ORET Token(ORET)

A standalone blockchain, Celo is looking to migrate to become a layer-2 network atop Ethereum. The months-long selection process has started to look like "The Bachelorette," with teams behind the Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and zkSync networks all vying to win the technology mandate.

The nine-year-old project, one of the earliest major blockchains, is getting a facelift to incorporate "smart contracts," that theoretically could attract new applications and users – and potentially more demand for the XLM token.

According to data from the Token Unlocks web app, the unlock will occur this coming September 1, 2023. These 1.15 billion tokens will be worth approximately $57.5 million as of writing, as HBAR is currently trading at $0.05 according data from CoinMarketCap. Data also indicates that roughly 23.9% of the tokens will be allocated for ecosystem and open source development, 22.3% for purchase agreements, 14.8% on network governance and operations, and 7.7% for initial development costs and licensing. Despite initial challenges towards the end of the Q1 2023 due to an exploit in the Hedera mainnet, HBAR has seen a surge over the past two months. This is due to the recent integration of Hedera’s instant payment platform Dropp into the U.S. Federal Reserve’s FedNow platform as a service provider. FedNow introduced Dropp as an alternative to credit card payments, offering merchants the ability to accept small-value digital purchases without the burden of costly transaction fees. Dropp supports micropayments using HBAR, as well as the U.S. dollar and Circle's USDC, providing a pay-by-bank option for these transactions. Hedera has prided itself as the only public ledger to use the hashgraph consensus, making it a decentralized, open-source, proof-of-stake, EVM-compatible public ledger, using a leaderless consensus algorithm. This confers the network with the highest level of security and performance theoretically possible. Recerntly, it has also integrated ChatGPT for a more streamlined asset management and monitoring. It has also seen its userbase jump almost 300% from 3,500 to 13,500 by Q2 2023, year to-date, signalling . While the current metrics for the HBAR token warrant a cautious optimism, the potentialities latent in its integration of AI and the blockchain remain areas for speculation and enthusiasm. Investors and users should keep an eye on Hedera’s future plans after the unlock. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Despite assurances, discrepancies between Cardano's theoretical network capacity and its utility remain.

Polygon’s Mudit Gupta said that despite moving fast in theoretical security, the crypto space is “so far behind” when it comes to practical security.

Pietro Poretti, the city of Lugano’s director of the economic development division, said that their goal is to allow people to live in the city using only Bitcoin.

The Multichain MPC bridge platform has seen abnormally large outflows, fueling concerns that the platform could be a target for a multi-million dollar exploit. According to the available information, over $130 million worth of crypto has been moved out from the bridge platform. Huge Outflows From Multichain The outflows first came to light on the 6th of July, when observers noticed that $102 million worth of crypto was withdrawn from the Multichain Fantom bridge on the Ethereum side. Additionally, $666,000 worth of Dogecoin and $5 million from Moonriver were also withdrawn. Additionally, 7214 Wrapped Ether (WETH) tokens worth $13.6 million, 1024 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) worth $31 million, and $58 million worth of the USDC stablecoin were withdrawn from the Fantom bridge’s Ethereum smart contract. The total value of the cryptocurrency removed by the end of the day stood at over $100 million. Additionally, the Dogecoin bridge’s Ethereum contract saw a withdrawal of around $666,000, which accounts for over 86% of its total deposits. As a result, the bridge currently has only around $100,000 worth of assets remaining. Over $5.8 million worth of USDT and USDC were also withdrawn from the Multichain Moonriver contracts on Ethereum, with the Moonriver bridge contracts now having only around $700,000 remaining on them. Possible Exploit? Several on-chain investigators took to Twitter to warn the community that the event could be a possible exploit. Curve Finance was among the first to warn users that Multichain was, in all probability, hacked and that they should revoke all approvals. “Multichain likely hacked. Exit all multichain assets. Good idea to revoke approvals to multichain bridge if you had any.” Blockchain security firm PeckShield tagged Multichain in a Twitter post, highlighting the Phantom chain transactions and urging the team to take a closer look. Another commentator remarked that the entire fiasco looked like another massive hack, while On-chain investigator Spreek posted the Dogecoin transactions, urging the team to look at the transactions. However, Multichain did not respond to the tweets in question. Meanwhile, Fantom Foundation CEO Michael Kong stated that the Fantom team was looking into the issue. Multichain Finally Responds Multichain finally responded to users in a later tweet, stating that the movement of funds was indeed abnormal, and the team was “unsure of what was happening and is currently investigating the issue.” Multichain stated on Twitter, “The lockup assets on the Multichain MPC address have been moved to an unknown address abnormally. The team is not sure what happened and is currently investigating. It is recommended that all users suspend the use of Multichain services and revoke all contract approvals related to Multichain.” Multichain’s Growing Issues Multichain is a multi-party computation (MPC) bridging network, enabling users to bridge assets between chains. When a user wishes to bridge an asset, Multichain first confirms if the assets have been locked on the first chain. Once confirmed, the network mints the derivative assets on the second chain. When a user wishes to make a withdrawal, the process repeats itself, but in reverse. It will first confirm if the derivative assets have been destroyed on the second chain before releasing the locked assets back on the first chain. Multichain’s team claims that the cryptographic keys controlling the entire process are split into shards and then distributed throughout the network. This should, theoretically, prevent any entity from making unauthorized withdrawals. However, Multichain has been in the news for all the wrong reasons after suffering unspecified technical problems over the past few weeks. The team announced on the 31st of May that the CEO had gone missing, with the network suffering a multitude of problems due to unforeseeable circumstances, leading to significant transaction delays. Binance also announced that it was halting the withdrawal of some Multichain derivative tokens due to network issues on Multichain.

