This time the SEC hits the crypto exchange Kraken over a possible violation of the Securities Act. Incoming CEO Dave Ripley has refused to delist tokens determined as securities under the Howey test and is now having troubles with the SEC. This case may be settled in the coming days and will make a decisive difference for the entire crypto community. It is also rumored that the SEC intends to ban retail staking. Genesis and Gemini keep their fingers crossed, as they have already stepped into Kraken's shoes once before.

The charismatic founder of BitMEX has revealed his vision for the market. Spoiler: he moves liquid fiat money from treasury bills to cash and intends to invest it all in high-risk assets (bitcoin and other crypto, of course). Key takeaways from Arthur Hayes' post: 📌 S&P500 is up 40% in 3 months; 📌 Fed balance sheet will drop $100 billion every month; 📌 The market will get an extra $500 billion out of the Treasury General Account (TGA), which will accelerate inflation; 📌 When the money runs out (sometime in July), Congress will vote to increase the debt ceiling; 📌 The market will end up flooded with unbacked debt liabilities; 📌 The world's banks will be forced to resort to printing more money (this process has already begun). "The party has begun!", Arthur concludes.

Justin Sun, the hype man of the century, is on it again. His Huobi exchange announced the listing of a provocative coin FUD (FTX Users Debt). The developers promise to buy back all the tokens in the future and use these funds to cover FTX's debts. Amid the announcement, the price of FUD soared by several hundred percent, but it rolled back quickly. There is a probability that the FUD token may become popular.

The Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has changed its virtual asset circulation rules. A significant change was the prohibition on so-called privacy coins such as ZCash and Monero. Organizations operating within the local jurisdiction are also prohibited from issuing and promoting this type of cryptocurrency. Well, you can't really blame a major cryptocurrency hub like Dubai for that. They provide transparency and demand it in return.

Balance CEO Ric Burton says Uniswap founder Hayden Adams, who he once considered to be his closest friend, has fooled him. According to Burton, he invested a lot of effort to take Uniswap to the market. He paid for developer services, paid for Adams' rent, dipped into Balance's money to cover his expenses. Burton was sure that Hayden would include him in the Uniswap round for this help. But he never became the co-founder of Uniswap. And now, when his $25,000 would be worth $18 million, he has brought this story public. Of course, it's not about the money. It's all about justice.

The decentralized Damus app had hardly topped the list of the most downloaded apps when the Chinese government blocked it. The Damus app has been removed from the Chinese AppStore because it "contains content that is illegal in China.” The ban was initiated by the local Cyberspace Administration. According to the CAC, Damus provides "information services capable of social mobilization.” At least it has no attribute of denazification.

Over the last day, Voyager Digital transferred assets worth approximately $9.6 million to Coinbase, Binance US, and Kraken, including 4.9 million VGX, 221,000 LINK, 3,050 ETH, and 270 billion SHIB. Another interesting fact: one of the addresses has 6.8 trillion SHIB, putting it in 18th place among the largest owners of the meme coins after the transfer. We've got a riddle for you: you're broke, you need money, the enemy is nearby, so you transfer 270 billion coins to the exchange. Is it for a far-off journey or an inheritance?

Lending protocol Everlend Finance has announced that it has ceased operations. The reason is simple: a lack of liquidity. The codebase is left open-sourced by the developers so that others can continue working on the project. However, the team also maintains that Everlend is a fantastic product that will eventually be very convenient, and that Solana is the most effective network for its implementation. The app is now in withdrawal-only mode
