<p>Armstrong told <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/coinbase-ceo-says-crypto-bill-could-transform-us-financial-system-senate-vote-approaches" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Fox Business</a> that the Clarity Act now reflects a “true compromise” after months of negotiations between crypto firms, banks, lawmakers, and Senate staff. The comment marks a major shift from earlier tensions over stablecoin rewards, banking concerns, DeFi treatment, and software developer protections.</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s in the best place we’ve seen so far,” Armstrong said, adding that Coinbase is “ready to support a markup later this week.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill on Thursday, May 14, at 10:30 a.m. ET. A markup would not send the bill directly to the president’s desk. It is a committee step that allows lawmakers to debate, amend, and vote on whether to advance the measure toward the full Senate.</p>
<h2>Stablecoin Rewards Remain Central To The Deal</h2>
<p>Stablecoin rewards have been one of the main pressure points in the negotiations. Banks have warned that yield-like programs could pull deposits away from the regulated banking system, while crypto companies have argued that a broad ban would hurt payments innovation and competition.</p>
<p>Armstrong said the latest language meets key concerns from the bank lobby and the Senate by limiting rewards to accounts with “some sort of material activity.” That framing attempts to separate payment-linked incentives from idle stablecoin balances that resemble bank deposits.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/what-is-us-senates-landmark-crypto-bill-2026-05-12/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Reuters</a> reported that the bill would ban rewards on idle balances of dollar-backed stablecoins while allowing rewards tied to transaction-based activity, such as stablecoin payments. The SEC, CFTC, and Treasury would be required to write joint implementation rules for that section.</p>
<p>That compromise gives both sides something to claim. Banks retain language aimed at deposit-flight risk, while crypto platforms preserve room for rewards tied to actual payments, settlement, and customer activity.</p>
<h2>Bill Would Split Oversight And Tighten Compliance</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://cryptoadventure.com/us-clarity-act-explained-how-the-new-crypto-law-could-reshape-bitcoin-xrp-and-ethereum/" data-wpel-link="internal">Clarity Act</a> is designed to create a broader framework for digital assets by clarifying when tokens and platforms fall under SEC or CFTC oversight. The bill also includes anti-money laundering provisions that would treat digital commodity exchanges, brokers, and dealers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act.</p>
<p>That would push crypto intermediaries closer to bank-style compliance duties around customer identification, due diligence, suspicious activity reporting, and transaction monitoring. DeFi is also addressed through rules that would determine when a platform is sufficiently decentralized and when control rights, blocking powers, or special permissions pull it into financial-institution treatment.</p>
<p>Tokenization is another major section. The bill would clarify that putting stocks, bonds, or other securities on a blockchain does not remove them from securities laws. Tokenized securities would generally be treated like the underlying securities they represent.</p>
<p>Armstrong tied the bill to a broader shift in financial infrastructure, saying, “It’s just going to make everything more efficient in the financial system.” He also pointed to banks integrating stablecoins and digital asset services as customer demand grows.</p>
<p>The markup is now the first concrete test. If the bill advances, the next focus will be Democratic support, possible amendments, and whether Senate leadership can build the 60-vote path needed for floor passage.</p>

<p data-start="712" data-end="950">
</p><p data-start="712" data-end="950">Las autoridades federales de Estados Unidos solicitaron el decomiso de más de USD $1 millón al exdirector de ingresos de Celsius Network, Roni Cohen-Pavon, como parte del proceso judicial previo a su sentencia programada para esta semana.</p>
<p data-start="952" data-end="1250">Según documentos presentados ante la Corte del Distrito Sur de Nueva York, el fiscal federal Jay Clayton informó que <strong>Cohen-Pavon aceptó un fallo de USD $1.070.000 correspondiente a ganancias derivadas de los delitos cometidos durante su etapa en la plataforma de préstamos de criptomonedas Celsius.</strong></p>
<p data-start="1252" data-end="1459">La medida se produce en un momento en que continúan las repercusiones legales derivadas del colapso de Celsius, una de las empresas más importantes del ecosistema cripto en quebrar durante la crisis de 2022.</p>
