Celsius, Ex-CEO Alex Mashinsky Broke CFTC Rules: Bloomberg

CFTC could bring a case against Celsius by the end of the month, if its commissioners agree with the findings.

Failed crypto lender Celsius Network and its former CEO Alex Mashinsky could be named in a case brought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as early as this month, according to a report from Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

The report says that investigators at the CFTC have concluded that the bankrupt lender and its CEO broke the regulators’ rules by misleading investors, the report added. If a majority of the CFTC’s commissioners agree, the agency could file a case against them.

An email to Celsius’ press inbox went unanswered. CFTC did not immediately respond to CoinDesk’s request for comment.

In January, an independent examiner appointed by U.S. courts determined that at times, Celsius operated in a manner similar to a Ponzi scheme, an opinion shared by Vermont’s financial regulator.

“In every key respect – from how Celsius described its contract with its customers to the risks it took with their crypto assets –how Celsius ran its business differed significantly from what Celsius told its customers,” the U.S. court-appointed examiner wrote.

Taylor Swift Approved Sponsorship Deal With FTX, Despite Previous Reports: NYT

Swift signed the sponsorship agreement worth as much as $100 million following more than six months of discussions.

Music megastar Taylor Swift approved a sponsorship deal with the now bankrupt crypto exchange FTX last year, despite previous reports that she had walked away after conducting her own due diligence on the firm, the New York Times reported on Thursday.

In the spring of 2022, the pop star discussed a deal with FTX worth as much as $100 million that potentially included sponsorship of a tour.

Swift signed the sponsorship agreement with FTX following more than six months of discussions but in the end, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried pulled out of the deal, according to the New York Times, citing three people with knowledge of the matter. The decision left Swift’s team frustrated and disappointed, according to two of the people.

A lawyer suing celebrities who had endorsed FTX had previously said on a podcast that Swift had done due diligence the crypto exchange, asking it to prove that its cryptocurrencies were not unregistered securities, which led her to reject the deal. This led to multiple stories praising Swift’s business intelligence.

Taylor Swift’s management did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.

News that FTX had pulled out of the deal was also reported by CNBC, quoting a source familiar with the matter.

FOMC Minutes Show Uncertainty, Cautious Optimism. Large Bitcoin Investors Are Taking Divergent Paths

The largest and smallest bitcoin whales have added to their holdings, but the group in between has jettisoned some of their tokens.

Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes released Wednesday from the June meeting suggest that central bankers are uncertain about the economy’s fate in the months ahead.

How their thinking figures in rate hike decisions could profoundly affect crypto markets. Meanwhile the number of bitcoin “whales” has increased, although their distribution has shifted.

June FOMC caution

FOMC minutes show Fed officials cautiously forecasting the possibility of economic recession within the next six months, “followed by a moderately paced recovery”

They also voiced expectations that such a recession would be “neither deep, nor prolonged.”

Still, they appear to be walking a tightrope, with the recent decision to pause rate hikes coming across as a first-do-no-harm approach to monetary policy. The U.S. economy has been more resilient than the FOMC expected. Conflicting economic data has created uncertainty.

For example, at 8:15 a.m. (ET), ADP employment data showed that private business created more than 497,000 jobs in June, the most since February 2022, and well above expectations of 228,000. A mere hour and 45 minutes later, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed an unexpectedly large contraction of job openings during the same period.

Whales differing paths

While the larger investing community wrestles with macroeconomic data, some bitcoin whales have grown in size, even while displaying some of the same uncertainty as the FOMC.

Bitcoin whales are investors holding more than 1,000 BTC. Since June 14, a day before asset management giant BlackRock’s filing for a spot bitcoin ETF, the number of BTC whales has increased 1.6%, reversing a short-term downtrend that began on May 20.

The distribution of supply among whales implies differing levels of confidence.

Investors holding 1,000-10,000 BTC have risen 90,396 BTC (2% higher), since June 14. A similar gain occurred among investors holding more than 100,000 BTC. Their supply grew by 3% (107,883 BTC).

But since June 14, the supply of BTC for investors holding between 10,000 and 100,000 BTC has fallen 10% (184,153 BTC). This group views risk differently and has less confidence in bitcoin than the other two whale cohorts.

As the macroeconomic environment comes into focus, investors should monitor which cohort made the more profitable decision.

Top Binance Execs Leave Company Over CZ’s Handling of DOJ Investigation: Report

Three senior officials left the exchange this week, a source told Fortune.

At least three senior officials have departed embattled crypto exchange Binance this week as the company prepares to defend itself on multiple fronts, Fortune reported on Thursday.

