☆ Binance plans to swap 750 million of token pairs to ensure liquidity
  + stars: | 2023-06-12 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
June 12 (Reuters) - Binance said in a tweet on Monday it would swap 750 million tether-tron token pairs for tether-ether in an attempt to maintain the stablecoin's liquidity. The move comes amid renewed regulatory scrutiny at the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange and will help cushion some of the fallout from recent blows, including Binance being sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The swap, set to start after 12 p.m. UTC on Monday, will be held directly with the tether team, the tweet said. Tron is the ninth largest cryptocurrency with a $6.3 billion market value, while ether is the largest after bitcoin, with its $210 billion market capitalization. A month later the U.S. arm of Binance said it would remove digital asset token tron from its trading platform.

☆ SEC sues Tron founder Justin Sun, Lindsay Lohan, other celebrities over crypto sales
  + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Chris Prentice Jonathan Stempel | Chris Prentice | Jonathan Stempel | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The SEC said Sun's activity generated tens of millions of dollars of illegal profit at other investors' expense. "This case demonstrates again the high risk investors face when crypto asset securities are offered and sold without proper disclosure," SEC Chair Gary Gensler said in a statement. Andrew Brettler, a lawyer for Lohan, said the actress did not know about the disclosure requirements until last March. The SEC has been ratcheting up efforts to crack down on the crypto industry, which Gensler has called a "Wild West" riddled with misconduct. It said Sun inflated apparent trading volume in TRX through extensive "wash trading," involving simultaneous or near-simultaneous purchases and sales with no real change in ownership.
