Elon Musk drops another truth bomb ๐Ÿšจ

Another day, another truth bomb from Elon Musk...๐Ÿ’ฃ After reaffirming AI's potential to destroy civilization, Elon Musk exposed the US government's ability to access almost everything on the website, including any Twitter user's private DMs! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Turns out, multiple government agencies had full access to everything on the social media platform. ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ”

Bhutanโ€™s sovereign wealth fund secretly held millions of dollars in cryptocurrency ๐Ÿ”

Bhutan's got some crypto skeletons in its closet โ— Recent documents revealed that the countryโ€™s $2.9 billion sovereign investment arm (Druk Holding & Investments) was a customer of infamous crypto lenders BlockFi and Celsius, which it never publicly disclosed. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ The wealth fund operates more like a state-owned enterprise and oversees 21 domestic companies.

In a series of revelations, BlockFi accused the fund of defaulting on its repayment of a $30 million USDC loan borrowed in February 2022. The lender alleged that Druk failed and refused to repay the loan in full, even after a liquidation of 1,888 BTC (worth $76.5 million at the time of the loan), leaving an unpaid balance of $820,000 ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Months earlier, the wealth fund was also outed as an institutional customer of Celsius. Records showed that Druk Holding & Investments withdrew more than $65 million and deposited nearly $18 million in digital assets in a span of 3 months between April & June 2022, just before Celsius petitioned for bankruptcy in July ๐Ÿ˜…

Wealth managers have speculated for several years that government-backed funds are beginning to buy up the cryptocurrency, and if the investment arm is indeed part of the nationโ€™s sovereign wealth fund, it would appear to be the first to directly own crypto โœ…

Regulatory challenges continue to mount for crypto exchanges ๐Ÿ”

In the latest in a string of regulatory actions taken by U.S. agencies policing the crypto space, Bittrex is the latest exchange to have made the headlines ๐Ÿ˜“ The SEC has filed a lawsuit against the firm, alleging that it was operating as an unregistered national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. They were also accused of taking steps like instructing issuer-applicants to delete statements related to price predictions, the expectation of profit, etc, to avoid regulatory scrutiny.

Ironically, this lawsuit comes just one month after the exchange announced its intention to shut down ๐Ÿšซ its US operations due to lack of regulatory clarity, dwindling trading volume, and economic inviability!

The SEC's recent actions against multiple crypto exchanges and projects demonstrate their firm intention to regulate the cryptocurrency industry and ensure compliance with federal securities laws. One thing is for sure this time around โ€” The SEC means business ๐Ÿ™
