In a statement released on Tuesday, imprisoned Terra co-founder Do Kwon achieved a rare victory as the Montenegrin court overturned a lower court's decision to extradite him to the United States. The Balkan country's appellate court pointed out in the legal action that led to the extradition decision in February that "serious violations of the criminal procedure rules" had occurred. Last month, Kwon appealed the ruling that would have sent him to the United States to face fraud charges related to Terra's $60 billion loss in May 2022.

Bitcoin's market share once rose to 64.67%, but now fell back to 64.30%
On April 23rd, data, the Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) briefly rose to 64.67% this morning, reaching a new high since February 2021, and is currently back at 64.30%.

Do Kwon will go on trial in Manhattan on Monday
Terraform Labs and its founder Do Kwon will face trial in Manhattan on Monday, accused by regulators of lying to investors about the collapse of the company's two cryptocurrencies, LUNA and UST, which disrupted the market in 2022. Regulators also accuse them of falsely claiming that Terraform's blockchain was used for a popular mobile payment app in Korea. Do Kwon will not attend the trial.
