusing the company of fraudulently securing his investment and unlawfully freezing his tokens. He also challenged World Liberty’s attempt to move their dispute into private arbitration, arguing that the company’s revised disclosure could undermine federal court jurisdiction and escape federal proceedings. Sun plans to refile his lawsuit in California state court after resolving the sanctions motion.

    AstralBeam Moves Tokenized Netflix Stock Between Chains

    AstralBeam, a platform for moving tokenized assets between different blockchain networks, demonstrates the process of transferring a tokenized Netflix stock from the Casper chain to the Robinhood Chain. The token is burned on the Casper chain, verified by five independent relayers, and then the original ERC-20 tokens are unlocked on the Robinhood Chain. The process ensures that an asset never exists on two blockchains simultaneously, with the token disappearing from one network and reappearing on the other after verification.

  24. Update

    Wall Street Influences Bitcoin's Price Movements

    10x Research founder Markus Thielen, in a Cointelegraph episode, discusses how Wall Street traders and profit-taking whales have impacted Bitcoin's price surges. Thielen notes that institutional traders selling call options after rallies have made consecutive double-digit price surges less common. He estimates that market makers account for up to half of the $60 billion in net spot Bitcoin ETF inflows he analyzed, which do not necessarily represent a bet on Bitcoin's price rise. Thielen expects Bitcoin to rise quickly on news and then spend time crab walking across the chart before the next big macro event. He still forecasts Bitcoin reaching $90,000 by year-end, with a potential drop into the mid-to-high $70,000s first.