Cybersecurity firm Unciphered has claimed that it managed to hack the hugely popular Trezor T hardware wallet manufactured by Satoshi Labs. The Trezor T hardware wallet is one of the most popular wallets in the market today. A Potential Hardware Vulnerability? Unciphered showcased the hack in a YouTube demonstration, claiming it could extract the hardware wallet’s mnemonic seed phrase by exploiting a hardware vulnerability. In the video, Unciphered is able to dismantle the hardware before extracting the seed phrase or private key. However, the hack requires the physical possession of the wallet, along with specialized equipment. Furthermore, the cybersecurity firm also claimed that there is no way to fix the vulnerability that facilitates the hack without initiating a complete recall of all Trezor T wallets. In the video, the team at Unciphered claimed they developed an “in-house exploit” that enabled them to extract the wallet’s firmware. Co-founder of Unciphered, Eric Michaud, stated that by leveraging specialized GPU chips, the team was able to crack the Trezor T hardware wallet’s pin seed phrase. Michaud explains in the video, “We uploaded the firmware we extracted onto our high-performance computing cracking clusters. We have about 10 GPUs, and after some time, we extracted the keys.” Hardware wallets are used to store private keys offline in an air-gapped environment. Because these wallets keep the private keys offline, they are generally considered highly secure. However, Unciphered has stated that the hardware security mechanisms put in place in the Trezor T wallet could theoretically be bypassed if any hacker or malicious individual gained possession of a Trezor T wallet. An Old Vulnerability? Unciphered’s demonstration of the vulnerability in Trezor T hardware wallets resulted in speculation that it had rediscovered an old vulnerability known for years. However, Unciphered denied this, stating that the old vulnerability in question had been patched in 2019. According to the firm, the vulnerability and the method to exploit it were developed in-house. This is not the first time Unciphered has successfully retrieved seed phrases from a hardware wallet. In February, the cybersecurity company demonstrated a similar hack of a popular hardware wallet, OneKey. In the video related to OneKey, Unciphered showed how it exploited the lack of encryption between the hardware wallet’s CPU and the secure element through a field programmable gate array. This was able to intercept all communications between the secure element and the processor. “The FPGA is a high-speed processor also known as a field programmable gate array, allowing us to iterate through different algorithms, bypass the wallet’s security and extract the mnemonics.” Trezor Responds Trezor responded to Unciphered’s demonstration of the exploit and stated that it had quite a few similarities with the Read Protection Downgrade (RDP) vulnerability. This vulnerability was discovered by researchers from Kraken Security Labs and impacted both Trezor One and Trezor Model T. In short, this implied that Trezor was aware of the vulnerability. Chief technology officer at Trezor, Tomáš Sušánka, stated, “This appears to be a vulnerability called an RDP downgrade attack, and as communicated on our blog in early 2020, RDP downgrade attacks require the physical theft of a device and extremely sophisticated technological knowledge and advanced equipment. Even with the above, Trezors can be protected by a strong passphrase, which adds another layer of security that renders an RDP downgrade useless.” The company further added that it had taken steps to resolve the issue and had developed a new secure element for hardware wallets in collaboration with its sister firm, Tropic Square. Hardware Wallets Not As Safe As They Claim To Be? With their promise of keeping seed phrases and access codes offline and safe from the prying eyes of hackers, hardware wallets have long been considered the pinnacle of safety when it comes to storing digital assets. Their popularity grew even further with the collapse of major centralized exchanges such as FTX, with investors and users opting for self-custody of their assets. However, recent events have put a considerable dent in the reputation of hardware wallets. One of the primary events that led to the confidence crisis in hardware wallets was the announcement of Ledger Recover. Ledger’s Recover feature set the cat among the pigeons as it sparked concerns that third parties could gain access to private keys, allowing them access to the crypto held in the wallets. Ledger’s response did little to calm frayed nerves and led to considerable backlash for Ledger. Eventually, Ledger was forced to postpone the feature’s release and open-source the code for transparency. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

