After the Collapse of the Believe Flywheel Myth, the 26-Year-Old Prodigy Founder Stands as Defendant in Federal Court

In March 2026, 26-year-old Australian entrepreneur Ben Pasternak and his entities B24, Inc. and Believe Foundation were sued in a New York federal court. Investors accused Pasternak of deceptive practices and false advertising through three consecutive token offerings and a forced token migration, causing hundreds of millions in losses. The case centers on Believe (formerly Clout.me), a Solana-based social token launch platform Pasternak founded. Users could create tokens via tweets, with the platform token LAUNCHCOIN reaching a peak market cap of $370 million in May 2025. Pasternak initially claimed he had "zero ownership" of his self-named token, PASTERNAK, which crashed over 95% within a week. In October 2025, Believe forced a migration from LAUNCHCOIN to a new token, BELIEVE, increasing total supply by 33.3%. New tokens were allocated to team members, investors, and the foundation, diluting existing holders. Pasternak falsely claimed no tokens were allocated to insiders for a year, while the foundation received 40 million tokens with no lock-up. The platform generated an estimated $54 million in fees from $6 billion in trading volume. Pasternak earned creator fees throughout. After the migration, significant selling occurred from top wallets. BELIEVE’s value plummeted from its peak to around $1.2 million. Pasternak, a former teen prodigy who dropped out of school at 15, had previously founded apps like Monkey and the food-tech startup NUGGS. His personal life also drew attention, including a public breakup in early 2026. Once hailed as "the next Zuckerberg," he now faces legal and reputational collapse.

Bithumb Seeks Legal Action To Recover Unreturned Bitcoin From $40B Payout Error

Crypto exchange Bithumb is pursuing legal action to freeze and recover approximately 7 Bitcoin (worth nearly $500,000) that were not returned after a major payout error in February. The incident occurred when Bithumb accidentally distributed 620,000 Bitcoin (valued at over $40 billion) to 249 users due to a "fat-finger" mistake. Although the exchange recovered 99.7% of the funds, a small portion was sold or converted by users. Under South Korean law, such mistaken payments are considered unjust enrichment and must be returned. The error also prompted regulatory scrutiny, leading to stricter asset-matching requirements for domestic crypto exchanges and a preliminary six-month business suspension notice for Bithumb over AML and KYC violations.

Yuga Labs settles with Ryder Ripps, secures sweeping ban on RR/BAYC NFTs

Yuga Labs has settled its lawsuit against artists Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen, ending a long-running legal dispute over their RR/BAYC NFT collection which used Bored Ape Yacht Club trademarks. The settlement includes a permanent injunction prohibiting the defendants from using any BAYC-related branding across NFTs, digital platforms, or physical products. They must transfer all remaining RR/BAYC NFTs, domain names, and assets to Yuga Labs, and cease all minting, sales, and promotion of the collection. The agreement effectively shuts down the RR/BAYC project and reinforces the enforcement of intellectual property rights in the NFT space, even for collections presented as satire or critique.

Crypto Prediction Markets Face Existential Threat — 3 States Move To Shut Traders Out

The U.S. federal government, through the CFTC and DOJ, is suing Illinois, Arizona, and Connecticut to block their attempts to shut down crypto prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. The federal agencies argue they have exclusive jurisdiction to regulate these markets as derivatives, while the states classify them as illegal gambling. This legal clash represents a significant existential threat to the industry. A federal victory would centralize oversight under the CFTC, creating a single regulatory framework. If the states prevail, platforms would face a fragmented landscape of state gambling laws, potentially pushing markets offshore and increasing costs for traders.

Prediction Market Clash: CFTC Sues Three States To Claim Exclusive Control

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed lawsuits against Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, including Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, to assert exclusive federal authority over prediction markets. The CFTC argues that event contracts on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket fall under its jurisdiction under the Commodity Exchange Act, and that state-level regulations create a fragmented system that increases risks of fraud and market abuse. This legal action reflects growing tension between federal and state regulators. Meanwhile, Congress is considering legislation to ban prediction markets on sensitive topics like elections and wars, and the NFL has requested operators block certain sports-related event contracts. The CFTC has also initiated a rulemaking process to clarify and reinforce its regulatory role over these markets.

