Timeline of Filecoin

The Chinese People's Court of Pingnan County recently initiated a public hearing about a case involving five defendants concerning a high-profile crypto crime. In particular, defendant Lai Mouhang and four accomplices were accused of orchestrating pyramid-selling activities that have reportedly amassed over 600 million yuan.

The Filecoin ecosystem is currently grappling with a damaging controversy. A major initiative based in China has been embroiled in legal proceedings, accused of orchestrating a pyramid scheme.

Shikongyun, a prominent Filecoin enterprise, is facing legal action as local Chinese prosecutors have sued the company for its alleged involvement in a pyramid scheme worth nearly $100 million.

LongHashX, which claims to be one of the world's leading Web3 accelerators with the strong network in Asia, is continuing its partnership with Protocol Labs, the creator of Filecoin and IPFS, in order “to launch the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) Genesis Accelerator.

Bitmain, the mining rig manufacturer, has announced the launch of a new rig that mines the digital currency filecoin (FIL). Similar to the company's KAS Miner KS3, the new FIL miner carries a hefty price tag of $38,888 per machine.

A recent report by Messari reveals that Filecoin, a decentralized storage protocol, has seen an increase in storage deals on its network. Currently, the protocol averages 954.2 pebibytes (1.07 billion gigabytes) worth of storage deals, while its raw storage capacity stands at 12.2 exbibytes (14.1 billion gigabytes).

Filecoin (FIL), the native token of the decentralized Filecoin network, has experienced a significant price increase in the past 24 hours. CoinGecko data reveals that FIL's value has risen by 16.47%, pushing its price to $4.73.

In a dramatic twist, Filecoin's top rival, Storj, a decentralized storage service provider, is leading the altcoin momentum today. According to data from CoinMarketCap, STORJ is changing hands at a price of $0.5296, up by 51.55% over the past 24 hours.

Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) is gaining traction among developers a few months after it was unveiled. In a statement, the developers noted that the ecosystem had seen its DeFi ecosystem and the number of smart contracts jump.

The higher timeframe charts showed Filecoin bulls were spectacularly unsuccessful at driving significant price rallies since September 2021, and the near-term expectations are also bearish.
