He announced an ambitious target: the legislation is anticipated to solidify into law within the first half of 2024. This proclamation comes as a response to the evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies within the country, indicating a strategic and deliberate move towards regulatory clarity and oversight in an otherwise burgeoning but uncertain sector.
Aksakov emphasized the necessity for regulations that address cryptocurrency mining and circulation, areas that have seen significant growth and engagement within Russia's considerable market. Notably, key stakeholders in the crypto sphere within the nation have expressed their openness and preparedness to abide by regulatory frameworks, including the willingness to comply with tax obligations. This marked willingness to operate within a regulated space signifies a shift in the industry's perception, with major players advocating for clarity and legitimacy in their operations.
The impending legislation is poised to fill a critical void, aiming to provide a structured framework governing the crypto realm in Russia. Its introduction signals the government's acknowledgement of the importance of these digital assets within the economic landscape and the need to establish clear guidelines for their legal operation. The move toward regulation reflects an earnest attempt to balance innovation and risk management, aiming to foster a healthy and sustainable ecosystem for cryptocurrencies within the country's financial sphere.

ššš #Rippleš° vs. #SEC Ends: Can Individuals Pursue a Class-Action #lawsuit ? John Deaton Calls It āChallengingā
Rippleās lengthy legal battle with the SEC has finally concluded, marking a significant win for the crypto industry. The case, which revolved around whether $XRP should be classified as a security, ended with Ripple agreeing to a reduced fine of $25 millionāfar lower than the original $2 billion. While Ripple can continue its global operations, it faces restrictions on selling XRP to U.S. institutions.
In a surprising turn, the SEC issued an apology for mischaracterizing XRP, sparking questions about the agencyās regulatory approach. Rippleās victory is viewed as a major positive for the crypto market, with growing optimism about XRPās future prospects.
On the Good Morning Crypto Show, attorney John Deaton, who represented over 75,000 XRP holders, was asked whether a class-action lawsuit could be filed against the SEC for allegedly bringing a false case against Ripple.
Can the SEC Be Held Accountable?
- Deaton explained that suing a government agency like the SEC is challenging. While lawsuits have been filed against the SEC before, they typically encounter significant obstacles. When the issue is negligence or poor regulation, itās generally hard to hold the agency legally responsible. The law doesnāt usually permit suing a regulatory body for simply failing to perform well.
The Role of the Inspector Generalās Investigation
- However, Deaton pointed out that an ongoing investigation by the Inspector General (IG) could change the situation. If the investigation uncovers gross misconduct, such as deliberate deception or abuse of discretion, it could open the door for legal action. For example, claims of regulatory captureāwhere a regulator acts in favor of certain companies at the expense of othersāmight be explored. Still, Deaton emphasized that the road to such a lawsuit is difficult and would depend heavily on the findings of the IG report.

šØ BINANCE WINS LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SECšØ
A U.S. federal court has ruled that cryptocurrencies, including Binanceās BNB token, are not securities. This ruling marks a significant victory for Binance and the broader crypto community, potentially influencing other ongoing legal battles in the sector.
āļø Court Ruling Highlights āļø
Judge's Decision: Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that cryptocurrencies and secondary sales of BNB do not constitute securities offerings. This decision dismissed several claims made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Howey Test: The court found that the SEC failed to demonstrate that purchasers in secondary market sales acquired BNB with an expectation of profits, which is crucial for passing the Howey test. This test, established by the Supreme Court, determines whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract.
Legal Precedent: The ruling emphasized that the SECās approach muddied the issues and ignored controlling Supreme Court precedent. The focus should be on whether the circumstances surrounding each transaction render it a securities transaction, not on the cryptocurrencies themselves.
š A Major Win for Binance and Crypto š
This ruling is a significant triumph for Binance.US and the broader crypto industry, which has faced increased scrutiny from the SEC. The regulatorās aggressive approach, especially after the collapse of FTX, aimed to prevent similar incidents but faced criticism for potentially stifling innovation.
Implications for Ripple: This decision could positively impact other legal battles, such as the ongoing SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit, by setting a precedent that cryptocurrencies themselves are not securities.
What do you think about this WIN?
I say : Congratulations āØš well deserved Binance.

