Happy Wednesday! In today's Daily, HBO's documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin BTC -0.94% Mystery" suggests Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto, VanEck enters the crypto VC space, the U.S. govt. says Bitfinex could be the sole victim in its 2016 hack and more.

Meanwhile, the former FTX executive Ryan Salame again asks to push back his prison time to get medical treatment following a dog attack over the summer.

Let's get started.

Tuesday night's HBO documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" suggested early Bitcoin developer Peter Todd is its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Global asset manager VanEck, with more than $118 billion in AUM, has launched a new venture capital unit, VanEck Ventures, led by two former Circle Ventures leaders, Wyatt Lonergan and Juan Lopez.

The U.S. government said Bitfinex might be the sole victim of its 2016 hack involving Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, aka "Razzlekhan," according to a recent court filing.

Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of FTX-connected trading firm Alameda Research, has agreed to turn over "substantially all" of her remaining assets to debtors to settle a lawsuit filed by the FTX estate, except for those already forfeited to the government or used to pay legal fees.

Matt Hougan, CIO at crypto asset manager Bitwise, said that anything but a Democratic sweep in the U.S. elections, further Fed rate cuts and no major crypto hacks or lawsuit surprises could drive a bitcoin "melt-up" to new all-time highs of more than $80,000 this quarter.
