NFT Paris Reportedly Cancels Event but Does Not Refund Sponsor Fees, Involving Over 500,000 Euros

1 days ago

January 7th, Funkari team member Neks announced that NFT Paris has **canceled** its 2026 NFT Paris and RWA Paris events (launched in 2022) due to depleted funds: organizational costs exceeded sponsorship and ticket revenue. Ticket buyers are promised refunds within two weeks. Below the announcement, sponsor @serc1n shared an email: “Per Article 12 of our agreement, non-refundable event costs have exceeded total sponsorship funds received—so we cannot provide refunds.” Okay Bears founder Kais, another sponsor, confirmed receiving the same message. Sponsors paid for exposure at the event, with goals ranging from driving profitability, selling products, and acquiring users to boosting brand visibility. Now the event is canceled, their sponsorship fees are gone. NFT Paris listed 61 sponsors for 2026; total sponsorship is estimated at over €500,000. A key detail: Sources say the core team that operated NFT Paris for three years left shortly before the incident. If true, this amounts to outright criminal behavior.

Opinion: 'Venezuela's $60 Billion Bitcoin Holdings' Claim Lacks Evidence

January 8th Rumors have circulated that the Venezuelan government may secretly hold up to $60 billion in Bitcoin, but Mauricio Di Bartolomeo—co-founder of crypto firm Ledn, a Venezuela-based Bitcoin miner with longstanding industry ties—says the claim is rooted in speculation and secondhand information, lacking credible on-chain evidence. The rumors center on three key claims: that Venezuela swapped large-scale gold sales for Bitcoin in 2018, that some oil revenue was settled in Bitcoin or crypto, and that the government used confiscated or stolen mining rigs to mine the token. Di Bartolomeo acknowledges Venezuela did receive crypto in some oil transactions and has seized mining rigs, but emphasized there’s no credible proof the ~$2.7 billion from its 2018 gold sale was converted to Bitcoin. Alex Saab—the key figure in that 2018 deal, now Venezuela’s Industry and National Production Minister—was detained by the U.S. from 2020 to late 2023, when he was released as part of a pri
