Feeling a bit of hope on stuff like atom and eth. Even btc and link too. Gotta see how early afternoon treats us, or even how well we look at the top of the hour first. If things go well the rest of the day, can at least ease some of the pain from the market. Even just stabilizing would be helpful.

Florida woman pleads guilty to Bitcoin murder-for-hire plot
DeAnna Marie Stinson, 50, allegedly paid more than $12,000 in a Bitcoin-for-blood plot

A Florida woman pleaded guilty to attempting to hire a hitman over the Dark Web to kill her ex-boyfriend’s spouse, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.

DeAnna Marie Stinson, 50, allegedly paid more than $12,000 in a Bitcoin-for-blood plot to an unnamed website, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.

In an online "order" placed in late June, Stinson allegedly sent in the victim’s name and address and photograph along with the following, ominous note:

"Do not do at home. Any place else is fine. Need completed during July – preferably, between July 5th – 11th."

MICHIGAN WOMAN SENTENCED AFTER TRYING TO HIRE HITMAN FOR HUSBAND ONLINE

She was looking for a "quick hit in southern Florida," according to the order.

In a follow-up "order," she added, "Bonus if completed by July 31st." She placed five "orders" altogether, according to court documents.

When July 31 came, she circled back with site administrators asking them to "reassign the job to someone who has a history of getting jobs done," the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

She wanted it "done ASAP."

Investigators said they followed a digital trail showing Stinson had paid the site in Bitcoin, and then an undercover agent contacted her over WhatsApp posing as a hitman.

The agent sent her a mock surveillance photo of her intended victim, and prosecutors say she "confirmed it was the same person she wanted to have killed."

But the website was not offering real services.

In a phone call, which the undercover investigator recorded, Stinson reiterated her intent and agreed to send another $350 in Bitcoin that she believed would cover the cost of a revolver that would be used in the assassination, according to the documents.

The FBI served a search warrant on her home in Tampa and seized three computers and an iPhone.

On the phone, they found her Coinbase account showing Bitcoin transactions involving the website and the WhatsApp conversation with the undercover agent, as well as other evidence, according to prosecutors.

The Justice Department announced charges in September.

Stinson faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison. Her sentencing date has not yet been set.

The guilty plea comes days after a Michigan woman was sentenced to seven to 20 years in prison for trying to hire an assassin to kill her ex-husband through a website called "RentAHitman.com."

That site, found on the normal web, was also fake. And its operator has been forwarding requests to authorities for years.

When he received a solicitation from South Rockford resident Wendy Lynn Wein, he showed it to state police instead of hired killers.

Grayscale Adds Flexa’s AMP to DeFi Fund, Removes BNT, UMA in Quarterly Rebalancing
January 3, 2022

c1f5d405806f6ca07ef82780ab5979b1

Grayscale Investments, which runs the Grayscale DeFi Fund and Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, announced in a release on Monday updated fund component weightings for each product in connection with the funds’ quarterly reviews.

Rebalancing of the Grayscale DeFi Fund followed quarterly reconstitution of the CoinDesk DeFi Index (DFX), which the fund tracks.

  • New York-based Grayscale is owned by Digital Currency Group, the parent company of CoinDesk.

  • CoinDesk Indices launched the CoinDesk DeFi Index (DFX) in July. At the same time, Grayscale announced the Grayscale DeFi Fund. The DFX output is available live on tradeblock.com, the website of CoinDesk Indices’ wholly owned index calculation agent.

  • Quarterly reconstitution of the DFX resulted in the removal of two cryptocurrencies and the addition of one. Universal market access (UMA) and bancor (BNT) were removed from the index, and Flexa’s amp (AMP) was added. The DFX is a market-cap-weighted basket of cryptocurrencies, representative of the DeFi (decentralized finance) category, as defined in the CoinDesk Indices Digital Asset Classification Standard.

  • In accordance with the CoinDesk DeFi Index reconstitution, Grayscale adjusted the DeFi Fund’s portfolio by selling certain amounts of the existing fund components in proportion to their weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase amp (AMP).

  • As a result of the rebalancing, bancor (BNT) and universal market access (UMA) have been removed from the DeFi Fund.

  • AMP is the native token of the Flexa network, a payment network that enables crypto-collateralized payments at physical stores and online.

  • Flexa uses the AMP token to collateralize digital asset payments while they are confirmed on their blockchains and settles the payments in fiat to the recipient.

  • By enabling payments through the Flexa network, supporting merchants can more easily and confidently accept payment in BTC, ETH and other digital assets. The Flexa network is one of a number of projects intended to accelerate the development of the blockchain into a mature peer-to-peer money system, according to Grayscale.
DeFi Fund’s components as of Monday:

At the end of the day on Monday, the DeFi Fund’s Fund Components were a basket of the following assets and weightings.

  • Uniswap (UNI), 42.33%

  • Aave (AAVE), 13.06%

  • Curve (CRV), 10.63%

  • MakerDAO (MKR), 8.99%

  • Amp (AMP), 7.39%

  • Yearn Finance (YFI), 6.34%

  • Compound (COMP), 5.02%

  • Synthetix (SNX), 3.15%

  • SushiSwap (SUSHI), 3.09%
No new tokens were added or removed from Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund. This announcement follows the October news that Grayscale adjusted the Digital Large Cap Fund’s portfolio and added solana (SOL) and uniswap (UNI).

At the end of the day on Monday, the Digital Large Cap Fund’s components were a basket of the following assets and weightings:

  • Bitcoin (BTC), 60.50%

  • Ethereum (ETH), 30.13%

  • Solana (SOL), 3.56%

  • Cardano (ADA), 3.05%

  • Uniswap (UNI), 0.77%

  • Chainlink (LINK), 0.71%

  • Litecoin (LTC), 0.69%

  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH), 0.59%
Neither the DeFi Fund nor the Digital Large Cap Fund generates any income, and both regularly distribute fund components to pay for expenses. Therefore, the amount of fund components represented by shares of each fund gradually decreases over time.

Note: This article was updated to clarify the relationship between the CoinDesk DeFi Index (DFX) and the Grayscale DeFi Fund.
