Arizona Files Criminal Charges Against Kalshi Over Illegal Gambling Allegations

Arizona has filed a twenty-count case against prediction market platform Kalshi, alleging it operates an illegal gambling business by accepting bets on elections, sports, and individual performance—activities prohibited under state law. Attorney General Kris Mayes emphasized that no company is above state law. Kalshi denies the allegations, claiming it is a federally regulated financial exchange under the CFTC, not a gambling service. The case highlights tensions between state and federal regulatory authority, as a federal judge’s dismissal of Kalshi’s plea allowed state criminal proceedings to advance. This action is part of a broader state-level crackdown on prediction markets, raising debates over whether they should be regulated as gambling or financial markets.

Bitcoin Heist At Home: Wife Uses CCTV To Pocket $176 Million

A domestic dispute in the UK High Court involves a man, Ping Fai Yuen, accusing his estranged wife, Fun Yung Li, of stealing Bitcoin worth approximately $176 million. He claims she secretly recorded the 24-word recovery phrase to his hardware wallet and transferred the funds into 71 separate wallets to complicate tracing. CCTV and audio devices allegedly captured discussions about moving the money discreetly. Li was arrested and released on bail, but police have taken no further action without new evidence. The court sees a strong case and has moved to freeze related assets, noting the risk of cross-jurisdictional transfers. The case may set a legal precedent for applying traditional property laws to cryptocurrency theft.

‘Disappointing’: U.S. DoJ seeks retrial of Tornado Cash founder

The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking a retrial of Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm on charges of money laundering and sanctions violations, a move that has drawn strong criticism from the crypto community. Storm was previously found guilty only of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The DeFi community, including the DeFi Education Fund and Solana Policy Institute, expressed disappointment, arguing the case threatens legal protections for software developers. They point to a recent court ruling that exempted developers from liability on non-custodial platforms. Critics also accuse the DoJ of contradicting the U.S. Treasury's stance and undermining crypto innovation. Despite the negative news, Tornado Cash’s native token TORN saw a 4% price increase.

Curve Finance Accuses PancakeSwap of Copying StableSwap Code

Curve Finance has publicly accused PancakeSwap of copying its proprietary StableSwap code without permission, calling it a license breach and warning of legal and technical risks. The accusation, made on March 6 via X, came in response to PancakeSwap’s March 2 announcement of launching StableSwap on its Infinity platform. Curve urged PancakeSwap to seek proper licensing and collaboration to avoid legal issues and ensure user safety. In response, PancakeSwap acknowledged the dispute and entered private talks. Curve later softened its tone, suggesting a potential “build together” partnership. The outcome may set a precedent for intellectual property in open-source DeFi, with users concerned about network security implications.

Vancouver Mayor’s Bitcoin Reserve Dream Hits Legal Wall

Vancouver city staff have recommended that Mayor Ken Sim's Bitcoin motion be dropped, citing that Bitcoin is not an allowable investment asset under the Vancouver Charter. The motion, passed in December 2024, aimed to explore accepting BTC payments and creating a Bitcoin reserve for city funds. However, provincial legislation does not recognize cryptocurrency as a valid payment method or permitted reserve asset. Staff have advised concluding the initiative to align with legal and financial priorities. The council will review the recommendation on March 10, forcing Mayor Sim to decide whether to defend or abandon his proposal.

Crypto Exchange Uniswap Prevails In High-Profile Rug Pull Lawsuit

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Uniswap, ruling that the decentralized exchange cannot be held liable for fraudulent tokens traded on its platform. The case, initially filed in 2022 by a group of investors, alleged that Uniswap enabled rug pulls and pump-and-dump schemes. The judge determined that providing a platform where fraud may occur is not equivalent to actively participating in the fraud. She compared it to a bank processing transactions for a money launderer without knowledge of the crime. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams welcomed the decision, stating that developers of open-source smart contract code should not be held responsible if scammers misuse it. The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.

Uniswap Wins Legal Battle as U.S. Federal Judge Dismisses Crypto Rug-Pull Lawsuit

A U.S. federal judge dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Uniswap Labs and its founder, Hayden Adams, which sought to hold the decentralized exchange accountable for alleged rug pulls and pump-and-dump schemes on its platform. Judge Katherine Polk Failla ruled that Uniswap cannot be held responsible for the fraudulent actions of anonymous token issuers, emphasizing that operating a decentralized, open-source trading platform does not constitute assisting fraud. The plaintiffs had refiled the case with state-level consumer protection claims after an earlier dismissal, but the court reaffirmed legal protections for DeFi infrastructure. Following the decision, Uniswap's native token UNI saw a price increase and higher trading volume. The ruling is seen as a significant legal victory for the DeFi sector.

Former SEC Chair Made Shocking Revelation to Ripple’s CEO During White House Meet

Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler privately apologized to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse during a White House meeting on digital asset policy in late 2024, admitting he was wrong about XRP and praising Ripple’s work. This marked a significant shift after a four-year legal battle where the SEC sued Ripple for an unregistered securities offering involving XRP. Although the case created regulatory uncertainty and led to exchange delistings, Ripple secured a partial victory in 2023 when a judge ruled XRP was not a security on public markets. Gensler, who resigned in early 2025, had been a controversial figure in crypto for his aggressive enforcement approach. His apology validates Ripple’s stance and suggests a potential change in how Washington may engage with crypto.