LayerZero Labs and Immunefi have announced their collaboration to launch an unprecedented $15 million bug bounty program. The initiative sets a new benchmark in the crypto industry, surpassing the previous record holder, MakerDAO’s $10 million bug bounty. LayerZero Labs, renowned for its omnichain interoperability protocol LayerZero, and Immunefi, a leader in bug bounty and security services, have partnered to stimulate the work of smart contract information security researchers and white hat hackers in identifying potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors on blockchain protocols such as LayerZero. The sheer size of this bounty sets it apart from LayerZero’s previous initiatives and underlines its prioritization of smart contract security. The reward fund is earmarked to come from the equity entity of LayerZero Labs. LayerZero's CEO, Bryan Pellegrino, emphasized the commitment to security over all other facets: “The security of [a] protocol comes before anything else.” Immunefi, on the other hand, is no stranger to the security challenges of the crypto sector. Providing security services for over $60 billion in user funds across a wide range of crypto-based projects and blockchain firms such as SushiSwap, Optimism, Polygon, Synthetix, and Chainlink, among others, Immunefi has paid out over $75 million in bug bounties to date. LayerZero's recent $120 million Series B funding round has catapulted its valuation to $3 billion. Its distinctive messaging protocol allows for various types of message exchanges between blockchains, eliminating the need for intermediaries. LayerZero currently connects over 30 mainnet blockchains, including two non-Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVMs) and Aptos. However, the crypto world hasn't been without its fair share of financial damages of late. According to Immunefi’s Crypto Losses 2022 report, over $3.9 billion was "lost" last year. Notably, this represents a 51.2% reduction compared to 2021's loss figures. Specifically, $3.77 billion of the 2022 losses resulted from 134 hacking incidents, and fraud accounted for another $175 million lost over 34 incidents. LayerZero, launched in March 2022, has seen a transaction volume exceeding $15 billion within its first 14 months. Demonstrating its stringent adherence to security measures, LayerZero has not experienced a security exploit or hack since inception. Last year, the blockchain infrastructure firm invested around $5 million in auditing to ensure the security of its code before its release to the public. While the overall crypto market has seen fewer losses recently, the actual amounts involved are still substantial. For instance, in March, a massive $200 million was pilfered from the crypto lending platform, Euler Finance. This exploit, albeit substantial, only ranks among the top 20 in recent crypto history. Security stands as a paramount concern for anyone involved in the crypto space. As Pellegrino asserts: “For anyone building in the space, security should be the priority above all else. If you don’t have good security, eventually you will be hacked.” The bug bounty program offers a substantial maximum reward of $15 million for the discovery of a high-severity vulnerability. The precise payout is determined based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System, which assesses the impact of the identified vulnerability. Bug reports submitted to the program need to include a viable proof-of-concept (PoC) that demonstrates a tangible impact on the scoped assets. The terms explicitly state that theoretical explanations or statements alone cannot be accepted as PoCs – concrete code is required. The program outlines that critical smart contract vulnerabilities found on major blockchains and Layer 2 protocols such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Fantom may garner a reward of either $250,000 or 10% of the endangered asset's value at the time of reporting, whichever is higher. For all other chains, the payout for critical vulnerabilities starts at $25,000. Rewards for non-critical vulnerabilities are evaluated based on internal criteria.

Some argue that crypto assets could be in demand in a high-interest rates/high inflation environment because they could serve as a store of value, however crypto's track record is too short to prove this, S&P said.

