The lawsuit claimed FTX Digital Markets was an "economic nullity" within the FTX Group "created as a front to facilitate a conspiracy to defraud the Debtors’ customers".

The Caribbean arm is a mere shell to further Sam Bankman-Fried’s fraud, the company alleged.

Only days after being rescued by HSBC, the UK arm of the Silicon Valley bank received bonuses for its executives that total between £15m to £20m. It might be argued that the SVB rescue was not a ‘bailout’ as such. It could be sustained that in fact the bank was bought by another bank (HSBC) … for a pound. So after approaching a near collapse of the bank, which was engineered by the bank’s executives themselves, when they decided to buy long term treasuries which they were then forced to sell at a huge loss when depositors asked for their funds. This gross negligence was rewarded, just like it was back in the Global Financial Crisis of 2007/2008, by large bonuses to the banks’ executives. Modest bonuses This kind of occurrence appears to be so common and so matter of fact now that even the general public hardly turns a hair when it is reported that recently failed bank executives have been awarded bonuses after contributing to the collapse of their bank. Comments on the matter by sources quoted by CoinTelegraph were along the lines that the bonuses were actually “modest”. It was also pointed out, as though to further bolster the case for the bonuses, that the stock owned by the executives had been “rendered worthless” by the bank’s collapse. Bonuses in the banking industry are as extremely common as they are extremely uncommon in other industries. The question might also be asked as to where the money for the bonuses comes from? Banking is inefficient, pays negligible return to depositors (especially after inflation is taken into account), and charges exorbitant fees to customers (credit cards, overdrafts etc.). Banking is obsolete In fact, given how financial innovations in crypto have sped up payments dramatically and at close to zero cost, it would appear that banking is practically obsolete. However, people are still forced to hold a bank account, and are obliged to deal with the inefficiencies and high costs of doing so on a daily basis. However, change is coming, and that change is likely to speed up corresponding to the frequency of bank collapses. The last throw of the dice for governments and their central banks is the imposition of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). These are likely to fail, given that they are based on the same system. Bitcoin anyone? Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Insider sources reportedly described the bonus pool as “modest,” adding that the stock held by senior execs had been “rendered worthless” following SVB UK’s "near-collapse.”

A class action lawsuit is claiming that prominent finance Youtubers who promoted the FTX exchange on their channels should be held accountable. Sued For Promoting “Unregistered Securities” Several popular finance YouTubers have landed in legal hot water with a new class action lawsuit that seeks to hold them responsible for promoting the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX on their channels. The statement filed by the plaintiff points out, “Though FTX paid Defendants handsomely to push its brand and encourage their followers to invest, Defendants did not disclose the nature and scope of their sponsorships and/or endorsement deals, payments and compensation, nor conduct adequate (if any) due diligence.” The lawsuit also claims that the named defendants conspired with FTX to mislead customers into believing that funds held on the platform were safe and not under investigation as unregistered securities. The matter of cryptocurrency being classified as “unregistered securities” have been highly controversial, with the SEC gunning for this classification. If they are successful, then all future promoters of any crypto product would require to disclose the amount they were paid for every promotion. Gunning For Celebs And Influencers The ones named in the class action lawsuit are Graham Stephan, Andrei Jikh, Jaspreet Singh, Kevin Paffrath, Ben Armstrong, Brian Jung, Jerremy Lefebvre, and Tom Nash. Some of these YouTubers have millions of subscribers on their channels, and their videos on FTX have garnered hundreds of thousands of views. Furthermore, the talent management company handling the promotion of FTX, i.e., Creators Agency LLC and its founder Erika Kullberg have also been named in the lawsuit. The plaintiff Edwin Garrison is a private investor who has filed multiple lawsuits against individuals and public figures connected to FTX, like Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, Shaquille O’Neal, Larry David, Kevin O’Leary, and other celebrities who had promoted FTX. He has also filed a lawsuit against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Government Bodies Taking Strict Action Bankman-Fried already has several other lawsuits filed against him, including multiple fraud charges from government bodies like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) clearly states that social media influencers must clearly disclose paid promotions on their videos or posts. Certain influencers and celebrities have even gotten into trouble for not disclosing this aspect of the product they have been paid to promote. For example, Kim Kardashian was charged by the FTC for not disclosing that she was paid to promote EthereumMax’s EMAX token. It cost her $1.26 million in fines for the product promotion, which only brought in $250,000 for her. