Highlighting what went right, and what went wrong, in this week’s crypto news analysis.
It wasn’t a good week for Mark Karpeles. The former CEO of Mt Gox exchange is facing a ten year prison sentence for embezzlement. He’s being held in Japan on bail as the trial continues.
Electronics giant Samsung has refuted rumours that its next flagship mobile device (the Note 10) will include native support for cryptocurrencies, despite having filed at least three patent applications that would suggest otherwise.
On a more positive innovation note, Binance Labs has announced the first batch of projects from its tech incubator have gone live. The exchange took in applications from over 500 startups, but chose just eight to give $500k in seed funding to. These projects then got mentorship and guidance through a ten week program.
