JPMorgan Expands Its Blockchain-Based Token to Euro Payments: Bloomberg

Since its inception in 2019, over $300 billion in transactions have been processed using JPM Coin.

Banking giant JPMorgan (JPM) has expanded its blockchain-based settlement token JPM Coin to euro-denominated payments, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

JPM Coin went live with euro payments on Wednesday, according to the report, citing an interview with the bank’s head of Coin Systems for Europe Basak Toprak. German tech firm Siemens conducted the first euro payment on the platform.

Since its inception in 2019, over $300 billion in transactions have been processed using JPM Coin, making it one of the most extensive uses of blockchain technology by a traditional financial institution. The system allows JPMorgan’s institutional clients to make wholesale payments between accounts around the world using blockchain tech as the rails.

The $300 billion is still but a drop in the ocean compared to the nearly $10 trillion that JPMorgan processes by conventional means on a daily basis.

JPMorgan did not immediately respond to CoinDesk’s request for further comment.

Three Quarters of Jurisdictions Not Complying With Global Crypto Laundering Norms, FATF Says

The global anti-money laundering watchdog FATF said North Korea is using digital assets to fund weapons of mass destruction

Most jurisdictions still aren’t fully complying with international anti-money laundering norms for crypto, standard-setter the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has said .

“Almost three quarters of jurisdictions are only partially compliant or not compliant with the FATF’s requirements” for virtual assets, according to a statement issued following a regular plenary meeting of the watchdog, chaired by Singapore’s T. Raja Kumar.

The statement said that North Korea was using illicit virtual assets to finance weapons of mass destruction and called for companies to apply anti-money laundering norms as an “urgent priority.”

A forthcoming report from FATF will urge jurisdictions to close loopholes, focusing on emerging risks from decentralized finance and peer-to-peer transactions that don’t use a regulated intermediary such as a wallet provider, the statement said.

Last year the U.S. Treasury sanctioned the decentralized privacy protocol Tornado Cash, saying it had been used by North Korean hackers to fund ballistic missiles.

Coinbase Wins Supreme Court Ruling in Arbitration Lawsuit

The company’s clear legal victory in the U.S. high court isn’t about crypto, but it could play into future court disputes for all businesses.

Crypto exchange Coinbase won a reprieve from the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, after the high court ruled that a lawsuit filed by one of the exchange’s users couldn’t proceed until Coinbase defends an appeal of a lower court ruling.

The ruling, which won a 5-4 majority, allows Coinbase to continue its effort to compel arbitration against the putative class action lawsuit, halting the lawsuit’s progress through the federal court system in the meantime. While this marks a win for Coinbase, it has little direct effect on the crypto industry.

“The sole question here is whether the district court must stay its pre-trial and trial proceedings while the interlocutory appeal is ongoing. The answer is yes: The district court must stay its proceedings,” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh on behalf of the majority.

Coinbase lost an initial ruling against the putative class action lawsuit, when the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California denied its motion to compel arbitration. Coinbase lost an appeal of that ruling as well. The lawsuit was originally set to proceed on some of the case’s merits.

The Supreme Court ruling doesn’t touch on crypto issues beyond the fact that Coinbase is one of the two parties involved. However, it marks the first time a crypto company argued before the U.S. high court, and it may have implications on other lawsuits filed against the crypto exchange.

Coinbase can continue trying to compel arbitration after Friday’s ruling.

“We anticipate that the Ninth Circuit here, as we anticipate in [appeals] more generally, will proceed with appropriate expedition when considering Coinbase’s interlocutory appeal from the denial of the motion to compel arbitration,” the ruling said. “We reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who authored a dissent with support from Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor (and with Justice Clarence Thomas signing on to some sections), wrote that allowing the case to proceed would enable a balancing of all involved interests.

“The Court concludes for the first time that an interlocutory appeal about one matter (arbitrability) bars the district court from proceeding on another (the merits). That logic has such significant implications for federal litigation that the majority itself shies away from the Pandora’s box it may have opened,” Jackson wrote.

Bitcoin Miner Applied Digital Signs AI Hosting Deal Worth Up to $460M

APLD shares surged on Nasdaq after the firm announced its second AI cloud hosting deal.

Firma Cuma günü yaptığı basın güvenliği, Applied Digital’in (APLD), veri merkezlerindeki yapay zeka (AI) bulut bilgi işlem yüklerini barındırmak için 36 ayda 460 milyon $ değerinde olabileceğini bir anlaşma imzaladığını söyledi.