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Source: Depositphotos DeFi infrastructure provider AllianceBlock is changing the dynamics for crypto startups seeking funding through a unique partnership with ABO Digital, the digital asset investment arm of Alpha Blue Ocean. The collaboration will enable crypto projects to seek alternative funding by issuing fully-compliant tokenized structured products to their financial backers. Until now, crypto projects have been limited in their financing options, and usually obtain liquidity by issuing tokens to market makers and early investors. AllianceBlock and ABO Digital will provide them with the ability to tokenize traditional financial instruments and wrap them up as traditional Actively Managed Certificates, or AMCs, which can then be offered to capital providers that don’t want to hold digital tokens. ABO Digital’s role in the partnership is to negotiate and structure financial instruments on behalf of crypto projects, based on their capital needs and liquidity requirements. AllianceBlock, meanwhile, will leverage its Nexera Protocol infrastructure and Nexera ID technology to tokenize these instruments as fully compliant AMCs. Investor’s capital will be locked into smart contracts, to be released only once the project’s minimum funding threshold has been achieved. Investors will then receive a traditional AMC that will be managed by AllianceBlock. The main advantage of this initiative is that traditionally risk-averse institutional investors now have a way to offer capital to promising crypto projects in a way that’s fully compliant. AMCs provide a different form of ownership that’s more palatable than owning digital tokens. AllianceBlock Chief Executive Rachid Ajaja said his company is offering institutional investors a compliant and less risky way to get involved in DeFi. “This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies and the industry as a whole, demonstrating our commitment to innovation, compliance, and risk management,” he said. In addition to AMCs, AllianceBlock and ABO Digital said they will enable large crypto funds, private equity firms and others to issue capital in the shape of tokenized financial instruments such as bonds, options and shares. By tokenizing such instruments, the companies say they’ll be able to appeal to newer classes of investors. Asset tokenization is one of the most promising areas of DeFi, or decentralized finance, as it has the potential to transform how investments are made. As AllianceBlock explains, many real-world assets are traded in an extremely primitive way, with ownership certified on paper contracts. This results in higher costs and long transaction times, and makes it difficult to subdivide the ownership of many kinds of assets. Digital tokenization will enable fractional ownership of almost any kind of asset with lower costs, making them accessible to all types of investor, be it an institution or private individual. ABO Digital CEO Amine Nedjai said today's announcement will tempt more institutional capital providers to look at the evolving DeFi space. “We look forward to working with AllianceBlock and paving the way for a new era in finance, one that is both creative and professional,” he said. Going forward, AllianceBlock said it will work with ABO Digital to explore additional alternative financial investments for institutions using tokenization, as part of its mission to build a seamless gateway between the traditional and decentralized finance worlds.

The European Parliament has voted in favor of proposed legislation that will challenge the immutability of smart contracts. The European Parliament on Tuesday adopted legislation under the Data Act which includes provisions on smart contracts and the internet of things (IoT). The legislation was passed with 500 votes in favour and 23 against. Although the proposed legislation, which is not law yet, does not take specific aim at crypto, it could affect decentralized finance (DeFi), according to reports by Blockworks. The proposed legislation addresses smart contracts under Article 30. It includes provisions such as “rigorous access control mechanisms at the governance and smart contract layers” and protections of trade secrets integrated into the design of smart contracts. The Block reports that smart contracts would have to be designed under the new provisions with the possibility to terminate or interrupt transaction mechanisms. Under the new rules, smart contracts will be subject to “harmonized standards” defined in the Act. The new version of the bill also reintroduces strict compliance measures for smart contract developers that were previously removed. The bill reads: The vendor of a smart contract or, in the absence thereof, the person whose trade, business or profession involves the deployment of smart contracts for others in the context of an agreement to make data available shall perform a conformity assessment with a view to fulfilling the essential requirements. Confusion and Uncertainty Over the Data Act The revised version of the bill has drawn criticism from the DeFi community. Curve Finance, a major decentralized exchange, said it would be “impossible to comply” with the new regulations: > Smart contract developers may need to design reset possibilities to allow termination or interruption of transactions.> The European Parliament adopted legislation under the Data Act on Tuesday, with 500 votes in favor and 23 against.Fire them all. Impossible to comply here https://t.co/FV8lJdcrqX — Curve Finance (@CurveFinance) March 14, 2023 Thibault Schrepel, an associated professor at the VU University Amsterdam, said the new bill “endangers smart contracts to an extent that no one can predict.” He tweeted saying: Article 30 does not provide clarity as to who should be able to ‘terminate the continued execution of transactions.’ Adding, “Is it the creator of the smart contract? Public authorities? Courts?” Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only. It is not offered or intended to be used as legal, tax, investment, financial, or other advice.

