  • Ripple Vs. SEC Update: Is The Lawsuit Finally Coming To An End With A Settlement?

    Apr 23, 2024 | 04:00 am

    The legal battle between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is getting heated and, following recent developments, looks far from over. This is due to the disagreement between both parties on the appropriate remedy for Ripple’s violation of securities laws.  Ripple Proposes $10 Million Fine Instead In opposition to the SEC’s motion for remedies and entry of final judgment, Ripple has proposed that the court should not impose a civil penalty of not more than $10 million. This figure represents a far cry from the SEC’s proposed judgment. The Commission had earlier asked the court to order Ripple to pay the sum of $1,950,768,364 as a pecuniary fine for violations relating to its institutional XRP sales. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Cardano Recovery After ABC Wave Completion, Here’s The Target Specifically, the SEC proposed that Ripple pay a civil penalty of $876,308,712 alongside a prejudgment interest of $198,150,940 and disgorgement of $876,308,712, which represents the profits from its violation of the Securities Act. However, Ripple asked the court to deny the requests for disgorgement and pre-judgment interest and only focus on the civil penalty, which shouldn’t be more than $10 million.  Ripple’s lawyers also laid out arguments as to why the civil penalty should not exceed $10 million. Firstly, they stated that the first tier of the statutory maximum penalties is what applies to this case “because the SEC has never alleged fraud, deceit, or manipulation and has failed in its belated attempt to show that Ripple recklessly disregarded the law.” Therefore, Ripple argued that the Commission’s request for a civil penalty of over $876 million isn’t the appropriate remedy for the first-tier structure. They added that the company’s revenue from pre-complaint institutional sales should be the only earnings considered when deciding on a remedy, which makes a civil penalty of not more than $10 million more appropriate.  Accounting Error From The SEC Ripple suggested that the SEC made an error in calculating the company’s earnings while deciding on the right amount for which the crypto firm should be fined. According to the company’s lawyers, the Commission failed to “analyze or even consider any other categories of Ripple’s expenses.” Meanwhile, they allege that the SEC didn’t offer any evidence or explanation “for why cost if revenue is the only category of Ripple’s deductible expenses.” Simply put, Ripple argues that the regulator, while calculating Ripple’s earnings, didn’t consider how much the company expended before deciding that almost $2 billion was an appropriate fine.  Ripple’s lawyers made this argument while stating that the SEC also erred in relying on the declaration of Andrea Fox, an accountant at the agency. They claim that the SEC never disclosed Fox as a fact or expert witness and that she wasn’t deposed during the initial discovery or supplemental remedies discovery. Therefore, they moved to strike her declaration as an “untimely disclosed expert report.” Ripple Also Opposes SEC’s Proposed Injunction As part of its entry for final judgment, the SEC had asked the court to “permanently” restrain and enjoin Ripple from “directly or indirectly conducting an unregistered offering of Institutional Sales.” Understanding how this could affect their ODL transactions, Ripple has asked the court to deny the request for an injunction.  Related Reading: 3 Major Metrics To Watch Out For That Can Impact Ethereum Prices The crypto firm argues that the Commission has failed to show why an injunction is warranted. Injunctions are usually granted when there is a fear of future violations. Ripple claims that the SEC has failed to show a “reasonable likelihood of future violations.”  The crypto firm’s lawyers further revealed that Ripple has “changed the way it sells XRP and changed its contracts to avoid any future violations.” To show good faith, they submitted a declaration by Ripple’s President, Monica Long, which describes the steps the company has taken to avoid future violations.  XRP price recovers above $0.54 | Source: XRPUSDT on Tradingview.com Featured image from Coinpedia, chart from Tradingview.com

  • Ripple Pushes Back: Challenges SEC's Proposed $2 Billion Fine

    Apr 23, 2024 | 01:31 am

    Ripple Labs has formally opposed the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) proposition to levy a substantial fine of nearly $2 billion against the company linked to the XRP Ledger blockchain. Filed yesterday (Monday), Ripple's opposition challenges the SEC's proposal, which seeks to persuade a New York judge to impose the hefty penalty.Legal Battle between Ripple and SECThe SEC's proposal outlines a fine totalling $1.95 billion, comprising $876 million for disgorgement, $198 million for prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty of $876 million. The basis for the SEC's case stems from allegations that Ripple Labs violated federal securities laws through its institutional sales of XRP. Notably, the court ruled in favour of Ripple on some fronts, dismissing parallel claims by the SEC regarding the legality of XRP sales on exchanges and through algorithms.Ripple's opposition document includes a redacted paragraph concerning its revenue from institutional sales, the income taxes it paid, and its incurred losses. Within this segment, Ripple asserts that it had no gains to disgorge, positioning it as a crucial argument in its defence against the SEC's proposed penalties.“The Court should deny the SEC’s requests for an injunction, for disgorgement, and for pre-judgment interest, and should impose a civil penalty of no more than $10 million,” the filing said.🚨 BREAKING SEC VS.

  • Ripple vs. SEC: Trial Resumes as Crypto Industry Braces for Impact

    Apr 23, 2024 | 00:53 am

    The legal battle between Ripple and the SEC over allegations of illegal sale of cryptocurrencies has reached a crucial step as the long-awaited trial starts today (Tuesday). The SEC first accused Ripple Labs of offering unregistered securities in December 2020. Ripple's defense is based on the argument that its native cryptocurrency, XRP, should not be classified as a security. As the trial begins, the crypto sector is eagerly awaiting the outcome, which could have significant implications for the future of Ripple and the broader digital asset industry, CryptoPotato reported. A Prolonged Legal DisputeThis trial represents an important moment for both parties, as a federal judge will ultimately determine the outcome of the dispute. Despite facing legal challenges, Ripple has garnered some favorable rulings in the run-up to the trial, fueling optimism among its supporters.A favorable ruling for Ripple could boost investor confidence and pave the way for regulatory clarity surrounding XRP. However, a ruling in favor of the SEC could negatively impact Ripple, potentially resulting in regulatory sanctions. It could also cast doubt on the legitimacy of XRP as a digital asset.Recently, the SEC sought nearly $2 billion in fines and penalties from the crypto company, Finance Magnates reported. In a motion filed in court in New York, the SEC requested substantial fines and penalties totaling $1.95 billion from Ripple Labs. Despite initial charges against the firm's CEO and Co-Founder being dropped last October, the company faces scrutiny from the regulators.SEC Demands Financial TransparencyAdditionally, the SEC is pushing Ripple to provide financial statements for the years 2022 and 2023 and documents disclosing the sale of XRP to institutions. The securities watchdog argues that the presiding judge previously identified these sales as unregistered securities offerings. Besides that, the SEC wants a clarification on the proceeds from institutional sales.Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, has criticized the regulator's tactics, accusing it of issuing false and misleading statements aimed at punishing Ripple and intimidating the broader crypto industry. While charges against Ripple's CEO and Co-Founder were dropped last October, the company continues to face scrutiny over its XRP sales. The latest motion filed by the SEC underscores the regulator's determination to hold Ripple accountable for alleged violation of securities regulations.

