Hundreds of investors asked a federal judge to impose a life sentence on Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky for his role in the crypto lender’s 2022 collapse. Celsius Network investors are calling for a life sentence for co-founder and former chief executive Alex Mashinsky, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges after the crypto lender collapsed in 2022. In a court filing this week, prosecutors submitted more than 200 victim impact statements ahead of Mashinsky’s May 8 sentencing, Bloomberg has learned, adding that most urged the court to impose the harshest sentence allowed by law. “The very essence of cryptocurrency, along with my ambitions and dreams, has been tarnished. I’m saddled with a mountain of debt and disgrace. The prospects I once envisioned are now unattainable, all due to Alex Mashinsky and his ill-timed bankruptcy filing.” Brandon Lawrence, a Celsius investor who says he lost about 1.5 BTC You might also like:Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky loses bid to dismiss charges Still, some victims asked for a more lenient sentence. For instance, retired teacher Stephen Levenberg, who lost nearly $400,000 after putting his retirement savings into Celsius, said he would accept a three-year sentence if Mashinsky returned the stolen funds. Mashinsky’s lawyers are asking for a sentence of no more than one year. Probation officers have recommended 15 years, while prosecutors haven’t yet made a final recommendation. Celsius froze the withdrawal of client assets in June 2022. A month later, the company went bankrupt. The crypto lender said it had only $167 million left in its accounts to repat its hands and froze all customer withdrawals to give time to seek more funds. According to reports, Mashinsky and his wife withdrew an estimated $12 million in crypto from the Celsius Network before the bankruptcy proceedings began. Celsius, launched in 2018, grew to 200 employees and managed around $10 billion in crypto assets by 2021. Read more:Celsius files new appeal against Judge order denying $444m claim on FTX damages

ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has raised its long-term Bitcoin price forecast, predicting the asset could reach up to $2.4 million by 2030. In its Apr. 24 report, ARK outlines three potential scenarios for Bitcoin’s (BTC) price by the end of the decade. The bearish case places Bitcoin at $300,000, the base case at $710,000, and the bullish scenario sees the price climbing above $1.5 million. In an even more optimistic projection, which adjusts for dormant and lost supply, Bitcoin could reach $2.4 million if its on-chain financial services grow at a 60% annual rate. ARK’s valuation model is based on the total amount of capital accrued by the end of the decade from six key sources. These include national reserves, corporate treasuries, digital gold positioning, institutional investment, adoption in emerging markets, and Bitcoin-driven financial services. With the potential to contribute more than 43% of the anticipated value, institutional investment is the main factor in the bullish scenario. This assumes Bitcoin captures 6.5% of the global $200 trillion investable asset pool, excluding gold. You might also like:Ark Invest: Bitcoin’s volatility is at its historical lowest. What does it indicate? Emerging market adoption is another important factor. Based on a $68 trillion global monetary base, even a small 2.5% adoption rate would support the $710,000 estimate in ARK’s base case. Government and business contributions are lower, but they may increase as adoption rises.  The smallest contributor, but also the most volatile, is Bitcoin’s on-chain financial infrastructure, which includes layer-2s and tokenized BTC. Its 2024 total addressable market was $35 billion, and its projected compound annual growth rates range from 20% (bear) to 60% (bull), which could add significantly to future valuations if realized. The investment firm has been one of Bitcoin’s most vocal supporters in traditional finance. ARK was among the first companies in the U.S. to launch a spot Bitcoin exchange traded fund in partnership with 21Shares. Even though Bitcoin is still seen as a highly volatile asset by some skeptics, ARK argues that its long-term upside and global relevance make the bullish case worth considering.

TreasureDAO will shut down its ZKsync-based Treasure Chain on May 30, nearly five months after announcing urgent cost-cutting measures and securing temporary emergency powers. TreasureDAO is pulling the plug on Treasure Chain, its own network built on ZKsync’s layer-2 scaling solution, by May 30 after TIP-52 passed, giving the core team emergency powers to handle the shutdown without stopping for more votes. Treasure Chain Wind-Down⛓️🌇Following the successful ratification of TIP-52, the Treasure Chain will shut down on May 30, 2025. Holders must bridge out all ETH, MAGIC, SMOL, and NFT holdings by the end of May.Additional updates, timelines, and next steps are outlined below👇— Treasure (@Treasure_DAO) May 6, 2025 In an X thread on May 6, the TreasureDAO team urged users to bridge out all their assets as well as non-fungible tokens by the end of May. The wind-down is part of a broader pivot to reduce costs and focus on product development. “Bridging to Treasure Chain has been discontinued,” the team said, noting that “MAGIC-ETH has been migrated to L1 Ethereum and is now tradable on Uniswap,” while “SMOL-MAGIC liquidity migration to L1 is underway.” Despite shutting down the chain, the team reassured it’s in a strong position to continue its operations as its USDC runway “extended through Fall 2026.” “Treasure is in a strong position, with our USDC runway extended through Fall 2026 — excluding a recovering MAGIC treasury. The Treasure Chain wind-down will accelerate our product development and reduce operational costs, positioning us for the next stage of growth.” TreasureDAO Even with the mainnet shutting down, the team framed the decision not as giving up, but as “a positive move for the org.” The team also added that “retiring the chain is presented as a necessity, not a choice.” You might also like:ZKSync recovers funds stolen in $5M exploit after hacker claims bounty Still, the shutdown comes with hard financial truths. In internal updates, co-founder John Patten pointed out the DAO’s burn rate had become unsustainable, with its runway potentially drying up by late 2025. Keeping Treasure Chain running cost about $450,000 a year — money the treasury could no longer justify, especially with ZKsync grants unlocking slowly over time. To ease the transition, the proposal lets the team manage around 3.18 million MAGIC and 138 ETH in DAO-owned liquidity. As TreasureDAO put it, the shutdown is an “emergency measure reflecting the current extraordinary circumstances, not a permanent change to DAO governance principles.” Treasure was among early builders on Arbitrum before launching its own chain on ZKsync. At its peak, it even accounted for more than 95% of all gaming and NFT transactions on Arbitrum and has generated over $260 million in marketplace volume since launch, according to data from Nansen.
