The CFTC alleges the crypto company operated an unregistered derivatives exchange in the US, and CZ and Samuel Lim, the former compliance officer, used a deceptive compliance program.</p><p>In their 49-page motion, Binance argues that the CFTC&#39;s charges go beyond its authority, targeting foreign entities and activities. They demand the court to drop counts 1 - 6 as &#34;impermissibly extraterritorial.&#34;</p><p>Moreover, they call for Count VII&#39;s dismissal, claiming the CFTC is testing a novel claim against an industry that didn&#39;t exist when the regulation was formed</p><h3 id="us-prosecutors-drop-campaign-finance-charge-against-sbf">US prosecutors drop campaign finance charge against SBF</h3><p>United States prosecutors have <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-27/bankman-fried-illegal-campaign-contribution-charge-dropped-by-us" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dropped</a> criminal campaign finance charges against Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), former CEO of defunct crypto exchange FTX. The decision was said to have been influenced by complexities arising from the US-Bahamas extradition treaty. Meanwhile, SBF argued his campaign contributions weren&#39;t part of the extradition document.</p><p>The Bahamian government clarified it won&#39;t extradite him on that charge, citing a violation of the treaty. However, other charges related to alleged fraud within FTX and associated ventures still stand.</p><h3 id="ftx-and-genesis-forge-a-path-to-settle-bankruptcy-case">FTX and Genesis forge a path to settle bankruptcy case</h3><p>Crypto exchange FTX and lender Genesis<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/07/28/ftx-and-genesis-reach-agreement-in-ongoing-bankruptcy-dispute/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> reach an in-principle agreement</a> to settle their bankruptcy case. The agreement aims to resolve claims made by both firms against each other, pending motions, and objections. Though specifics remain undisclosed, it&#39;s a significant step forward for the bankrupt entities.</p><p>FTX had initially claimed $4 billion owed by Genesis, later revising it to $2 billion. Genesis, filing for Chapter 11 protection after a crypto hedge fund collapse, is FTX&#39;s largest unsecured creditor with $226 million owed. However, the settlement will hopefully bring closure to the legal dispute and foster a more stable crypto industry future.</p><h3 id="us-house-committee-approves-digital-asset-regulations">US House Committee approves digital asset regulations</h3><p>The United States House Committee <a href="https://financialservices.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID&#61;408922" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has approved</a> clear regulations for digital assets, a significant step towards establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework in the country. Interestingly, crypto advocates celebrate the long-awaited regulatory progress and despite some Democratic differences, the bill advanced with bipartisan support.</p><p>However, <a href="https://mchenry.house.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Representative Patrick McHenry</a> advocates extending the CFTC&#39;s jurisdiction to address concerns over SEC overreach. The outcome of these regulatory processes carries global implications, fostering innovation, consumer protection, and investment opportunities in cryptocurrencies.</p><h3 id="worldcoin-39-s-wld-launch-creates-a-stir-in-the-global-community">Worldcoin&#39;s (WLD) launch creates a stir in the global community</h3><p>The debut of the blockchain-powered <a href="https://worldcoin.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">digital passport platform</a>, Worldcoin, has stirred heated debates in the cryptocurrency community. Launched with support from major exchanges like Binance, Worldcoin relies on iris scans through specialized Orb hardware for &#34;proof-of-personhood.&#34;</p><p>While some laud its potential for universal basic income distribution, critics, including Ethereum&#39;s Vitalik Buterin, express concerns about privacy, security, and centralization.</p><p>Twitter&#39;s Jack Dorsey finds the project&#39;s &#34;global scale alignment&#34; attempt amusing. Anita Posch warns of data management risks. As the community remains divided, Worldcoin faces challenges to prove its worth amidst skepticism and criticism.</p><h3 id="russia-approves-digital-ruble-bill-and-makes-usage-voluntary-for-citizens">Russia approves Digital Ruble Bill and makes usage voluntary for citizens</h3><p>Russia has signed the digital ruble bill into law, which will take effect on August 1, 2023. The digital ruble is designed to serve as a payment and money transfer method and will act as the third form of money alongside cash and non-cash rubles.</p><p>However, Russian citizens will not be forced to use the central bank&#39;s digital currency (CBDC), and the use of the digital ruble will be a voluntary choice left up to individuals to decide. The government doesn&#39;t expect mass adoption of the digital ruble in Russia before 2025 or even 2027.</p><h2 id="header-1">NEW LISTINGS ON MELEGASWAP</h2><p>Here are a few of our new cryptocurrency project listings on MelegaSwap!</p><h3 id="a-href-https-topmobster-net-rel-noopener-noreferrer-nofollow-mobster-mob-a"><a href="https://topmobster.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mobster (MOB)</a></h3><p>Mobster is the first meme coin of its kind!