On 10 February, 2023, the European Union published an exciting, but incredibly complicatedly named document, specifically The Common Union Toolbox for a Coordinated Approach Towards a European Digital Identity Framework: The European Digital Identity Wallet Architecture and Reference Framework, or ARF. We will dive into this document and what it means for Europe and for Dusk Network here, and to keep things brief, will follow the EU’s own suggested abbreviations for this document: EUDI and ARF. What is EUDI? The concept of a European Digital Identity (EUDI) has been brewing for a while now. All the way back on the 3rd of June 2021, the European Commission announced its intention to lead the way in making this product available to all European citizens. Now, almost two years later, the EU is ready to start moving on to the piloting phase. But piloting what? In effect, EUDI is a form of identification that can be used by any citizen of any European Union member state, by any company operating in the European Union, and accepted by any business or government agency in the European Union. Rather than replacing pre-existing identity mechanisms (i.e. national ID cards), EUDI sits alongside those as an auxiliary digitized identity system. For example, a bank in the Netherlands would continue to accept the Dutch identity card for new account openings, but would also accept EUDI for non-Dutch residents, meaning that they would only need to support two forms of identity verification. This is a step forward from banks’ current options to either learn how to support a plethora of identity certificates OR to restrict services to only people with Dutch IDs. EUDI would not be limited, however, only by the services that a member state’s identity card is used for, but rather would also extend to any interaction where attributes about a person need to be proven. The use cases that the EU itself identified are far and wide, including: Secure and trusted identification to access online services Mobility and digital driving license Professional business certifications Paying for things where different prices occur, such as toll roads Health records such as patent summaries, or ePrescriptions Educational credentials and professional qualifications Digital Finance products Digital Travel Credentials (such as passports and visas) Currently, proving identity and credentials in the European Union is confusing and prone to errors. In fact, a huge number of different certifications are needed for whatever it is that a citizen is trying to do, which also differ in number and style from member state to member state. True to the European mission to harmonize all member states into a single trade and travel area, they wish to solve this problem with one single EUDI for all. What is ARF? ARF is a recent document that marks the beginning of the EUDI pilot phase. It is essentially a checklist for each member state to agree upon and harmonize before piloting can commence. This includes: Defining roles and responsibilities of every player in the EUDI process. Outlining functional and non-functional requirements of the EUDI Wallet. Identifying potential building blocks. Since each member state’s implementation of EUDI needs to be interoperable with all the others, it is critical that everyone starts by building on the same set of standards and using consistent terminology. This is important when it comes to specifics like certifying the validity of an ID or document. For example, if a certificate has an expiry date, it should automatically become invalid on or after that date. But should the issuer also have the ability to revoke the certificate at any point before the certificate naturally expires? And if something is valid ‘until it is revoked’, does it need an expiry date just in case? The ARF sets guidelines for how all these things should be set up, how the information would flow between the parties involved, and who should have access to what. This is crucial, given that multiple parties are involved in even a simple transaction like issuing a discount rail ticket to a student. In this example, the parties include: The student. The railway operator. The university (which verifies the student’s status). A national student body (who may also have to verify the student). The operator of the railway station (if different from the operator). The train ticket website that sold the ticket. As you can see, even a seemingly simple transaction like purchasing a train ticket for a student can involve up to six different parties. Can you imagine what kind of complexity might be involved in dealing with sophisticated financial instruments? Why does Dusk Network welcome this? At Dusk Network we believe that the ARF specifications are an important step towards improving privacy and security in the EUDI process: two of our main priorities. The above (fairly simple) example of a student purchasing a train ticket highlights the need for selective disclosures. They would allow individuals to share only the necessary information, while simultaneously making unsafe practices like sharing copies of IDs or requiring personal data completely obsolete. You can think of selective disclosures like showing someone your driving license, but with your fingers covering all the information except your photo, since that is all that is really needed. Data leaks are becoming increasingly more common in society, and we at Dusk are alarmed that even the simplest of transactions carry a big potential for