Teksas merkezli kripto madencisinin hisleri, iki ay içinde ikinci AI barındırma sözleşmesi olan Nasdaq’ta %17’ye kadar yükseldi.

Diğer kripto para madencileri gibi, Applied Digital de ılık kripto pazarlarının içinde geliri artırmak için alternatif gelir akışları aranıyor. Olasılıklar arasında yapay zeka, bulut bilgi işlemi ve elde edilen devam tahmini tahmin edilen diğer yüksek verim bilgi işlem uygulamaları yer alır.

Anlaşma, Mayıs ayında Applied Digital’in önümüzdeki iki yıl içinde 180 milyon $ değerinde olduğunu söylediği anlaşmayı takip ediyor. AI ve bulut teklifi için donanım üreticisi Supermicro ile ortaklık kurdu.

Madenciler, diğer veri merkezlerine güç sağlamak için konuşlandırılabilecek ucuz elektrik ve veri merkezi altyapısına erişebilir. Ancak bu yolu seçtikten sonra, müşteriyle yüz yüze gelme yetenekleri oluşturmaları, Amazon Web Services gibi altyapı devleriyle rekabet etmeleri ve genellikle veri merkezlerinin kalitesini iyileştirmeleri gerekir.

Bu hafta, Iris Energy (IREN), yüksek performanslı bilgi işlem istemcilerini takip etme stratejisini yeniden canlandırdığını söyledi.

Leveraged Bitcoin Futures ETF to Start Trading Tuesday, Sponsor Says

Volatility Shares says its 2x leveraged bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund will be based on CME Bitcoin Futures prices.

Volatility Shares’ 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX) will become the first leveraged crypto ETF available in the United States after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) let it go effective on Friday, an executive at the company told CoinDesk.

The regulator has not denied the application for the 2x ETF, Volatility Shares Chief Investment Officer Stuart Barton said, paving the way for its launch this upcoming Tuesday.

“It’s exciting to see digital assets in the ETF wrapper,” Barton said.

A leveraged 2x ETF allows customers to gain bitcoin exposure by only putting up half the value of the bitcoin.

A prospectus filing said the ETF would correspond with the CME Bitcoin Futures Daily Roll Index.

This comes in the wake up of bitcoin’s value steadily rising past $30,000 after multiple major traditional investment companies like BlackRock filed an application for spot bitcoin ETFs with the SEC.

While a number of futures-based ETF products already trade, the SEC has consistently blocked spot products from launching. Other leveraged bitcoin futures products have also failed to secure the necessary approvals to launch.

Sam Bankman-Fried Can’t Subpoena Law Firm Fenwick & West for Documents, U.S. Judge Rules

The founder of collapsed crypto enterprise FTX had argued legal advice from the Silicon Valley law firm was “at the core” of the government’s criminal allegations against him.

A U.S. judge has shot down FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s attempt to subpoena law firm Fenwick & West as part of his criminal defense, a court order from Friday shows.

The founder of crypto enterprise FTX – who now faces criminal charges from U.S. prosecutors over the dramatic collapse of the exchange while it undergoes separate bankruptcy procedures in Delaware – argued in a May court filing that he’d relied on advice from the Silicon Valley law firm “on many of the issues that are now at the core” of the U.S. government’s allegations against him. Bankman-Fried cited the opening of a North Dimension bank account and the use of auto-deleting Signal messages as examples of the legal advice he’d heeded.

Bankman-Fried sought to compel U.S. prosecutors to hand over documents given to the government by the law firm, or failing that, seek a court order to subpoena Fenwick & West LLP for the same documents.

New York District Court Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on Friday denied Bankman-Fried’s request saying neither Fenwick & West nor the FTX Debtors are part of the “prosecution team.” The government “has no obligation to produce materials that are not within its possession, custody, or control,” the order added.

“Furthermore, the defendant’s proposed subpoena, if enforced, would serve as a fishing expedition and does not meet the specificity, relevance, and admissibility requirements,” set by precedents such as the 1974 U.S. case against former President Richard Nixon, which famously decided a president cannot shield himself from producing evidence in a criminal prosecution because of executive privilege.

Fenwick & West has sought legal help from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher to face scrutiny over its relationship with FTX, Reuters reported Wednesday.

Bankman-Fried’s criminal trial is set to begin later this year.

