Sanctioned Russian Crypto Exchange Is Inspiring Copycats

Sanctioned Russian Crypto Exchange Is Inspiring Copycats

The post Sanctioned Russian Crypto Exchange Is Inspiring Copycats appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Garantex, a sanctioned Russian crypto exchange, may inspire other businesses to emulate its methods. A new report details a connection between ABCex and AEXbit, which may be a rebrand to evade legal consequences. TRM Labs shared this report with BeInCrypto alongside some exclusive commentary from Ari Redbord, its Global Head of Policy and Government Affairs. The firm suspects that AEXbit and Garantex are directly linked, but there is no firm proof. Sponsored Sponsored Is Garantex Inspiring Exchanges? TRM Labs has been hard at work analyzing crime trends in 2025’s crypto scam supercycle, and its newest report is highly concerning. Specifically, it alleges that Garantex, a high-risk crypto exchange, has taught some valuable lessons in sanctions evasion to other illicit crypto platforms: “Garantex’s takedown was a landmark enforcement action, but it also shows us something important — illicit actors don’t just disappear, they adapt. What we’re seeing now is the playbook being reused: rebrands, cloned interfaces, and jurisdictional arbitrage,” Redbord told BeInCrypto. What does this mean, exactly? Although Garantex largely went underground after US sanctions and a few arrests, the exchange restarted under a fresh name. Grinex, the new firm, shared many on-chain transactions, code, and other assets with Garantex. Sponsored Sponsored This led experts to believe this company was a new money laundering front. Transactions in A7A5, a ruble-backed stablecoin from Kyrgyzstan, helped cement these connections. TRM Labs isn’t confident that new criminal exchanges are directly involved with Garantex, but they’re using similar methods. Tactics Spread Between Illicit Actors Specifically, the firm tracked ABCex, a shuttered exchange, and AEXbit, a potential rebrand, which closely resembled connections between Garantex and Grinex. Shortly after ABCex briefly shuttered during a DDoS attack, this replacement service opened with an identical user interface. TRM Labs suspects AEXbit relaunched to evade legal consequences, just like Garantex…

Polymarket Enters US, And It Could Supercharge Circle’s USDC

Polymarket Enters US, And It Could Supercharge Circle’s USDC

The post Polymarket Enters US, And It Could Supercharge Circle’s USDC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The CFTC gave Polymarket a green light to trade in the US by issuing a no-action letter regarding its American subsidiary. The Commission doesn’t plan to enforce potential reporting violations committed by QCX. This turnaround is very impressive; the CFTC was scrutinizing the platform one year ago. CFTC resignations can allow bold new pro-crypto regulatory action, but might also undermine trust in the long run. Sponsored Sponsored Polymarket’s Return to the US Although Polymarket is famously banned in the US, that might be changing soon. Earlier this July, the prediction market acquired QCEX, a CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange, as part of a way to reenter this substantial market. Today, Polymarket’s CEO confirmed that this plan is bearing fruit. Polymarket has been given the green light to go live in the USA by the @CFTC.

The Commission announced its new stance that it won’t initiate enforcement actions against the platform for failure to comply with several data reporting requirements. In other words, Polymarket’s path to US customers is wide open. Meanwhile, the platform’s entry in the US market could potentially drive trading volume for Circle’s stablecoin. Polymarket primarily accepts USDC deposits. A new wave of prediction market enthusiasts could likely drive USDC’s market cap towards $100 billion.

