Tether agreed to bring the three actions into one
Tether, behind stablecoin USDT, agreed to bring the three actions brought against it in October in New York, November in Washington and January in New York once again into one. All three actions are based on the claim that Tether together with Bitfinex, with which it has the same management, influenced the price of Bitcoin and manipulated the growth in its value in 2017. Tether has nothing against this possibility, but continues to argue that actions are not based on truth and are merely the result of a misunderstanding of the market situation.
Americans should learn from China, says “cryptomama”
The United States should learn from Chinese blockchain and digital currency innovations. According to Hester Peirec, the Commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who is known in the cryptocommunity for her positive view of cryptocurrencies as “cryptomama”. “Learn what other countries are doing and make the most of it,” she told to her american colleagues. “There are many innovations in China. I think that a government that recognizes the potential of new technology is worthy of learning from it, ”she added. In the long run, Peirec has drawn attention to a lengthy solution to the issue of US regulation of the crypto industry, which may result in US companies dealing with this technology going elsewhere.
