SEC | Release | March 23, 2024 The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy continues to urge investors to be cautious if considering an investment involving crypto asset securities. Risk notice to investors: Investments in crypto asset securities can be exceptionally volatile and speculative, and the platforms where investors buy, sell, borrow, or lend these securities may lack important protections for investors.  The risk of loss for individual investors who participate in transactions involving crypto assets, including crypto asset securities, remains significant.  The only money you should put at risk with any speculative investment is money you can afford to lose entirely. Those offering crypto asset investments or services may not be complying with applicable law, including federal securities laws.  Under the federal securities laws, a company may not offer or sell securities unless the offering is registered with the SEC or an exemption to registration is available.  Similarly, the law requires parties such as securities broker-dealers, investment advisers, alternative trading systems (ATS), and exchanges to register with the SEC, a state regulator, and/or a self-regulatory organization (SRO), such as FINRA.  Moreover, entities and platforms involved in lending or staking crypto assets may be subject to the federal securities ...

Reuters | March 22, 2023 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has threatened to sue Coinbase Global Inc over some of the crypto exchange's products, turning up the heat on the largely unregulated sector. The potential enforcement actions would be tied to aspects of Coinbase's spot market as well as its Earn, Prime and Wallet products, the company said. Shares of Coinbase dropped nearly 13% to $67.33 in extended trading after the company said on Wednesday that the regulator had issued it a Wells notice - a formal declaration that SEC staff intend to recommend an enforcement action. Coinbase said its services continued to operate as usual after the notice was issued. See:  Coinbase Begins ‘Wallet as a Service’ Enabling Companies to Integrate Into Their Own Apps A Wells notice does not always result in charges or signal that the recipient has violated any law.  A Wells notice is typically one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges. It generally lays out the framework of the regulatory argument and offers the potentially accused an opportunity to rebut the SEC’s claims. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said in a blog post: Although we don’t take this ...

Guest Post | March 23, 2023 After entering college, people's lives change dramatically. On the positive side, they meet new people, make friends, and experience new emotions. However, they are now adults who must live on campus, pay for college, and become financially independent from their families. In addition to this, they have to attend lectures, prepare homework, participate in college activities, etc. It's a lot of stress, pressure, and sleepless nights. To lighten their workload and speed up the process of doing homework, some students use artificial intelligence-based online tools such as GPT Chat. Others hire assignment writing services, pay the required amount, and receive their papers on time. Both options can help with homework, but which option is better? Let's discuss this further. Are Assignment Writing Services Legal? There are currently no specific laws in the United States that prevent students from hiring assignment writing services or using AI tools for academic purposes. Thus, students can count on the help of assignment writers, especially when they provide a detailed plagiarism report to prove the originality of the work. The problem is finding a reliable service that has a team of experts who write an authentic copy from scratch ...

CoinDesk | Nikhilesh De, Oliver Knight | March 22, 2023 Sushi DAO and Head Chef Jared Grey were served with a subpoena by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the decentralized autonomous organization revealed Tuesday. Grey proposed creating a "Sushi DAO Legal Defense Fund" in a forum post, saying it would "cover legal costs for core contributors." The proposal recommends making $3 million in tether (USDT) available for core contributors, with another $1 million worth of USDT available in case the initial $3 million are used up. The sushi token dropped 5.5% on the news. One of the initial comments on the forum post asked how the DAO known as Sushi was subpoenaed, with the user saying they did not receive it despite being a member of the DAO. "We’re cooperating with the SEC. We do not intend to comment publicly on ongoing investigations or other legal matters," the forum post said.

March 20, 2023 Bitcoin has become incredibly popular in Canada over the past decade. Celebrities keep tweeting about it. Casinos are now accepting it for payments while tech-savvy Canadians are buying it as an investment. In the online casino space, almost every website has bonuses for crypto users. Some of them also feature games created on the blockchain. What’s this commotion all about? How is Bitcoin benefiting online casinos in Canada? Fast and Secure Payments Slow, unsecured payments kill hundreds of businesses every year according to the Harvard Business Review. That’s why many new casinos are embracing crypto at such a fast pace. Bitcoin processes transactions in an average of 10 minutes. If you use an alternative coin like XRP, you can send money around the world in seconds. It doesn’t matter if you’re sending $10 or $1 billion worth of crypto—the blockchain system is lightning fast.

Reuters | Stefania Spezzati, Oliver Hirt and John O'Donnell | Mar 19, 2023 Move follows Swiss rescue of Credit Suisse and signals depth of concern over the global financial system Some of the world’s largest central banks came together on Sunday to stop a banking crisis from spreading as Swiss authorities persuaded UBS Group AG to buy rival Credit Suisse Group AG in a historic deal. UBS will pay 3 billion Swiss francs (US$3.23 billion) for 167-year-old Credit Suisse and assume up to US$5.4 billion in losses in a deal backed by a massive Swiss guarantee and expected to close by the end of 2023. Soon after the announcement late on March 19, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, European Central Bank and other major central banks came out with statements to reassure markets that have been walloped by a banking crisis that started with the collapse of two regional U.S. banks earlier this month.  The Fed said it had joined with central banks in Canada, England, Japan, the EU and Switzerland in a coordinated action to enhance market liquidity. The banks said they would start offering daily loans in dollars to their banks to avert stress in ...
