Problems in the crypto world, a big new online series and the Global Poker Awards announcement
While the major festival schedule is on pause, this week the spotlight was on some loud events in the crypto market.
🟣Crypto exchange HTX is leaving the Russian market
Users of the platform from Russia started receiving messages recommending that they withdraw their funds. At the same time, the company isn't saying whether it will stop serving Russians entirely. KuCoin has joined this unpleasant trend as well.
🟡 Hackers withdrew $6 billion from Binance
Binance, meanwhile, ran into huge problems at the end of the week. Hackers breached several of the exchange's hot wallets and withdrew $6.3 billion. The attack is being linked to the North Korean group Lazarus, and Binance has already recovered most of the affected assets.
🟣 CoinPoker is launching a new year-long series together with the PokerGO Tour
PGT Online starts on November 8 and will run for exactly one year. The series will feature six stages, and the top 50 players will receive packages to a private freeroll in Las Vegas with a $1 million top prize.
🟡Smart glasses now give poker prompts
True, so far only one student from California has such a pair — he adapted Meta Ray Bans 3 to get pot odds. And, according to their creator, they also help analyze opponents' emotions.
🟣RomeOpro has broken $500,000
Roman Romanovsky played October at a solid profit, and now his profit exceeds $500,000. However, the marathon's goal is still only a few percent complete.
🟡 The Global Poker Awards ceremony has been announced
Global Poker Index and The Hendon Mob have decided to hold the poker players' awards at the start of the WSOP Paradise series. Eleven nominations have been announced, and voting for the most entertaining player is already underway. Among the contenders for the award are Hellmuth, Negreanu, Mizrachi and other stars.
