John didn’t keep to the tip of the BAFTAs and host Alan Cumming thanked the viewers for his or her ‘understanding’ and apologised for the language, which had not been edited out of the preliminary broadcast.
Final yr whereas taking about I Swear, John instructed the Telegraph about his expertise with Tourette’s Syndrome and what a tic feels wish to him.

In his dialog with the Telegraph, John described a tic feeling like a shaken bottle of fizzy water, ever able to gush forcefully out of him.
One of many signs some folks with Tourette’s have is named ‘coprolalia’, which is without doubt one of the most well-known signs despite the fact that it solely impacts some folks with the syndrome and is ‘the involuntary outburst of obscene phrases or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks’, because the Tourette Association of America places it.
Others who’ve Tourette’s have described how making an attempt to ‘suppress’ a tic and the way they ‘really feel a knot in my abdomen getting tighter and tighter like a noose round my neck.
John described how he began saying ‘c**t’ out of nowhere whereas on vacation along with his household till he was ‘was operating out of breath’, and his mum telling him a few weeks later to apologise.

I Swear covers a number of of essentially the most tough instances in his life together with a suicide try on the age of 14 which John instructed the Telegraph he’d accomplished ‘within the depths of despair’, and being attacked with a crowbar after a tic led to him shouting ‘slut’.
Aramayo, who performed John within the movie, mentioned there was a ‘joint accountability’ round Tourette’s which was ‘sophisticated and sophisticated and it requires us to have grace’.
The actor mentioned: “To begin with, there are tics. He’s ticcing. Now we have to know. The best way we understand Tourette’s is a joint accountability.
“It is not shouting obscenities. It is not being abusive. It is Tourette’s. They’re tics. If it could result in a deeper understanding of Tourette’s, and films are a part of that dialog, then it is an unbelievable factor.”
The BBC have since edited the BAFTAs broadcast on iPlayer, in an announcement they mentioned: “Some viewers might have heard sturdy and offensive language in the course of the BAFTA Movie Awards.
“This arose from involuntary verbal tics related to Tourette syndrome, and as defined in the course of the ceremony it was not intentional. We apologise that this was not edited out previous to broadcast and it’ll now be faraway from the model on BBC iPlayer.”
Bitcoin slipped below $65,000 – and even long-term investors are no longer playing along. Onchain data suggests that the first have started selling or moving their BTC to exchanges.
The last Bitcoin weekly closing price below $65,000 was the last straw. His undershooting has aautomated sales were triggered, which briefly pushed the price down to $64,000.
It is little consolation that the price drop to $64,000 was triggered less by substantial new facts than by technical factors and position adjustments. In any case, the behavior of large investors is beginning to change.
What is striking is the increase in Bitcoin exchange inflows from particularly bulging wallets. Such transfers are seen as harbingers of selling rounds and increase downward pressure. At the same time, several on-chain indicators show that investors who have held their coins for at least a year are increasingly taking profits. This is seen as a sign that a large part of this group does not expect a quick price recovery. Exceptions prove the rule.
The economy and geopolitics are not very helpful
Apart from the price decline, risky assets are having a harder time anyway. Potential new trade barriers, weak economic activity and geopolitical tensions are making investors cautious. Bitcoin often reacts in such phases as what it is: a highly volatile technology asset – and in times of uncertainty they are sold off faster than anything else.
Mood reminds of forgotten scenarios
The crypto industry sentiment index has fallen to one of its lowest levels in months. Many analysts see the reason why a large proportion of investors threw in the towel was the unusually high sales of long-term investors.

Some observers now expect further lows to be reached in the range between $50,000 and $52,000, while others expect it to stabilize above $60,000. Optimists would be satisfied with reaching the $65,000 mark again – for now anyway.
Final night time (23 February), Robert Aramayo beat out Hollywood favourites to select up the BAFTA greatest actor.
The 33-year-old performs John Davidson within the movie I Swear, impressed by the Tourette’s campaigner’s life.

“You might have seen some sturdy language within the background,” he added. “This may be a part of how Tourette’s syndrome reveals up for some individuals, because the movie explores that have.”
And when Aramayo spoke to reporters following his wins final night time, a BBC reporter mentioned: “You possibly can hear him shouting and phrases individuals discover offensive.”
The actor responded: “Initially, there are tics. He’s ticking. We now have to grasp. The best way we understand Tourette’s is a joint duty.
“It isn’t shouting obscenities. It isn’t being abusive. It is Tourettes. They’re tics. If it could possibly result in a deeper understanding of Tourettes, and films are a part of that dialog, then it is an unimaginable factor.”
Talking of the situation, he added: “It’s sophisticated and sophisticated and it requires us to have grace.”

