The crypto stash follows multiple seizures by law enforcement officials investigating drug-related crimes. Two Finland-based virtual asset service providers have been chosen to serve as brokers to ensure Ukraine receives the funds. They’ll be tasked with selling off the Bitcoin so it can be transferred. Finland’s Finance Minister, Annika Saarikko, described the decision as “right, important and good.” She added: “It is the currency confiscated from the wrongdoers, which is now getting the wings of goodness.”

The Ronin Network is vowing to beef up security after being the victim to the largest crypto hack on record. Ether and USDC worth $625 million were stolen in the daring hack against the blockchain, which powers the popular play-to-earn game Axie Infinity. Developers say the network will be protected by 21 verified nodes within three months — with a longer-term goal of having over 100. There will also be Bug bounties of up to $1 million to incentivize white hat hackers to detect security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors. Players have been warned that the Ronin bridge may not reopen until late May.

The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
