Resumo

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued consent orders against Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, co-founder of FTX. The orders, filed in a New York district court, require both to cooperate with the CFTC and impose a five-year trading ban. Ellison also received a 10-year registration ban, while Wang faces an eight-year registration ban. A CFTC official stated the sanctions reflect their substantial assistance in the commission's investigations related to FTX. This action concludes the CFTC's enforcement case against them, initiated alongside a December 2022 complaint against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. The CFTC had previously ordered FTX and Alameda to pay $12.7 billion in restitution and disgorgement. Ellison and Wang, who testified against Bankman-Fried at his trial, faced fraud charges. Bankman-Fried was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Ellison served a shorter sentence and was released early, while Wang received credit for time already served.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced consent orders for civil actions against former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and FTX co-founder Zixiao "Gary" Wang.

The orders, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, require Ellison and Wang to continue cooperating with the CFTC and impose a five-year trading ban on both former executives. Ellison also received a 10-year registration ban, and the regulator imposed an eight-year registration ban on Wang.

"Ellison and Wang held senior positions and committed fraud at Alameda and FTX, for which the court held them accountable," said David Miller, Director of the CFTC's Division of Enforcement. "The sanctions imposed on them reflect their substantial assistance in the Commission's investigations related to FTX."

The CFTC orders conclude the regulator's enforcement actions against Ellison and Wang. They were named as defendants in the initial complaint filed in December 2022, alongside former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried. The Commission had ordered FTX and Alameda to pay $12.7 billion in disgorgement and restitution to affected customers under a judgment entered in August 2024.

Ellison and Wang, along with former FTX engineering director Nishad Singh, were charged with fraud and testified against Bankman-Fried at the trial regarding the misuse of customer funds from the now-defunct crypto exchange. The former FTX CEO was found guilty and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Ellison received a two-year sentence and was released early in January. Singh and Wang had their time in custody credited.

Unexpected Positive News for Altcoin Emerges Amid Sudden Market Surge!

Grayscale Investments has submitted a fourth amended S-3/A registration statement to the SEC for its Grayscale Zcash Trust, aiming to list shares on NYSE Arca under the ticker "ZCSH." The trust seeks to directly hold Zcash (ZEC) and offer investors exposure to its price movements without directly owning the cryptocurrency. If approved, the existing company will be renamed. Coinbase will serve as the primary broker and custodian, with Bank of New York Mellon as transfer agent. The filing also reveals that a subsidiary of Grayscale's parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), is in discussions to potentially acquire approximately 200,000 ZEC through the trust, though no binding agreement is yet in place.

OCC head promises final GENIUS rules by November

The head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Jonathan Gould, has committed to releasing final rules for implementing the GENIUS Act by November. Speaking at an industry symposium, Gould stated the OCC is considering feedback on its February proposal ahead of the law's January 2027 enactment, with applications from stablecoin issuers expected to be processed starting that year. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins. While several agencies have published proposals, the OCC's upcoming final rule is seen as a key step to provide regulatory clarity before the deadline.

Bitcoin Soars Toward $70,000 Amid $1.3 Billion Short Squeeze

Bitcoin surged sharply towards $70,000 amid a significant short squeeze. The price, previously stuck in a $61.5k-$65k range, broke out after the US Treasury announced plans to double its maximum purchase amount for long-term bonds to support liquidity. This news pushed down bond yields, making riskier assets like Bitcoin more attractive, and coincided with renewed inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs. The rapid price move above $66,000 triggered massive liquidations in the derivatives market, predominantly of leveraged short positions. Approximately $1.48 billion worth of positions were liquidated in an hour, with around $1.3 billion coming from shorts. These forced closures created a self-reinforcing buying cycle, accelerating the rally to levels not seen since early summer. The key question is whether the momentum can be sustained after the forced buying subsides. Maintaining the breakout likely requires continued spot market demand, indicated by ETF flows. The next major test is the $69,000-$70,000 resistance zone. As of Wednesday late morning ET, Bitcoin was trading around $68,468.

Organization Affiliated with Injective Registered with SEC as Transfer Agent

A company affiliated with the Injective blockchain ecosystem, Injective Institutional Services, announced its effective registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a transfer agent. This adds regulated securities record-keeping to Injective's tokenization infrastructure. The registration allows the affiliate to maintain securities ownership records and process changes in ownership structure—a key function on traditional securities markets that can also support tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The company plans to integrate these transfer agent functions with Injective Mint, a platform for issuing and managing tokenized assets. This move follows Injective's recent expanded efforts in tokenization, which include markets providing access to digital asset holding companies, stocks, and pre-IPO company shares. The filing for registration was initially submitted to the SEC in July. Transfer agents are a regulated part of the U.S. securities market infrastructure, responsible for tracking security owners and processing ownership transfers, a function particularly relevant for the on-chain issuance and transfer of securities.

Wyoming Transfers FRNT from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission, the state-issued digital dollar issuer, has migrated its Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. Under a multi-year agreement, CCIP will be the sole cross-chain interoperability infrastructure for the token. FRNT is the first fiat-reserve-backed stablecoin issued by a U.S. state authority, designed for payments, settlements, and other government and commercial operations. It currently operates on multiple networks including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Hedera, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana. Initially, the commission used LayerZero's Omnichain Fungible Token standard to issue FRNT across multiple blockchains. Following a review of LayerZero's disclosure practices and operational security assurances, the commission decided to switch systems. Wyoming has been developing FRNT's multi-chain model since 2023. The move to CCIP will maintain the token's availability across several public blockchains while replacing the infrastructure for its transfer between networks. The commission states this will enhance operational security as the state expands its use of digital assets.
