Tether and Bitfinex have reached an $ 18.5 million deal with the New York (NY) Attorney General.

Bitfinex and Tether are banned from continuing illegal activities in New York.

The USDT continues to be monitored by regulators

The stablecoin Tether (USDT) and the exchange of crypto Bitfinex reached an agreement with the Attorney General of the State of New York.

The deal requires Tether and Bitfinex to cease all other business activity with New Yorkers, as well as to pay $ 18.5 million in penalties, in addition to requiring a number of steps to increase transparency, according to an announcement from the Attorney General’s Office (AGO).

“This resolution makes it clear that those who trade virtual currencies in New York State and think they can avoid our laws cannot, and will not,” said the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James.

Details of Tether’s Trial (USDT)

The deal comes after an OAG investigation revealed that Tether and iFinex, the operator of Bitfinex, had made false claims about Tether’s backing and the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars between the two companies. According to the BVG, on November 2, 2018, Tether transferred hundreds of millions of dollars from its bank accounts to those of Bitfinex.

Settlement resolves public disclosure allegations related to a loan Tether made to Bitfinex as the exchange struggled to access roughly $ 850 million in funds held by a payment processor in 2018, according to a Tether announcement. The loan was made to ensure continuity for Bitfinex customers, and has since been paid in full, including interest, Tether said.

Tether announced in a tweet:

“Under the settlement we do not admit any wrongdoing, the settlement amount we agreed to pay to the Attorney General’s office should be seen as a measure of our willingness to leave this issue behind and focus on our activities. ”

Growing problems

These are not the only issues that have been raised. Last year, the STABLE Law was introduced in the US Congress which, if enacted, could be devastating for Tether and stablecoins.

The law calls for banking licenses for issuers of stablecoins such as USDT . It offers additional requirements for Federal Reserve reporting, also offering issuance approval in addition to the permanent audit requirements and an insurance policy to cover assets.

Another proposal may require stablecoin issuers to store their reserves directly with the Federal Reserve. This puts them under the control of the central bank and severely limits their open use. Although not yet enacted, this law is representative of increasing regulatory pressure.

A Protego se junta a Anchorage como a primeira cadeia de empresas de ativos digitais a obter o licenciamento de um banco de confiança nacional.

O Gabinete do Controlador da Moeda concedeu a outra empresa de criptografia uma carta nacional

De acordo com um anúncio compartilhado com a Cointelegraph hoje, o custodiante institucional da criptografia Protego, com sede em Washington, é a segunda empresa de criptografia nativa a obter licença nacional do OCC.

A nova carta é condicional e o Protego é autorizado como um banco fiduciário nacional, em vez de um banco tradicional, o que significa que não fará depósitos. Curiosamente, a Protego é uma empresa relativamente nova e ainda está em processo de organização. Ele terá 18 meses para iniciar as operações antes que o atual afretamento expire.

O OCC é o escritório do Tesouro dos EUA responsável por regulamentar os bancos nacionais

No ano passado, ela trabalhou muito para integrar a criptografia a esse campo de ação, incluindo o fornecimento da primeira carta nacional desse tipo para Anchorage no mês passado.

Nem todos ficaram satisfeitos com o interesse do OCC em integrar empresas de criptografia. Um consórcio de reguladores bancários estaduais recentemente entrou com uma ação contra o OCC sobre o pedido da Figure para uma carta nacional, alegando que o OCC está esticando a definição de banco além do reconhecimento.

Bitcoin Secret: a new scam is roaming the web

Bitcoin Secret is billed as an automated cryptocurrency trading software.

„Bitcoin is making people rich and you can be the next millionaire“.

It is also explicitly pitched as a tool that could change the lives of those who register to use it.

Opening the Trustpilot tab of the service, advertised on the home page, immediately reveals something of a dubious nature.

The service has only 24 reviews, all of them positive, some of which have nothing to do with Bitcoin Secret and others like Bitcoin Bank that lie through their teeth, such as one that claims the service was promoted on „This Morning Show“.

Since it’s a hoax, that positive 4-star review is patently false, and many of the others are essentially identical (only the terms used change). There is even a review with only 3 stars which describes the service as ‚fabulous‘.

On the Bitcoin Secret website, the only information that could be independent and verifiable are the TrustPilot reviews, which are clearly bogus.

At this point it is already clear that this is not a legitimate service.

Another curious thing is what is written in small print in the disclaimer at the bottom:

„Bitcoin Secret does not operate as a financial services company and is only used as a marketing tool by third-party advertisers and brokers to receive more customers.“

What Bitcoin Secret is not

In other words, the website itself admits that it is not automated trading software, but just a way to get in touch with a broker. In other words, the Bitcoin Secret website itself points out at the bottom that what it says further up, in larger print, is false.

In fact, the footer also reads:

„When you sign up for Bitcoin Secret, you are automatically assigned a broker“.

So those who sign up for this service do not receive software for automated cryptocurrency trading, only contact with a broker who will presumably try to convince them to spend money.

It is no coincidence that there is no detail about how this automated cryptocurrency trading software works, so much so that the software itself probably does not even exist.

Furthermore, the list of supposedly last trades made with the software shown on the homepage is patently nonsense, as there is no way to verify its veracity.

In other words, the Bitcoin Secret website is full of lies, with the clear aim of deceiving users.

JPMorgan analysts present a long-term price target of $ 146,000 for Bitcoin.

This objective would be achieved through capital outflows from other asset classes, in particular gold.

JPMorgan has so far been extremely skeptical of Bitcoin

The Trust Project is an international consortium of news organizations based on transparency standards.

JPMorgan and its CEO Jamie Dimon have seemed skeptical of Bitcoin for years, but that hasn’t stopped the company from speculating on a bullish target.

