💎 NOT A BOT 💎

[Marco Salzmann Ħ 🇩🇪🇻🇪 @MarcoSalzmann80]

🧵 Algorand just achieved another important regulatory milestone.

@AlgoFoundation has officially been added to Japan’s JVCEA Green List.

That may not sound exciting at first glance.

But in one of the world’s most regulated digital asset markets, it matters. 👇

The Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) operates under the oversight of Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA).

Its Green List includes digital assets that have already passed extensive regulatory review.

For exchanges, this significantly simplifies future listings.

Japan is not known for taking shortcuts when it comes to digital assets.

The country has spent years building one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks in the industry.

Being included on the JVCEA Green List is therefore more than a simple listing.

It is a regulatory milestone.

For @Algorand, this creates a clearer path to broader market access within Japan.

As digital assets continue to move closer to traditional finance, regulatory clarity becomes increasingly important for exchanges, institutions and investors alike.

This development also aligns with Algorand’s long-standing focus on institutional adoption.

Over the years, the network has positioned itself around compliance, tokenization, financial infrastructure and enterprise use cases.

The JVCEA approval fits naturally into that strategy.

The timing is interesting.

Japan is actively exploring how digital assets can be integrated into traditional financial markets.

Regulators are discussing tax reforms, updated classifications and broader participation from financial institutions.

Algorand is now part of that conversation.

While headlines often focus on short-term price movements, developments like this are about infrastructure and market access.

These are the foundations that institutions tend to pay attention to.

Congratulations to the entire @AlgoFoundation team and everyone who contributed to this achievement.

Regulatory progress rarely generates the loudest headlines, but it often lays the groundwork for long-term adoption.

Well done. 👏🇯🇵

$ALGO is quietly taking over in Germany and the proof just arrived from the German government itself.

The Federal Foreign Office piloted blockchain-based USDC aid payments to Damascus, Syria, using Algorand as the settlement layer.

This isn't a corporate demo. This is a national government using Algorand to deliver humanitarian aid in one of the most complex environments on earth.

And the results were remarkable.

-Up to 73% lower transaction costs.
-Payments processed 42 times faster.
-Full transparency across every step of the payment flow.
-Aid reaching people who need it, cheaper and faster than traditional systems could ever manage.

That alone would be significant. But it's part of a bigger pattern.

Germany is advancing real-world Algorand adoption across asset tokenization, digital securities, institutional finance, digital identity, payment innovation, and regulatory compliance.

All aligned with European regulations.

Here's what I want holders to feel.

The price action has been discouraging. I won't sugarcoat it. But a sovereign government doesn't choose a blockchain for humanitarian aid based on a price chart.

They choose it because it works. Because it's cheaper, faster, and more transparent than anything else available.

When a country like Germany uses $ALGO infrastructure to help people in crisis, that's the kind of real-world validation that outlasts any market cycle.

The enterprises and governments keep building while the price sleeps.

Adoption like this doesn't reverse. It compounds.

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST STORY IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!🤯

A man drained $110 MILLION from a crypto exchange in 20 minutes. Then used the stolen tokens to vote himself amnesty.

He beat every federal charge in court.

But still went to prison because of what the FBI found on his laptop.

In October 2022, Avraham Eisenberg identified a flaw in Mango Markets, a decentralized exchange on Solana. Not a code bug, an economic design flaw.

Here's what he did.

He deposited $5 million, split it across two wallets, used one wallet to sell 483 million futures contracts, used the other to buy them all. Both sides of the same trade. Zero market risk. Maximum leverage.

Then he went to the spot market.

He aggressively bought the MNGO token on three exchanges with such thin liquidity that his buying pressure pumped the price 1,300% in 20 minutes.

The price oracle fed that inflated price back to Mango Markets. The smart contract recalculated his portfolio value. Suddenly his position was worth hundreds of millions.

He borrowed $110 million in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins against the fake collateral, withdrew everything, then dumped his tokens and crashed the price back down.

The platform was instantly insolvent. Every user's funds were gone.

Then he went on Twitter, under his real name, and called it a "highly profitable trading strategy."

He said, "all of our actions were legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed."

The Mango DAO held a governance vote on whether to let him keep $47 million as a "bug bounty." It passed. 9.46% voted yes. 0.33% voted no.

Over half the yes votes came from just two developer wallets. And Eisenberg himself voted for his own amnesty using the tokens he had just stolen.

Then he fled to Israel.

The FBI found his search history: "Elements of fraud," "When market manipulation becomes a crime," "Statute of limitations market manipulation," "Extradition rules from Israel," "FBI surveillance."

He also used a fake Ukrainian identity to set up some of his trading accounts. So much for "transparent open market actions."

In December 2022, he flew to Puerto Rico. The FBI was waiting. Arrested at the airport. Laptop and phones seized.

In April 2024, a federal jury convicted him on every count. Commodities fraud. Market manipulation. Wire fraud. The first ever criminal conviction for open-market manipulation in crypto.

Then his lawyers filed a Rule 29 motion.

And the judge threw out everything.

The commodities charges, vacated. Wrong jurisdiction. Eisenberg was in Puerto Rico. The trades happened on Solana. The government's entire case for being in New York was that a third-party vendor had employees in Manhattan who monitored accounts. The judge said that's not enough.

The wire fraud charge, full acquittal. The judge ruled that Mango Markets had no terms of service, no rules, no prohibition against what he did. The smart contract executed exactly as coded. The oracle reported the real market price. And you can't commit fraud against a protocol that never told you what the rules were.

He beat the biggest crypto fraud case in history.

But here's the twist nobody saw coming.

When the FBI seized his devices at the airport, they were looking for evidence of market manipulation. Instead, they found child abuse material on his laptop.

The "plain view" doctrine. If agents executing a valid search warrant for one crime find evidence of another crime, it's fully admissible.

He pleaded guilty. 52 months in federal prison.

He outsmarted a $110 million exchange. Outsmarted the DOJ. Outsmarted the SEC. Outsmarted the CFTC.

But he couldn't outsmart the contents of his own hard drive.

The feds came for the $110 million. They stayed for what they found on the laptop.

Important clarification on asset inbox safety 🔐

Accepting or rejecting NFTs and tokens from your asset inbox in Pera is completely safe. This type of exploit can't occur from within the app itself.

The risk arises after leaving Pera: if you follow a link to a third-party website, connect your wallet, and sign a transaction there, that's where malicious activity can occur.

We're committed to adding more in-app safeguards to help detect and flag these risks earlier.

In the meantime, the strongest protection is staying informed: always review any transaction carefully before signing, regardless of where it originates.

Stay safe Algofam.

[The Daily Stack 🥞 @DailyStackHQ]

Someone built an algorithm to find inactive Bitcoin wallets, reported them to the NYPD as "lost property" - and is now suing to own them.

39,069 wallets. ~3.8M BTC. $286 billion.
No private keys. Just a court order.

The most audacious Bitcoin lawsuit in history.
