Rep. Waters Calls for SEC Hearing Over Crypto Enforcement Shift

US Representative Maxine Waters has called for an oversight hearing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), criticizing what she describes as a troubling shift in the agency’s enforcement approach toward the cryptocurrency industry. In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee, Waters expressed concern over the lack of congressional oversight and transparency under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, contrasting it with the more frequent testimonies given by former chairman Gary Gensler. Waters highlighted the SEC’s decision to drop several high-profile enforcement cases—including those involving Coinbase, Binance, and entrepreneur Justin Sun—as particularly alarming. She warned that these actions risk undermining investor confidence and the agency’s ability to combat fraud. Since Atkins took office in April, the SEC has adopted a more crypto-friendly stance, easing regulations and halting certain lawsuits. Waters questioned whether political influence may be affecting the SEC’s independence and urged the committee to demand greater clarity and accountability to protect investors in the digital asset market.

Musk and Vance Jump In: How a Spelling Error Stirred Up U.S. Politics and Crypto Sentiment?

An investigative report by Nick Shirley exposing alleged fraud at a Minnesota daycare center has ignited a political and crypto frenzy across the U.S. The report, which revealed a daycare receiving $1.9 million in tax-free funds despite misspelling "learning" as "learing" on its sign and having no visible children, quickly went viral with hundreds of millions of views. High-profile figures like Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance publicly engaged with the story, with Vance calling the investigation more valuable than all 2024 Pulitzer winners. The misspelling "learing" quickly became a meme, spawning a Solana-based token with a $3.34 million market cap. Shirley himself launched a creator token, $thenickshirley, on Base via Zora, which reached a $9 million market cap and earned him over $41,000 in royalties. This move was praised by Coinbase's Brian Armstrong as a successful example of on-chain content monetization. Prediction markets on Polymarket have also begun taking bets on potential legal outcomes. The event is seen as a real-world experiment in creator economies, demonstrating how public influence can be directly monetized through decentralized platforms with minimal friction and greater transparency, potentially signaling a new direction for media and content industries.

Trust Wallet Reveals Number of Victims from the Hack and the Compensation Problem

Trust Wallet CEO Eowyn Chen revealed that last week's hack affected over 2,500 user accounts. However, the service has received approximately 5,000 compensation claims, indicating a significant number of fraudulent or duplicate requests, which is slowing down the payout process. The hack occurred on the night of December 26 due to a vulnerability in the browser extension version 2.68. An update (v2.69) was released, and the company promised to cover the estimated $7 million in losses. The verification of claims is being conducted alongside the technical investigation, prioritizing accuracy over speed. Trust Wallet is working with Google to obtain Chrome audit logs and is conducting a detailed security check on remote devices. In a related context, a recent Chainalysis report noted that 2025 has seen over 158,000 personal wallet compromises, resulting in $713 million in losses.

Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison Could Be Free by January 2026 as FTX Case Enters Final Phase

Former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison is set for early release, with updated federal records indicating she could be freed by January 21, 2026. Ellison, who was sentenced to two years in prison in September 2024 after pleading guilty to multiple fraud charges, has served approximately 14 months in custody. Her cooperation with prosecutors was instrumental in convicting FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and other executives. Ellison was transferred to a community confinement program in October 2025, a step often reserved for inmates nearing release. Early release is attributed to good behavior credits and programs under the First Step Act. Following her release, Ellison will face three years of supervised release and a ten-year ban from serving as an officer or director of any public company or crypto exchange.

SEC Files Complaint Against Crypto Exchanges In $14 Million Fraud Scheme

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a complaint in Colorado against a network of crypto exchanges and investment clubs accused of orchestrating a $14 million fraud scheme. The entities, including AI Investment Education, AI Wealth, Lane Wealth, and Zenith Asset Tech Foundation, allegedly used WhatsApp and social media to pose as financial professionals offering AI-generated investment insights. Victims were persuaded to invest in three fake crypto trading platforms—Morocoin Tech, Berge Blockchain Technology, and Cirkor—which falsely promised security token offerings resembling IPOs. The SEC described the operation as an "elaborate confidence scam," where funds were never invested but misappropriated from the start. Withdrawal requests were denied unless upfront fees were paid, and no withdrawals were honored. The $14 million was funneled overseas through complex bank and crypto networks. The case highlights a prevalent multistep fraud targeting investors with devastating consequences.