Binance General Counsel Han Ng, Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann, and Senior Vice President for Compliance Steven Christie are among those that have resigned, a source familiar with the matter told Fortune. In addition, Binance’s Global Vice President of Marketing and Communications Steve Milton left the company in June, according to his LinkedIn profile. Their departure follows Senior Director of Investigations Matthew Price’s recent decision to part ways with the exchange.

A Binance spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.

The decisions by Ng, Hillmann and Christie to leave had to do with Binance founder and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s response to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, according to Fortune, citing a source familiar with the situation. The investigation reportedly relates to Binance’s attempts to fool U.S. regulators and alleged money laundering and violations of sanctions.

Hillman tweeted on Thursday, however, that he was leaving on good terms and that he “continues to respect and support” Zhao.

Binance is already under investigation from multiple regulators around the world, and the exodus of executives from the company’s legal and compliance units is likely to complicate its efforts to defend itself.

In June, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Binance, alleging the exchange had committed 13 counts of securities law violations. Two months earlier, the company faced a lawsuit from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It also faces several investigations led by regulators in Europe and Australia.

The investigations have stymied the operations of the exchange’s stateside business, as well as that of its international trading arm, which U.S. regulators have speculated are deeply enmeshed. In the wake of the SEC lawsuit, Binance lost a major European banking partner. Meanwhile, Binance.US announced it would cease trading in U.S. dollars.

The price of BNB, Binance’s native crypto token, has dipped about 2% since the publication of Fortune’s article.

Kraken Co-Founder Jesse Powell Under Federal Investigation on Claims of Hacking, Cyberstalking Non-Profit

FBI agents searched Powell’s Los Angeles home as it probes whether he interfered with computer accounts of Verge Center for the Arts. A lawyer for Powell said he’s done “nothing wrong” and unrelated to “his conduct in the cryptocurrency arena.”

Crypto exchange Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell is being investigated by Federal law enforcement on claims that he hacked and cyberstalked a non-profit that he founded, a lawyer for Powell confirmed after a report by The New York Times on Thursday.

The criminal probe is looking into Verge Center for the Arts’ allegations that Powell hindered its computer accounts, obstructing access to emails and other messages, The Times reported, citing three unnamed sources.

The paper reported that agents had searched Powell’s Brentwood home in Los Angeles’ Westside, seizing electronic devices and said that law enforcement from the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office for the Northern District of California have been investigating Powell since at least the fall.

Powell has not been charged with any crimes. Brandon Fox, a lawyer with Jenner & Block, said in a statement shared with CoinDesk that Verge “provided a one-sided account that did not provide the government with the full picture, showing that Powell “did nothing wrong.” Fox added that the matter is unrelated to “Mr. Powell’s employment or his conduct in the cryptocurrency arena.”

Last month, Powell sued Verge in California Superior Court, claiming that has “owns and has rightful access” to the email accounts and that he remains a Verge board member, Fox said. A lawyer for Verge said the Powell’s claims were unfounded, The Times reported. At the time of publication, Verge had not responded to a CoinDesk request for comment.

Powell co-founded the Sacramento-based Verge in 2007, but the organization removed him from its board in 2022, saying that he had violated Verge’s “guiding principles,” The Times reported.

In a statement shared with CoinDesk, a Kraken spokesperson said the exchange was aware of the civil dispute, investigation and search warrants.

“The US Attorney has advised us that Kraken is not a part of the investigation in any way, and the investigation does not concern Jesse’s affiliation with Kraken,” the spokesperson said.

Changpeng Zhao Calls Exec Departures “FUD”

Binance General Counsel Han Ng, Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann, and Senior Vice President for Compliance Steven Christie are among those that left the company, reportedly over its handling of DOJ investigations.

Departures of key executive personnel from Binance are part of the company’s usual turnover of staff, Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao tweeted Friday morning Asia time.

“More FUD about some departures. Yes, there is turnover (at every company). But the reasons dreamed up by the “news” are completely wrong,” CZ tweeted. “As markets and the global environment for crypto changes, as our organization evolves, and as personal situations change, there is turnover at every company.”

Earlier, Fortune reported that high-profile personnel in senior leadership positions, including Chief Strategy Officer Patrick Hillmann and Senior Director of Investigations Matthew Price, had left the company because of CZ’s response to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

For his part, Hillman tweeted that he was leaving the exchange on good terms and it’s “simply time for me to move on to the next challenge”.

Bloomberg also reported that Yibo Ling, Binance’s Chief Business Officer, has left the company, and U.S. staff are being asked to relocate offshore or be laid off.

BNB, Binance’s exchange token, which has been called a security, is down 2.4% on-day.