A former Coinbase employee has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of insider trading. The sentencing was carried out by US District Judge Loretta Preska, who sentenced Wahi in the Manhattan Federal Court. The Insider Trading Case Ishan Wahi was arrested in 2022 and charged with insider trading after it was discovered that he was providing his brother and another individual, Sameer Rahmani, with insider information about upcoming listings on Coinbase. According to authorities probing the case, Wahi’s brother and the unnamed individual made over $1 million between June 2021 and April 2022, thanks to information given by Wahi. During the hearing, Judge Preska stated that Wahi’s scheme involved “massive abuse of Coinbase’s trust.” The judge added that Wahi and the co-defendant’s attempts to cover up their actions showed they knew they were wrong in carrying on with the scheme. The brother, Nikhil Wahi, earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of wire fraud conspiracy and was sentenced to 10 months in prison. Meanwhile, Ramani has evaded the authorities thus far. Wahi Expresses Remorse At the hearing, Ishan Wahi expressed regret and remorse over his actions and their impact on friends and family, several of whom were in attendance in court. Wahi stated during the hearing that he had made a huge mistake, one that would follow him for the rest of his life. Noah Solowiejczyk, the assistant US Attorney, contended that Wahi’s actions were not a one-off mistake and instead were a stream of tips to his brother spanning over ten months. Wahi also asked the court to give him a sentence no longer than his brothers and cited examples of other insider trading cases that resulted in little or no prison time for the people involved. However, prosecutors called for Wahi to be jailed for over three years to deter other individuals from misusing corporate information. Currently, prosecutors are able to charge fraud in cases where deception was utilized to seek financial gain, regardless of the type of asset involved. This allows the United States Justice Department more leeway to go after any crypto-related fraud than its civil counterpart, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC is limited to monitoring the securities markets. In several of its lawsuits, the Securities and Exchange Commission, including one filed against the Wahi brothers, stated that most digital assets are securities. Court papers have shown that the SEC and Ishan Wahi had reached a settlement, while Nikhil Wahi is in talks to reach a settlement. Second Crypto-Related Insider Trading Case This is the second case related to cryptocurrency insider trading brought by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). The first case resulted in a guilty verdict and involved the former head of product at OpenSea, one of the most prominent non-fungible token (NFT) platforms. The guilty verdict was reached on the 3rd of May when Nate Chastain was convicted of wire fraud and money laundering. Chastain used insider knowledge to determine which NFTs were about to be listed on the OpenSea platform, making significant profits in the process. While Chastain has not been sentenced as yet, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 40 years. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

For millions of businesses and their employees globally, remote work is the ‘new normal’. Over the last three years, the migration to this working style has revealed numerous benefits on both sides, such as happier and more productive workforces, as well as employees who enjoy greater flexibility and the death of the commute. Unfortunately, it’s not all rosy. The transition to remote work has created untold challenges for the cybersecurity industry, IT departments, and distributed teams, particularly regarding private and secure communications. With so much work now being done from home, co-working spaces, temporary accommodation, and cafés, the line between personal and professional life has become increasingly blurred. With the same devices often being used for all digital work and leisure activities, it leaves individuals vulnerable to potential privacy breaches. The privacy landscape has evolved and mutated, with newer and uglier threats. Now, it is undeniably more important than ever to prioritize individual sovereignty when maintaining privacy in order to mitigate the potential risks, such as cyberattacks, data breaches, and spying (employee surveillance) that are associated with remote work. One of the most significant video communication breaches in recent times was the Zoom security incident in 2020. The incident involved unauthorized access to Zoom meetings and the stealing of user credentials. Another notable breach was the Microsoft Teams breach in 2021, where hackers could