Polymarket CEO Announces CFTC ‘Green Light’ for US Operations Launch

Polymarket CEO Announces CFTC ‘Green Light’ for US Operations Launch

Polymarket has received CFTC clearance to operate in the United States through a no-action letter covering event contracts. The regulatory relief caps a remarkable year of strategic moves that positioned the $2.6 billion platform for rapid U.S. expansion, including a $112 million acquisition, high-profile board appointments, and massive institutional backing. “Polymarket has been given the green light to go live in the USA by the @CFTC,” CEO Shayne Coplan wrote on X, crediting the Commission for “impressive work” completed in “record timing.” The breakthrough allows the prediction market platform to offer compliant contracts to U.S. users for the first time since 2022, when it was forced to block American access following regulatory enforcement. CFTC Provides Narrow but Key Relief The CFTC’s Division of Market Oversight and Division of Clearing and Risk issued the no-action position specifically for QCX LLC, a designated contract market, and QC Clearing LLC, a derivatives clearing organization that Polymarket acquired earlier this year. Under the relief, neither entity nor its participants will face enforcement action for failing to comply with certain swap-related recordkeeping requirements or for not reporting binary options and variable-payout contract transactions to swap data repositories. While the no-action letter applies only in narrow circumstances and mirrors similar relief granted to other designated contract markets, it provides Polymarket with the regulatory framework needed to offer compliant prediction contracts to U.S. users. The breakthrough shields participants from enforcement related to reporting and recordkeeping requirements specifically tied to event contracts and binary options, giving Polymarket the regulatory cover needed to scale in the U.S. market. Strategic Year of Positioning Pays Off The regulatory clearance caps a considerable series of strategic moves that positioned Polymarket to capitalize quickly once regulators indicated an opening. In July, Polymarket’s strategic $112 million acquisition of Florida-based derivatives exchange QCEX secured the regulated infrastructure necessary for U.S. operations. That same month, the Department of Justice and CFTC closed their investigations into Polymarket without pursuing further action, clearing the platform’s earlier compliance case and paving the way for a relaunch. Earlier in June, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led a $200 million funding round that valued the company at $1 billion, confirming institutional confidence in the platform’s prospects. Most recently, Donald Trump Jr. joined Polymarket’s advisory board in August, as his venture capital firm, 1789 Capital, invested tens of millions of dollars, further expanding the platform’s U.S. political reach. The platform has maintained explosive growth despite being officially closed to U.S. users since a 2022 CFTC settlement, processing over $6 billion in bets during the first half of 2025 alone. Beyond the U.S. market, Polymarket has secured high-profile partnerships, including a collaboration with Elon Musk’s X platform to integrate prediction markets with AI-powered analysis from the xAI chatbot Grok. Rival platform Kalshi recently won a court victory against the CFTC over political betting contracts. This win suggests that regulatory appetite for prediction markets is improving. However, the no-action letter represents case-by-case relief rather than blanket approval for prediction market operations. There are still some questions about the durability of this regulatory opening. Polymarket still faces restrictions in several international markets, including France, Belgium, Thailand, and Singapore, where authorities have cited gambling law violations. The platform has also confronted allegations of market manipulation, though none have resulted in formal charges, and continues to operate under scrutiny from multiple regulatory bodies worldwide. For now, the CFTC’s decision provides Polymarket with a key foothold in the world’s largest financial market, which could potentially influence other countries’ decisions on crypto-based prediction platforms

DOGE to Rally to $1.20, But the Best Meme Coin to Buy in 2025 Might Be this ETH Token

DOGE to Rally to $1.20, But the Best Meme Coin to Buy in 2025 Might Be this ETH Token

The post DOGE to Rally to $1.20, But the Best Meme Coin to Buy in 2025 Might Be this ETH Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin (DOGE) remains one of the most recognizable names in crypto. As the 2025 bull market intensifies, analysts believe DOGE could be gearing up for a serious rally, with price projections as high as $1.20. But while DOGE may finally deliver fresh gains for its community, new investors looking for massive multiples are already turning their attention to a much smaller, Ethereum based project, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), that may be the true meme coin star of this cycle. Dogecoin price prediction: A climb to $1.20 is on the horizon Through several market cycles, Dogecoin (DOGE) has demonstrated its ability to remain relevant. Though its branding is whimsical, DOGE has considerable liquidity, a market capitalization in the tens of billions, and support from Elon Musk, who often refers to it as the “people’s crypto.” Currently, DOGE trades around $0.2; a rally to $1.20 would represent a 6x move from these levels. With its long history of defying expectations and cultural resonance, many investors see this target as achievable and realistic within the 2025 bull market. Yet while a move to $1.20 would be monumental for a coin of Dogecoin’s size, the percentage gains are limited compared to the potential of smaller projects. This is where Little Pepe (LILPEPE) enters the picture. Little Pepe is building on Ethereum with a unique meme-focused Layer 2 Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is not just another meme coin; it is attempting to build an entire ecosystem. The project is creating a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum dedicated to meme tokens. It offers fast, cheap transactions, sniper bot protections, and a Meme Launchpad, enabling new projects to grow safely within its environment. This gives LILPEPE a fundamental distinction: while DOGE and SHIB are cultural tokens with little infrastructure behind them, LILPEPE merges meme energy with technical innovation. This…

