    Who is Cumberland, the SEC's Latest Big Crypto Target?

    The U.S. Securities Exchange Commission has pursued a spate of lawsuits against prominent crypto exchanges and blockchain technology companies such as Kraken, Binance, and Ripple Labs in recent years.  But, the agency’s latest target, Cumberland, isn't exactly a household name.  The Chicago-based market maker—charged on Thursday with acting as an unregistered dealer of securities among other securities-laws violations—is a major player on the crypto scene, and the case against it could have ripp...

    A former Russian investigator received a 16-year prison sentence on Tuesday for taking bribes in Bitcoin, marking the largest bribery case in Russian history.  Marat Tambiyev accepted roughly $73 million in Bitcoin from organized criminals he was investigating—more than five times the amount of the former highest bribe in Russia, Reuters reported, citing Russian media reports.

    Bitget Will Repay Traders After Ethereum Token Plunges 52% in Flash Crash

    Crypto exchange Bitget promised Monday to remunerate holders of its Ethereum-based BGB token, shortly after the cryptocurrency lost more than half its value in a sudden "flash crash." The token plunged roughly 52% to $0.54 from $1.14 at around 10:30pm ET on Sunday before recovering most of its value within an hour, according to CoinGecko data.  Bitget attributed the flash crash to “unexpected volatility” in the crypto market in a Twitter (aka X) post on Monday.

    Binance’s Market Dominance Slips to Lowest Point in Four Years Amid Regulatory Headwinds

    Crypto exchange Binance is losing its lead over its competitors as its business faces regulatory headwinds across the globe, a new report from digital asset data provider CCData shows.  The report, published on October 3, reveals Binance processed 36.6% of volume for spot and derivatives trading on centralized trading platforms in September, roughly 22% more than its closest competitor, OKX.  Binance's spot trading volume dipped more than 20% last month, leaving it with a 27% share of the spot m...

    Kalshi Revives US Election-Based Betting for Americans Following Court Freeze

    Kalshi has relaunched its betting pools based on U.S. election outcomes—the latest development in a convoluted legal drama that wreaked havoc on the prediction market operator's business strategy last month. A federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a weeks-long freeze on Kalshi's U.S. elections-based prediction markets. Kalshi briefly launched prediction markets based on the U.S. elections on September 12. However, the firm shuttered those markets shortly after that on the orders of a higher...

    When Binance CEO Richard Teng took over from his predecessor Changpeng “CZ” Zhao in November, he knew he was stepping into some big shoes.  But the newly appointed executive of the world's largest crypto exchange by daily trading volume said he never intended to be the next CZ—at least insofar as trying to match one of crypto’s biggest personalities. “I don't think I will be able to fill those gigantic shoes,” Teng told Decrypt in an interview. “It was never the intention.” In fact, Teng, who is...

    Crypto Mining Rig Sales Are Securities? Not So Fast, Lawyers Say

    A federal judge denied a crypto firm's request last week to dismiss an SEC complaint alleging that the sale of its purported mining hardware to customers constituted an investment contract. And while the move spurred some speculation on social media over the implications for such hardware, legal analysts say there's no immediate reason for concern. According to the lawsuit, filed in March 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, Green United allegedly defrauded investors of $18...

    Caroline Ellison Gets 2 Years in Prison for FTX, Alameda Crimes

    Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison has been sentenced to two years in prison for defrauding investors of crypto exchange FTX and its sister firm. Judge Lewis Kaplan of the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York handed down the sentence, citing Ellison's strong cooperation as a witness against former FTX fraud ringleader Sam Bankman-Fried last fall. “I’ve seen a lot of cooperators in 30 years," said Kaplan, per Bloomberg.

    Will Caroline Ellison Go to Prison? What You Need to Know Ahead of Sentencing

    Caroline Ellison is used to playing something of a supporting role in business and in life: About three years ago, the twenty-something math whiz became co-CEO of crypto quant trading firm Alameda Research alongside Sam Trabucco, though she later took over the role fully. Before that, she had carved out a place for herself in the inner circle of Alameda’s sister exchange, FTX—cementing her role as the dutiful lieutenant, lover, and confidant to its founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.  But on Tues...
