SEC flags Bitcoin miner hosting services as subject to securities laws

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Bitcoin mining firm VBit and its founder, Danh Vo, alleging fraud and misappropriation of approximately $48 million in investor funds. The SEC claims that VBit’s third-party mining agreements qualify as securities under the Howey test, arguing that purchasers expected passive income and relied entirely on VBit’s efforts for profits. The agency also accused VBit of operating outside industry standards by pooling hashrate under its control and failing to provide transparency to investors. However, industry experts, such as Blockware Intelligence’s Mitchell Askew, argue that legitimate hosted mining services—where clients buy hardware and electricity without profit-sharing or pooled capital—do not constitute securities. The case reflects lingering enforcement approaches from the Biden administration, though the SEC under Trump has been perceived as more industry-friendly. The outcome may not broadly impact the hosted mining sector, as legitimate operations are considered distinct from investment contracts.

Bitwise files with SEC to offer spot SUI ETF

Bitwise has filed with the SEC to launch a spot SUI ETF, tracking the native token of the Sui Network. The firm submitted a Form S-1 registration, though a ticker symbol has not yet been announced. Coinbase Custody will serve as the custodian. This would be the first spot SUI ETF in the U.S., following earlier filings from Canary Capital and 21Shares, the latter of which recently received approval for a leveraged SUI ETF. SUI, launched in 2023, is the 31st-largest cryptocurrency with a $4.98 billion market cap. Bitwise recently added SUI to its existing crypto index fund and has also launched spot Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP ETFs. The firm anticipates rapid growth in the crypto ETF market in 2026.

Crypto CLARITY Act set for Senate markup in January, says Sacks

The long-awaited Crypto CLARITY Act is set for a Senate markup in January, according to White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott and Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman confirmed the bipartisan bill will advance next month. The legislation aims to define crypto securities and commodities, clarify regulatory roles between the SEC and CFTC, and reduce uncertainty for crypto firms. Supporters say it will establish clearer compliance pathways, encourage innovation, and strengthen investor protections. Work on the bill continued during the recent government shutdown, with regulators meeting executives from major crypto companies and venture firms.

Coinbase appoints ex-UK finance minister George Osborne to chair advisory council

Coinbase, the largest US-based cryptocurrency exchange, has appointed former UK finance minister George Osborne as the chair of its advisory council. Osborne, who has been an advisor since 2024, views this as an opportunity to learn more about the blockchain revolution and its potential for broadening financial inclusion. His appointment is part of Coinbase's strategy to expand its global influence with foreign governments. Osborne has previously criticized the UK for lagging in crypto regulation and stablecoin development, warning that the British pound risks irrelevance against dominant US dollar-backed stablecoins. This move coincides with Coinbase's broader expansion, including recent acquisitions and new product offerings like tokenized stock trading, prediction markets, and planned perpetual futures contracts, as it aims to become a comprehensive financial services "everything app."

What Forward’s tokenized FWDI shares mean for Solana, DeFi, and Real-World Assets

Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FWDI) has become the first public company to place SEC-registered equity directly on a blockchain—Solana—enabling its tokenized shares to be used as collateral in DeFi. Through Superstate’s infrastructure, ex-US shareholders can deposit FWDI tokens on Kamino, Solana’s lending protocol, and borrow stablecoins while maintaining equity exposure. Unlike synthetic or offshore tokenized products, this represents real common stock, recorded in real-time by an SEC-registered transfer agent. The move highlights Solana’s growing role in regulated financial integrations, especially given FWDI’s significant SOL holdings. It sets a precedent for compliant onchain equity, opening doors for public companies to access programmable finance, new collateral types, and real-time settlement—bridging traditional markets with DeFi.

Has the Era of Easy Money for Crypto VCs Come to an End?

The era of easy profits for crypto VCs appears to be over, marked by a necessary market correction and a shift toward more sustainable investment practices. The recent collapse of Shima Capital, following SEC charges against its founder for fraudulent fundraising and mismanagement, symbolizes a broader industry-wide reckoning. Once-revered VCs are now facing scrutiny as inflated valuations, poor returns, and failed exit strategies expose systemic flaws. Market dynamics have shifted significantly: liquidity has dried up,散户 investors have retreated, and many VC portfolios are underwater. Data shows only 2% of altcoins are currently profitable, underscoring the severity of the downturn. VCs are adapting by focusing on later-stage investments, prioritizing projects with real traction and data over speculative narratives. Funding is increasingly concentrated in infrastructure—such as payment rails and privacy tools—rather than premature application-layer projects like NFTs or metaverse platforms. This period of "creative destruction" is pushing the industry toward maturity. VCs are becoming more disciplined, seeking genuine value and long-term viability rather than quick returns. While the transition is painful, it may ultimately lead to a healthier, more transparent, and more resilient crypto ecosystem.

Power × Crypto × Leverage: When the 'Trump Trade' Pushes the Crypto Market Toward Systemic Risk

"The 'Trump Trade' in cryptocurrency has catalyzed a surge of high-risk financial activity, pushing the crypto market toward systemic risk. Following regulatory easing and explicit support from former President Trump, over 250 public companies have adopted a 'crypto treasury' strategy, borrowing heavily to amass digital assets like Bitcoin. This leveraged speculation, coupled with new products like 10x leveraged futures on major exchanges, led to a massive flash crash in October, wiping out $19 billion in leveraged positions and causing widespread exchange outages. The article highlights the rise of 'Digital Asset Treasuries' (DATs)—often shell companies that pivot to hoarding crypto—which have announced plans to borrow over $20 billion. Many of these entities have ties to Trump’s family business, World Liberty Financial, blurring the lines between political influence and private profit. One DAT, ALT5 Sigma, saw an 85% stock plunge after a executive was convicted of money laundering. Simultaneously, firms like Plume and Kraken are advancing 'tokenization'—creating crypto tokens tied to real-world assets like stocks—raising concerns at the Federal Reserve about contagion risk to the traditional financial system. While crypto advocates frame this as innovation, former regulators warn that the blurring of speculation and investment, amplified by extreme leverage, echoes pre-crisis financial patterns. The SEC has expressed concern but, under Trump-appointed leadership, is also pursuing a supportive regulatory framework."

Trump's Crypto Craze: Who's Celebrating and Who's Paying the Price?

Former President Donald Trump's embrace of cryptocurrency has triggered a wave of speculative investments and regulatory shifts, creating both opportunities and significant risks. Dubbed the "Crypto Treasury Company Summer," this trend saw over 250 public companies, many with little experience, pivot to hoarding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and meme coins, often using heavy leverage. However, including firms linked to Trump’s associates and family—such as Anthony Scaramucci and Trump’s son Eric—suffered severe losses, with some stock prices plunging over 80% during a market crash in October. The crash exposed vulnerabilities: high leverage, volatile prices, and technical failures at major exchanges like Coinbase left investors stranded during a $19 billion liquidation event. Meanwhile, new products like tokenized stocks—promoted by startups like Plume and Kraken—aim to merge crypto with traditional finance but face regulatory uncertainty. Critics, including former Treasury officials, warn that the blurring of speculation and investment could threaten financial stability, while the SEC expresses concern but also openness to innovation under Trump’s pro-crypto policies.