  • SEC Seeks a Total of $5.3 Billion from Terraform Labs and Do Kwon

    Apr 23, 2024 | 00:43 am

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States is seeking $4.7 billion in disgorgement and prejudgment interest from bankrupt Terraform Labs and its co-founder Do Kwon. The regulator is further seeking civil penalties of $420 million from Terraform and $100 million from Kwon.The Regulator Seeks a Hefty SumThe regulator’s request for monetary recovery and penalties was revealed in a motion it filed last Friday with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The motion also seeks a ban on Kwon from serving as an officer or director of a securities issuer. He is also required to provide complete details of all his accounts and assets.Meanwhile, legal representatives of Terraform and Kwon have filed briefs for potential remedies in the civil case simultaneously, suggesting a maximum monetary penalty of $3.5 million from the company and $800,000 from Kwon.However, the court has yet to rule on the newly filed motion. In an earlier ruling, the US court found Terraform Labs and Kwon liable for fraud in the case brought by the SEC.The trial against Kwon in the US proceeded in his absence.“Defendants have not shown remorse for their conduct, nor can there be any doubt that they are in the position where additional violations are not only possible but likely are already occurring,” the motion by the SEC noted. “The Court should send an unequivocal message that this sort of brazen misconduct, and Defendants’ misbegotten attempt to excuse their behavior by crafting new rules and standards of behavior for crypto markets in contravention of the federal securities laws [...] will not be tolerated.”Kwon’s Fate Hangs in the BalanceKwon was known for building Terraform Labs. However, the two cryptocurrencies of the project, TerraUSD and Luna, collapsed in 2022, resulting in the wipeout of about $37 billion in value. The collapse of the algorithmic stablecoin triggered the shuttering and collapse of several other cryptocurrency companies.He disappeared immediately from public sight after the collapse of his company but was arrested in Montenegro last year while traveling with fake travel documents. Both South Korea and the United States have been trying to extradite him. Meanwhile, he was released from the Montenegro prison on bail due to some technical issues in the extradition ruling against him. This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Solana Meme Coin Massacre: 12 Projects Gone In 30 Days, $27 Million Vanished

    Apr 23, 2024 | 00:30 am

    The Wild West of cryptocurrency just got a little wilder. Solana, the blockchain known for its lightning-fast transactions, recently became a breeding ground for a peculiar phenomenon: the meme coin frenzy. While these dog-themed, cat-inspired, or just plain nonsensical tokens promised moon landings, many investors landed face-first in a crater of lost cash. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Strike Gold: $107 Million Profit From Runes-Fueled Minting Spree Solana Stampede: A Frenzy Of Frivolous Finance Fueled by social media hype and the fear of missing out (FOMO), a stampede of investors poured money into meme coin presales. A project with a name like “I Like This Coin” (LIKE) sprouted like weeds, promising outlandish returns. The “I Like This Coin” story, however, turned out to be a classic case of “buyer beware.” Despite an initial market cap of a staggering $577 million, the token’s value plummeted by a disastrous 90% within a mere eight hours of launch. The party didn’t stop there. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT uncovered a particularly galling trend: a dozen meme coin projects vanished into thin air after their presales, taking a combined $26.7 million from investors with them. Only 1 month has passed and 12 of the Solana presale meme coins have been completely abandoned after raising >180,650 SOL ($26.7M). Would avoid any future projects launched by these founders. https://t.co/J0zFldRIa6 pic.twitter.com/K610MAEPMn — ZachXBT (@zachxbt) April 21, 2024 Solana Slowdown: When Meme Mania Clogs The Network The meme coin craze wasn’t without collateral damage. The massive influx of transactions clogged the Solana network, leading to transaction failures and frustrating delays. This highlighted a fundamental issue with meme coins: they often lack real-world applications and contribute little to the underlying blockchain’s development. Solana’s founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, wasn’t shy about expressing his skepticism. He questioned the very concept of meme coin presales, suggesting they were better suited for projects with strong tech foundations. Yakovenko’s comments resonated with many who saw the meme coin frenzy as a speculative bubble fueled by empty promises and social media hype. Solana is currently trading at $155.69. Chart: TradingView Meme Coin Meltdown: A Cautionary Tale For Crypto Curious Investors The rise and fall of Solana’s meme coins serves as a stark reminder of the inherent risks associated with investing in unregulated, highly speculative assets. While the allure of quick riches might be tempting, the potential for scams and rug pulls (where developers abandon a project after raising funds) is significant. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bloodbath Over? Analysts Say $60,000 Is The Cycle’s Bottom The fallout from the meme coin frenzy could have lasting repercussions. Regulatory bodies might take a closer look at this corner of the crypto world, potentially leading to stricter measures to protect investors.

