FTX US & Sam Bankman-Fried Under Investigation by Regulator

The Texas State Securities Board is investigating FTX US and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried for potentially offering unregistered securities.

The investigation was revealed in a filing by the board’s enforcement director Joe Rotunda, who filed it within the bankruptcy case of Voyager Digital, Barrons reported on Monday.

The board, according to Rotunda, is looking into certain accounts offered by FTX US. These accounts pay investors yield in exchange for depositing their cryptocurrencies with the firm. People often refer to these types of accounts as “crypto yield farming.”

Texas and other state securities regulators have been pursuing Voyager and other crypto companies for offering similar crypto yield farming products, which they say are unregistered securities that don’t disclose their risks to investors. In some cases, these products have turned out to be fraudulent.

In September, FTX won a bid to acquire Voyager’s assets out of bankruptcy, in a deal valued at $1.4 billion. However, Rotunda said securities regulators should not allow the firm to purchase the assets until they can determine compliance with the law.

As of now, it is unclear if FTX US or Bankman-Fried have violated any laws. The investigation is still ongoing with no formal charges filed yet.

From Ripple to Solana: crypto-TradFi partnerships that go nowhere

After Solana boasted this week about its exclusive partnership with remittance giant Western Union for its USDPT stablecoin, researchers remained skeptical that the partnership will gain meaningful traction. The unfortunate reality of such announcements is initial hype and minimal follow-up. Indeed, for nearly a decade, crypto partnerships with traditional finance — and remittance companies in particular — have almost always fizzled out after their initial fanfare. Crypto giants like Ripple and Stellar have announced a dizzying array of Press Releases that ultimately resulted in minimal on-chain activity. According to a complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, for example, Ripple “made an avalanche of public statements” over the years in an attempt to increase the value of XRP as it sold over $2 billion worth of the token. Ripple contested that characterization and lost one complaint on the slightly lower amount of $728 million worth of unreg...

Why Solana is likely to collapse to $105,000, according to expert

As Solana (SOL) trades just below the $200 mark amid broader market weakness, an analyst has suggested that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a sharp correction toward $105. This outlook, shared by TradingShot in a TradingView post on October 21, is based on Solana’s trading pattern since bottoming out in early April. Since then, the token has moved within an upward channel, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows. SOL price analysis chart. Source: TradingView The bullish structure has so far been supported by the 200-week moving average (MA), which acted as the foundation for the April rebound. However, the analyst noted that the latest pullback has exposed underlying weaknesses, bringing the token dangerously close to a key support level at the 200-day moving average around $165. Despite holding this level on four successive tests, the outlook indicates that Solana’s price action shows signs of waning momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI...
