Binance, the global crypto behemoth, stands accused of destabilizing Nigeria’s currency, a charge that has led to the arrest of several executives in 2024. Yet, the company remains as silent as a monk in meditation, all while engaging in backroom negotiations with the FIRS. Meanwhile, Binance’s lawyer, Chukwuka Ikwuazom, has taken the stage to argue that the court’s decision to serve legal papers outside Nigeria was as misguided as a blindfolded archer. 🎯

Lyzi, a new-gen blockchain firm—because old-gen blockchain firms are, like, totally obsolete—focused on enhancing crypto-to-fiat payments infrastructure at a global scale, shared the details of its latest funding campaign. A total of €1.3 million was raised in seed funding from a clutch of high-reputed VCs, the team’s statement says. One point three million! That’s, like, a lot of cups of coffee. ☕

The U.S.-led trade dispute has reached a crescendo, with South Korea now staring down the barrel of a 25% tariff on its goods. This, naturally, is a delightful development for an export-driven economy. Major players like Samsung, LG, and Hyundai—beloved by Americans for their gadgets and cars—are now bracing for a cost surge. Because who doesn’t love paying more for their K-pop-inspired smartphones? 📱

In the rough, sunbaked corridors of international trade, the drama unfolded like a Steinbeck parable. Trump, with the bluster of a tired gunslinger, had recently slung a 34% tariff on most Chinese imports—a decree that echoed like a curse down the dusty streets. 😜

Yet, lo and behold! ETH has managed to claw its way back above $1,570—an increase of over 4% in the last 24 hours, as reported by the ever-watchful CoinMarketCap. But, dear reader, the outlook remains as shaky as a tightrope walker in a windstorm.

During a delightful fireside chat at Paris Blockchain Week (yes, a fireside chat… in Paris, how utterly charming), Disparte shared his musings with TRM Labs’ Global Head of Policy, Ari Redbord, on April 8.
