Key Cryptocurrencies To Watch Closely – 1inch (1INCH), Nexo (NEXO
There are gems of tokens that have been overshadowed by bigger, well-established tokens. However, we'll be highlighting some of these lesser-known tokens that have shown significant growth potential. They include Nexo (NEXO), Pomerdoge (POMD), and 1inch (1INCH) tokens.

Key Cryptocurrencies To Watch Closely – 1inch (1INCH), Nexo(NEXO), and Pomerdoge (POMD)
The once bearish trend experienced by the 1inch (1NCH) token has flattened and it is looking set to go on a bullish rally. This is evident in the stats that show that it has seen a slight move towards a positive price action after suffering a 2.45% loss in price value in the last 7 days. 1INCH currently trades at $0.30 with a 24-hour trading volume of $14 million.
After falling to an all-time low of $0.25 on June 15, 2023, 1inch is bouncing back at the moment, with the coin gaining 3% in the last 30 days. Crypto price prediction platforms have projected that 1inch could exceed the $0.5 benchmark very soon.
Right now, analysts reckon that 1 inch is on the right track to surge in the coming days and weeks.
Investors Confident in the Resurgence of Nexo (NEXO) Despite Current Dip in Price
Notwithstanding the ongoing declining price action of the Nexo (NEXO) token, investors and analysts are confident that the token will rally anytime soon. For context, It has lost 1.93% in price value in the last 24 hours and trades at $0.63 as of the time of writing.
However, the trading volume of Nexo in the last 24 hours shows that the market activity of the token gained 8.88% to see a market return of over $1.90M.
A further look at the price chart shows that Nexo is 3.69% better off in price value than it was in the last 30 days and has only lost 0.58% of its price value in the last 7 days. As such, Nexo may well be a shrewd investment option.
Most crypto price prediction platforms already predicted that Nexo will hit the $1 benchmark in the year. If the coin breaks the current resistance level, we could witness a rally very soon.

Bitstamp To Suspend Tokens Identified As Securities By SEC
In a major decision taken on the 8th of August, Bitstamp has announced that it would suspend trading for several cryptocurrencies identified as securities by the SEC in cases against Binance and Coinbase.
The impacted tokens will no longer be available to trade by the end of August.
Bitstamp Moves To Suspend Tokens
According to the announcement, several prominent cryptocurrencies will soon be blocked, rendering US-based users unable to trade them. These include Axie Infinity (AXS), Decentraland (MANA), Chiliz (CHZ), Near Protocol (NEAR), Polygon (MATIC), The Sandbox (SAND), and Solana (SOL). As per the company’s announcement, after delisting the above-mentioned cryptocurrencies, the platform will offer only 30 listed cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrency exchange urged users to execute all trades involving these tokens by the 29th of August, following which they will become unavailable.
“Update for our US users Starting the 29th of August: AXS, CHZ, MANA, MATIC, NEAR, SAND, and SOL trading will be halted after evaluating recent market developments. Execute any open trades. Holding and withdrawing tokens afterwards will be unaffected.”
According to the exchange, US trading of the tokens will be permanently disabled after the 29th of August. However, customers can still withdraw and hold the tokens after the date.
“We kindly request our users to promptly execute any desired buy or sell orders involving the affected assets before the 29th of August, 2023. After this deadline, trading activities related to AXS, CHZ, MANA, MATIC, NEAR, SAND, and SOL will be permanently disabled on the Bitstamp platform.”
“Recent Developments” Led To Decision
The announcement pointed at recent market developments as the reason behind the suspension of trading of the cryptocurrencies mentioned. While the firm did not provide a concrete reason, all of the tokens mentioned in the announcement have been alleged to be unregistered securities by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Securities and Exchange Commission identified the cryptocurrencies in question as unregistered securities in separate complaints against Binance and Coinbase.
However, Bitstamp has not delisted other assets mentioned in the cases against Binance and Coinbase. These assets include Nexo (NEXO), Algorand (ALGO), and Cardano (ADA).
Other Platforms Have Also Delisted Assets
The allegations against the tokens made by the Securities and Exchange Commission have yet to be proven in a court of law. However, other platforms have voluntarily delisted specific assets mentioned by the SEC in the cases. In recent months, several platforms, including Bakkt, Robinhood, and Revolut, have delisted Polygon (MATIC), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL).
The platforms seem to have delisted these three cryptocurrencies because they are among the largest assets which the SEC targets. Following the developments, projects such as The Sandbox have also started mandating Know Your Customer (KYC) verification for SAND staking. According to the SEC, a total of 68 cryptocurrencies are unregistered securities.
Crypto Projects Reject Claims
However, cryptocurrency projects have repeatedly rejected the claims made by the Securities and Exchange Commission, either directly or indirectly. The Solana Foundation, in a statement, has said that it categorically disagrees with the SEC’s observations. Cardano’s parent company IOHK has also denied ADA’s security status. Meanwhile, Polygon Labs has said its operations were focused outside the US, beyond the reach and jurisdiction of the SEC. From the looks of things, it appears that actions taken around the assets in question are precautionary, and it remains to be seen if the SEC will take any action against the tokens or platforms in the future.
SEC Action Against BinanceAnd Coinbase
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s suits against Coinbase and Binance have led to an uncertain future for major listed tokens. The regulatory body’s two lawsuits against the crypto exchanges in question have cast a long shadow on the 19 tokens mentioned in both filings. The SEC has accused Binance and Coinbase of offering unregistered securities to the public through their respective platforms. The suit once again brings into focus lingering questions about whether cryptos are a security, commodity, or otherwise.