It seems Davidson left the room through the second half of the ceremony.
Variety experiences that it’s understood the campaigner left of his personal accord and was not requested to go away by BAFTA. A supply instructed the outlet that he was an ‘invited visitor’ and by no means would Davidson be requested to go away the awards ceremony.

The movie2k complex is currently being negotiated before the Leipzig Regional Court as to whether Saxony can legally keep the 49,858 Bitcoins that have already been sold for around 2.64 billion euros.
The crucial issue is the question of confiscation after the partial statute of limitations on central charges.
In the case of the illegal streaming portal movie2k, proceedings with great financial significance are beginning for the Free State of Saxony. The Leipzig Regional Court is not only concerned with criminal allegations against those suspected of being behind the crime. At the core is also the question of whether Saxony can keep the proceeds from the sale of 49,858 Bitcoin.
The Bitcoins seized in the movie2k process were considered the largest BTC seizure in Germany. They were sold as part of an emergency sale between June 19 and July 12, 2024 by the Saxon Central Office for the Safekeeping and Exploitation of Virtual Currencies at the Dresden Public Prosecutor’s Office together with the Frankfurt bank Scheich Securities Specialist AG and with the support of the BKA.
Can Saxony keep the money?
From Tuesday, the Economic Criminal Chamber of the Leipzig Regional Court, chaired by Judge Karsten Nickel, will be dealing with the future of the confiscated assets. About it reported DAY24. According to the report, Josef F. handed over a total of 49,858 Bitcoin to the Free State after his arrest.
Particularly tricky: Saxony sold the inventory in the summer of 2024. TAG24 describes the process like this:
“Since Saxony’s judiciary feared a loss in the value of the cryptocurrency, it silvered the Bitcoin treasure in the summer of 2024. In the 24-day transaction, the Free State received around 2.64 billion euros. The money has been in a Bundesbank custody account since then.”
Now it’s a question of who can legally dispose of this proceeds. According to the report, in its opening decision the chamber has already classified a large part of the original charges as time-barred. Specifically, this affects 219,928 cases of commercial copyright infringement, which are therefore no longer being litigated.
As things stand, what remains are allegations of commercial money laundering, serious tax evasion and incitement to false suspicion. This is exactly what the question of confiscation depends on. Because the criminal law basis has become narrower, but the money is still available.
A court spokesman formulated the legal question to TAG24 as follows:
“In the independent confiscation procedure, confiscation can also be carried out beyond the statute of limitations. The prerequisite is that the defendants are found guilty on the remaining counts.”
If the chamber does not confirm the confiscation in the desired form, Saxony’s access to the proceeds would be significantly weaker. However, if the court confirms the confiscation, the dispute is unlikely to be over: large film companies could then file claims for part of the money due to copyright infringement.
In Leipzig it is practically about two things at the same time: a criminal case against two defendants and an amount worth billions. The procedure is intended to clarify whether the Bitcoin proceeds that have already been realized can be used for the Saxon budget or whether a long dispute between the state and possible rights holders will follow.
Repayment in Bitcoin?
Remarkably, the profit for Saxony could have been significantly higher. At Bitcoin’s record high in October 2025, the price was 107,745.13 euros. This means that 49,858 BTC would have been mathematically worth around 5.37 billion euros; Saxony had previously sold the position for 2,639,683,413.92 euros, which corresponds to an average sales price of around 52,944 euros per BTC.
After the subsequent price increase, the sale was commented on with derision in parts of the Bitcoin community because Saxony had not taken advantage of the subsequent upside. The same inventory would currently be around 2.73 billion euros, which is only slightly higher than the sales proceeds at the time.
But one thing is already clear: If the court decides that the Free State is not entitled to the proceeds, Saxony would not have to buy back Bitcoin on the market; the dispute is about fiat money, not coins.
Long-time Ripple partner SBI is further expanding its XRP presence in Japan with two new initiatives. The first includes blockchain-based bonds that reward retail investors with XRP.
The second, a cooperation with the Asia Web3 Alliance Japan, is a venture studio for projects based on XRPL. Both promote the integration of digital assets into classic financial products.
At the center is a new tranche of tokenized bonds worth ten billion yen. The securities are issued by SBIdistributed across its digital infrastructure, and they are aimed at retail investors who receive annual XRP rewards in addition to the fixed interest rate.
Payments run until 2029 and require an account with SBI VC Trade. In this way, SBI combines traditional forms of investment with access to digital assets and at the same time strengthens its own trading.
Tokenization as a growth engine
The new bonds are an example of efficient RWA tokenization. Technical processing via blockchain reduces operational hurdles and creates transparency for everyone involved. At the same time, the XRP premium combines a traditional investment with digital asset management.
The model is part of SBI’s long-term strategy: SBI has been relying on XRP for years as the basis for international payment processes and capital market innovations. The mix of tokenized bonds and digital premium shows how TradFi and Defi combine advantageously.
Venture studio as a coach for XRPL startups
The second SBI initiative, Venture Studio, is operated jointly with the Asia Web3 Alliance Japan. The aim is to support new companies developing applications based on XRPL. Venture Studio offers technical support, access to infrastructure and advice in the regulatory environment.
Japan is probably the most stable Asian digital asset market. That’s why SBI sees this as an opportunity to build a regional network of XRPL projects and expand the developer base.
Importance for Ripple and XRP
With the new bonds and the venture studio, the Japanese Ripple partner SBI is sending a clear signal. The company combines retail access, capital market innovation and startup funding in a consistent framework.

