PANews reported on February 25 that, according to The Block, Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, pointed out that Bitfinex's LEO token is currently trading at a premium of about 60% over its implied fair value, which may indicate that the market expects new progress in the handling of the Bitcoins seized during the 2016 Bitfinex hack.

Currently, approximately 94,636 bitcoins related to this incident remain frozen, representing about 30% of the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and are undergoing legal proceedings to determine victims' claims. According to Bitfinex's 2019 commitment, if the assets are recovered, 80% will be used to buy back and burn LEO tokens. Analysts believe that if the court rules to return the bitcoins to the victims rather than have them confiscated by the government, approximately 75,000 bitcoins could gradually enter the market over 18 months, with an average daily sell-off of about 139 bitcoins.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family.
