美国证券交易委员会指控NovaTech创始人涉嫌6.5亿美元加密货币计划

币界网报道:

美国证券交易委员会(SEC)周一表示,该机构已对NovaTech的创始人提起诉讼,指控其经营庞氏骗局,该骗局净赚6.5亿美元的加密货币。

美国证券交易委员会指控Cynthia和Eddy Petiton涉嫌将该骗局策划为一个“加密资产投资计划”和多层次营销(MLM)公司,据该机构称,该公司在2019年至2023年间主要针对海地裔美国人社区。

美国证券交易委员会沃思堡地区办事处主任埃里克·沃纳在一份声明中表示:“NovaTech和请愿书给全球数万名受害者造成了难以估量的损失。”。“正如我们所声称的那样,这种规模的传销计划需要发起人来推动它们,今天的行动表明,我们不仅会追究这些大规模计划的主要设计者的责任,还会追究那些通过非法招揽受害者来传播欺诈行为的发起人的责任。”

6月,纽约总检察长Letitia James分别起诉NovaTech和AWS Mining运营非法传销。纽约股份公司表示,骗子从投资者那里获得了10亿美元,其中11000美元来自纽约。

“这些加密货币公司以移民和宗教社区为目标,承诺财务自由,但却偷走了他们的钱,耗尽了他们的毕生积蓄,”詹姆斯当时说。

根据美国证券交易委员会的投诉,NovaTech向投资者承诺利润和资金安全,声称他们将投资于加密货币和外汇市场。相反,他们将大部分资金用于支付现有投资者和发起人的费用,同时为自己吸走了数百万美元。

美国证券交易委员会表示:“当NovaTech最终倒闭时,大多数投资者无法撤回投资,导致重大损失。”。

虽然NovaTech能够窃取数亿加密货币,但美国证券交易委员会的新投诉没有具体说明骗局中窃取了哪种类型的加密货币。

美国证券交易委员会还对NovaTech的发起人Martin Zizi、Dapilinu Dunbar、James Corbett、Corrie Sampson、John Garofano和Marsha Hadley提出指控,指控他们为该计划招募投资者和发起人。

美国证券交易委员会表示:“NovaTech为他们及其网络招募的投资者支付了可观的佣金。”。“当Zizi、Dunbar、Corbett和Sampson意识到NovaTech的某些危险信号,包括美国和加拿大监管机构对其采取的监管行动时,他们继续招募投资者并淡化了这些危险信号。”

美国证券交易委员会表示,Zizi已同意在等待法院批准的情况下,通过同意10万美元的民事罚款来部分解决其指控,并被禁止参与未来的类似活动。然而,该机构表示,齐齐没有承认或否认美国证券交易委员会的指控,并指出其他处罚将在稍后确定。

美国证券交易委员会没有立即回应Decrypt的置评请求。

With Labour Changing Leaders, Is the Long-Suppressed UK Crypto Market About to Turn Around?

Labour leader change: Hope for UK crypto market? With Keir Starmer's resignation as Prime Minister and Labour leader, a leadership contest has begun. Andy Burnham, the former Mayor of Greater Manchester and now the overwhelming favourite to succeed, has sparked cautious optimism within the UK cryptocurrency industry. Industry figures hope Burnham, seen as more receptive to digital assets than much of the Labour establishment, could shift the party's traditionally harder line. The leadership transition is expected to be swift, with prediction markets like Polymarket assigning a 97% probability to Burnham becoming the next Prime Minister. However, this political shift comes as a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto, established by law earlier this year, is in its final implementation phase. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is finalizing detailed rules covering trading, custody, stablecoins, and market abuse, with the full regime set to go live in October 2027. While a new Prime Minister can reshuffle ministers and adjust policy priorities, the core regulatory architecture is now law and unlikely to be fundamentally overturned without significant, deliberate government intervention. The main industry hope is that a Burnham government, focusing on economic growth, will ensure the FCA's implementation is pragmatic and growth-oriented. Industry advocates seek proportionate capital requirements, a streamlined licensing process, and clear rules for staking and stablecoins. They argue that embracing the crypto sector could attract investment and listings to London's struggling markets. Despite the optimism, concerns remain that regulatory implementation may still be influenced by more sceptical factions within the Labour party.