Polymarket CEO confirms readiness to launch in US after CFTC event contract ruling

The post Polymarket CEO confirms readiness to launch in US after CFTC event contract ruling appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Polymarket is set to launch US operations after the CFTC issued a no-action letter regarding event contracts. The company’s $112 million acquisition of QCEX’s holding company establishes Polymarket US and Polymarket Clearing for regulated prediction contract trading. Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan said the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) recent no-action letter on event contracts provides the regulatory clarity needed for the platform to go live in the US. In a statement praising the regulator, he described the process as completed in record time and called it a breakthrough in bringing Polymarket’s markets to American users. Polymarket has been given the green light to go live in the USA by the @CFTC. Credit to the Commission and Staff for their impressive work. This process has been accomplished in record timing. Stay tuned https://t.co/NVziTixpqO — Shayne Coplan 🦅 (@shayne_coplan) September 3, 2025 On Wednesday, the CFTC’s Division of Market Oversight and Division of Clearing and Risk said they would not recommend enforcement action against QCX LLC, a designated contract market, and QC Clearing LLC, a derivatives clearing organization, over certain swap-related compliance issues. The federal commodity regulator noted that the relief is conditional and limited in scope, applies only in specified circumstances, and is consistent with past CFTC no-action positions for other exchanges and clearinghouses. Polymarket acquired these two CFTC-licensed entities for $112 million in July. Now rebranded as Polymarket US and Polymarket Clearing, they provide the regulated exchange and clearing framework for Polymarket’s US platform. The acquisition followed the US Justice Department and Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s closure of their investigations into the company’s compliance issues. Coplan called the move a path “home,” allowing Americans to legally trade prediction contracts. Polymarket is backed by Donald Trump Jr., President Trump’s son. Trump Jr.’s venture capital fund 1789 Capital made an…

Grok’s Top 4 Picks for Massive Returns

Grok’s Top 4 Picks for Massive Returns

The post Grok’s Top 4 Picks for Massive Returns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sure, these tokens could deliver massive returns in the upcoming altcoin season but, as with any investment, the best strategy is diversification. In this quick, no-nonsense guide, we’ll point you toward the best crypto presales to buy right now, helping you craft a well-rounded portfolio for the upcoming run. So what’s so special about presales? They’re low-cap, under-the-radar, and cheap tokens that may carry more spice than your usual Bitcoin or Ethereum. Yet they also offer far higher upside than most mainstream cryptos combined. Even better, given the current consolidation phase, presales make a lot of sense because they’re not yet listed, meaning they’re shielded from volatility. And by the time they launch in the next few months, the market could be alive and kicking, giving you the chance to ride the wave with minimal stress. The best part? We sought Grok’s expertise for this guide. One of the most powerful AI tools around, Grok – thanks to its direct integration with X – has access to real-time crypto updates, from big whale buys and policy announcements to price movements and analyst predictions. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Layer-2 Bitcoin Solution Offering Scalability and Web3 Compatibility Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is an innovative Layer-2 (L2) solution for Bitcoin, solving the blockchain’s long-standing issues of scalability and speed. Although Bitcoin is rightly called digital gold, it offers little utility beyond being a store of value, which is why networks like Ethereum and Solana dominate DeFi and Web3. $HYPER aims to change that through a decentralized, non-custodial canonical bridge. Simply put, this bridge locks your Layer-1 $BTC and mints an equivalent amount of Layer-2 Bitcoin, called wrapped $BTC. These L2-compatible tokens can then be used to engage with Hyper’s Web3 ecosystem, including DeFi trading, staking, lending, NFT marketplaces, gaming dApps, and more. Once…