Pump.fun Lawsuit Annual Review: Mysterious Informant, Internal Records, and Answers Yet to Be Revealed

Summary: In January 2025, investors filed lawsuits against meme coin launchpad Pump.fun and its founders in a New York court, alleging the platform sold unregistered securities after they suffered losses (one plaintiff lost $231, another $242,000). The cases were later consolidated. The lawsuit expanded significantly in July 2025, with plaintiffs accusing Pump.fun, Solana Labs, Solana Foundation, and Jito Labs of operating as a coordinated "racketeering enterprise." Core allegations include selling unregistered securities, operating an illegal gambling operation, enabling wire fraud through misleading "fair launch" claims, facilitating money laundering (including for the Lazarus Group), and a complete lack of investor protections (KYC/AML). A major turning point came when a confidential informant provided plaintiffs with approximately 15,000 internal messages from Pump.fun, Solana, and Jito, allegedly revealing detailed technical coordination and discussions on MEV exploitation for insider advantage. The plaintiffs are preparing a Second Amended Complaint incorporating this evidence, due by January 7, 2026. Amid the legal battle, Pump.fun's weekly trading volume has plummeted over 80% from its January peak. The case raises fundamental questions about decentralization and fairness in the crypto ecosystem.

Coinbase Rep Scam: Brooklyn DA Charges Man In $16M Fraud Case – Details

A Brooklyn man, Ronald Spektor, has been indicted for allegedly orchestrating a $16 million phishing scam by posing as a Coinbase representative. From April 2023 to December 2024, he contacted users, falsely claiming their assets were at risk, and directed them to transfer funds to a wallet he controlled. Approximately 100 victims were identified across the U.S., with individual losses reaching up to $1 million. Spektor laundered the stolen crypto through mixers and gambling sites. He faces 31 counts, including grand larceny and money laundering, and is being held on $2.5 million bail. Authorities have seized $505,000 in assets so far. Coinbase collaborated in the investigation, aiding in identifying the perpetrator and assisting law enforcement. The Brooklyn DA emphasized a continued commitment to combating cryptocurrency fraud.

MEXC Under Fire Again After Users Flag Premarket Scams

MEXC faces renewed criticism as users report fund losses and premarket trading issues. Analyst Gautamgg highlighted two recent cases where the exchange allegedly violated its own rules. In one instance, a buyer purchased tokens at $0.40, but when the listing price reached $1.30, the seller defaulted. Instead of refunding the buyer as per Rule 10, MEXC retained the collateral. Another user reported canceled trades and frozen USDT for over 10 days with unclear support responses. This controversy follows previous accusations in late October when MEXC was accused of freezing over $3 million in user funds without justification. The exchange's CSO later apologized and released the funds. MEXC has since published Proof of Reserves and claims to combat fraud, having blocked over 70,000 fraud attempts recently. However, trust concerns persist as crypto scams surge industry-wide, with TRM Labs reporting a 456% increase in AI-related scams and $2.47 billion lost in the first half of the year.

SEC Moves To Bar FTX Execs And Ex-Alameda Research CEO From Public Company Roles

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed proposed final consent orders against former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and ex-FTX executives Gary Wang and Nishad Singh. The regulator alleges they participated in a multi-year scheme where FTX raised over $1.8 billion by misleading investors about the safety of the platform and the relationship with Alameda. The SEC claims Alameda was given special privileges, including an unlimited line of credit funded by FTX customer deposits, which were misused for trading, investments, and executive loans. Without admitting guilt, the three agreed to permanent antifraud violations bans. Ellison accepted a 10-year officer-director bar, while Wang and Singh agreed to 8-year bans.

Terraform Labs Sues Jump Trading For Alleged Role In 2022 Collapse

Following the 15-year prison sentencing of its founder Do Kwon, Terraform Labs' bankruptcy administrator has filed a $4 billion lawsuit against Jump Trading. The suit alleges the firm engaged in "illicit market manipulation, self-dealing, and misuse of assets" to enrich itself at investors' expense during Terra's 2022 collapse. The event, triggered when the TerraUSD stablecoin lost its peg, wiped out an estimated $40 billion in value. Jump Trading has dismissed the lawsuit as a desperate attempt to deflect blame. Separately, Kwon, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the U.S., may face a second trial and over 30 years in prison if extradited to South Korea, where over 200,000 victims reported losses exceeding $204 million.