CFTC sues Illinois in case that could decide how prediction markets scale in the U.S.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has sued the State of Illinois, escalating a legal battle that could determine the regulatory future of prediction markets in the U.S. The lawsuit, filed on April 2, challenges Illinois' cease-and-desist orders against platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, which the state considers unlicensed sports betting. The CFTC argues these event contracts are swaps under federal jurisdiction, preempting state regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and the Supremacy Clause. This case tests whether prediction markets will develop as a unified financial system under federal oversight or face a fragmented, state-by-state regulatory landscape that could hinder their growth and nationwide access. The outcome may define if these platforms become core financial infrastructure or remain constrained like state-regulated gambling.

Did Coinbase Refuse To List XRP On Purpose? Ripple Exec’s Old Tweets Resurface

The XRP community has resurfaced old tweets from Ripple's CTO Emeritus David Schwartz, suggesting Coinbase may have deliberately refused to list XRP. In posts from May and June 2023, Schwartz described a "hypothetical" scenario where an exchange, believed to be Coinbase, refused to list XRP despite it being beneficial, instead asking Ripple for millions in payment. He noted that after an agreement, XRP's listing generated 20% of the exchange's revenue. Schwartz indicated that an adversary in litigation (likely the SEC) used this payment to imply Ripple was unfairly boosting XRP adoption. Coinbase initially listed XRP but delisted it in 2021 following the SEC's lawsuit alleging XRP was a security. It relisted the token in July 2023 after a court ruling declared XRP not a security. XRP price was negatively impacted during the lawsuit and is currently trading around $1.32, down over 2% in 24 hours.

Doom Looms For Gemini (GEMI): Expert Predicts Bankruptcy By End Of 2026

Gemini's stock (GEMI) has plummeted 90% from its September 2025 peak, sparking bankruptcy concerns. Market expert Dom Kwok warns the crypto firm could face insolvency by end-2026 due to multiple crises: mounting lawsuits alleging IPO misinformation, a mass exodus of C-suite executives, slowing revenue growth, and accelerating losses. The company is rapidly depleting its IPO cash reserves and may soon require highly dilutive financing, further eroding shareholder value. Operational issues like account freezes and poor customer service compound its troubles. With its stock trading near $4.59 and no recovery catalyst in sight, Gemini's future appears critically endangered.

NVIDIA Case Reopened: Accused of Concealing $1 Billion in 'Mining' Revenue, a Hidden Chapter in the AI Giant's History

Nvidia Faces Renewed Investor Lawsuit Over Alleged $1 Billion Undisclosed Crypto Mining Revenue A US judge has approved a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang. Investors allege that between 2017 and 2018, Nvidia concealed the extent to which its gaming graphics card revenue depended on cryptocurrency mining demand, misleading shareholders about associated risks. The suit claims over $1 billion in crypto-related revenue was largely reported under the "Gaming" segment, downplaying the business's exposure to volatile crypto market cycles. Following a corrective disclosure in November 2018, Nvidia’s stock fell approximately 28.5% over two days. Internal evidence, including an executive email, suggested that previous statements had positively influenced the company's stock price. This case revives a lawsuit initially filed in 2018, which had previously been dismissed. During the 2017 crypto boom and the 2020 bull market, Nvidia’s GPUs were in high demand from miners, causing shortages for gamers. The company later launched dedicated CMP mining cards. In 2022, the SEC charged Nvidia with insufficient disclosure of mining’s impact on gaming revenue, resulting in a $5.5 million settlement. The class action covers investors who bought Nvidia stock between August 2017 and November 2018. A case management conference is scheduled for April 21.

Nvidia Lands In Court Over Crypto Secret — Here Is What Investors Missed

Nvidia faces a certified class action lawsuit over allegations it under-disclosed crypto mining revenue linked to its gaming GPU sales during the 2017–2018 period. Investors claim the company misled them by attributing significant revenue growth to gaming rather than cryptocurrency mining, creating a "revenue gap" between internal knowledge and public statements. After Nvidia’s CFO later acknowledged a revenue shortfall due to crypto-related inventory issues, the stock fell nearly 30%. The lawsuit, now moving forward, cites internal emails suggesting management was aware the stock price was artificially sustained by misleading disclosures. The case introduces legal and financial risks for Nvidia amid its current prominence in AI.