SEC Crackdown Misses Yet Again: A Look at the Kraken Lawsuit.
In my Opinion, theĀ Kraken caseĀ puts a spotlight on bigger problems in how the U.S regulates cryptocurrencies.
In the ongoing showdown between theĀ United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)Ā and Kraken, a major cryptocurrency exchange, the regulatory body seems stuck in a familiar loop of challenges. As we dive into the legal drama, it becomes clear that this struggle isnāt just a replay of past failures but a sign of deeper issues within the regulatory world.
TheĀ lawsuit, filed in November, claims Kraken operated as an unregistered securities exchange, echoing the SECās past struggles in the crypto realm. This legal clash bears a resemblance to the SECās previous run-ins with Coinbase, showing a pattern of assertive regulation that misses the quirks of the cryptocurrency universe.
Both cases revolve around accusations of unregistered securities exchanges, highlighting a basic misunderstanding of how cryptocurrency exchanges work. Unlike traditional stock markets,Ā KrakenĀ and similar platforms deal with a mix of digital assets that donāt fit neatly into existing regulatory boxes.
This mislabeling reveals the SECās lack of understanding about cryptocurrencies, which operate as decentralized entities with features akin to utility or currency.
The SECās tough stance might push crypto businesses to friendlier shores, a phenomenon called regulatory arbitrage. This potential exodus poses a risk to the U.S.ās position as a tech innovation leader.
Beyond the legal battle, theĀ Kraken caseĀ puts a spotlight on bigger problems in how the U.S regulates cryptocurrencies. Experts urge the SEC to ditch old tactics and connect with the crypto industry in a smart and helpful way.
Regulation is vital, but it has to be sensible, well-informed, and crafted to boost innovation, not smother it. Now, itās up to the SEC to show it can keep up with the ever-changing world of cryptocurrencies.

ā”ļø Cristiano Ronaldo has been sued for promoting unregistered securities
Pro football star Cristiano Ronaldo has been addressed with a proposed class-action lawsuit.

Cristiano Ronaldo faces $1bn lawsuit over Binance ads.
Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a class action lawsuit in the US over his promotion of Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.
The plaintiffs claim his endorsement led them to make loss-making investments.
They are seeking damages of "a sum exceeding" $1bn (Ā£790m).
The BBC has contacted both Ronaldo's management company and Binance for comment.
In November 2022,Ā Binance announced its first "CR7" collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs)Ā in partnership with Ronaldo, which the footballer said would reward fans "for all the years of support".
NFTs are virtual assets that can be bought and sold, but which have no real-world form of their own - in other words they only exist digitally. Generally, they are used to mark ownership of something, such as a picture or video online.
"CR7" refers to Ronaldo's initials and shirt number, and is used as branding in a range of products, from footwear to fragrances, that have helped make him one of theĀ wealthiest athletes on earth.
In a social media video announcing the partnership, Ronaldo told would-be investors "we are going to change the NFT game and take football to the next level".
The cheapest NFT from the collection was priced at $77 when it went on sale in November 2022 - but one year later, it was priced at about $1.
The claimants allege that Ronaldo's promotion of Binance led to a "500% increase in searches" for the crypto exchange, which is registered in the Cayman Islands.
They also say it led people to use the firm to invest in what they call "unregistered securities" - such as Binance's BNB cryptocurrency.
According to the US Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC), these assets can be considered securities - and so celebrities endorsing them must follow US law.

#OpenSea users have filed a class-action lawsuit claiming that #NFTs purchased on the platform may qualify as unregistered securities.
The lawsuit argues that OpenSea facilitated the sale of NFTs without proper disclosures required by securities laws, potentially misleading buyers about the investment risks involved.
The legal dispute could have significant implications for the NFT market if the court rules that these digital assets are indeed securities, potentially subjecting NFT platforms to more stringent regulations.

