How Trump’s victory has divided the crypto community

November 29, 2024 Coin Telegraph

While many crypto community members celebrated Donald Trump’s reelection, some may have felt differently.

Many in the crypto industry see President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 United States elections as a watershed moment, largely thanks to the myriad promises Trump made on the campaign trail.

Still, some members of the US crypto community took other factors into account.

Margaret Rosenfeld, chief legal officer at fintech platform Tilt, told Cointelegraph that not all crypto enthusiasts were single-issue voters. Rosenfeld said that some individuals found it difficult to reconcile their support for crypto with Trump’s other controversial positions.

Homeowner lawsuit over 0K crypto theft rejected on appeal

Appeals Court

A United States appeals court said a district court was right to toss Ali Sedaghatpour’s lawsuit claiming that his insurer, Lemonade Insurance, should cover him for a crypto scam loss.

A homeowner’s attempt to sue his insurer for failing to cover his $170,000 loss to a crypto scam was rejected by a United States appeals court, with a three-judge panel ruling there had been no error in dismissing his case.

The Fourth Circuit Appeals Court ruled on Oct. 24 that a Virginia District Court judge was correct in ruling that Ali Sedaghatpour had no breach of contract claim against Lemonade Insurance because his homeowner’s policy only covered “direct physical loss” of property.

Sedaghatpour sued Lemonade Insurance in 2022, claiming the insurer should have covered him under the policy for $170,000 in crypto stolen from him in a scam.
