• 00:00:00 The top stories in crypto news this week include Ftx contagion continuing concerns about the largest holder of BTC, ADA updates, and the crypto market collapsing. However, there are also some positive news items, such as Cardano making massive announcements including a new stablecoin and a privacy preserving blockchain.

• 00:05:00 In the video, Crypto News reporter Stefan Thomas covers the latest FTX updates, GBTC contagion, ADA, SOL & more. He also mentions the lawsuit GREYSCALE is currently filing with the SEC, if anything goes wrong with GREYSCALE's Bitcoin trust. If this happens, it could make the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF by the SEC even less likely. Additionally, the collapse of FTX is resulting in extreme regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrency exchanges. However, there is no evidence that GREYSCALE is in trouble at least not yet. You can learn more about GREYSCALE's Bitcoin trust and how it's different from a spot Bitcoin ETF using the link in the description. Lastly, Stefan mentions that many crypto projects have also been taking a beating and most of these are part of SOLANA's ecosystem. This is to be expected, given that SOLANA's growth was being driven by FTX and Alameda.