  • Standard Chartered Reaffirms $150,000 Bitcoin Price Target By Year-End

    Apr 22, 2024 | 23:30 pm

    Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, recently reiterated the bank’s ambitious Bitcoin price target of $150,000 by the end of this year, despite current market volatility and geopolitical tensions. In a comprehensive interview with BNN Bloomberg, Kendrick highlighted the significant role of ETF inflows and upcoming halving events in driving Bitcoin’s price. Why Bitcoin Is Set For A Rally To $150,000 By Year-End One of the principal drivers identified by Kendrick is the remarkable influx of capital into Bitcoin ETFs within the United States. Since the inception of these ETFs in early 2024, they have witnessed approximately $12 billion in net inflows. Kendrick highlighted the significance of these developments, stating, “The ETF inflows in the US have dominated really the demand supply metrics in 2024 so far. This is huge in terms of how the ETFs have gone so far.” He drew parallels between the current trends in Bitcoin and the historical performance of gold following the introduction of gold ETFs. Kendrick elaborated on the potential scale of this trend by projecting, “From the start of this year to when the ETF market in the US is mature, we’ll get between $50 and $100 billion of inflow.” Related Reading: Conservative Projection Places Bitcoin At $245,000 In 5 Years In addition to the ETF inflows, the Bitcoin halving event was identified as another pivotal factor. This event, which reduces the reward for mining new blocks thereby halving the rate of new Bitcoin entering circulation, is set to reduce the daily production from 900 BTC to 450 BTC. Although Kendrick mentioned that this halving might be “less important than previous ones,” he still considers it significant in the short-term supply dynamics. He stated, “Obviously, once we have the halving […], you have only half as many new coins, so that helps at the margin.” Responding to questions about market skepticism, particularly criticism from figures such as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who described Bitcoin as a “Ponzi scheme,” Kendrick offered a defense of Bitcoin’s underlying technology. He argued, “There’s a lot of people out there that don’t understand the basic methodology behind Bitcoin. And it’s really that blockchain technology, which is where the value is medium term.” Looking Further Ahead Kendrick continued, explaining the transformative potential of blockchain technology not just for financial services but across various industries, “Bitcoin is the first in on that. It’s the largest asset at the moment, makes up for more than 50% of the crypto market, but that opens up the Ethereum and other use cases, which quite frankly, over the next five to 10 years, you can easily see a lot of traditional finance go on chain.” Related Reading: Market Expert Predicts New Paradigm For Bitcoin: ‘Days Under $100,000 Numbered’ Furthermore, he addressed the recent market volatility, noting that Bitcoin had experienced a significant sell-off just prior to the halving, with $260 million in Bitcoin leverage positions being liquidated. The Standard Chartered exec interpreted this as a market correction that might set the stage for a healthier build-up post-halving, saying, “We’ve had a large move lower in Bitcoin. Specifically, on Saturday last weekend, there were $260 million Bitcoin leverage positions that were liquidated. So the market is now looking much more square going into the halving, if you like, in terms of leverage.” Summarizing his perspective on the future trajectory of Bitcoin, Kendrick expressed a confident outlook, projecting not only recovery but a robust increase in Bitcoin’s price, driven by both the maturation of the ETF market and ongoing technological advancements. His vision for Bitcoin by the end of 2025 reaches even beyond the current year’s target, predicting a potential value of $200,000 per coin. At press time, BTC traded at $66,556.

  • Conservative Projection Places Bitcoin At $245,000 In 5 Years

    Apr 22, 2024 | 21:00 pm

    A recent analysis paints a rosy picture of Bitcoin’s future, even with a conservative growth projection. Taking to X, Michael Sullivan predicts that the world’s most valuable coin could reach a staggering $245,000 within just five years if it maintains a mere 30% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).  Bitcoin Projections: From Conservative To Exponential Growth The analysis explores various growth possibilities for Bitcoin. Assuming the coin’s growth rate significantly contracts in the coming years, growing at just 30% CAGR, Sullivan projects the coin to reach $245,000 by 2029.  A decade later, it will be at $909,000; by 2039, each coin in circulation will be trading at a whopping $3.37 million. If, however, the CAGR rises to 40%, Bitcoin would be worth $10.3 million in 15 years and $1.9 million in 10 years. Related Reading: Market Expert Predicts New Paradigm For Bitcoin: ‘Days Under $100,000 Numbered’ Still, even at these mega valuations, Bitcoin has been soaring at unprecedented rates, outperforming all traditional finance assets since launching. To demonstrate, Bitcoin registered a CAGR of 73.7% over the past four years.  Therefore, if this trend continues, Sullivan says BTC will smash above the $1 million level a year after halving in 2028. However, half a decade later, each coin will change hands at over $16.5 million.  A look back at Bitcoin’s history makes it clear that the coin has been on a tear. Following this historical trend and making projections for the future, BTC could be far more valuable in the next five or ten years. There Are No Guarantees, Crypto Is Dynamic While these projections are undoubtedly exciting for Bitcoin holders, it’s crucial to remember that they are just projections. The crypto market, just like any other tradable asset, doesn’t move in straight lines.  Related Reading: Shiba Inu Whales Move Over 3.19 Trillion SHIB, Where Are They Headed?

In 2017, BTC rose to around $20,000 before tanking to below $4,000 a year later in 2018. This volatility and the dynamic market, influenced by new circumstances, don’t guarantee these lofty projections. Nonetheless, analysts remain optimistic of what lies ahead, especially after the historic Halving event on April 20. As traditional finance players join in, finding exposure in BTC through spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), prices might rise, even breaking above the all-time highs of around $74,000.

  • Binance under Fire: Ontario Court Certifies Class Action over Crypto Derivatives

    Apr 22, 2024 | 12:56 pm

    Ontario's Superior Court of Justice has certified a class action lawsuit against Binance, according to a report by Advisor.ca. The lawsuit alleges that Binance Holdings Limited violated securities law by offering crypto derivative products to retail investors without proper registration. Regulatory ScrutinyThis latest development occurs amid increasing scrutiny from regulatory authorities, including the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). In 2021, Binance promised to cease operations with Canadian investors in response to the OSC's scrutiny and later agreed to an undertaking with the OSC to halt trading activities in Ontario. However, the OSC's investigation into possible regulatory breaches by the exchange is ongoing, with no formal allegations yet made against the company. The court noted that regulators have previously categorized crypto contracts as securities or derivatives, suggesting that the marketing of such contracts falls under securities law. This classification paves the way for the plaintiffs' claims of violation of securities law against Binance.Moreover, the court dismissed Binance's argument that it was merely a facilitator of trades between users, highlighting evidence that investors traded directly with Binance. Investors who purchased cryptocurrency derivative contracts from Binance starting September 13, 2019, are considered members of the class affected by the lawsuit. The case highlights the importance of regulatory compliance and investor protection in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency trading landscape.Binance Faces Regulatory Pressure in CanadaLast year, Binance terminated its operations in Canada due to stringent regulations, particularly concerning stablecoins. Canada's regulations regarding cryptocurrencies took a new turn when the Canadian Securities Administrators classified stablecoins as "securities and/or derivatives".This action barred regulated crypto exchanges from offering services involving stablecoins, a significant component of the crypto market. Additionally, the province of Ontario mandated the registration of all cryptocurrency exchanges operating within its jurisdiction.Binance, acknowledging the evolving regulatory landscape, cited the new guidance related to stablecoins and investor limits as the main reason for its exit from the Canadian market. The exchange emphasized that the regulatory environment in Canada had rendered its operations untenable.Binance is not alone in its departure from Canada. Other prominent crypto exchanges, including Paxos and OKX, have opted to end their services for Canadian users due to regulatory pressure. However, exchanges such as Gemini, Coinbase, and Kraken are actively seeking authorization to strengthen their presence in the region.

