Bitcoin and Ethereum drop due to unrest in China, concerns about crypto contagion
Along with global stocks, the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets fell on November 28 as investors dumped risky assets reportedly alarmed by unrest in China related to the anti-lockdown protests. According to CoinGecko, the largest digital asset was trading for $16,081 at the time of writing, a 3 percent 24-hour decline. The sell-off in Ethereum was more severe, down about 5 percent in price, at $1,158. According to on-chain expert Lookonchain, the significant decline in the value of the second-largest digital asset may be caused by a whale sending 73,224 Ethereum, valued at $85.7 million, to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance on November 28. This year, Bitcoin has generally followed the US stock market: when traders switch equities, the price of cryptocurrency declines as well. Read full here

A Salvadoran human rights group sues President Nayib Bukele for lack of transparency in Bitcoin transactions
A non-profit human rights organization called Cristosal has revealed that it has filed three lawsuits against El Salvador President Nayib Bukele in an effort to shed light on the source and details of the transactions involving the money used to buy Bitcoin. One of the lawsuits, according to Ruth Lopez, a representative for the group fighting corruption, was over the legitimacy of changes Bukele had made to the legislation governing these expenses. Lopez said that these rules permitting the president to control the assets are invalid, explaining that Bukele is in charge of managing $750 million as part of the Bitcoin trust formed by the nation’s central bank.
