The trader sold 1 SPK for 19,600 USDT — due to a mistake in the pool settings
Before starting trading, the user teochew.eth created a SPK/USDT pool and contributed almost 20,000 USDT — without SPK tokens, only in dollars.
He wanted to set the price: 1 USDT = 19 SPK (meaning SPK was supposed to cost ~$0.05), but he mixed them up and accidentally indicated the price the other way around: 1 SPK = 19,000 USDT.
The trader with the address 0x7ef29 immediately noticed this and sold 1 SPK for almost $20,000, instantly withdrawing all the liquidity from the pool.

The Central Bank urged banks to identify transfers through cryptocurrency exchanges using corporate cards
The Bank of Russia recommended credit institutions to strengthen control over transfers between individual cards and corporate cards of so-called 'technical companies' — legal entities without signs of real activity.
Such firms are often used by the 'shadow business', which the regulator associates with online casinos, cryptocurrency exchanges, financial pyramids, or drug dealers.
Banks have been advised to detect such operations through online monitoring 'in a mode close to real-time', as well as to analyze the transactional profile of the client.
If a client has 'counterparties that previously transferred money to drop services' or companies with signs of fictitious activity, the bank may restrict operations, for example, impose limits on transfers from individuals or prohibit cash deposits.
The Central Bank emphasized that the recommendations are not mandatory but complement existing measures to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
