2022-10-12 20:00:09 ​​US Treasury’s OFAC and FinCEN announce $29M in enforcement actions again Bittrex.

Bittrex agreed to pay more than $29 million in a settlement with FinCEN, but the regulator said it will credit a $24-million payment “to settle its potential liability with OFAC.”

The United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network took enforcement actions against crypto exchange Bittrex for allegedly violating sanctions programs as well as reporting requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA.

In an Oct. 11 announcement, the U.S. Treasury said Bittrex had agreed to a more than $24-million settlement with OFAC for violations of “multiple sanctions programs” by failing to prevent individuals based in the Crimea region, Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria from conducting roughly $263 million in crypto transactions between 2014 and 2017. According to the Treasury Department, Bittrex did not screen users based on accessible location information in the sanctioned countries using internet protocol addresses.

“When virtual currency firms fail to implement effective sanctions compliance controls, including screening customers located in sanctioned jurisdictions, they can become a vehicle for illicit actors that threaten U.S national security,” said Andrea Gacki, director of OFAC. “Virtual currency exchanges operating worldwide should understand both who — and where — their customers are.”

In addition, FinCEN announced parallel enforcement actions in which Bittrex agreed to pay more than $29 million. However, the financial regulator said it will credit Bittrex’s $24-million payment “to settle its potential liability with OFAC.”

According to FinCEN, the crypto exchange “failed to maintain an effective AML program” from 2014 to 2018, “resulting in significant exposure to illicit finance” through privacy coins. The regulator further alleged that Bittrex failed to document many transactions in sanctioned jurisdictions from 2014 to 2017 through suspicious activity reports.

Acting Director of FinCEN Himamauli Das added:

“Virtual asset service providers are on notice that they must implement robust risk-based compliance programs and meet their BSA reporting requirements. FinCEN will not hesitate to act when it identifies willful violations of the BSA.” Open / Comment

2022-10-09 20:00:07 ​Cardano Price Prediction – Can ADA 10x By 2023?

Cardano appears set to make a bullish run in the coming months with several high-profile crypto commentators picking ADA as a coin to watch in recent days.

Founder Charles Hoskinson has also promised there is a huge appetite from institutional investors with the blockchain set to welcome hundreds of new projects to their ecosystem after the successful Vasil hard fork upgrade.

But can Cardano, long considered an undervalued crypto coin without ever truly breaking out, finally make huge returns on its great promise?

Two videos emerged this week from highly influential crypto analysts that both spoke at length about the strengths of Cardano and native token ADA.

Dan Gambardello, who goes by Crypto Capital Venture and has more than 325,000 YouTube subscribers, claimed in a video that ADA could reach a $500 billion market cap in the next bull run.

Gambardello's analysis is based not only on the success of the Vasil hard fork but two more crucial updates planned in the near future - Basho, and Voltaire.

It is not yet clear when the two updates will take place, but Basho promises to improve transaction speed and Voltaire to introduce voting for network participants.

The upgrade will allow Cardano to process millions of transactions every second - for context, Ethereum can manage 10,000 TPS after the Merge - while Voltaire will make Cardano self-sustainable.

CoinBureau host Guy, who has more than 2.1 million subscribers on YouTube, echoed Gambardello's bullish sentiment on ADA - although didn't go quite so far as to predict a price of $15. Open / Comment

2022-10-06 20:00:06 ​​European Parliament members vote in favor of crypto and blockchain tax policies.

The resolution recommended authorities in the parliament's 27 member states consider a “simplified tax treatment” for crypto users involved in occasional or small transactions.

Members of the Parliament of the European Union voted in favor of a non-binding resolution aimed at using blockchain to fight tax evasion and coordinate tax policy on cryptocurrencies.

In an Oct. 4 notice, the European Parliament said 566 out of 705 members voted in favor of the resolution originally drafted by member Lídia Pereira. According to the legislative body, the resolution recommended authorities in its 27 member states consider a “simplified tax treatment” for crypto users involved in occasional or small transactions and have national tax administrations use blockchain technology “to facilitate efficient tax collection.”

For cryptocurrencies, the resolution called on the European Commission to assess whether converting crypto to fiat would constitute a taxable event, depending on where the transaction occurred, saying it was a “more appropriate choice.” In addition, the policy would request an administrative amendment to better exchange information in regard to taxes on crypto.