LeetSwap And $BALD Rug Plague Coinbase Ecosystem
Decentralized exchange LeetSwap, built on Coinbase’s Layer 2 blockchain Base, recently suspended trading due to fears of a potential exploit. Furthermore, Coinbase and Base are also dealing with the aftermath of the SEC’s lawsuit.
LeetSwap Halts Trading Amid Security Concerns
Trouble is brewing in the Coinbase ecosystem as multiple challenges loom ahead. On the one hand, is the BALD coin crash, which has prompted leading DEX on the Base blockchain, LeetSwap, to halt trading. The DEX tweeted that they detected a security vulnerability in their factory, leading them to suspect compromised pool liquidity. As a result, trading was temporarily stopped for further investigation.
PeckShield, a crypto-security firm, reported that approximately 340 ETH (equivalent to $630,000) had been exploited from liquidity pairs on Base, highlighting the severity of the situation.
Bald Memecoin's Crash
Shortly before the trading pause, Bald, a popular memecoin, experienced a significant crash in value. The token's developer withdrew a substantial sum of 6,800 ETH ($12.5 million) from the liquidity pool on LeetSwap. This sudden move raised eyebrows and further added to the challenges faced by Base's leading DEX.
Base and Coinbase's Regulatory Woes
Base, as an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) chain, empowers developers to build decentralized apps using Coinbase's products, users, and tools. However, Coinbase has been dealing with its own regulatory challenges after falling in the crosshairs of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The latter has demanded Coinbase suspend all cryptocurrency trading except for Bitcoin, and upon questioning the decision, the regulatory body filed a lawsuit against the exchange.
SEC’s Lawsuit Against Coinbase
According to the lawsuit filed by the SEC, the regulatory body deemed 13 assets on Coinbase, including Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), Cardano (ADA), FIL, SAND, AXS, ICP, NEAR, CHZ, DASH, VGX, and NEXO, as securities. The SEC also accused Coinbase of failing to register as a broker, clearing agency, or national securities exchange, indicating that the exchange was not adhering to the established disclosure regime for the U.S. securities markets.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the exchange had limited choices in dealing with the SEC's demands. Following the regulator's instructions would have set a dangerous precedent and conveyed the wrong message. Therefore, it found itself caught between compliance and potential harm to the cryptocurrency industry's principles.
Issues Pile Up For Coinbase
LeetSwap's trading halt and the exploits on Base's liquidity pairs have raised serious concerns about security vulnerabilities on the Coinbase-backed blockchain. Additionally, Bald's dramatic crash and Coinbase's ongoing legal battle with the SEC have further complicated matters for the platform. The situation highlights the challenges and uncertainties surrounding the crypto industry's regulatory landscape and emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and security measures to protect investors and users alike.

