A billboard calling for the release of Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht has been photographed in New York’s Times Square.
A photo of the billboard was yesterday posted on Twitter and features a picture of Ulbricht alongside the “Free Ross” caption. The website calling for Ulbricht’s release—freeross.org—is also on the billboard, which will remain in Times Square for several months, according to the “ClemencyForRoss” Twitter account.

Ulbricht, 36, was arrested and imprisoned in 2013 for setting up Silk Road—a darknet market that allowed users to buy and sell illegal drugs and fake documents using BitcoinBitcoin.
The website ran from 2011 until 2013 and reportedly made $214 million in sales before it was shut down by the FBI.
Ulbricht is currently serving a double life sentence without parole in New York after being found guilty of drug trafficking, criminal enterprise, aiding and abetting the distribution of drugs over the internet, computer hacking and money laundering.
A “generous supporter” paid for the billboard, the freeross.org Twitter account wrote. It added that “no #FreeRoss funds were spent on it.”
This billboard was the gift of a generous supporter. No #FreeRoss funds were spent on it.

The Twitter post so far has over 2,500 likes and nearly 500 retweets.
Ulbricht’s case has caused controversy, and many high-profile figures in the crypto space have called for his release.
A clemency petition was launched soon after Ulbricht's imprisonment, alleging that his sentencing was “rife with abuse.” It will be sent to President Donald Trump asking for Ulbrict’s sentence to be reduced when it has 300,000 signatures.
At the time of writing, it had close to 291,000 signatures.
Editor's note: This article was updated to clarify that the Silk Road generated $214 million in sales, not profits, during its run.

House Republicans have added a provision banning central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) into a 1,300 page bill which lays out defense spending and priorities for the next financial year.

It adds an exception for "any dollar-denominated currency that is open, permissionless, and private, and fully preserves the privacy protections of United States coins a...
Ripple and SBI Holdings are preparing to launch the RLUSD stablecoin in Japan by early next year, as the country’s freshly crafted stablecoin laws open its market to foreign issuers. The joint move was signed under a memorandum of understanding that will see Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin distributed in Japan through SBI VC Trade, the group’s licensed crypto exchange, Ripple announced late Thursday evening. Ripple’s entry would help step up the “reliability and convenience of stablecoins in the Japan...
Ripple owns billions of dollars worth of XRP, but company shares trading on private secondary markets don’t fully reflect that, according to VivoPower advisory board member Adam Traidman. As a private company, Ripple’s shares have less liquidity than they would on a stock exchange, so the company’s share price is primarily determined across individualized deals—often at a discount to the value of Ripple’s unmatched XRP holdings—he told Decrypt on Tuesday. “It has historically been really challen...
