Und die, die solchen Venture Capitalists folgten.

=> jetzt ist man also in der Phase, wo die verbliebende Crypto-Industrie schon selber nach "regulatory frameworks" ruft

Regulation of Bitcoin: 2020
2020 almost certainly promises to be the year of bitcoin regulation – something that crypto enthusiasts are none too happy about.

Cryptocurrency exchange platform Crypto.com has halted the flow of two top Solana ecosystem stablecoins, as the implosion of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX empire continues to wreak havoc across the wider crypto ecosystem.

Citing “recent industry events” in an email to users Wednesday, Crypto.com said “effective immediately” the platform would be “suspending deposits and withdrawals of USDC and USDT on the Solana Blockchain in the Crypto.com App and Exchange.”

The email continued to say that stablecoin deposits in other ecosystems, including Ethereum and Cronos, would not be impacted.

Crypto exchange Binance says it will acquire rival FTX
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/crypto-exchange-binance-sa…
...
Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, has signed a letter of intent to acquire its rival FTX, Binance's co-founder and chief executive Changpeng Zhao tweeted Tuesday. FTX chief executive Sam Bankman-Fried tweeted that FTX had entered into a "strategic transaction" with Binance, pending due diligence.

"There is a significant liquidity crunch" at FTX, while Binance intends to help cover it, according to Zhao. The proposed acquisition happens after tension rose between the two exchanges, as Zhao tweeted Sunday that the exchange would start liquidating its remaining FTT tokens, the native token of FTX, held on its books.

Binance held about 23 million FTT tokens, worth over $500 million based on its current price, according to a Bloomberg article citing people familiar with the matter.

Crypto exchange Binance helped Iranian firms trade $8 billion despite sanctions
https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/exclusive-crypto-ex…
...

Almost all the funds, some $7.8 billion, flowed between Binance and Iran's largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, according to a review of data from leading U.S. blockchain researcher Chainalysis. Nobitex offers guidance on its website on how to skirt sanctions.

Three-quarters of the Iranian funds that passed through Binance were in a relatively low-profile cryptocurrency called Tron that gives users an option to conceal their identities. In a blog post last year, Nobitex encouraged clients to use Tron - a mid-tier token - to trade anonymously without "endangering assets due to sanctions."
...

The new findings come as the U.S. Justice Department is pursuing an investigation into possible violations of money-laundering rules by Binance, which dominates the $1 trillion crypto industry, with over 120 million users. The transactions put the company at risk of falling afoul of U.S. prohibitions on doing business with Iran, lawyers and trade-sanctions experts said.

Binance declines to give details of the location or the entity behind its Binance.com exchange.

Binance is the biggest market for trading Tron, according to industry data. Some other major exchanges, including U.S.-regulated Coinbase and Gemini, do not list the token.

Until recently, Tron has largely flown under the radar of cryptocurrency trackers. Market leader Chainalysis, used by U.S. government agencies, only began fully supporting the tracing of Tron this May, according to an email Chainalysis sent to a client.

The Tron dataset details over 1.15 million direct transfers between Binance and Nobitex since April 2020, when the first Tron flows were recorded. The data include wallet addresses and a unique identification number for each transaction.

Reuters obtained the Tron figures, along with further datasets covering the other crypto tokens, from three firms with access to Chainalysis' Reactor investigation software. Reuters cross-checked each company's figures. A fourth firm also confirmed some of the figures on direct transfers based on a separate dataset compiled using different software.
...

Iranians sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury for cyberattacks and ransomware activity have used Nobitex, a Chainalysis report in September said. Between 2015 and 2022, the digital wallets of sanctioned Iranians received over $230,000 in bitcoin ransomware funds, Chainalysis said, with most of the crypto sent to Nobitex.

The Treasury said the same month that the sanctioned Iranians were all affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a powerful faction that controls a business empire as well as elite armed and intelligence forces in Iran. Iranian authorities did not respond to a request for comment. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called U.S. sanctions "unilateral, illegal and cruel."
