Cohen-Pavon pleaded guilty in September 2023 to charges of fraud and conspiracy to manipulate the price related to Celsius's CEL token, and is scheduled to be sentenced this Thursday. Cohen-Pavon's lawyer previously requested a sentence of time served, citing his cooperation agreement with the government and his potential role in the guilty plea of former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky.Mashinsky was sentenced to 12 years in prison in May 2025 for commodity and securities fraud and agreed to forfeit over $48 million. In a letter to the judge, Cohen-Pavon stated, "I plead guilty because I am guilty. I participated in the manipulation of the CEL token. I should have stopped it but did not, I could have left but did not. I take full responsibility for this."Additionally, on Thursday, Judge Lewis Kaplan of the same court ordered that $10 million in assets associated with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried be used to fulfill his forfeiture agreement.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated on social media, "The war is confirmed to be over, there is no insider information, and neither side has a reason to continue fighting. We will take profits wherever the rebound stops and observe as we go.This year's cryptocurrency market is very similar to 2019, with a cliff-like drop in secondary liquidity, almost no confidence in primary investments, and Web3 companies laying off large numbers of employees, with industry personnel switching careers. Be greedy when others are fearful; this year is definitely the best time for secondary bottom-fishing and primary investment, similar to 2019. Institutions that bottomed out in the secondary market and invested in the primary market in 2019 were the biggest winners in the 2020 bull market, and we are working hard to do these two things well."

According to Bloomberg, after gold prices experienced the largest sell-off in years, bargain buyers have started to enter the gold market. As of Thursday's close, gold prices had fallen 19% from the closing peak in January, approaching the 20% threshold that traditionally marks the beginning of a bear market. However, by Friday, buyers re-entered the market, pushing gold prices up by about 3%.George Efstathopoulos, a fund manager at Fidelity International, stated that this pullback presents a buying opportunity once tensions in the Middle East subside. Inflation risks, fiscal pressures, and bond credit issues remain structural positives for gold. Analysts also pointed out that the Iran conflict could trigger central banks to sell gold, or at least slow down their purchasing pace. Daniel Ghali, a commodity strategist at TD Securities, believes that given that central banks have been cornerstone buyers in this bull market, large-scale direct selling would have a more immediate impact on prices and a more destructive effect on market sentiment. However, for now, the broader trend may be a gradual slowing of central bank gold purchases rather than a complete shift to selling.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated: "In the short term, the war will not end, and the market is waiting for further clarity on the war. However, there will definitely be a great bottom-fishing opportunity this year, so prepare as much capital as possible before that. Aside from the crypto industry, I have been working hard to learn AI recently and have been deeply shocked, especially by the efficiency of commanding AI to work. This is not just a simple improvement in efficiency; it is a direct leap from the era of horse-drawn carriages to the era of airplanes.I require all companies I invest in to immediately learn to use A and embrace AI. In the future, companies that do not use AI will be eliminated. Today, because of AI, all companies and individuals are basically starting from the same starting line. Another great wave is coming, and my requirement for myself this year is to spend half of my time working in collaboration with AI."

Brazilian President Lula has signed Law No. 15,358, which explicitly incorporates seized cryptocurrency assets during law enforcement into the public safety funding system for expenditures such as police equipment, intelligence operations, and personnel training.The law allows for the temporary use of relevant cryptocurrency assets prior to final conviction with court approval. The new regulations also significantly expand the powers of judicial authorities, allowing them to freeze, block, or confiscate cryptocurrency assets during the investigation phase, including restricting access to exchange accounts, digital wallets, and related platforms. Once convicted, the individuals involved will be permanently deprived of the ability to use the formal financial system and cryptocurrency systems. Additionally, the law categorizes the use of encrypted communication tools or privacy technologies to conceal criminal activities as an aggravating circumstance, promotes cross-border asset recovery and intelligence sharing, and establishes a national database to integrate the financial structures of criminal organizations. Analysts believe that this initiative marks Brazil's shift of cryptocurrency assets from potential reserve tools to law enforcement resources, strengthening the crackdown on organized crime (such as PCC and Comando Vermelho) while advancing the judicial system's regulatory and disposal capabilities regarding digital assets.

Digital asset insurance provider Soter Insure announced the launch of Ethereum-denominated slashing insurance. This innovative insurance product was developed in collaboration with Galaxy Digital and provides critical security for Ethereum validators and institutional stakers. It addresses the core risk of slashed assets due to protocol violations by validators in Ethereum staking, with both premiums and claims denominated and settled in ETH. This solves the problem of insufficient coverage in traditional USD-denominated insurance when ETH prices rise, thereby eliminating the "currency mismatch risk."

According to Decrypt, federal prosecutors in Massachusetts have filed a civil forfeiture lawsuit seeking to seize approximately $3.4 million in USDT, alleging it is the proceeds of cryptocurrency investment fraud and money laundering.Prosecutors state that victims have been approached since the end of 2024 through methods such as "wrong text messages." After establishing relationships via WhatsApp, Telegram, and other platforms, they were guided to invest in an exclusive Ethereum project purportedly backed by physical gold. In practice, victims were instructed to transfer ETH to an intermediary wallet, which was then converted to USDT and transferred to a non-custodial wallet to conceal the source and ownership of the funds.