  • Thailand Cracks Down on Unregistered Crypto Services to Tackle Cyber Crime

    Apr 22, 2024 | 06:18 am

    Thailand is planning to block unauthorized cryptocurrency service providers to fight online crimes. The Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is partnering with Thai government agencies to prevent criminals from utilizing crypto exchanges for illicit activities, including money laundering.Thailand Warns about Unregistered Crypto PlatformsAccording to the press release, Pornanong Busaratrakul, the Secretary General of the SEC, recently disclosed plans to submit information about unauthorized crypto service providers to the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.The regulator's decision reflects similar actions taken by other countries like India and the Philippines. The SEC is strengthening its commitment to protecting investors and safeguarding the financial system by taking action against unregistered crypto service providers in Thailand. In light of this development, the SEC has urged users of unauthorized platforms to promptly withdraw their assets. Additionally, the commission has cautioned investors against using services offered by unauthorized digital asset operators, as they may not be protected by law. Besides that, the Thai securities watchdog has encouraged crypto traders to verify the legitimacy of digital asset operators by consulting its list of licensed businesses or using the "SEC Check First" application. Any suspicious activities can be reported to the SEC's Complaint and Whistleblower Center for further investigation.Global Crypto Regulation ShiftsWhile Thailand reinforces its regulations on crypto exchanges, digital asset platforms in Europe are also facing regulatory scrutiny. For instance, the recently adopted Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation mandates the European Commission to assess the feasibility of decentralized finance for specific regulations by the end of the year.In South Korea, the country's financial regulator is preparing to adopt significant laws for virtual asset service providers (VASP), targeting the employment of executives in the sector. Specifically, these regulations would necessitate the vetting of executives before they assume roles within the VASP firms. This action is aimed at granting the Financial Services Commission authority over personnel matters within the crypto industry.Should these proposals be enacted, companies seeking to renew their VASP licenses would face heightened scrutiny regarding their personnel decisions. The FSC will have the mandate to suspend the VASP licenses if there is an ongoing investigation targeting the executives. This article was written by Jared Kirui at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Breaking: Bitcoin Halving is Sealed after Mining of Block 840,000

    Apr 19, 2024 | 17:14 pm

    The Bitcoin halving just took place at block number 840,000. This event today reduced the mining reward for each block to 3.125 Bitcoins from 6.25 Bitcoins. New Bitcoins are introduced into circulation through these mining rewards.Another Bitcoin HalvingHalving is one of the most significant events in the cryptocurrency world and occurs approximately every four years, specifically after every 210,000 blocks. It greatly reduces the supply of Bitcoin, thus helping to control inflation by maintaining scarcity.Bitcoin was created on 3 January 2009. Initially, the reward for mining each block was 50 Bitcoins. The mining reward was first halved on 28 November 2012 in the first halving event. The next halving event took place on 9 July 2016, reducing the mining reward to 12.5 Bitcoins per block, while the third halving on 11 May 2020 reduced it further to 6.25 Bitcoins.Now, the reward for mining each Bitcoin block is 3.125 Bitcoins.The Cap of 21 Million BitcoinsBitcoin operates on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, and according to the algorithm, a halving must occur every 210,000 blocks until all 21 million Bitcoins are mined. It is estimated that the next Bitcoin halving will happen in 2028.To alter this pre-set algorithm, a majority of Bitcoin miners, more than 50 percent, must agree, which is nearly impossible given Bitcoin's decentralized and extensive network.Currently, around 19 million Bitcoins have already been mined, leaving only 2 million more to be mined.The halving of Bitcoin supply has a significant impact on the cryptocurrency's price. Historically, it has been one of the major price drivers, with Bitcoin prices surging around the event. The event affects Bitcoin miners' operations, as a reduction in the reward by half without a corresponding significant price increase, affects the cash flow of the mining operations.

