FTX customers will testify that they were aware of these statements made at Bankman-Fried's direction, the document said, and they relied in part on them to trade on FTX or keep their funds on the platform. "The defendant&rsquo;s arguments that these statements are not relevant or otherwise inadmissible because they purportedly relate only to FTX.US are flatly inconsistent with the statements themselves," the attorney concluded.</li><li>Cryptocurrency should be treated as property in <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/chinas-central-bank-official-stresses-use-of-digital-yuan-retail-sectors.htm">China</a>, and the ownership of it should be protected by law, a court in the southeastern city of Xiamen wrote - despite recent government policies that have sought to crack down on activities related to digital assets. <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/policy/article/3233261/local-chinese-court-argues-cryptocurrency-property-despite-beijings-crackdown">According</a> to The South China Morning Post, the court argued that cryptocurrency is property because it has &ldquo;economic attributes,&rdquo; including usefulness and exchange value, which &ldquo;exists objectively&rdquo; as it circulates legally in overseas markets. A crypto owner&rsquo;s property rights should be protected except when the asset is used to commit crimes or was acquired through a crime, it said.</li></ul><h2 id="regulation-news">Regulation news</h2><ul><li><a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/south-korean-prosecutors-seek-arrest-warrants-for-golf-star-bithumb-exec.htm">South Korean</a> government is reportedly planning to submit a bill that will track and freeze <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/north-koreas-lazarus-group-suspected-37-million-hack-coinspaid.htm">North Korean</a> digital assets utilized to fund illicit weapons programs. <a href="https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2023-09-04/national/northKorea/South-seeks-to-track-and-freeze-Norths-crypto-assets/1861813">According</a> to the Korea JoongAng Daily, citing government sources, the revised bill results from 10 months of consultations between different South Korean government ministries to add to the South&rsquo;s existing sanctions against the North.