With the increased institutional adoption of Bitcoin due to global economic and social factors, the leading cryptocurrency can no longer be ignored. Gold could continue to lose market share, according to JPMorgan analysts via Bloomberg :

Bitcoin could have the potential for substantial additional long-term gains as it competes with gold for investment streams, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

As investors begin to see Bitcoin as a better store of value, a better trading system, and better inflation hedge than gold , large-scale buying may continue.

Analysts believe Bitcoin still has serious upside potential:

A crowding out of gold as an ‚alternative‘ currency implies a big advantage for Bitcoin in the long run, […] a convergence of volatilities between Bitcoin and gold is unlikely to happen quickly and this is in our case. spirit of a multi-year process. This implies that the theoretical Bitcoin price target of $ 146,000 above should be viewed as a long-term target, and therefore an unsustainable price target for this year.

While analysts do not expect prices to rise quickly to nearly $ 150,000, they do believe that a gradual increase in cash outflows from gold and other assets will inevitably find its way to BTC.

A New York Times report reveals serious differences in pay for women and black workers. It’s the next faux pas that Coinbase steps into. This time, however, the scandal comes at a very inconvenient time, as the startup is in the middle of planning an IPO.

In a recently published articleThe New York Times reveals allegations by female and black employees complaining of unfair working conditions at Coinbase

Accordingly, women and people of color are paid less than their male, white colleagues. The basis of the report is provided by analyzes by the economist Alexandra Marr, who previously provided analyzes for court cases that dealt with wage distortions. Marr examined salary data from 448 employees in 2018. Nine employees who also appeared in the data validated them against their own numbers and from colleagues they knew.

The analysis at Bitcoin Storm found that women received an average of $ 13,000 (8 percent) less salary than their male counterparts in comparable jobs and positions. Sometimes there are discrepancies of up to 20 percent. The analysis made a rough distinction between “manager”, “engineer” and “non-engineer”. The occupational groups were compared with one another in different hierarchy levels (level 1 to level 6). The department examined at Coinbase had to have at least three female employees. The biggest difference was with the level 1 managers, where female employees had to be content with 20 percent less salary. The level 1 non-engineers had the second largest deviation with 18 percent. Third place went to the Level 3 managers. Male employees there received a little over 200,000 US dollars annually, while female colleagues received an annual salary of almost 170,000 US dollars. An inequality of 16 percent.

There was a slight overpayment for female employees in two of the fourteen jobs at Coinbase. Female Level 1 engineers earned around 7 percent more than their male colleagues. There was also a two percent female overpayment at the level 6 manager level.

Black employees paid less – allegations of systematic racism

According to the article, dark-skinned employees are also affected by the unequal wage distribution. 16 black permanent employees appeared in the analyzed salary data. They got $ 11,500 less. That is 7 percent less than all other employees got. Anonymous reports by black employees also accuse the San Francisco tech startup of systematic racism.

Like the New York Timesreported that a manager made assumptions about a black employee in front of other colleagues as to whether he was dealing with drugs or carrying a weapon. Another dark-skinned employee describes a scene from a job interview in which the manager openly told him that he thought black employees were less capable. And yet another employee reported condescending treatment of her manager towards her and her black colleagues. So they were passed over in favor of white, less experienced employees even in the case of promotions.

In a statement, LJ Brock, Coinbase’s chief people officer, said the company began conducting a comprehensive review of compensation across the company in late 2018.

Bitcoin: Tymczasowa korekta czy brak ATH w tym roku? Cotygodniowa aktualizacja rynku kryptograficznego

Bitcoin ma sposób na zaskoczenie ludzi. This week was no exception. A few days ago, almost everyone believed that the cryptocurrency is inevitably headed to a The News Spy new all-time high. A jak mogliby tego nie zrobić? BTC notowała kilkaset dolarów poniżej rekordu z 2017 roku. Niestety, sprawy przybrały najgorszy obrót.

Wczorajszy dzień był niewątpliwie złym dniem dla Bitcoin’a, ponieważ w ciągu niecałych 24 godzin pogrążył się w sumie w okolicach 3.000 dolarów. Z rekordowej sumy około 19 500 $ do 16 200 $ niedźwiedzie szturchały i pokazywały swoje twarze. Cały rynek stracił około 80 miliardów dolarów swojej kapitalizacji, ponieważ altcoins rzeczywiście miał najgorsze.

Podczas nurkowania na rynku, dominacja Bitcoinów rzeczywiście wzrosła, pokazując, że nie tylko altcoiny nie utrzymały się na powierzchni, ale spadły mocniej niż BTC. Od tego czasu nastąpiło nieznaczne ożywienie i w momencie pisania tego tekstu, podstawowa kryptokur waluta obracana jest na poziomie około 17.000 dolarów.

Wydaje się, że posunięcie to było napędzane przez wiadomość, że amerykańskie organy regulacyjne mogą wymagać weryfikacji tożsamości od dostawców portfeli kryptograficznych. Prezes Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, skomentował tę sprawę, wyrażając swoje obawy, że jeśli nowe zasady zostaną wdrożone, będą raczej szkodliwe dla użytkowników i branży w ogóle.

W tym samym czasie, popularna kryptocurrency exchange OKEx otworzyła wypłatę środków po raz pierwszy od czasu zamknięcia giełdy około miesiąc temu, co mogło skłonić użytkowników do wypłacenia zysków, na których siedzą. W rzeczywistości, CryptoPotato poinformowało, że około 500 milionów dolarów zostało wycofanych z giełdy w momencie, gdy doszło do krachu.

W każdym razie, wyniki są tutaj, a szczególnie interesującym pozostaje zobaczyć, gdzie Bitcoin pójdzie stąd.
