2️⃣ South Korea Enacts First Crypto Investor Protection Law, Bolstering Existing Rules ‼️

South Korea's first crypto regulatory framework focusing on investor protection, the Virtual Asset User Protection Act, officially takes full effect with a one-year grace period for refining regulatory details.

The Virtual Asset User Protection Act aims to target unfair trading practices following the disastrous collapse of Terra-Luna and FTX in 2022. Local crypto exchanges are now required to store at least 80% of user deposits in a cold wallet. The legislation also mandates exchanges to set up real-time monitoring systems to report illegal trading activities alongside maintaining 15-year transaction records for verification and tracking. Lawmakers are currently discussing follow-up regulations, including regulating token issuers and reviewing the ban on institutional investment in crypto.

4️⃣ Microsoft IT Outages Hit Worldwide After Faulty Update From Cybersecurity Firm Crowdstrike

Businesses around the world are facing massive IT disruptions after a faulty software update from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike caused thousands of Windows-based IT systems and endpoints that downloaded the update to crash. Affected systems were reportedly faced with the “blue screen of death” (BSOD) and were unable to reboot and function properly. The outages have grounded flights, disrupted trains, affected banks, health services, and Sky News was unable to broadcast.

While the effects were first reported in Australia and New Zealand, it has since spread into Asia and Europe. Many first suspected the outage to be the result of a cyber-attack. However, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz reassured customers that the incident was not a security breach or cyberattack. He explained that the outage stemmed from an update to the firm’s Falcon Sensor security product and that Crowdstrike was working on rolling back the faulty update.

🚨 New Video Alert!! 🚨

Politicians and regulators have enormous power over crypto. With a stroke of the pen, they can decide what counts as financial freedom and what counts as crypto crime. So, it’s no surprise that they’re often the main characters in crypto news.

But not anymore. A new report has laid bare how law enforcement agencies view crypto, and just how much power they have to investigate us. Today, we’re exploring the mind of the crypto cop. Tune in to find out what makes them tick, and what it means for us.

The truth is, any change on the Democratic ticket this November will have profound implications for the crypto market. That’s why today, we’re bringing you the low-down on the Democrats most likely to replace Biden, and what their candidacy could mean for crypto.

1️⃣ BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Calls Bitcoin 'Legitimate Financial Instrument' ▶️

In a recent interview with CNBC, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink reiterated his newfound “belief” in Bitcoin, confirming that he had changed his mind about it in the last five years. Notably, Fink's interview follows BlackRock's second-quarter earnings results, which topped analyst estimates as assets under management increased 13% year-over-year to $10.6 trillion.

Fink stated,

I was a proud sceptic and I studied it, learned about it, and I came away saying, okay, you know, my opinion [for] five years was wrong [...] I'm not trying to say there's not misuses like everything else, but it is a legitimate financial instrument that allows you to have maybe uncorrelated, non-correlated type of returns […] It is an instrument that you invest in when you’re more frightened. It is an instrument when you believe that countries are debasing their currency by excess deficits. There’s a real need for everyone to look at it as one alternative.

Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond.

According to court documents filed in the Southern District of New York, plaintiffs in an ongoing class action lawsuit against Tether and Bitfinex have filed a new, slimmed-down complaint accusing the companies of manipulating crypto prices through a deceptive scheme involving USDT, Tether’s dollar-backed stablecoin.

🔥 Rally Report 🔥

STACKS

The price of STX has rallied by 12% in the past 24 hours.

WHY?!

🕯 Most of STX’s recent rally seems to come from heavy trading activity on the South Korean crypto exchange Upbit. Over the past 24 hours, Upbit saw $70 million in volume on its STX/KRW trading pair. This accounts for almost 50% of STX’s global trading volume today.

‼️ That said, the Stacks ecosystem saw a few bullish developments over the weekend. Notably, the US Securities and Exchanges Commission announced that it was dropping its investigation into Bitcoin layer 2 network Stacks and its developer Hiro System (formerly known as Blockstack). Core developers also reported that they are now "code complete" for Nakamoto Activation – the upcoming upgrade for the Stacks network. Once activated, Nakamoto will enable fast transaction confirmations, full Bitcoin finality, and set the stage for the upcoming release of sBTC.

2️⃣ SEC Drops Investigation Into Paxos - Win For Crypto Industry ⚡️

According to a July 9 letter by Jorge Tenreiro - the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s acting chief of the crypto assets and cyber unit, the securities regulator has decided not to recommend an enforcement action against New York-based stablecoin issuer Paxos. Notably, the announcement follows a Wells Notice the SEC had sent Paxos earlier over its BUSD stablecoin. The new decision to not recommend an enforcement action suggests that stablecoins, like the dollar-backed BUSD, may not be treated as securities. The SEC appears to have shifted its stance after a federal judge sided with Binance in a decision that held the sales of BUSD did not constitute a securities offering.

Paxos stated,

Paxos Trust Company has always maintained that its USD-backed stablecoins are not securities under federal securities laws and that the Wells notice was unwarranted and unjustified. We are proud of our relentless advocacy for stable-value digital assets and that the SEC staff determined it will not bring enforcement action against Paxos in connection with BUSD.

Notably, Culper’s report comes just two days after analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein initiated coverage on IREN with an outperform rating, citing the company’s hybrid bitcoin mining and AI data center strategies. After the publication of Culper’s report, the Bernstein analysts responded by stating that the bulk of Culper’s short argument was based on criticising IREN’s Childress site and its unsuitability for AI operations. They noted that the Childress site was mainly committed to the expansion of bitcoin mining, whereas the Bernstein analysts’ anticipated AI upside for IREN comes mainly from its larger 1.4GW pipeline site in West Texas.

🔔 MARKET MOVING NEWS! (11/07/24)

1️⃣ FTX Lawyers Counter Jump Trading’s $264 Million Damages Claims ☄️

The FTX bankruptcy estate is reportedly pushing back against a $264 million claim by Jump Trading's subsidiary Tai Ho Shan. Specifically, Tai Mo Shan demands nearly $264 million in damages from Alameda Research due to the firm’s alleged non-delivery of 800 million Serum (SRM) tokens under a loan agreement dating back to August 2020. However, FTX estate lawyers argue that the claim is invalid as the loan allegedly never commenced. According to the court filings, Jump Trading said it calculated the damages based on an options model, which uses SRM’s market price on the bankruptcy filing date, the token’s implied volatility, the repayment option price and other factors.

The court filing made by the FTX estate lawyers reads,

It is undisputed that Alameda failed to deliver the cryptocurrency contemplated by the Loan Confirmation to the Master Loan Agreement. The loan therefore did not commence. Nowhere does the Master Loan Agreement provide that Tai Mo Shan can seek to compel Alameda to deliver the cryptocurrency, or seek money damages on a loan that did not commence.

2️⃣ BitMEX Dismisses Guilty Plea for Money-Laundering Violations as ‘Old News’ 🤔

Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX has pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). BitMEX responded to the announcement stating that it will seek expedited sentencing - arguing that it should not face any further fines than those already imposed in a prior case.

BitMEX’s prepared response reads,

The BSA charge is old news. This is the same charge brought in 2020 against our founders relating to BitMEX’s operations up to September 2020. BitMEX has long since fully remediated its operations, and there is nothing new in this charge.