gain access to user accounts via a single sign-on (SSO) system. Insight & Guidance on Personal Privacy for Remote Workers Maintaining privacy and security while working remotely, whether in your own country or abroad as a Digital Nomad (as they are commonly referred to), requires a great deal of awareness and practical strategies to combat malicious digital entities. You need to think about three things: your data, your communications, and your activities. These are the three most poignant areas that leave you exposed, especially in a remote work environment where you are theoretically changing wi-fi networks more frequently (if using cafés, temporary accommodation, and co-working spaces). So, how can you effectively navigate the privacy landscape? It all starts with self-awareness and understanding the privacy risks and potential threats. Once you understand the risks, you’re more likely to take actions to protect yourself, such as the use of end-to-end encryption tools. Apps such as Telegram or Signal for messaging, Relayz for video calls, and ProtonMail for emails are all leveraging end-to-end encryption to protect their users. With the right knowledge and tools in place, you should next consider some of the low-hanging fruit for personal privacy and protection, such as strong passwords and two-factor authentication. These, typically used in tandem, can stop unwanted or unauthorized access to your accounts. You’ll want to secure your home network too, keep any hardware or software up to date, make the password impossible to guess, and, depending on the nature of your work and activities, make use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) too. If you are constantly on the move as a nomadic remote worker, you might want to look at portable hardware for guaranteeing a secure internet connection, instead of trusting potentially harmful and compromised public wi-fi networks. The final piece of guidance seems like common sense, but in fact, it’s the way that people most frequently get hacked or have their privacy compromised. Be cautious about what you share online. Personal details, your home address, bank account information, your passport or ID cards - they can all be used against you. Oversharing is one of the most common ways for your accounts and privacy to be compromised. Your social media accounts are a treasure trove of information. Ultimate Borderless Communications Remote workers, many of whom have the liberty to travel as they work, come to realize that they need borderless solutions with end-to-end encryption. This is especially true for video communications, due to the way in which video is now commonly used by distributed teams to keep in touch regarding work and projects. Video calls have become particularly vulnerable to privacy breaches, with the major comms providers simply not doing enough to guarantee user safety. Fortunately, Relayz uses end-to-end encryption to prioritize privacy, security, and user experience in its communications solution. Relayz is a decentralized communication platform designed for the Web3 era, offering hyper-secure and privacy-preserving video conferencing for the masses. Built on blockchain technology, Relayz delivers quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption and industry-leading HD video quality, all wrapped up in a user-friendly interface. Relayz was created by a team of industry experts and developers who recognized the shortcomings of traditional video communication products and developed a blockchain-based rival technology that overcomes them. For remote workers and digital nomads, Relayz appears to provide the privacy, security, and convenience needed for confident and confidential communications. Conversations and data are protected from potential privacy breaches, while user experience and interface are constantly being optimized for maximum usability. The video communications market has a new major player. Don’t Panic, Simply Prioritize Privacy Solutions In an increasingly digital world, privacy and security are paramount, especially for the growing number of remote workers and digital nomads. By understanding the risks, utilizing best practices, and leveraging technology solutions like Relayz, it's possible to safeguard personal information and protect sensitive data from prying eyes. Whether you're communicating with colleagues or conducting business on the go, secure end-to-end encrypted video calls, secure wi-fi networks, and strong passwords should be a fundamental part of your work toolkit. So, the question remains: are you doing enough to protect your privacy as a remote worker? As the world of work continues to evolve, it's up to each individual to take responsibility for their own privacy and security, to ensure they can work confidently and securely, no matter where they are.