A 60-Day Window Depresses Oil Prices, So Why Is the Market Falling Instead?

International oil prices continued to decline on June 23, extending significant losses from the previous session. The market shifted focus from Middle East military risks to actual supply changes following a temporary U.S.-Iran arrangement. The immediate trigger was the resumption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping chokepoint, with two tankers passing through, signaling eased near-term supply disruption fears. Prices retreated as the "worst-case scenario" was temporarily averted. A reported 60-day window in a U.S.-Iran understanding allows Iran to sell oil during this period, further dampening supply concerns. However, this arrangement is temporary, linked to nuclear talks, and does not guarantee a long-term solution. Market sentiment remains cautious because the deal could still unravel, potentially reinstating sanctions or disrupting shipping. While these developments have lowered immediate risk premiums, prices have not fully returned to pre-conflict levels. Geopolitical news, particularly regarding the stability of the Strait of Hormuz or the progress of negotiations, could quickly reverse the price drop. Additionally, low U.S. strategic petroleum reserves limit the emergency buffer available if supply shocks reemerge. Therefore, the current price decline reflects a reduction in near-term panic, not a complete elimination of Middle East supply risks.

SK Hynix Market Cap Exceeds Samsung for First Time in 26 Years, Korean Broker Calls for 50% More Upside

SK Hynix's market capitalization surpassed Samsung Electronics for the first time in 26 years on June 22, reaching 208.1 trillion won. The shift reflects a market trend where companies directly benefiting from AI infrastructure, like SK Hynix, are receiving higher valuation premiums than diversified giants. The surge is driven by AI-driven demand for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), where SK Hynix holds a dominant 70-80% market share. Its Q1 2026 revenue exceeded 50 trillion won for the first time, with an operating profit margin of 72%. Hanwha Investment & Securities significantly raised its price target for SK Hynix to 430,000 won, the highest among Korean brokerages. The key rationale is that Long-Term Supply Agreements (LTAs) and robust HBM demand have fundamentally reduced the company's historical profit volatility. Several other brokers have also raised targets, arguing the valuation framework for memory semiconductors is being rewritten, moving away from a cyclical model. Despite the bullish outlook, the stock experienced a pullback of over 5% in regular trading on June 23 after briefly surpassing 3 million won pre-market, amid broader tech sector weakness. Some analysts caution that the市值 overtaking Samsung, whose profit scale and growth forecasts remain higher, could signal short-term overheating. However, high-return investors viewed the dip as a buying opportunity.

GPU Rental Prices Drop 30% in Three Weeks: AI Value Chain Migrating from Nvidia to Memory Chips

GPU rental prices for Nvidia's flagship B200 chip have fallen by approximately 30% over three weeks, dropping from a high of $6.11/hour to $4.22/hour. This decline signals a potential easing of the "compute scarcity" narrative that has long supported AI hardware valuations. Concurrently, the semiconductor market is witnessing a significant divergence: while the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) has risen 15% in the past month, with memory giants Micron and SanDisk each surging nearly 60%, Nvidia's stock has declined about 3% over the same period. Analysts suggest this shift indicates that the AI value chain's bottleneck and profits are migrating from compute (GPUs) to memory. Demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) remains intensely strong, with contract prices soaring over 100% in H1 2026, granting memory manufacturers significant pricing power. In contrast, increased B200 supply from improved manufacturing yields and competitive pressure from new cloud providers are softening GPU rental rates. While long-term contracts, like SpaceX's $30 billion deal with Google, show sustained large-scale demand for Nvidia hardware, the softening spot prices pressure the margins of cloud providers and could eventually impact Nvidia's order flow if chip prices don't adjust. The key takeaway for investors is not a weakening AI thesis, but a recalibration within the sector: pricing power appears to be strengthening for memory chipmakers while showing signs of strain for leading GPU suppliers.