The resolution added that the parliament’s member states could integrate blockchain solutions into tax programs:

“Blockchain’s unique features could offer a new way to automate tax collection, limit corruption and better identify ownership of tangible and intangible assets allowing for better taxing mobile taxpayers. Work must be undertaken to identify the best practices of using technology to improve the analytical capacity of tax administrations.”

Policymakers in the European Union have moved forward to regulate the crypto market through their Markets in Crypto-Assets, or MiCA, framework. The bill, first introduced to the European Commission in 2020 and adopted by the European Council in 2021, aims to create a consistent regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies among EU member states. Many expect the policies to go into effect in 2024. Open / Comment

2022-10-03 20:00:04 ​​US senator bill seeks to cushion crypto exchanges from SEC enforcement actions.

The Digital Trading Clarity Act of 2022 aims to provide regulatory clarity around classifying digital assets and related liabilities under existing securities laws.

United States Senator Bill Hagerty, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, introduced legislation seeking a safe harbor for cryptocurrency exchanges from “certain” Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement actions.

The Digital Trading Clarity Act of 2022, introduced by Sen. Hagerty, aims to provide regulatory clarity around two primary concerns plaguing crypto exchange establishments — (i) the classification of digital assets and (ii) related liabilities under existing securities laws.

Sen. Hagerty outlined an overview of the problems amid regulatory hurdles:

“The current lack of regulatory clarity for digital assets presents entrepreneurs and businesses with a choice: navigate the significant regulatory ambiguity in the U.S., or move overseas to markets with clear digital asset regulations.”

The aforementioned regulatory uncertainty, according to Sen. Hagerty, discourages investments in the crypto spaces and hampers job creation opportunities in the US. As a result, the blockade “jeopardizes the United States’ leadership in this transformational technology at such a crucial time.”

The senator believed that the legislation, when passed, would not only provide “much-needed certainty” to crypto businesses but also improve the growth and liquidity of U.S. cryptocurrency markets.

To establish the legislation as law, the bill needs approval from the Senate, the House and the President of the United States.

Running parallel to the regulatory reforms recommended by the US senators, the federal government amped up efforts to study the feasibility of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in the American market.

Under Biden’s directive, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) analyzed 18 CBDC design choices — outlining various pros and cons of each system:

“It is possible that the technology underpinning a permissionless approach will improve significantly over time, which might make it more suitable to be used in a CBDC system.” Open / Comment

2022-09-30 20:00:05 ​​CertiK says SMS is the 'most vulnerable' form of 2FA in use.

The level of security provided by SMS pales in comparison to authenticators or physical security keys, CertiK's Jesse Leclere says in an interview.

Using SMS as a form of two-factor authentication has always been popular among crypto enthusiasts. After all, many users are already trading their cryptos or managing social pages on their phones, so why not simply use SMS to verify when accessing sensitive financial content?

Unfortunately, con artists have lately caught on to exploiting the wealth buried under this layer of security via SIM-swapping, or the process of rerouting a person's SIM card to a phone that is in possession of a hacker. In many jurisdictions worldwide, telecom employees won't ask for government ID, facial identification, or social security numbers to handle a simple porting request.

Combined with a quick search for publicly available personal information (quite common for Web3 stakeholders) and easy-to-guess recovery questions, impersonators can quickly port an account's SMS 2FA to their phone and begin using it for nefarious means. Earlier this year, many crypto Youtubers fell victim to a SIM-swap attack where hackers posted scam videos on their channel with text directing viewers to send money to the hacker's wallet. In June, Solana nonfungible token (NFT) project Duppies had its official Twitter account breached via a SIM-Swap with hackers tweeting links to a fake stealth mint.

I regard to this matter, Cointelegraph spoke with CertiK's security expert Jesse Leclere. Known as a leader in the blockchain security space, CertiK has helped over 3,600 projects secure $360 billion worth of digital assets and detected over 66,000 vulnerabilities since 2018. Here's what Leclere had to say:

"SMS 2FA is better than nothing, but it is the most vulnerable form of 2FA currently in use. Its appeal comes from its ease of use: Most people are either on their phone or have it close at hand when they're logging in to online platforms. But its vulnerability to SIM card swaps cannot be underestimated."

Leclerc explained that dedicated authenticator apps, such as Google Authenticator, Authy or Duo, offer nearly all the convenience of SMS 2FA while removing the risk of SIM-swapping. Open / Comment
