Ark Invest Buys $21.6 Million Worth Coinbase Shares, Despite Legal Drama

A day back, the SEC sued Coinbase on account of violating U.S. security laws. The regulator contended that Coinbase never registered with the SEC as a broker, national securities exchange, or clearing agency. In effect, the SEC claimed, the crypto exchange evaded the disclosure regime set by regulators. Alongside, the agency also deemed several crypto tokens to be unregistered securities.

On the news of the said development, Coinbase shares started losing value. It shed around a fifth of its value during the pre-market hours. The same pessimistic sentiment was rolled over when the market opened. With no hardly any mercy shown by bears, COIN closed 12.09% lower, at $51.61 on Tuesday June, 6.

Here’s the Obvious Use Case for Crypto, According to Solana Creator Anatoly Yakovenko

Image
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of smart contract platform Solana (SOL), is naming what he says is an “obvious” use case for crypto and blockchain. In a new interview with Austin Federa, head of strategy at the Solana Foundation, Yakovenko says simple payments are one obvious use case for digital assets that anyone can benefit from. 46:52 “I’m actually more focused on trying to do stuff that’s obvious today. I think that’s just really important, to try to get users to go do the things that already work at scale – and those are payments. Very simple kind of thing – let’s send money to each other in a cheap and fast way without [going] around the world.” According to Yakovenko, crypto assets could help simplify finance over the internet as well as let content creators work for themselves rather than be tied to the financial systems of their hosts. 48:57 “[Crypto payments are] just such a better experience for anyone that generates user content.

Terra Luna Price Prediction as LUNA Falls 10% in 24 Hours - Here's Where LUNA is Headed Next

Image
Source: TradingView The Terra Luna price has dopped to $2.00 today, with the altcoin falling by as much as 10% in the past 24-hour period. Its current level represents an 11% fall in a week, although it remains up by 58% in the last 30 days, making it one of the best-performing coins in the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. LUNA's fall today follows news that Binance has updated the 'risk warning' it gives to customers when they trade the altcoin, with the exchange now advising users that the "token has been the subject of negative news/coverage recently." Despite this being a relative improvement over its previous warning, the change has nonetheless underlined the possibility that LUNA will never be considered a 'normal' or 'safe' cryptocurrency, and therefore may not be able to return to its former heights.
