Binance Blog published a new article, highlighting the successful recovery of $1.6 million from a $4.5 million kidnapping ransom by the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP), with significant support from Binance. This case underscores the effectiveness of public-private collaboration in tackling digital crime. The investigation utilized advanced blockchain transaction analysis to trace digital assets, leading to the identification of key suspects in this cross-border criminal operation. The incident began on October 13, when a 59-year-old businessman was abducted in Johor while waiting for a taxi to the airport. The kidnappers released the victim later that day after receiving a ransom payment from his family, which was partly in cash and partly in cryptocurrency. The RMP, in collaboration with regional law enforcement agencies and Binance’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), quickly mobilized to trace the ransom. Through sophisticated blockchain analysis, investigators were able to track the movement of digital assets, uncovering connections and revealing the criminal syndicate's network. ASP Nurul Aqila, a Senior Officer at the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) with expertise in cryptocurrency investigations, emphasized the crucial role Binance played in tracing cryptocurrency flows and identifying suspects across borders. Aqila noted that Binance's expertise in blockchain analysis was instrumental in pinpointing transactions and following the money trail, which was vital in apprehending suspects and recovering a significant portion of the ransom. This case highlights the power of cross-border cooperation in addressing emerging digital crime threats. The RMP reported that the recovered ransom included 1.95 million ringgit ($443,000) and one million Singapore dollars ($760,000) in cash, along with cryptocurrency valued at 1.75 million ringgit ($398,000). Additional evidence seized included a Pietro Beretta pistol, 250 rounds of live ammunition, and a pair of handcuffs. To date, 14 individuals have been detained, with their roles identified in areas such as kidnapping logistics, evidence disposal, and ransom management. Erin Fracolli, Binance’s Global Head of Investigations, stated that their team worked closely with the RMP to identify those involved. Fracolli emphasized that this case serves as a reminder of the potential misuse of cryptocurrency in crime and urged individuals and businesses to remain vigilant. Binance remains committed to collaborating with law enforcement and the private sector, leveraging its resources and expertise to assist in complex cases like this one. The successful recovery of the ransom marks a significant step forward in combating cryptocurrency-related crime, highlighting the importance of public-private partnerships in the digital age.

Hyla Fund Management 正在推出一只规模为 3000 万美元的新基金，专注于拉丁美洲加密货币领域。Hyla 代表客户投资其他对冲基金，管理着 1.15 亿美元的资产。 Hyla 首席执行官 Paola Origel 表示，拉丁美洲加密货币市场仍然很小，但充满了机遇。她表示，加密基金就像是传统投资者和加密生态之间的桥梁。加密领域是一个新兴领域，而且发展迅速，一些投资者根本没有时间、资源或专业知识来深入研究该行业并确定他们想要投资哪些加密对冲基金。这就是 Hyla 介入的地方。 Origel 说道：“基金中基金（fund of funds）的价值在于访问权，我们不分管辖范围，因此我们了解全球大多数基金经理，每个经理都有自己的策略。例如，一些基金完全致力于开发比特币 L2。” 她表示，Hyla 的目标是成为“数字资产领域的高盛”。该公司目前提供多种策略，包括其流动性风险投资基金以及比特币和以太坊市场中性收益策略。新的拉丁美洲基金计划于 2025 年 1 月推出，这将为 Hyla 的资产管理规模增加 3000 万美元。（CoinDesk）

According to Odaily, Neel Kashkari, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, has long been a vocal critic of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, labeling them as "worthless," "fraudulent," and "meaningless." However, Kashkari has recently indicated a shift in his perspective, stating that he is open to reconsidering his views. Despite this openness, he continues to question the significance of cryptocurrencies. Kashkari pointed out that the cryptocurrency industry has been around for a considerable time but has not achieved widespread adoption, suggesting a lack of practicality. He questioned the role of cryptocurrencies in the real economy, asking, "What actual function does it serve beyond being a speculative asset? It's been over a decade." His comments reflect ongoing skepticism about the practical applications of cryptocurrencies, despite their increasing presence in financial discussions. Bitcoin's white paper was released 16 years ago, marking the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Kashkari's evolving stance highlights the ongoing debate about the role and value of digital currencies in the global economy.