  • Bitcoin Halving and Geopolitics: The Liquidity Conundrum

    Apr 19, 2024 | 10:54 am

    The long-awaited day of the 4th phase of Bitcoin's halving is looming in the cryptocurrency sector. The countdown to this event shows that it could happen around the final hours of Friday evening if you are located in the Americas or Saturday morning if you are in Asia or Europe.According to the market metrics, the event is much anticipated and should be discounted well in advance of its actual occurrence. In contrast to unpredictable overnight barrages of rockets in the heat of the Middle East, the halving event has a clear outcome—the amount of BTC rewards that miners get for completing a block will be reduced in half to 3.125 BTC from the current 6.25.This will inevitably lead to less supply from miners, but does it change the liquidity of the overall market? We will attempt to answer that question in the coming paragraphs, and while at it, we will also highlight some challenges related to the current geopolitical landscape and the resulting jittery market conditions we have recently observed.Are Previous Halvings Linked to Liquidity Squeezes?Every time 210,000 blocks are mined, the Bitcoin network's protocol cuts in half the amount of new rewards. As highlighted by the institutional research team at Coinbase, this means that the newly minted supply will drop from 900 Bitcoins per day to 450 Bitcoins per day. At current market prices ($65,000 per BTC), this equates to roughly $30,000,000 worth of new supply per day or $900,000,000 per month.These figures are rather low compared to the average daily trading volumes across crypto exchanges, especially since the launch of BTC ETF trading, which triggered increased interest in the asset class.The amount of tradable Bitcoin has also been on the rise during the recent bull run that accelerated since early Q4 2023. According to the team at Coinbase Institutional Research, active BTC supply, defined as Bitcoin moved in the past three months, rose to 1.3 million. This figure is in comparison to 150,000, which was mined during that time.In a statement shared with Finance Magnates, Coinbase's Research Analyst, David Han, mentioned that the decline in BTC mining issuance could create new supply-side dynamics that are constructive in the longer term.Han expressed his doubts as to whether that can result in an imminent supply crunch: “We find that the largest contributors to increased BTC supply during bull markets come from long-term wallets beginning to activate instead of from newly mined BTC.”Crypto and Fiat Liquidity Cycles – the Signal and the NoiseA widely held belief in the cryptocurrency community is that halving events are usually followed by a significant rally in the value of their digital assets. While there is some historical correlation to corroborate this notion, science has long established - correlation does not imply causation.The logical fallacy where two events that occur at a similar time have a cause-effect relationship is at the center of spurious relationships - two events can be correlated, but that connection may not be causal.With only three halving events behind us and a fourth one brewing, one can observe correlations, but not necessarily cause-effect relationships. Halving events don’t perfectly coincide with central bank liquifying cycles, but as the chart below shows, there is some food for thought for risk-management teams and traders alike.Around the first halving in 2012, the Fed launched the third chapter of its post-financial crisis quantitative easing program (QE3), shortly followed by the first US debt ceiling crisis and the loss of the reserve currency issuer’s AAA rating.The second one, in 2016, was followed by the Bank of England’s post-Brexit ramp-up of bond buying in tandem with the ECB’s asset purchase program. Fast-forward to 2020, and we all remember the central bank and fiscal policy bazookas firing left and right with fiat liquidity so ample that it ultimately caused the sharpest spike in inflationary pressures globally since the 1970s. Geopolitical BlocksIt was an early morning in the Middle East, as a well-telegraphed attack by Iran had been unleashed upon Israel. With all other financial markets closed, it was up to crypto to reflect the current state of mind (or compute).The old Wall Street saying, “up the stairs, down the elevator,” came to mind as BTC and ETH dropped in tandem in rapidly dwindling liquidity conditions. That night, Coinbase registered about $2 billion worth of liquidations, the company’s institutional research team highlighted in a recent weekly market call.In contrast to the rather gradual price action that unfolded in the aftermath of the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas, the Iranian attack, despite being well-telegraphed before the weekend, did result in material price action across the crypto market.At one point, Pax Gold, a crypto token supposed to be fully backed by gold, spiked about $1000 at a time when the physical gold market, which is underpinning the coin's value, wasn’t open. The magnitude of the attack certainly surprised market participants, while some automatic “stop trading” commands must have been unleashed across algorithmic trading strategies.Events centered around geopolitical stress have certainly caused some leveraged players to rethink, not only in the crypto market. Fed chair Powell’s higher rates for a longer period re-pivot raise questions about a widely expected easing of monetary policy.Speech by Chair Powell on the economic outlook @StanfordGSB: https://t.co/y6oLUN0LYwWatch live: https://t.co/a0ApMRHum2— Federal Reserve (@federalreserve) April 3, 2024To Bid, or Not to BidAs the halving cycles come and go, the impact of these events could lessen in time. Since most bitcoins have already been mined, the current market liquidity state is much more about the existing supply of BTC on the market than newly mined coins.A supply crunch overnight is the least likely event, and if very recent history is any guide, geopolitical tensions can create more volatility or liquidity waves on cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets.Guided by risk-on and risk-off flows, cryptocurrencies have been defying the trend occasionally, but at their core they remain a high-risk asset with a digital store of value component behind it. Only time will tell whether or not that narrative has become a well-established[…]

  • Mango Markets’ Manipulator Faces up to 20 Years in Jail after Jury Conviction

    Apr 18, 2024 | 23:22 pm

    A federal jury in New York yesterday (Thursday) convicted Avraham 'Avi' Eisenberg, a crypto trader, for fraud and market manipulation in carrying out a $110 million heist from the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Mango Markets. It was the first conviction in a cryptocurrency market manipulation case.Jail Time AheadHe is now facing substantial prison time: the commodities fraud count and the commodities manipulation count against him each carry a maximum imprisonment of 10 years, while the count of wire fraud carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years. His sentencing is scheduled for July 29.“This ground-breaking prosecution epitomizes this office’s ability to employ innovative methods and cutting-edge law enforcement tools to continue to protect all financial markets,” US Attorney Damian Williams said.A $110 Million HeistIn October 2022, Eisenberg used two accounts to sell a large number of perpetual contracts of Mango’s crypto token MNGO from one of his accounts to the other, thus artificially inflating the price by 1,300 percent in under an hour. He then used the token as collateral to borrow $110 million in other cryptocurrencies from Mango Markets and quickly withdrew the funds. In doing so, he essentially withdrew all the cryptocurrencies deposited on the DeFi platform.Later, he negotiated a settlement with Mango Markets and agreed to return $67 million to the decentralized autonomous organization governing the protocol. He was arrested in December 2022 in Puerto Rico.In court, the defense lawyers tried to convince the jury that Eisenberg’s trades on Mango Markets were “successful and legal” and “fully complied” with the decentralized protocol’s scant rules. However, the jury sided with the prosecutors' portrayal of it as a “brazen” fraud and manipulation.The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission also brought civil fraud and market manipulation charges against Eisenberg.“Manipulative trading puts our financial markets and investors at risk,” the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Nicole Argentieri, said. “This prosecution, the first involving the manipulation of cryptocurrency through open-market trades, demonstrates the Criminal Division’s commitment to protecting U.S. financial markets and holding wrongdoers accountable, no matter what mechanism they use to commit manipulation and fraud.” This article was written by Arnab Shome at www.financemagnates.com.

