Investigators from Ernst & Young were able to locate six offline wallet belonging to QuadrigaCX only to find them largely empty. In a report released Friday, EY said the six wallets held a little more than $400,000 worth of bitcoin, which was accidentally transferred last month. Investigators are still trying to locate the more than $130 million the exchange held in customer coins when CEO Gerald Cotton died in December. These wallets only held bitcoin, and there is belief that the exchange held large amounts in ethereum and other altcoins so not all is lost. In its report, EY added that QuadrigaCX could have accounts on at least 14 other cryptocurrency exchanges, the names of which have not yet been disclosed. –THE NEXT WEB       2. The price of ethereum has dropped about five percent following the implementation of the Constantinople and St. Petersburg forks last week. While the fork went off without a hitch (not a given based on the project's delayed implementation), the price has struggled. That is probably the result of traders wary of bugs or glitches causing problems to the network. With that said, analyst JP Butanix writes that the price drop has given some large investors the opportunity to accumulate more ether. "While some people may see the current price fluctuation as a reason to get worried, it seems unlikely any real harm will be done in the coming hours and days," he writes. "A sudden price drop is never fun to look at, but there is nothing one can do about it as of right now." –THE MERKLE        Ad Get Access To The Boss Cryptocurrency Trading Course - For FREE In This Free Course You Will Learn: - The exact trading strategy we used to win in 2018 - How to stop the seemingly endless cycle of losing money, forever - How to do it all trading less than 4 hours per week This course is 100% free for this week only.

Aya Miyaguchi, the executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, said the foundation will continue to shift its focus as the needs of the ethereum platform change. "What are things that only the Ethereum Foundatino can do?" she said at a recent developer conference. She sees two keys areas the foundation can help. First is increasing the communication with the public around the work being done to the ethereum platform. Second, she wants to increase the support and coordination work the foundation has done between different ethereum startups and projects. "I believe the Ethereum Foundation has established this trust relationship in the world where we do have the brand," she said. "People trust us to be neutral or honest about information so we just want to deliver the true information." –COINDESK       Ad What's new in the entirely reimagined Jira Software?