RONALDO SUED FOR PARTNERSHIP WITH BINANCE
What absolute nonsense... do you agree?
Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit for his role in promoting Binance, a crypto exchange currently facing legal challenges.
The lawsuit, filed in a U.S. district court in Florida, accuses Ronaldo of helping in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in collaboration with Binance.
This follows a partnership formed in mid-2022, where Ronaldo promoted his nonfungible tokens (NFTs) through Binance, potentially leading users to invest in other offerings on the platform, such as Binanceās BNB and its crypto yield programs.
The complaint argues that Ronaldo's promotions significantly boosted Binance's popularity, citing a 500% increase in searches for Binance after his NFT sales.
The plaintiffs claim Ronaldo, who has vast investment experience and resources, should have been aware of the legal implications of promoting unregistered crypto securities.
They also allege that he failed to disclose payments received for these promotions, as required by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines.
The plaintiffs, Michael Sizemore, Mikey Vongdara, and Gordon Lewis, are seeking damages and coverage of legal fees.
In a related context, Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao are dealing with their legal issues, including a guilty plea and a $4.3 billion settlement with the U.S. government for various violations.
Zhao has resigned as CEO and faces potential prison time, while Binance is under compliance monitoring and additional legal scrutiny from the SEC.

KuCoin to Exit New York and Pay $22 Million in Settlement Deal: Report
KuCoin, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has settled with the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and will cease its services in New York.
The settlement involves a $22 million payment, including $5.3 million to New York State and $16.7 million in crypto refunds to about 180,000 New York investors.
NYAG Letitia James sued KuCoin in March 2023 for selling unregistered securities, including Ether (ETH), Terra (LUNA), and TerraUSD (UST).
The lawsuit claimed these tokens were securities and commodities sold without proper registration.
KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu announced the settlement and informed that affected users will be notified via email or SMS within 10 days. Lyu emphasized the priority of asset security during this process.
New York continues its strict oversight of the crypto industry. Besides KuCoin, other exchanges like CoinEx have also settled with the NYAG for illegal operations, with CoinEx paying nearly $2 million in refunds and penalties and ceasing its New York operations. Tether and Bitfinex previously reached a similar settlement.
Recently, the NYAG took action against Genesis, Gemini, and Digital Currency Group (DCG), alleging fraud of over $1 billion from more than 230,000 investors. These developments highlight New York's firm stance on cryptocurrency regulation and compliance.

Crypto Airdrops Are Not Securities, Lawsuit Against SEC Argues
Airdrops involve no investment of money and therefore canāt be securities transactions, asserts the DeFi Education Fund.
On Monday, the DeFi Education Fund (DEF) sued the SEC in a Texas federal court, claiming that Beba, a Texas-based apparel firm, did not break US securities laws by freely airdropping its BEBA crypto token to customers.
The lawsuit seeks a court order declaring Beba's airdrop legitimate, potentially shielding subsequent airdrops from SEC litigation.
Beba sues SEC pre-emptively:Ā A crypto apparel company sues the SEC to get clarity on their token before facing legal trouble.
Challenge to SEC authority:Ā Beba argues airdrops aren't securities and the SEC lacks clear crypto regulations (violating procedure).
Airdrops under fire:Ā Free token giveaways are popular but raise questions about SEC oversight. Legal experts see Beba's case as strong.
Crypto fights back:Ā This lawsuit joins another against the SEC, suggesting a more aggressive legal stance by the industry.
CONCLUSION:
The legal status of crypto airdrops as securities is currently unclear and being challenged in court.
This lawsuit argues airdrops are NOT securities:Ā The DeFi Education Fund claims airdrops, like Beba's token giveaway, don't involve investments and shouldn't be regulated by the SEC under current securities laws.
Legal experts see Beba's case as strong:Ā This suggests airdrops might have a good chance of being excluded from security regulations.
However, it's important to note:
The case is ongoing:Ā A court decision will ultimately determine the legal precedent for airdrops.
SEC may have broader authority:Ā The SEC argues they can regulate airdrops under existing securities laws depending on the circumstances.
Overall, the legal landscape surrounding crypto airdrops remains uncertain. This lawsuit could be a significant development, but a final resolution will likely take time.
