first_img Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison joins the nonprofit charity organization Manifund

Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison has joined the nonprofit organization Manifund. Manifund co-founder Austin Chen stated that Ellison will be responsible for developing the organization’s donation platform and enhancing its charitable work. Ellison has been on a trial basis at the organization since July, transitioned to full-time in August, and has been posting work updates under the alias "Carol."Ellison pleaded guilty in December 2022 to fraud and conspiracy charges related to the collapse of the FTX exchange in 2022, which resulted in billions of dollars in customer losses. She cooperated with prosecutors and testified against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Ellison is set to begin serving a two-year sentence in November 2024 and will be released early in January 2026 for cooperating with the investigation.Chen stated in a post, "I believe in redemption. Caroline has acknowledged her mistakes, is working to repay creditors, and has served time in prison. I hope the world can recognize that too." Ellison expressed excitement about her new position, apologized for her past actions, and thanked Austin for giving her a second chance, stating that he judges her based on her current work performance rather than her past. According to its website, Manifund focuses on artificial intelligence safety and effective altruism projects.

first_img Maharashtra, the richest state in India, plans to tokenize its electricity assets for financing

The wealthiest state in India, Maharashtra, is formulating policies to tokenize state government assets (including power transmission infrastructure), with the funds raised to be used for constructing new transmission lines and energy storage facilities. The Chief Minister's Chief Economic Advisor and CEO of the Maharashtra Transformation Institute (MITRA), Praveen Pardeshi, introduced this plan at an invitation-only event called "The Box Launch," hosted by the real estate tokenization company RealX and MST Blockchain at the Mumbai World Trade Center.Pardeshi stated that transmission lines could be partially tokenized, for example, 40% to 50%, allowing investors holding tokens to receive a portion of the revenue from Maharashtra Transco. The new funds generated from token sales could be used to build more transmission lines and solar energy storage centers. He pointed out that the state currently has a significant surplus of solar power but lacks the grid capacity to deliver it to where it is needed; distribution companies must pay high prices of 16 to 18 rupees per unit during peak hours, while the price during surplus periods on the power exchange is only 2 paise per unit.He also illustrated the practice of real estate tokenization with the example of the Mumbai Express Towers commercial building tokenized under a REIT structure, emphasizing that tokenization does not equate to privatization but rather allows more citizens to participate in the development activities of public asset creation. Additionally, the state is drafting the Maharashtra Digital and Land Token Asset Trading Act (DELTA Act), which, if passed, will make it the first state in India to legislate for blockchain-based property tokenization.