  • Kraken Acquires TradeStation Crypto

    Apr 18, 2024 | 22:23 pm

    The crypto exchange Kraken has acquired TradeStation Crypto, the digital asset-focused division of online brokerage TradeStation, to support its expansion efforts in the United States, Coindesk reported.However, the closing date of the acquisition and other details remain unclear as neither company has announced anything officially. The financials of the deal have not been revealed.Kraken’s Push in the US“We can confirm Kraken has recently purchased TradeStation's crypto business,” a Kraken spokesperson wrote in an email confirming the acquisition to the crypto-focused publication. “This transaction is part of our efforts to accelerate our US presence and will support further growth and new product opportunities for Kraken in the US.”Indeed, Florida-based TradeStation Crypto holds money transmitter licenses in 47 states in the US, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico, according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Center’s database. These licenses are necessary for running crypto exchange operations and registrar businesses in compliance with federal laws in the US.A Global Expansion PlanHeadquartered in San Francisco, Kraken is focused on its expansion, both domestically and internationally. In Europe, the exchange recently obtained multiple licenses, including regulatory approval in Spain and Ireland. Furthermore, the American exchange acquired BCM, a Dutch crypto exchange, late last year to expand its presence in continental Europe.Recently, Kraken expanded its services with the launch of a self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet. The exchange also offers a dedicated platform to its institutional clients, along with custodial solutions.Meanwhile, Kraken is facing regulatory backlash. The US securities regulator has charged the exchange with illegally operating an unregistered securities exchange, broker, dealer, and clearing agency, and with mixing customers’ money and crypto assets with its own.Interestingly, TradeStation Crypto settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year by paying $1.5 million for offering crypto lending products, which were categorised as unregistered securities.

  • JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon Renews Attack on Bitcoin, Calls It "Fraud"

    Apr 18, 2024 | 12:52 pm

    Jamie Dimon recently affirmed his longstanding stance against Bitcoin. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, the CEO of JPMorgan labeled the leading digital asset a "fraud" and "Ponzi Scheme." According to Dimon, Bitcoin lacks the fundamental qualities necessary to function as a currency. Dimon Labels Bitcoin "Ponzi Scheme""Crypto, if you mean crypto like Bitcoin, I've always said it's a fraud. If they think there is a currency, there's no hope for it. It's a Ponzi scheme, it is a public decentralized Ponzi scheme," Dimon mentioned. He dismissed Bitcoin as merely a speculative asset, saying those who view it as a legitimate form of money are misguided.Despite acknowledging Bitcoin's role in modern financial markets, Dimon does not believe that the token has the potential to function as a currency. Throughout the years, he has consistently expressed skepticism about Bitcoin, citing concerns about volatility and the lack of regulation. Despite the growing acceptance of the asset by mainstream institutions, Dimon's stance has not changed.JUST IN: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says #Bitcoin is a fraud and a ponzi scheme.JPMorgan is an authorized participant for BlackRock's Spot Bitcoin ETF. pic.twitter.com/4tpjkaZ0TV— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) April 18, 2024In January, while speaking during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Dimon said that he was officially done discussing Bitcoin. He likened it to a "pet rock," CNBC reported. His comments echoed similar sentiments he expressed in 2021 and the previous year in Davos, terming Bitcoin as "worthless" and a "hyped-up fraud." However, Dimon's remarks highlighted a distinction between blockchain technology and Bitcoin.Perspective on Smart ContractsDimon acknowledged the practical applications of blockchain technology in facilitating efficient transactions and data transfer. He is optimistic about smart contract-enabled blockchains, such as Ethereum, which facilitate the execution of financial transactions without the need for intermediaries.Jamie Dimon on the cryptocurrency industry: "I'd close it down" https://t.co/vimnFywEjk— CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) December 10, 2023In his latest remarks with Bloomberg TV, Dimon said: "If it's a crypto coin that can do something like, you know, a smart contract that has value, there will be smart contracts and blockchain works."Dimon's latest comments arrived a day before the most important event in the Bitcoin blockchain: Bitcoin halving. This event occurs approximately every four years and cuts the rewards for Bitcoin miners by half. Currently, the cryptocurrency world is excited about the upcoming halving, especially with recent developments like the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

  • Tokenizing Real-World Assets Redefines Financial Inclusivity: A $16 Trillion Outlook

