Binance court case update as of November 29

After Changpeng Zhao, the (now former) CEO of cryptocurrency trading platform Binance, pleaded guilty as part of the over $4 billion settlement with the United States regulators to keep the business running, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has continued to probe Binance.US.

Indeed, the SEC is still looking for evidence that the company and its founder may have a backdoor – similar to that of the crashed crypto exchange FTX – to control assets stored on the Binance.US platform, according to a report on November 27.

Specifically, at a Monday status conference, Binance.US argued that the SEC could not prove any misuse of the users’ assets and was overstepping while the regulators invoked the major questions doctrine requiring clear congressional authorization for regulatory actions. A joint status update is pending until mid-December.

Binance’s court troubles

As a reminder, Binance Holdings Limited, the entity operating the world’s largest crypto exchange, pleaded guilty to charges of anti-money laundering, unlicensed money transfer, and sanctions violations on November 21. Furthermore, CZ has also agreed to a $50 million fine, stepped down from his position, and faces prison.

Following this news, Binance Coin (BNB) suffered major losses, having dropped 15% as traders demonstrated distrust in the time token of the top crypto exchange. However, it is currently trading at $229.40, recording an increase of 0.38% on the day, as per the latest data on November 29.

According to JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the settlement was a positive development for both Binance and the broader crypto sector, as it helped remove a systemic risk from a potential Binance crash, as Finbold reported on November 22.

Meanwhile, football star Cristiano Ronaldo is facing charges over “promotion, assisting, and/or actively participating in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in coordination with Binance” in a lawsuit arguing that several individuals experienced financial losses as a result of this advertising.

Shiba Inu Price on Black Friday 2023

Image
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has become one of the most prominent meme-inspired cryptocurrencies since its launch in August 2020. The developers behind the decentralized token have worked to build an ecosystem of projects for the SHIB community. However, the recent launch of the layer-2 solution Shibarium failed to significantly boost prices amid the ongoing crypto bear market. With Thanksgiving approaching, here is our Shiba Inu price prediction for Black Friday 2023. What is Shiba Inu? A Brief History Shiba Inu is a decentralized cryptocurrency that spawned from a meme-inspired online community. The token’s mascot is a Shiba Inu dog, which led to the name. In mid-2020, an anonymous individual or group known as Ryoshi started working on Shiba Inu as an experimental decentralized community project. Ryoshi intended to take the meme coin concept behind Dogecoin and build an ecosystem around it. Also read: Ben Armstrong Sues Ex-Colleagues Over Alleged Stolen Lamborghini After launch...

This is what a Trump capital gains tax  could look like

President Biden recently made a stir with his latest budget proposal, which included several provisions that alarmed investors. The first and arguably most important for anyone involved with the stock market is the proposed new and increased capital gains tax. Under the plan, the rate would reach its highest since the tax was established in 1913 at a maximum of 44.6%. The proposal immediately proved controversial, given how it compares to the original maximum of 7% and the 1921 Revenue Act maximum of 12.5%. It is also substantially higher than the rate set during former President Trump’s term when it was reformed not to exceed 20%.
