Meanwhile, Grayscale’s Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), GBTC, experienced significant outflows, totalling nearly $359 million on March 21, amid speculation that the exodus could soon subside, largely attributed to bankruptcies of crypto firms.

A severe vulnerability in Apple’s M-series chips has been uncovered by researchers, posing a threat to the security of MacBook devices by potentially allowing unauthorised access to encrypted data due to a side channel exploit deeply embedded in the chip’s design.

Meanwhile, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has endorsed a unified ledger payment model, aiming to leverage tokenisation and shared ledger technology to streamline international payments. SWIFT’s proposal highlights the potential of common infrastructure to provide real-time balance information across participants while acknowledging the importance of a messaging layer for data transfer. In another development, defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX is set to offload its stake in artificial intelligence firm Anthropic worth around $1 billion to pay off bankruptcy debts, with Saudi Arabia reportedly excluded from contention over national security concerns. This move comes ahead of FTX boss Sam Bankman-Fried’s sentencing hearing, following his conviction on seven fraud counts in November 2023, described as one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history.
