They pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary in August, and were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday. Paul, of Barking in London, received six years in prison, Madzou, also of Barking, five and a half years, and Samagassi, of no fixed address, five years. The victim's sister showed "extreme bravery," said PC Gemma Childs, the investigating officer, adding that her actions led directly to "the apprehension of the offenders and preventing her brother from further harm." In a statement read in court, the victim said the break-in had changed him. "Before, I was bubbly, talkative and outgoing but now I would describe myself as tense and apprehensive," he said.

JPMorgan's JPM Coin launches on Ethereum, bringing bank dollars onto the public blockchain.
Biji.com data: JPMorgan's JPM Coin has launched on Ethereum, enabling its largest clients to transfer dollars as quickly on Sunday night as on Tuesday morning. Normal wire transfers between banks only operate during business hours and can take several days to arrive, so JPMorgan began experimenting with blockchain technology. JPM Coin is a deposit token, with each unit representing one U.S. dollar deposited in a JPMorgan account, redeemable by clients at any time without lockup. Unlike this, stablecoins are dollar-pegged tokens whose reserves are held by private companies. Only vetted counterparties can hold JPM Coin, so this is not a token that anyone can buy on an exchange. JPMorgan first placed the token on the Base network, a cheaper and faster network built on top of Ethereum and incubated by Coinbase. The bank also plans to launch a shared 24/7 tokenized deposit network in the first half of 2027.

The U.S. CFTC rebuts CME's lawsuit over perpetual futures regulatory policy.
CoinWorld news, according to Coindesk: In its latest court filing, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rebutted CME Group's lawsuit over its perpetual futures regulatory policy, stating that CME has failed to demonstrate that the new policy has caused it actual or imminent financial loss, and that CME's cryptocurrency futures trading volume has actually risen since the policy adjustment. In May of this year, the CFTC approved Kalshi to launch the first U.S. Bitcoin perpetual futures contract and plans to regulate such products as futures on a case-by-case basis. CME argues that perpetual contracts have no expiration date and should be classified as swaps, subject to different regulatory rules. TD Cowen analysts believe that CME may still hold an advantage on the issues of standing to sue and product classification disputes, but as the perpetual contract market continues to expand during the litigation, even if CME ultimately prevails, it may become more difficult to unwind existing market arrangements.