Producer Piers Tempest labored with Kirk Jones – the director and screenwriter behind flicks resembling Nanny McPhee, What to Anticipate When You are Anticipating and My Large Fats Greek Wedding ceremony 2 – to make the highly effective movie.
Talking to the Big Issue earlier than the BAFTA’s, Tempest revealed that Jones had taken an enormous threat to get the venture accomplished.
The award-winning producer himself went with out a charge for I Swear as he defined that the ‘realities of the unbiased movie world and particularly financing began to chew’ after they began pitching it.
Tempest stated it was prompt that they ‘take the swearing out to make the movie extra business’.
As each Tempest and Jones needed to inform an ‘genuine and actual model of John’s story in a business manner with out dumbing it down’, they didn’t want to do that.

He reckons the film may maintain the document for having essentially the most swear phrases in for a flick with a 15 certificates. For instance, I Swear consists of the C-word 26 occasions.
“At that time Kirk and I each realised that we had been going to need to make the movie exterior of the normal business mannequin after which promote it,” the producer stated, earlier than revealing the daring transfer that Jones made.
“We didn’t need to take the perimeters off the script and felt it was crucial to maintain it sincere to John’s story.

He and Jones had been very satisfied to see I Swear obtain a number of BAFTA nominations, particularly as the cash they needed to play with ‘was lower than the catering funds’ for its rivals resembling One Battle After One other.

XRP is under short-term selling pressure as more than 31 million XRP were transferred to Binance.
Santiment sees the biggest loss spike since 2022 as a possible capitulation signal near a bottom, but not a sure rally signal.
For XRP, the latest on-chain data shows a possible turning point: selling pressure remains high. At the same time, a historic spike in realized losses could indicate that this pressure is slowly being exhausted.
31 million XRP flows on Binance
Crypto-Analyst Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) describes the market is currently directionless. Bitcoin continues to move sideways, and it is precisely this lack of momentum that is weighing on altcoins.
In an X post early on February 23, Darkfost writes: “Bitcoin continues to range-bound, providing limited near-term directional clarity. This lack of momentum is weighing on the broader market, with altcoins continuing to underperform in the absence of a clear trend.”
The crucial point for XRP is the transfer to Binance. According to Darkfost, “more than 31 million XRP” were moved onto the exchange in a single day. Binance continues to be the preferred platform for large transactions due to its low liquidity. This is relevant because deposits on exchanges often indicate intentions to sell – even if an inflow alone does not prove a sale.
The inflows were mainly borne by the largest holder cohorts and were distributed as follows: small holders (under 1,000) with 6,543, small holders (1,000-10,000) with 73,630, medium holders (10,000-100,000) with 2,938,809, large holders (100,000-1 million). 14,236,825 and whales (over 1 million) with 14,494,865 XRP.
XRP inflows on Binance, Source: @Darkfost_Coc on X
Darkfost puts the potential selling pressure at around $45 million: “In total, this represents nearly $45 million in sudden potential selling pressure that should be closely monitored. Should this selling pressure continue, XRP may struggle to recover from its ongoing correction in the short term.”
What is crucial is whether further inflows follow and the tokens are actually sold.
Santiment: Biggest loss spike since 2022
At the same time, on-chain data provider Santiment sees another extreme in the data. The on-chain data provider wrote on February 21: “XRP saw its largest spike in on-chain realized losses since 2022. When the previous weekly value of -1.93 billion in realized losses was reached 39 months ago, XRP gained 114% over the following eight months.”
XRP Posts Biggest Increase in Realized Losses Since 2022, Source: @santimentfeed on X
Santiment justifies this with classic market psychology. “Significant realized losses occur when many investors sell their coins at a lower price than they originally paid. This usually coincides with a period when fear dominates the market. When traders capitulate in panic, they realize their losses instead of waiting for a recovery.”
However, this does not automatically mean an immediate recovery or bottoming out. Santiment itself makes this clear: Historically, such swings often occur near market bottoms, but do not guarantee an immediate rally. From Santiment’s perspective, this suggests that some of the selling pressure has already been released. A slightly bullish sign.
