币界网报道:

美国证券交易委员会(SEC)和司法部(DOJ)指控Nader Al-Naji策划了一项涉及社交媒体平台BitClout及其原生代币BTCLT的数百万美元欺诈性加密资产计划。

证券监管机构的投诉显示,纳吉在2020年11月通过未注册的BTCLT发行和销售筹集了超过2.57亿美元。在这个过程中,据称这位高管误导了投资者,声称这些资金不会用于他或其他BitClout员工的赔偿。

然而,起诉书指控纳吉将其中700多万美元用于个人开支,包括在比佛利山庄租一座豪宅和向家人赠送奢侈的现金礼物。

根据本周早些时候发布的投诉,美国证券交易委员会指控Al Naji将BitClout描述为一个分散的项目,以逃避监管审查,并给人一种没有公司支持它的印象。据信,他使用了化名“Diamondhands”来制造自主权的幻觉。

美国证券交易委员会还声称,纳吉根据他的错误描述,从一家知名律师事务所获得了一封信,信中暗示BTCLT不太可能是联邦法律规定的证券,甚至告诉某些投资者,他正在进行这种诡计以避免法律合规。

美国证券交易委员会执法司司长Gurbir S.Grewal在评论这些指控时表示:,

“正如我们的投诉中所指控的那样,纳吉试图逃避联邦证券法,欺骗投资公众,错误地认为‘虚假的’去中心化通常会让监管机构感到困惑,并阻止他们追捕你。”他显然是错的:正如我们一次又一次地表明的那样,正如美国证券交易委员会在这里的详细指控所反映的那样,我们是以经济现实为指导的,而不是表面的标签。”

纳吉的妻子、母亲和全资实体也在起诉书中被列为他向他们提供的投资者资金的救济被告。在一项平行调查中,纽约南区美国检察官办公室对纳吉提出指控。

Kalshi Launches Data Feed on Sports and Cryptocurrency Perpetual Contracts via DoubleZero

Kalshi, a prediction market, has launched a real-time order book data feed for its sports and cryptocurrency perpetual contracts via DoubleZero's dedicated fiber-optic network, DoubleZero Edge. This provides subscribers with machine-readable market data without requiring them to build their own API-based infrastructure. DoubleZero co-founder Austin Federa emphasized that access to such data is a critical part of market structure, which has been lacking in newer financial segments like crypto, perpetuals, and prediction markets. He stated this initiative provides institutional-grade infrastructure to industry participants. According to Dune data, sports is Kalshi's second-largest category by weekly notional trading volume at 37.8%, while crypto is third at 20.3%. Exotic events rank first. This launch occurs amidst a regulatory dispute over Kalshi's sports contracts. Several U.S. states, including Michigan, Kentucky, and Nevada, have taken legal action or issued temporary bans, arguing these contracts are unlicensed sports betting. Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) maintain they are derivatives under the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction. The CFTC has also sued some states over this matter. Separately, OpenAI recently began displaying Kalshi's prediction market odds for FIFA World Cup matches in ChatGPT search results.
