The halving event is closely watched by the crypto community as it often correlates with increased volatility in the Bitcoin market and may have implications for miners’ profitability and the overall security of the network. - The criminal sentencing of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, related to a money laundering rule charge, has been rescheduled to April 30. The delay provides additional time for legal proceedings and potentially indicates ongoing deliberations or negotiations between Zhao’s legal team and prosecutors.
