BlockBeats News, February 11th, according to Coindesk, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York sentenced former SafeMoon CEO Braden John Karony to 8 years in prison this Tuesday.Braden was convicted on multiple federal charges last year for defrauding investors in his digital asset business. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Karony participated in manipulating the price of the SafeMoon token and stole millions of dollars through illegal liquidity control of the company. After a three-week trial, he was found guilty of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.Co-conspirator Thomas Smith pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud in February 2025 and has not yet been sentenced. Another alleged co-conspirator in the SafeMoon fraud case, Kyle Nagy, is still being sought by authorities.It is reported that SafeMoon (SFM) is a cryptocurrency token launched in March 2021, emerging during the meme coin and DeFi frenzy of the previous bull market. Its tokenomics stipulates that each transaction incurs a 10% tax, with a portion (typically 5%) automatically distributed as dividends to all holders, another portion added to the liquidity pool, tokens burned to create deflation, and another portion used for project development. The design philosophy is to "encourage holding, penalize selling," allowing holders to earn tokens passively, hoping the token price can "safely go to the moon." Its market capitalization once soared to $1 billion, attracting a large number of retail investors and FOMO players. Subsequently, the project's contract vulnerability was hacked, and the team was accused of fraud, liquidity manipulation, and fund misappropriation. After a prolonged decline, its current market capitalization is only $2.08 million.

BlockBeats news, February 11, according to official sources, LayerZero announced the launch of the Layer 1 blockchain network Zero.It is reported that LayerZero positions Zero as a multi-core world computer, indicating that this network fundamentally changes the current blockchain paradigm limited by single-threaded, homogeneous architecture. By leveraging zero-knowledge proof technology, the Zero network can support two different categories of validators: lightweight block validators that can run on low-end consumer-grade hardware, and optional high-performance block producers.By addressing four major bottlenecks, the system has achieved a practical scaling roadmap of 2 million transactions per second per Zone. The solutions include QMDB for state storage, FAFO for parallel computation scheduling, Jolt Pro for real-time zero-knowledge proof generation, and SVID for high-throughput networking.

BlockBeats news, February 10, as Bitcoin and U.S. stocks rebounded, ETH price recovered above $2,100. Previously, ETH had plunged 43% within 9 days, hitting a low of $1,750, followed by a technical rebound of about 22%. However, multiple data points indicate that the market remains cautious about ETH's short-term trend.In the derivatives market, ETH's two-month futures annualized premium is only about 3%, below the neutral level of 5%, indicating insufficient trader risk appetite, with shorts still dominating. Even as prices rebounded, derivatives sentiment has not significantly improved over the past month.From an on-chain and fundamental perspective, ETH has underperformed the overall crypto market by about 9% since 2026, raising questions about capital flows. However, in terms of TVL and fee revenue, Ethereum still maintains an absolute lead: its mainnet accounts for 58% of the industry's TVL, and when combined with Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, the share exceeds 65%.But issues are also prominent. Due to slowing on-chain activity, Ethereum has failed to maintain deflation, with ETH's annualized supply growth rate rising to 0.8% over the past 30 days, significantly higher than the near 0% level a year ago. Meanwhile, concerns around Layer2 subsidies and security continue to escalate. Vitalik Buterin recently stated directly that mainnet scaling should be re-emphasized, acknowledging that some current L2 solutions still fall short in decentralization and security.Analysis suggests that amid rising uncertainty in the U.S. job market and doubts about the sustainability of AI infrastructure investments, overall risk appetite remains weak. The sluggishness in the derivatives market reflects investors' lack of confidence in ETH forming a sustainable reversal in the short term, and whether a phased bottom has been confirmed still requires more time and data for validation.

PANews reported on February 10th, citing Bloomberg, that payment giant Stripe Inc. is preparing a tender offer that would value the company at least $140 billion, more than $30 billion higher than its valuation of approximately $107 billion last year. Sources familiar with the matter indicated that the terms of the offer are still subject to change. Stripe declined to comment. Since 2024, the company has frequently made tender offers to allow employees to sell their shares without the company going public. This transaction suggests that Stripe may continue to postpone its IPO. In January, co-founder and president John Collison stated that he was happy to remain private and was "still in no hurry to go public." Also in January, Stripe laid off approximately 300 employees, about 3.5% of its workforce, which the company described as part of restructuring, and stated that it still plans to continue hiring and expanding its workforce.