    Apr 18, 2024 | 07:26 am

    We are standing on the cusp of a new era when digital and traditional finance converge to create social and economic transformation. Where barriers to entry once stood, technological advancements are making it possible for anyone to access wealth-creation opportunities that were once the domain of the elite few. At the forefront of this transformation is the emergence of tokens, specifically those that represent real-world assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate and others. By reimagining ownership and trading of assets, tokenization is unlocking doors to financial opportunities previously out of reach to many. This shift is not just altering market dynamics, it's laying the foundation for a more equitable and accessible financial future when empowerment and freedom aren't just ideals but tangible realities.Investing in Appreciating Assets - an Economic NecessityThe ability to invest capital into assets, instead of holding cash, is not a luxury but a necessity for every household looking to survive and thrive. Holding cash, often perceived as a safe bet, is a silent thief eroded by the relentless march of inflation. Consider this, $100 in 2004, sitting idly, would have the purchasing power of merely $60 today. Contrast this, with the dynamism of the stock market the same amount invested in the S&P 500 over the same period would have quintupled to an impressive $470.Yet, the landscape of stock ownership reveals a stark imbalance. The wealthiest 10% in the US control an overwhelming 93% of stocks, illustrating a deep-seated inequality in financial opportunity and access. This inequality is magnified when looking at sectors like private equity and private credit, where doors often remain closed to everyday investors. Enter Tokenization, the Great EqualizerWhile a distinctly counter-culture ethos characterized the early days of blockchain, it wasn’t long before traditional financial institutions sought to leverage this technology to improve existing financial pipelines. Thus began the race to tokenize the world and empower traditional assets like stock, bonds, and real estate with the benefits of blockchain, such as 24/7/365 trading, fractional ownership, transparency, and programmability.“The most important first step is to get in there and start to engage in the ecosystem”—Sandy Kaul of @FTI_Global.How banks and asset managers can get started with tokenization ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/kG2MdNrUdv— Chainlink (@chainlink) April 17, 2024Yet, perhaps the greatest advantage of the tokenization of traditional asset classes is the ability to encourage retail participation. Take the Republic Note, for example, a digital asset representing the Republic’s private equity portfolio of over 600 companies, including SpaceX, Maven, and Gumroad. All retail investors have to do to gain exposure to the portfolio is sign up for INX.One, the trading platform where the Republic Note trades 24/7/365. Such a privilege was unthinkable in the pre-tokenization era.The Tokenization Market Is HugeThe total addressable market for tokenization is huge, with hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of real-world assets waiting to come on chain. According to Boston Consulting Group, the tokenized asset market is projected to grow to a staggering $16 trillion by 2030. We are still in the early stages of this transformation, with only about 0.03% of the total market size currently captured. At this low level of market penetration, a golden opportunity presents itself to innovative asset managers, institutions, and investors who wish to position themselves on the cusp of a new financial era. #HSBC to Expand Tokenized Asset Offerings — CEO Says He's 'Very Comfortable' With #Tokenization https://t.co/mjFwfPN7Fw— Bitcoin.com News (@BTCTN) April 16, 2024However, navigating this evolving landscape is not without its challenges. Regulatory frameworks vary significantly across the globe, creating a complex mosaic of compliance requirements for asset managers and investors. This inconsistency in regulations poses a considerable hurdle, as entities must adapt and comply with diverse legal standards in different jurisdictions. Despite these challenges, the opportunity presented in the tokenization of real-world assets is too significant to ignore. Innovative asset managers, institutions, and investors looking to capitalize on this shift should collaborate with tokenization leaders to capitalize on this rare chance to be at the forefront of a financial revolution. Towards a Holistic Tokenized FutureTokenzied real-world assets are not growing in a vacuum. Indeed, no single type of digital asset will monopolize this new financial dawn. Rather, the true power of digital assets is unleashed when different forms of digital assets interface with one another. “The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has teamed up with the central banks of France, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States Federal Reserve Banks to explore asset tokenization.”https://t.co/IfCuWBVWAt— Securitize (@Securitize) April 17, 2024Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, tokenized real-world assets, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) emerge as the foundational pillars of this modernized financial landscape. Each serves a unique role and can empower its peers to reach further than they can on their own. For example, enabling investors to purchase stocks, bonds, and real estate with crypto opens up entirely new investment avenues for crypto investors to diversify their holdings. The coexistence is a testament to the fact that financial inclusivity and progress don't demand the dominance of one over the others, but thrive on their mutual support and integration. As we move forward, this triad of digital assets is poised to redefine not just investment and currency, but the very fabric of economic interaction and empowerment.

The cryptocurrency exchange was ousted from the country last January for failing to comply with local laws.India: A Lucrative Market for Crypto ExchangesThe report emerged just a month after KuCoin, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange, announced its compliance with Indian regulations.

  • From $1 Trillion to $2.5 Trillion: Cryptos Boom in Six Months on Institutional Backing

    Apr 17, 2024 | 15:00 pm

    The cryptocurrency market surged in value from $1 trillion to $2.5 trillion from October 2023 to March 2024. This boost was driven by institutional interest and venture capital funding in the sector. Bybit and Treehouse Finance recently highlighted these findings in a report dubbed the "2024 Institutional Industry Report." The study covered derivatives, challenger chains, and the resurgence of venture capital.Optimism in the Derivatives MarketAccording to the report, there is a positive sentiment in the derivatives market. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exhibited a notable call premium despite the relatively sideways price movement in March, suggesting a bullish sentiment among investors. This outlook hints at the potential for significant price appreciation for these leading cryptocurrencies by the end of the year. BTC's status as a hedge against traditional finance remains robust, with its correlations to major equity indices below 3%.Noteworthy, BTC's negative correlation with equity returns strengthens its role as a diversification tool for equity-focused portfolios. Besides that, challenger chains have garnered renewed interest since Q4 2023, with native tokens outperforming ETH. In particular, Solana is leading the charge, showcasing substantial growth in total value locked and transaction volume. This trend underscores the growing competitiveness in the blockchain ecosystem.Additionally, venture capital funding in the crypto industry has experienced a remarkable resurgence, with deals reaching new highs in Q1 2024. Notable sectors attracting capital, include hardware wallets, blockchain data providers, and gaming projects. This trend signals the diversity in the investment landscape.Crypto Adoption As BTC approaches its fourth halving event, there is speculation about its potential impact on market dynamics. Historical precedents suggest that halving events often coincide with significant price surges. This event marks a pivotal moment for both opportunities and challenges in the crypto space, with institutional interest on the rise and regulatory landscapes evolving.Besides that, Bybit's report highlighted the status of the adoption of digital assets globally. The epicenter of crypto adoption has shifted towards Central and Southeast Asia, with countries like India leading the charge. Grassroots adoption is evident across diverse regions, highlighting the global reach and impact of cryptocurrencies. Despite fluctuations in adoption rates, countries worldwide are experiencing a resilient recovery, underscoring the enduring appeal and potential of crypto in varied economic landscapes.

