Stablecoin issuer Circle weighed in on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) lawsuit against Binance, arguing that stablecoins are not securities. The SEC had said in its June lawsuit that the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin was sold as an investment contract, and thus a security under the law, because it offered a yield via a reward program. Circle’s filing argues that stablecoins cannot be securities. “Payment stablecoins, on their own, do not have the essential Features of an investment contract,” it said in a   court filing . “Decades of case law support the view that an asset sale — decoupled from any post-sale promises or obligations by the seller — is not sufficient to establish an investment contract.” Circle also argued that assets pegged to the dollar are not securities because their buyers do not anticipate making a profit given the 1:1 ratio to the fiat currency it is pegged to.  Binance Fights for Survival The lawsuit against Binance threatens the exchange’s

The potential for a Bitcoin Exchange-Trust Fund ( ETF ) getting the green light this year took a hit with revelations that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) might abstain from such endorsements. In a recent post, Bloomberg’s seasoned analyst, James Seffyat, shed light on this. He emphasized that recent SEC activities hint at no forthcoming ETF approvals 2023. Particularly concerning to observers was the SEC’s decision to bypass pending second deadlines and postpone the ARK 21Shares ETF filing. This move, Seffyat speculates, signals the likelihood of the SEC stalling all forthcoming filings. Major ETF filings from BlackRock, Bitwise, VanEck, Invesco, Wisdomtree, Fidelity, and Valkyrie are slated for October deliberation. Pondering the reasoning behind the SEC ’s early delay, Seffyat posits two possibilities. The impending U.S. Federal Government shutdown might prompt the SEC to clear its slate.

In the latest Cointelegraph Report, we sought to find out the real value AI brings to the crypto industry beyond the hype surrounding the technology. To do so, we looked into three main areas where AI is impacting crypto : trading, data analytics, and user experience.  For many years, trading bots have allowed users to execute trades in an automated way based on certain pre-set parameters.  With the recent development of Large Language Models such as ChatGPT, AI-powered bots are capable of processing large amounts of historical data, which can be helpful in predicting future price movements.  However, despite the latest advancements, AI-powered bots are still not sophisticated enough to elaborate complex trading strategies. “It's basically like having a bunch of dumb partners who can, who can adhere to very basic commands, but they can'

In a critique of the current state of cryptocurrency enforcement, a former insider from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has called for a significant shift in the approach towards tackling crypto-related fraud.  In an X (formerly Twitter) post on September 23, John Stark Reed, who served as an attorney in the SEC Division of Enforcement for nearly two decades, emphasized the need for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to step in and prosecute crypto-grifters, asserting that prison time is the key to making them take enforcement seriously. He highlighted the disparity between the actions of the SEC, which primarily deals with civil enforcement, and the lack of criminal prosecutions. “The stark reality is that the SEC is merely a civil enforcement agency. And until crypto-grifters face the threat of DOJ prosecution (i.e. prison time), they will continue to treat SEC enforcement-related risks (like injunctions, penalties, and disgorgement) as the cost of regulatory

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen says that altcoins will likely perform poorly for the remainder of 2023 based on historical patterns. Cowen tells his 787,000 YouTube subscribers that altcoins will likely struggle to close out the year as they had in other pre-halving years. The next Bitcoin (BTC) halving is expected in April 2024, when miner rewards are cut in half. “The point is that regardless of what the S&P does, there’s a good chance that crypto, especially the altcoin market, is going to be struggling for the rest of the year, which is pretty common in pre-halving years for altcoins to really struggle, especially for the last half of it. So just be aware that this is pretty normal. Even outside of recessions or recession scares, it’s not that uncommon to see this type of behavior.” The trader also warns that while Bitcoin is up this month, BTC could close the month in the red as it had in 2019, the previous pre-halving year. “Bitcoin has backtested the
