Wall Street investment advisers that provide clients with digital assets without the necessary qualifications are under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

According to a Reuters report published on Jan. 26, the probes are still active. However, after the FTX disasters, more people paid attention to the investigation. Unnamed sources said that the SEC’s investigations were conducted in secret.

Cryptocurrency Regulation: Navigating The Legal Landscape

March 17, 2023

The SEC, according to a source conversant with the situation, is seeking information about how businesses have acquired cryptocurrency exchanges. The widespread nature of the SEC’s enforcement action is indicative of a heightened level of regulatory scrutiny being applied to the cryptocurrency sector.

Firms can only hold client crypto assets or securities if they comply with the law. Having assets held by a third-party custodian service is one option. Even if the SEC doesn’t publish a directory of competent custodians, it’s nevertheless important to find one. Furthermore, businesses are not permitted to act as custodians by the SEC.

Compliance With Cryptocurrency Laws

Under new management, the SEC’s focus on cryptocurrency enforcement has only increased. Even still, the regulator is under constant pressure to take action against illegal behaviour in the bitcoin market.

The present investigation follows a series of failures in the crypto industry. That includes bringing fraud charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX’s founder and former CEO. Investors in FTX stock are also being questioned by the regulator over the nature of their due diligence processes prior to making an investment in the cryptocurrency exchange.

‘Cryptoqueen’ Boyfriend Gets Five Years in Onecoin Scam

Gilbert Armenta, the former boyfriend of wanted criminal Ruja Ignatovia, received a five-year prison term for stealing over 300 million dollars worth of investments from the investors of the fake OneCoin investors' funds. Gilbert was charged with taking an active role in a conspiracy that defrauded the client's tens of millions in the one coin project where he held a significant position in the defrauding company. The 59- year- old Gilbert was found guilty in 2018 of intent to engage in extortion and money laundering. Who is Cryptoqueen? Ruja Iganatovia OneCoin founder. OneCoin was introduced in early 2014 by Ruja Ignatovia, a citizen of Bulgaria. The venture was a four-billion-dollar high-rise marketing business. According to its supporters, the one coin was the revolution waiting for the financial sector. Additionally, the coin creators said that gold reserves supported the coin and also the blockchain; the creator also said that one coin would become superior to Bitcoin. (BTC) OneCoin’s supporters claimed that the number of coins in circulation was one- hundred and twenty billion and that the coin would be among the most valued cryptocurrencies worldwide. However, all this turned out to be a pyramid scheme since the blockchain, or real cryptocurrency, did not back it up. OneCoin embezzled nearly four billion dollars from millions of investors between its conception and its discovery as a Ponzi scheme in 2016.  Among the ways the investors were scammed was through educational courses for trading cryptocurrencies, for which they had to pay between â‚¬ 100 and 118000 Of this fraud, several investors lost their life savings with the development of Onecoin's case, which has been named one of the biggest and most complex fraud cases in history. Gilbert’s imprisonment has relieved the victims of the fraud, who haven't received reimbursement of their money. This is a step closer to the justice they hope to receive. As of the time of writing,...