  • Bitcoin Halving Countdown: Why It May Not Guarantee Price Surge

    Apr 17, 2024 | 10:35 am

    The Bitcoin halving, an important event written into the cryptocurrency's code, is two days away. This event, which occurs roughly every four years, reduces the rewards for Bitcoin miners by half. The cryptocurrency community is abuzz with anticipation ahead of the halving, especially given the recent developments, such as the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and improved crypto regulations. Understanding Bitcoin HalvingThe 2024 halving is expected to have an impact throughout the entire financial system as retail investors gain exposure to Bitcoin through ETFs. This could result in increased crypto transactions, trading volume, investment, and speculation in the sector, Finance Magnates reported. According to the countdown by Binance, the Bitcoin halving event will occur in the next two days. Following the halving, miners often experience a significant reduction in revenue. Additionally, the reduction in selling pressure can contribute to increased trading volume and price volatility in the market. Goldman Sachs recently cautioned investors against associating Bitcoin halving with price surges, Coindesk reported. This is because continued price gains rely on strong inflows into spot ETFs and not just the halving.While previous halvings have been followed by price appreciations, Goldman has pointed out that various macroeconomic factors play a significant role. The firm highlighted that the time taken to reach peak values in the past significantly varied. Additionally, the macroeconomic environment during past halvings differed from the current landscape, marked by high inflation and interest rates.Bitcoin ETFs and Market DynamicsSimilarly, Goldman emphasized in a report by Bloomberg the importance of considering other factors, such as the adoption of spot ETFs, in driving Bitcoin's price. The recent rally in BTC prices, fueled by inflows into U.S.-based spot ETFs, indicates that a significant portion of post-halving expectations may have already been priced in.Fred Thiel, the CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings Inc., echoed Goldman's sentiment, suggesting that the success of ETF approvals has accelerated price appreciation typically observed after halvings. However, Thiel acknowledged the potential impact of the halving on Bitcoin's supply dynamics and emphasized miners' optimism towards the event.With #BitcoinHalving just a few hours away, we can expect a volatile market. Best strategy is to either DCA into your favourite coins or just don't touch your bags at all. Things will settle in a couple of days & after some side way action, we will start moving up, especially the… pic.twitter.com/46YEXP57N8— Cryptonic Bull (@Cryptonic_Bull) April 17, 2024Bitcoin CashRecently, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) experienced its own halving. After the event, the cryptocurrency forked from Bitcoin and dropped 15%. According to Coindesk, this has prompted crypto traders to reassess their expectations of an immediate price surge in Bitcoin post-halving.Bitcoin Cash, created in 2017, has historically been viewed as a measure of Bitcoin's market sentiment. Its recent rally, followed by a sharp decline post-halving, conveys caution regarding Bitcoin's upcoming halving.The decline in the price of Bitcoin Cash was accompanied by the collapse in open interest for BCH futures. This trend indicates a shift in market dynamics. Additionally, negative funding rates across major exchanges reportedly underscore a potential unwinding of bullish sentiment. Insights from Analysts and ExpertsThe investment banking giant JPMorgan anticipates a sell-off price of $42,000 once the halving hype subsides. The impending reduction in miners' rewards of 50% could lead to increased selling pressure, potentially impacting Bitcoin's price trajectory in the coming months.Meanwhile, the Grayscale spot Bitcoin ETF (GBTC) recently experienced a significant decline in holdings. According to a report by Cointelegraph, the fund dropped by half from its trading debut in January to 309,871 BTC as of April 16, 2024. Since its inception, GBTC has faced a massive sell-off, significantly impacting Bitcoin prices. The reason attributed to this outflow is the high trading fees, with GBTC initially having the highest fees among US spot Bitcoin ETFs, set at 1.5%. This discrepancy in fees has prompted other ETFs to lower their fees, ranging between 0.2% and 0.4%. In contrast, BlackRock's IBIT offered a competitive fee of 0.25% at launch. Thus, IBIT has experienced an extraordinary surge, increasing holdings by over 10,000% since its debut. Despite the lack of direct correlation, the surge has added to the significant Bitcoin-related events.Bitcoin ETF LandscapeOverall, the collective holdings of the ten spot Bitcoin ETFs approved in the US reached approximately 862,162 BTC, valued at $54.7 billion as of April 16, 2024. While the decline of GBTC and the surge of IBIT dominate headlines, other ETF providers have accumulated significant holdings, contributing to the dynamic landscape of Bitcoin investments.Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining profitability has experienced a significant downturn of 75% over the past three years. According to Stocklytics.com, profitability dropped from March 2021 to March 2024.This trend is attributed to various factors, including the rising costs associated with mining operations and the impact of halving events on miners' rewards. The metric used to measure Bitcoin mining profitability is the hash price, denoted in dollars per terrahash (USD/TH). This metric has been influenced by several factors, including the price of Bitcoin, transaction fees, network complexity, and block subsidies. Despite Bitcoin's price surges in the past, mining profitability has been on a steady decline, with diminishing returns becoming increasingly evident. Bitcoin mining operations face numerous challenges that impact profitability. Energy consumption is a significant concern, with the process consuming vast amounts of electricity annually.

  • FMA Cracks Down on These Two Companies amid Fraud Concerns in New Zealand

    Apr 17, 2024 | 00:12 am

    The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) of New Zealand has been actively combating fraudulent activity and scams in the country's financial markets. In a series of recent actions, the regulator has taken steps to protect consumers and maintain market integrity by cancelling one crowdfunding services license and issuing a warning against a cryptocurrency company.FMA Cracks Down on Fraudulent Activity and ScamsAccording to the update on Wednesday, the FMA cancelled the crowdfunding services license of Equitise Pty Ltd, an equity crowdfunding service provider licensed since 2014. The cancellation followed Equitise's significant breach of certain market services licensee obligations and its failure to meet statutory requirements.The company failed to provide its financial reporting and agreed upon procedures reporting, and was deregistered from the Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR) for failing to file its annual confirmation within the required timeframe."Cancelling a provider's licence is one of the strongest regulatory actions we can take and is not a decision the FMA takes lightly,” Peter Taylor, the FMA Director of Specialist Supervision and Response, stated, emphasizing the severity of the action. “Financial service providers must make sure they are able to meet the legislative requirements and act lawfully. The rules are there to protect consumers and to ensure market integrity."In another warning, the FMA cautioned investors about AxonExchange, a suspected cryptocurrency exchange scam. The platform claims to be based in New Zealand but is not an incorporated company in the country and is not authorized or registered on the FSPR to provide financial services.The FMA is concerned that AxonExchange is operating a scam, prompted by an investor's complaint of difficulty withdrawing funds from the platform.Rising Number of Impostors in New ZealandThe regulatory authority in New Zealand has raised concerns about an increase in impostor-related scams, particularly highlighting the rise in fake product disclosure statement frauds. In 2023, there were 82 warnings issued regarding suspected investment scams and impostor websites, as well as 22 warnings concerning unregistered businesses. This marks a significant uptick in efforts to alert the public about these deceptive practices.Additionally, the FMA has reported an emerging trend where scammers impersonate another regulatory body, specifically the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. These scammers send emails to New Zealand residents claiming they can assist in recovering funds lost in previous scams. According to a report published by the FMA at the end of last year, while the total number of crime warnings decreased to 89 in 2023 from 111 the previous year, there was a noteworthy increase in the number of impostors and imposter websites. The report noted 29 such cases in 2023, a significant rise from previous years when similar cases were isolated and not statistically relevant.
