| 📈 30 Second Cryptocurrency Price Summary | Current Bitcoin Price: $16,963 | Bitcoin price has started the day in exactly the same place as yesterday, as it appears to be glued to the high end of the $16,000s. | Top-20 altcoins are also trading flat, as Ethereum gains just 1%, BNB remains unchanged and Polkadot is the largest mover with just a 4% rise. | Top Stories for December 2, 2022 🔥 | | The Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated that an independent review is necessary in the bankruptcy case of FTX due to allegations of fraud and dishonesty. | Andrew Vara, the U.S. bankruptcy trustee for the case, has said that Sam Bankman-Fried and his team may have mismanaged the company or potentially engaged in fraudulent conduct. | The DOJ is therefore looking to appoint an independent examiner to investigate the events leading up to FTX's downfall. | | Apple has disabled the Coinbase Wallet iOS app after a feature allowing the sending of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) was introduced, according to the exchange. | The tech giant said it wanted gas fees paid through its in-app purchasing system so it could collect 30% of the fee, which Coinbase said was not possible, since Apple's system doesn't support cryptocurrency. | Dan Finlay, a MetaMask developer and former Apple software engineer, called Apple's decision an abuse of its monopoly. | | Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Ankr said it will reimburse the users impacted by the $5 million exploit that occurred on its platform earlier Friday. | The attacker exploited a weakness in the code of Ankr, allowing them to mint 6 quadrillion aBNBc tokens. They were then able to convert these tokens into approximately 5 million USDC. | Ankr stated that it would take a snapshot of the situation and reissue ankrBNB to all valid aBNBc holders. The ankrBNB token will continue to be redeemable, but aBNBc and aBNBb will no longer be redeemable. |