SEC Asked Coinbase To Trade Only In Bitcoin Before Suing Exchange
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had asked Coinbase to halt all cryptocurrency trading, except that of Bitcoin.
According to Armstrong, the SEC had requested this prior to suing the exchange for failing to register as a broker.
Delist Every Asset Apart From Bitcoin
The Coinbase CEO made the revelation in a detailed interview, stating that the Securities and Exchange Commission had made the request before suing the exchange. Armstrong added that the regulator approached the exchange, stating that they viewed every other asset apart from Bitcoin as a security and asking Coinbase to delist assets it viewed as securities. When Coinbase asked how the SEC came to that conclusion, the regulator declined to explain its interpretation of the law. Armstrong stated,
“They came back to us, and they said… we believe every asset other than Bitcoin is a security. And, we said, well, how are you coming to that conclusion, because that’s not our interpretation of the law. And they said, we’re not going to explain it to you; you need to delist every asset other than Bitcoin.”
According to the lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Coinbase, it viewed 13 assets as securities. The assets in question are Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), Cardano (ADA), FIL, SAND, AXS, ICP, NEAR, CHZ, DASH, VGX, and NEXO. The agency also accused Coinbase of failing to register with it as a broker, clearing agency, or national securities exchange. This, according to the SEC, meant that Coinbase was dodging the disclosure regime established by the United States Congress for the US securities markets.
Not Much Choice At That Point
Armstrong added that the exchange did not have much choice at the time. He added that if Coinbase had followed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions, it would set a wrong precedent and send out the wrong message. Coinbase accepting the SEC’s instructions would have meant that most businesses and entities in the crypto space would have been deemed to be operating outside the law unless they had registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Armstrong added that delisting every asset apart from Bitcoin would have effectively ended the crypto industry in the United States.
“We really didn’t [did not] have a choice at that point; delisting every asset other than Bitcoin, which by the way, is not what the law says, would have essentially meant the end of the crypto industry in the US. It kind of made it an easy choice… let’s [let us] go to court and find out what the court says.”
Ripple-SEC Case Provides Some Regulatory Clarity
The crypto industry in the United States has been asking the Securities and Exchange Commission for better regulatory clarity. While the SEC has not been forthcoming, the recent SEC-Ripple case ruling brought some much-needed clarity on the subject of security and non-security. In the Ripple-SEC case, the judge ruled that XRP is not a security. The asset’s sale on exchanges, distribution to developers, sales by employees, and distribution to charities were all off the radar.
However, the judge ruled that institutional sales of the XRP token were in violation of federal securities laws. After Ripple’s partial victory, many experts and industry watchers believe the ruling would benefit the Coinbase lawsuit.
SEC And Coinbase: The Case So Far
The Securities and Exchange Commission had sued Coinbase in June, alleging that the exchange allowed investors and traders to purchase, sell, and trade crypto asset securities. The filing stated that Coinbase merged three functions typically separated in traditional markets: clearing agencies, brokers, and exchanges.
“Coinbase has never registered with the SEC as a broker, national securities exchange, or clearing agency, thus evading the disclosure regime that Congress has established for our securities markets.”
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed its lawsuit against Coinbase in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleged that the exchange violated several registration provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the securities offering registration provisions included in the Securities Act of 1933. At the time, Gurbir S. Grewal, the director of the SEC’s enforcement division, had stated,
“You simply can’t ignore the rules because you don’t like them or because you’d prefer different ones: the consequences for the investing public are far too great.”

Cryptocurrency Lender Nexo Dissolves Two UK Units
Troubled crypto lender Nexo has taken steps to dismantle two of its subsidiaries in the UK.
Bloomberg reports cryptocurrency lender Nexo is closing two of its units in the United Kingdom as it faces legal troubles in Bulgaria for its alleged involvement in illegal activities.
According to co-founder Antoni Trenchev, the London-based applied to dissolve Nexo Financial Services Ltd. and Nexo Clearing and Custody Ltd. as part of a “restructuring” plan.
Trenchev said the firm will not consider leaving the UK in its entirety but is “rethinking” how it goes about “servicing clients.”
Nexo Under Investigation Elsewhere in Europe
Nexo is currently the subject of a large-scale investigation in Bulgaria relating to allegations of money laundering, computer fraud, tax offences and various other crimes. Bulgarian authorities raided the lender’s offices in January, and prosecutors claim that around $94 billion has been processed by Nexo’s platform over the past five years.
Prosecutors added that there is evidence that at least of the lender’s users has been declared a financier of illegal and terrorist activities. At the time, Nexo was reportedly cooperating with investigations.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged the platform with failing to register the sale and offer of its crypto asset lending product. Nexo agreed to pay a penalty totalling $45 million to settle the charges.
$22.5 million was paid as a penalty for its unregistered offer, with an additional $22.5 million in fines to settle similar charges brought by state regulatory authorities.
Nexo came under fire from US regulators in eight states for allegedly offering its product without registering it as securities and for not properly disclosing the products to customers.
