It was a momentous end to November 2023 as CryptoWatch looked back at blockchain and cryptocurrency events that unfolded this past month. The grand spectacle of the occasion revolved around Binance’s massive case involving its CEO, Changpeng Zhao, in connection with money laundering charges. Earlier that month, a court decisively ruled against Sam Bankman-Fried after a long criminal trial. Jack Dorsey’s blockchain-based social media Bluesky saw its user base blossom to upwards of two million. This game-changing chapter in blockchain history concluded with Binance acquiring a settlement amid extensive regulations coming from the US Department of Justice and the SEC. On November 21, Changpeng Zhao maintained his composure outside the district court in Seattle, Washington. There, Zhao had finally accepted a guilty verdict.
