In a recent post, the team behind the Shibarium Network X handle&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/ShibariumNet/status/1826276696955478094" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared</a> its excitement about this special date and highlighted Shibarium's major achievements over the year of its existence.

<h2 dir="ltr" id="ex-binance-ceo-cz-facing-new-lawsuit">Ex-Binance CEO CZ facing new lawsuit</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As shared by legal expert Bill Hughes in his recent&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/BillHughesDC/status/1825899465837834373" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X post</a>, last Friday, Aug. 16, Binance crypto exchange and its former CEO Changpeng Zhao (also known as CZ)&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ex-binance-ceo-cz-facing-new-lawsuit-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">were sued</a> by class plaintiffs in a Seattle federal court. The class action lawsuit alleges consumer harm due to Binance's money-laundering activities, accusing the defendants of putting profits before the law since they allegedly generated substantial amounts of proceeds; this allowed bad actors to make their funds untraceable. According to plaintiffs' allegations, Binance served as a depository for illicit funds that were acquired by bad actors through ransomware, malware, theft and hacking. Hughes wrote that the goal of this class-action lawsuit is to "capitalize" on government government prosecutions and enforcement actions, adding that the plaintiffs' lawyers are well credentialed.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" id="58-million-xrp-in-13-hours-what-s-happening">58 million XRP in 13 hours - What's happening?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">According to data provided by Whale Alert crypto tracker, the market&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/58-million-xrp-in-13-hours-whats-happening" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">witnessed</a> two large lumps of XRP tokens moved to Binance and Bitstamp leading exchanges. A total of 33,000,000 XRP (worth $19,734,848) went to Binance, and 25,270,000 XRP (worth $15,191,832) entered one of Bitstamp's wallets. In total, these chunks constitute more than 58 million XRP; both of them were initiated by anonymous blockchain wallets. Many market watchers speculated on the goal of Binance's deposit, suggesting that this would be a sale made by an unknown crypto whale. However, per details revealed by Bithomp XRP-focused explorer, the Binance transaction was made internally. As for the deposit made to Bitstamp, it was conducted from a digital wallet associated with Ripple.</p>
