Rise’n’Crypto SEC views Ether as a security, DOJ slammed in Tornado Cash case
Today’s episode contains some of the most important crypto stories, not just in the past 24 hours but in all of crypto history. This isn’t hyperbole — while Bitcoin is quiet, the U.S. Department of Justice is being slammed for its case against Tornado Cash and its founders. The U.S. SEC and its Chair Gary Gensler may have determined Ether is a security at least a year ago without making it public. And a North Korean hacking group has laundered over $200 million in stolen crypto since 2020, according to a 15-month investigation by ZachXBT.