data leakage. The easiest way to protect users and organizations is to either store data in a secure encrypted format or to not get any exposure to it. To address this concern, the ARF specifications point to a EUDI that must-have features such as certificate issuance and revocation, encryption, secure transfer of identity and other personal information, and a range of selective disclosure options. That sounds a little familiar, doesn’t it? Why use Citadel for EUDI? Citadel is Dusk’s privacy-preserving digital identity solution that allows for privacy, compliance, decentralization, and a one-and-done approach to KYC. As such it would be a great choice for EUDI for multiple reasons, but mostly for privacy, compliance, and efficiency. Privacy is a key concern for everyone involved in the EUDI process. Citadel is built using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which means that private data does not need to be revealed in order to confirm that a person has legitimate access to a service, is authorized to enter a country, or has a legitimate right to be somewhere. This approach to privacy and identity is new and revolutionary and allows for a solution that preserves privacy while still providing secure identity verification. In that sense, it goes above and beyond the EUDI’s current ambition of issuing a digital version of what already exists. ZKPs have the power to prove that something is true without any other disclosure and in the case of the EUDI, that would translate into giving people the power to prove eligibility without having to share their identity. Whether they enter a country, open a bank account, or even access a service, Citadel would ensure that their data remains private as well as dramatically reducing any chance of hackers’ attacks. Compliance is another advantage that Citadel offers, specifically programmable compliance. The EU can program its regulations into Citadel itself, which not only ensures compliance but it also makes it easier to update the regulations as things change. For example, during Brexit, Citadel as the EUDI could have been used to update the system and change what was and wasn’t allowed, making it simpler to maintain compliance. Presumably, UK citizens’ EUDIs would have been made invalid. Finally, efficiency is a crucial advantage of Citadel. Unlike traditional systems that require extensive data storage and compliance departments, Citadel eliminates the need for these costs. With Citadel, there would be no need to maintain redundant copies of databases storing the digital identities of approximately 450 million people, alongside entire legal, compliance, and cybersecurity departments. Only proof of eligibility would be transmitted, while data would not. If there is nothing to hack, there’s no need for all this overhead. In conclusion, Citadel has the potential to provide both the EU and its citizens with the privacy, programmable compliance, and efficiency that they need to make digital identities a success. Thanks to its use of zero-knowledge cryptography and programmable compliance, Citadel offers a new approach to digital identity that is both secure and efficient and has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach identity verification.

What is an Baby Doge Army? Baby Doge Army are a non-fungible tokens collection built on the Ethereum network launched in 31 March, 2022. 9,999 items of the Baby Doge Army collection can now be viewed at OpenSea. How many owners does the Baby Doge Army collection have? The total number of owners has reached 2371 within 346 days since its release. NFT Collection Baby Doge Army Price and Sales The market capitalization of Baby Doge Army NFT collection is 1,287.85 ETH. Since created the Baby Doge Army, 6,014 collections sales were made at an average price of 0.22 ETH (~$347.12 at the time of writing). This created a total volume in 1,316.772 ETH. The floor price of Baby Doge Army is 0.1299 and the 30-day trading volume is kept at 27.07 ETH. The payment tokens of the Baby Doge Army collection are ETH, WETH, USDC, WBTC. Why are some NFTs expensive and others not? NFTs are very new to the blockchain ecosystem and are still in their infancy. It is an emerging market meaning there is no historical data or precedence that can assist in determining the value of an NFT. NFT projects that started at the beginning of the market boom have garnered legitimacy purely because they had a first-mover advantage. These “established” NFT projects have also had the opportunity to improve and learn from the issues that have plagued the NFT market and have, in such a way, made themselves more valuable. When the NFT boom took flight, many people realized profits beyond their wildest dreams, creating a space for opportunists to take advantage of the market growth. While some NFTs can be considered digital art, created by an artist who recognizes the value NFTs can add to the creative space, others have been made purely out of greed and a need to exploit the immense market growth. NFT projects that stem from greed and exploitation often have no value and are ultimately garbage. Is the Baby Doge Army Collection Over or Underpriced? It is difficult to determine whether NFTs from the Baby Doge Army collection is overpriced or underpriced. Making such an assessment will become clearer when the market for NFTs and metaverses develops more actively. The price is also influenced by how the Baby Doge Army collection is developed and promoted by its creators and community.