Bitcoin Hits One-Year High, Soars Past $31.3K

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has been surging this week after three financial services giants filed applications for spot bitcoin ETFs.

Bitcoin continued its mid-June surge, soaring to a one-year high above $31,000.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently trading at $31,110, up nearly 4%, according to CoinDesk Indices. It is up roughly 20% over the past week.

BTC last changed hands over $31,050 last June. It crossed $31,000 briefly on April 10.

Bitcoin began spurting earlier this week, a few days after BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, applied for a spot ETF and as two other financial services powerhouses refiled their applications for similar products.

This is a developing story.

Binance Ordered to Halt Offering Crypto Services in Belgium by Markets Regulator

The crypto exchange is accused of serving Belgian customers from countries outside the European Economic Area in violation of the law, the Financial Services and Markets Authority said.

Belgium’s top markets regulator is ordering embattled crypto exchange Binance to immediately cease serving local customers, according to a Friday notice.

The Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) said Binance is “offering and providing exchange services in Belgium between virtual currencies and legal currencies, as well as custody wallet services, from countries that are not members of the European Economic Area,” which the regulator says is in violation of a prohibition.

“The FSMA has therefore ordered Binance to cease, with immediate effect, offering or providing any and all such services in Belgium,” the notice said.

Binance is in the regulatory hot seat as it battles U.S. SEC allegations it violated securities laws and was recently revealed to be the subject of an investigation by French authorities. The exchange has also pulled out of European Economic Area markets like the Netherlands and Cyprus over regulatory issues.

Brazilian Central Bank Adds Crypto Exchange Mercado Bitcoin in CBDC Pilot Including Mastercard

The approved consortium includes Mastercard, broker Genial, registrar Cerc and financial software fintech Sinqia as partners.

Brazil’s central bank authorized on Thursday the largest local crypto exchange, Mercado Bitcoin, to participate in the pilot of the digital real, the South American country’s central bank digital currency (CBDC).

The consortium led by Mercado Bitcoin counts Mastercard, broker Genial, registrar Cerc and financial software fintech Sinqia as partners, local newspaper Valor reported.

Also on Thursday, the central bank gave its green light to state-owned Brazilian bank Caixa to participate in its CBDC pilot, along with card provider Elo and Microsoft.

Mercado Bitcoin had been left out of the central bank’s choice of 14 participants in late May because the consortium lacked at least one regulated financial or payment institution with direct access to Brazil’s national financial network. That changed after Mercado Bitcoin received the payment institution license from the central bank, on 2 June.

“Our participation validates the Central Bank’s intention to bring innovation to the financial system with those who have already been working with this technology and not just with the incumbents who have appropriated it,” said Fabricio Tota, director of new business at Mercado Bitcoin, Valor added.

“We are pleased to be part of the consortium selected to join the Real Digital pilot in Brazil. Mastercard continues to engage in a series of partnerships to build trust and compliance in the digital assets ecosystem, while also solving real-world problems,” Walter Pimenta, executive vice president of Products and Engineering at Mastercard Latin America and the Caribbean, told CoinDesk in a statement.

The central bank will begin incorporating participants into the Real Digital Pilot platform in mid-June 2023. According to Glovo, the consortium intends to participate in testing the issuance of the CBDC and treasury bills, and will seek to test technical aspects of the network and the governance model of the distributed ledger technology.

The CBDC is slated to be rolled out by 2024 by the central bank, which sees a digital currency as a way of increasing participation in the financial system.

2020 Twitter Hacker Sentence to 5 Years on Crypto Theft, SIM Swapping Scheme

The “Twitter hacker” plundered nearly $1 million from victims of his elaborate online schemes.

A British man who made roughly $900,000 in an elaborate Twitter hack and a separate crypto-related SIM-swapping scheme received a 5 year sentence from a federal judge on Friday, Inner City Press reported.

People’s lives were affected by Joseph O’Connor’s actions, said Judge Jed Rakoff during the sentencing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Friday.

O’Connor, also known by his social media handle PlugWalkJoe, engineered a devastating Twitter hack in 2020, hijacking prominent accounts on the platform and using them to promote a bitcoin giveaway scam. He made $103,960 from the scheme.

O’Connor pled guilty to partaking in SIM-swapping attacks that targeted high-profile executives in the cryptocurrency industry, resulting in the theft of $794,000 worth of digital currencies.

The hacker evaded authorities’ grasp for a year before his arrest in Spain in 2021. He has served 28 months of his sentence, with just under three years left to serve.
