Crypto is always decentralized.

Unregulated banks taking crypto as deposits are just that, unregulated banks, not crypto.

Judge rules $4.2B belongs to Celsius

Judge Martin Glenn ruled that the funds deposited in Earn Accounts belong to Celsius

Insanity. Your keys, your crypto. A reminder to self-custody and not trust any CEX/CeFi.

Value held by an institution, with very few exceptions belongs to that institution. Normal people are considered "unsecured creditors". This includes money in a bank btw. Celsius ruling would basically constitute a bail-in, where secured creditors get first dibs on the assets.

Fun fact, post Dodd-Frank regulations after 2008 financial crisis, bail-ins are the defacto solution to insolvency. FDIC barely covers 1% of all insured assets. Not your keys not your coins applies to more than just crypto.

High risk but apparently the market has decided that Greyscale is not going to go broke so ETHE is quickly recovering to around where it should be in relation to actual ETH prices. It should hit 8 or 9 within a week.

This is good news, I just moved my ETHE to cold storage and it wasn't very fun to look at my balance at that time.