It's no surprise that more people are getting hooked on cryptocurrency trading. With its low entry threshold and high volatility, it's an easy and accessible way to increase the level of life. But it’s a real surprise that many investors prefer not Bitcoin but rather its competitors. Accessibility made cryptocurrency trading available to a wide range of users, from seasoned investors to those just starting out. The volatility of cryptocurrencies may seem daunting to some investors, but for others, it's part of the thrill. After all, as Mark Zuckerberg once said, "the biggest risk is not taking a risk; in a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." That means that in a world that's changing quickly, taking risks can be the key to success. For many investors, the potential rewards of cryptocurrency trading are worth the risk. Is Bitcoin the Only One? At first, cryptocurrency traders tasted the potential of trading digital assets with Bitcoin. But a dozen years after its launch, Bitcoin is no longer the only one in town. In fact, there are thousands of different digital assets out there, each with its own unique features and potential for growth. That's why many cryptocurrency traders are constantly on the lookout for the next big thing – a new cryptocurrency that could repeat the success of Bitcoin. One of the main reasons traders are looking for new cryptocurrencies is that Bitcoin's volatility decreased over the years. While it's still a popular choice for many investors, some traders want something with more potential for price swings. That's where new cryptocurrencies come in. By investing in a relatively new digital asset, traders can take advantage of the potential for rapid growth – or, of course, the risk of rapid decline. It's a game, but for those who are willing to take the risk, the potential rewards can be huge. So whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, keep an eye out for the next big cryptocurrency – it could be the key to your success. But how can we figure out where the next big boom is gonna hit? Well, from what we've seen, crypto is pretty sensitive to new tech and all the buzz that comes with it. Lately, everyone's been hyped up about web3 projects thanks to all the talk about the future of the internet. And let's not forget about the demand for ChatGPT, which has sent the rates of AI-associated cryptos soaring. With all that in mind, who knows what could be next? Maybe e-commerce will be the next hot spot since it's the industry that could finally bring crypto to the masses. Towards the end of 2022, PLCU - the native coin of the comprehensive PLC Ultima blockchain ecosystem - broke into the top 10 list of most popular cryptocurrencies in India. As you may recall, India is a rapidly developing country with a vast population that's showing keen interest in crypto assets. What the sluggish advanced economies might catch up to someday, is already happening in emerging markets like India. The PLC Ultima ecosystem, run by Alex Reinhardt - a prominent investor, blockchain guru, and entrepreneur - is all about making blockchain and cryptocurrencies available for everyone and breaking down barriers that hold people back from this stunning world. The ecosystem's energy-efficient blockchain houses a ton of services, from simple payment systems to crowdfunding and marketplace platforms. PlatinDealmarketplace, for example, helps new merchants and brands expand quickly and easily into new markets. It's not just good for business owners, though - customers get access to classifieds, digital stores, and the ability to use crypto to buy stuff. By March, almost 2,000,000 people from over 120 countries worldwide have already joined the ecosystem. Since the community is the real governor of the decentralized ecosystem, anyone with a smartphone and internet can get in on the action. There are two coins in the ecosystem, PLCU and PLCUX, and they're joined at the hip. PLCU is used for payment and trading, while PLCUX is used for minting (i.e. generating) new coins. To join the community, just sign up for an account and download the Ultima Farm and Ultima Wallet apps. If you freeze your PLCUX coins, you'll get rewarded each month based on how many coins you froze. It's way cheaper and more efficient than mining, and you don't need fancy equipment to do it.