A savvy Crypto investor knows when to buy, sell or hold their coins. More importantly, know vitality&mdash;when to buy and what to avoid. Some old guards like Monero (XMR) and Dogecoin (DOGE) have made investors have a run for their money&mdash;making them keep burning their fingers. It has made investors want to diversify their portfolio with presale gems with potential growth of up to 4,000%. With newcomer Sparklo predicted to have a bright future in a highly volatile market, investors are waiting in anticipation of its launch. What is it that makes a presale gem like Sparklo have so much promise? Dogecoin (DOGE) Experiences the Highest Volatility Even with great social media influences, Dogecoin (DOGE) has consistently plummeted, with a new all-time high of 14%&mdash;this was after Platformer reported that Twitter stopped the development of a crypto wallet. Looking at where it is now, from its all-time high price, it&rsquo;s no doubt that DOGE has crashed on the market by about 92%. Dogecoin (DOGE) was at its peak when its breakout coincided with Elon Musk&rsquo;s Twitter deal. The acquisition deal was a positive development for the coin. Elon has suggested integrating Dogecoin (DOGE) to become a meme coin. It sounds great, but it's still in theoretical development. Some experts believe that having a future Crypto Twitter is not a bad idea. After Elon acquired Twitter, Dogecoin (DOGE) prices went up for a while. But, due to a Platformer report, Dogecoin (DOGE) is among the worst performers on the Crypto Charts. >>>> BUY SPARKLO TOKENS <<< Price Predictions Don't Show Confidence for Monero (XMR) Monero (XMR) provides privacy-centric proof of work functionality to ensure that transactions for users are private and non-traceable. Initially, it attracted investors who wanted 100% privacy when transacting. Far from that, it had many exciting use cases. Lately, that doesn&rsquo;t seem to be the case, as price prediction shows XMR on a downward spiral, just after the launch of Monero (XMR), which saw its peak at $542.33 hovered to less than 10% of its peak. When you look at its bullish runs in 2021, you'll notice that Monero (XMR) failed to hit its all-time peak and was trading below $480. There's no confidence as far as bull runs are concerned in the future. It's unlikely Monero (XMR) will recover any time soon. Therefore, traders are advised to look for alternative coins with a brighter future. Sparklo (SPRK) Expected to Shoot to the Moons As an alternative investment plan, Sparklo will give traders the best opportunity to trade and invest in fractionalized NFTs backed by Gold, Silver and Platinum&mdash;meaning that investors will have a fair chance of investing in NFTs representing real luxury assets. More and more investors are waiting in anticipation for its launch since it offers opportunities to invest in precious metals&mdash;less risky assets. It's predicted that Sparklo will have a 4000% increase in price after launch&mdash;a reason to start buying now to make maximum profits. Moreover, with its growth potential, SPRK will end up becoming the blue-chip Crypto. It gives you the best chance to get a future blue-chip Cryptocurrency at extremely affordable prices. It'll partner with jewellery stores to help bring new products to the market, plus offer great discounts to investors. Worried about safety? Sparklo has measures in place to ensure safety. For starters, it has passed the InterFi network audit and will lock in liquidity for 100 years. In addition to this,Know Your Customer Audit will take place soon enough. With unstable coins like Monero (XMR) not showing signs of making bullish runs, investors should seek out presale gems that have growth potential. With a price of $0.015 that's steadily rising to $0.017 by the end of the week, Sparklo is a fire innovative investment alternative that investors should watch.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has warned that the cryptocurrency exchange faces a multi-year court battle with the SEC. Armstrong also stated that the exchange is considering other options, including leaving the United States, thanks to a lack of regulatory clarity. A Lengthy Court Battle On The Cards The preparation for court proceedings comes after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission warned Coinbase of several potential securities law violations. Coinbase received a Wells notice from the commission on the 22nd of March, indicating possible enforcement action. A Wells notice is typically the final step before the regulator moves ahead with pressing charges. After receiving the notice, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed strong disappointment, stating that the company had not received any clear details from the SEC regarding the violations in question. Armstrong stated, &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve met with them over 30 times in the last year. [&hellip;] [We] never got a single piece of feedback from them about what we can be doing better or differently, and then this Wells notice arrived. I think we&rsquo;re going to have to actually end up going to court to get the clarity we need and create the case law.&rdquo; Armstrong stated that if necessary, Coinbase was prepared to meet the SEC in court and that while litigation was the last resort, going to court may give the company the clarity it requires. &ldquo;We never seek litigation, but it seems, in this case, they have initiated it, and if we need to go to the courts to get the clarity that we need, then we are very prepared to do that.&rdquo; Armstrong also panned the SEC for consistently lacking clarity regarding crypto and companies operating in the crypto space. According to Armstrong, the SEC has failed to uphold its responsibility to the industry and publish a clear rulebook for the space. &ldquo;The regulators&rsquo; job is to publish a clear rulebook and allow that market to be safe but also to flourish in that country, and I think they&rsquo;ve completely abdicated responsibility.&rdquo; Increased Scrutiny Of The Crypto Space In recent months, the Securities and Exchange Commission has significantly increased its scrutiny of the crypto space and the companies operating in it. As a result, it has gone after companies allegedly offering unregistered securities, using enforcement actions to target these firms. One of the most high-profile examples of this is the ongoing lawsuit against Ripple. According to the SEC, Ripple sold unregistered securities, a claim that the company denies. Several cryptocurrency companies have also accused the SEC of a lack of clarity around what is and isn&rsquo;t permissible. However, the SEC has contended that the existing rules are clear enough. Investors Take A &ldquo;Wait And Watch&rdquo; Approach Coinbase is a listed entity in the United States, with its stock up 90% during the current year. However, with recent developments, investors have adopted a &ldquo;wait and watch&rdquo; approach to see how the developments play out. Barclays had stated that the regulatory overhang on the Coinbase stock had increased thanks to the Wells notice. &ldquo;We think the most onerous outcome could be that if various crypto assets are deemed securities, Coinbase would therefore need to register as a securities exchange in order to keep offering trading in those assets. Furthermore, under current securities law, securities exchanges are not permitted to offer services directly to retail customers, and Coinbase could theoretically be forced to separate the exchange and broker portions of the business.&rdquo; Could Coinbase Relocate? Armstrong also revealed that Coinbase is considering relocating from the United States thanks to a lack of regulatory clarity. He added that the company is looking at several other markets, with the United Kingdom as one of the key options thanks to its attempts at positioning itself as a crypto hub. &ldquo;I think if a number of years go by where we don&rsquo;t see regulatory clarity around us ... we may have to consider investing more elsewhere in the world.
