In a 102-page brief submitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, his lawyers argue that he was not presumed innocent and that the jury only received partial information about FTX&#39;s financial status. They claim prosecutors created a false narrative of insolvency, asserting that FTX had sufficient assets to repay customers. The legal team seeks a new trial with a different judge.</p><h3 id="crypto-influences-voter-decisions-in-us-presidential-election">Crypto Influences Voter Decisions in US Presidential Election</h3><p>A<a href="https://www.gemini.com/blog/introducing-the-2024-global-state-of-crypto-report" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> recent survey by Gemini</a> reveals that 73% of US cryptocurrency owners will consider candidates&#39; positions on crypto regulation when voting in the upcoming presidential election. The report indicates that this marks the first time crypto has become a significant campaign issue in US history. Additionally, 37% of respondents believe a candidate&#39;s stance on crypto will significantly impact their vote. Despite rising regulatory concerns—cited by 38% of participants as a barrier to crypto investment—crypto ownership has slightly increased, reflecting a growing interest in the sector.</p><h3 id="sec-39-s-regulatory-overreach-costs-retail-investors-15-billion">SEC&#39;s Regulatory Overreach Costs Retail Investors $15 Billion</h3><p>Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton <a href="https://x.com/JohnEDeaton1/status/1834604752853713350" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">claims </a>the SEC&#39;s excessive intervention in the cryptocurrency sector has led to over $15 billion in losses for retail investors. Deaton, a Republican Senate candidate, criticized the SEC&#39;s &#34;gross overreach&#34; and expressed intentions to hold the agency accountable, especially since Senator Elizabeth Warren has not. This statement follows a significant shift in the SEC&#39;s stance, as it now acknowledges that cryptocurrencies are not securities. The SEC has also ramped up enforcement, imposing nearly $4.7 billion in actions against crypto firms in 2024, a 3,000% increase from the previous year.</p><h3 id="trump-to-launch-world-liberty-financial-crypto-platform-on-sept-16">Trump to Launch World Liberty Financial Crypto Platform on Sept. 16</h3><p>Donald Trump <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1834311432982135015" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced </a>the launch of his crypto project, World Liberty Financial, set for September 16. In a video on X, he emphasized the platform&#39;s aim to modernize finance, positioning it as a decentralized finance (DeFi) service for borrowing and lending. His sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, will manage the project and aim to utilize US dollar-pegged stablecoins. However, sentiment is mixed, with some critics questioning the timing amid Trump&#39;s presidential campaign and concerns over scams targeting the venture.</p><h3 id="north-korean-hackers-target-bitcoin-etfs-amid-security-concerns">North Korean Hackers Target Bitcoin ETFs Amid Security Concerns</h3><p>North Korean hackers, particularly the notorious Lazarus Group, are <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etfs-major-target-north-korean-hackers-cyvers" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reportedly </a>shifting their focus to U.S.-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which hold a staggering $52 billion in assets. Michael Pearl from Cyvers warns that these funds could be vulnerable to infiltration, with potential risks extending to related companies. The FBI has recently issued warnings about impending attacks. The threat of a significant hack could prompt stricter regulatory measures in the U.S. and beyond, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity in the crypto industry.</p><h3 id="uk-government-proposes-legislation-to-define-crypto-as-property">UK Government Proposes Legislation to Define Crypto as Property</h3><p>The UK government has <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-bill-introduced-in-parliament-to-clarify-cryptos-legal-status" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">introduced </a>a Property Bill to clarify the legal status of cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and carbon credits, potentially classifying them as &#34;personal property.&#34; Announced on September 11, the legislation aims to protect owners from fraud and assist judges in complex cases involving digital assets.
