&nbsp;According to Kraken, the largest marketing campaign to date has been launched in the United States and the United Kingdom, focusing on the transformative aspects of cryptocurrency rather than the get-rich-quick information of the last bull market. The company's new campaign also takes an explicit educational approach, hoping to make people more comfortable with cryptocurrency. Kraken pointed out in a blog post that "51% of people... have not bought any bitcoin because they do not know enough about it." Although Kraken has advertised in the past, including a Formula One partnership, Kraken's Chief Marketing Officer Mayur Gupta said the exchange has never executed such a large-scale direct-to-consumer marketing strategy. Gupta said the campaign will initially launch in the United States and the United Kingdom and is planned to expand globally next year. <br>

Elliptic, a research firm, has traced stolen assets worth $400 million from the now-defunct FTX crypto exchange to Russia-based cybercriminal groups. The attackers used RenBridge to move 65,000 ETH to the Bitcoin blockchain and employed a blockchain-based tool called a mixer to cover their tracks. However, at least $4 million of these assets made their way to various exchanges, hinting at a possible cash-out attempt. Elliptic's analysis suggests a Russian connection, as a significant portion of the stolen assets merged with funds linked to Russian criminal syndicates.