<p data-start="1461" data-end="1706">El caso también se suma a una serie de acciones judiciales emprendidas por reguladores y fiscales estadounidenses contra antiguos ejecutivos de empresas de criptomonedas tras las caídas de Celsius, FTX y otros actores relevantes de la industria.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="da4hfm" data-start="1708" data-end="1760"><strong>Exejecutivo de Celsius aceptó decomiso millonario</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1762" data-end="1961">De acuerdo con la presentación judicial, reseñada por <em><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-government-forfeiture-celsius-roni-cohen-pavon-sentencing">Cointelegraph</a></em>, Cohen-Pavon acordó entregar USD $1,07 millones “<em>representando la cantidad de ingresos rastreables”</em> obtenidos a partir de sus delitos relacionados con Celsius.</p>
<p data-start="1963" data-end="2191">El fiscal Clayton indicó que el exejecutivo recibiría crédito por cualquier fondo, en efectivo o criptomonedas, que aún tenga dentro del proceso de bancarrota de Celsius y que sea utilizado para cumplir con la orden de decomiso.</p>
<p data-start="2193" data-end="2359">Cohen-Pavon se declaró culpable en septiembre de 2023 por cargos de fraude y conspiración para manipular el precio del token CEL, el activo digital nativo de Celsius.</p>
<p data-start="2361" data-end="2601">Las autoridades estadounidenses no recomendaron una sentencia específica para el exdirectivo. En cambio, solicitaron al juez considerar una posible reducción de pena debido a la cooperación brindada por Cohen-Pavon durante la investigación.</p>
<p data-start="2603" data-end="2713">El exejecutivo comparecerá este jueves ante el Tribunal del Distrito Sur de Nueva York para recibir sentencia.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="71ypit" data-start="2715" data-end="2770"><strong>Celsius y el colapso que marcó a la industria cripto</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2772" data-end="3010">La caída de Celsius fue uno de los eventos más importantes de la crisis cripto de 2022. La empresa ofrecía servicios de préstamos y rendimiento sobre criptomonedas, permitiendo a usuarios depositar activos digitales a cambio de intereses.</p>
<p data-start="3012" data-end="3203">Sin embargo, el desplome del ecosistema Terra y la fuerte caída general del mercado generaron presiones de liquidez que terminaron afectando gravemente a Celsius y otras compañías del sector.</p>
<p data-start="3205" data-end="3328">La plataforma suspendió retiros en junio de 2022 y posteriormente se acogió al Capítulo 11 de bancarrota en Estados Unidos.</p>
<p data-start="3330" data-end="3465">El colapso de Celsius contribuyó a un efecto dominó dentro de la industria, precediendo la quiebra de otras firmas relevantes como FTX.</p>
<p data-start="3467" data-end="3659">Las investigaciones posteriores revelaron presuntas prácticas fraudulentas relacionadas con la manipulación del token CEL y declaraciones engañosas sobre la situación financiera de la empresa.</p>
<p data-start="3661" data-end="3849">En mayo de 2025, el exCEO de Celsius, <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Alex Mashinsky</span></span>, fue sentenciado a 12 años de prisión tras declararse culpable de fraude de valores y fraude de materias primas.</p><div class="diari-in-content-middle diari-entity-placement" id="diari-1080040597"><div id="diari-404085428" data-diari-trackid="195495" data-diari-trackbid="1" class="diari-target diari-target"><a data-no-instant="1" href="https://crypto.games/?utm_source=diariobitcoin" rel="noopener" class="a2t-link" target="_blank" aria-label="970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter.avif" alt="" srcset="https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter.avif 970w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-660x170.avif 660w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-840x216.avif 840w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-768x198.avif 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" width="1200" height="250" style=" max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></div></div>
<p data-start="3851" data-end="3950">Mashinsky también aceptó un decomiso superior a USD $48 millones como parte de su acuerdo judicial.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1j878we" data-start="3952" data-end="4010"><strong>La cooperación de Cohen-Pavon podría reducir su condena</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4012" data-end="4168">En abril de este año, los abogados de Cohen-Pavon solicitaron al tribunal que el exejecutivo fuera condenado únicamente al tiempo ya cumplido bajo custodia.</p>
<p data-start="4170" data-end="4351">La defensa argumentó que el acusado cooperó con el gobierno estadounidense y desempeñó un papel importante en el proceso que culminó con la declaración de culpabilidad de Mashinsky.</p>
<p data-start="4353" data-end="4471">Los abogados también señalaron que Cohen-Pavon asumió responsabilidad total por sus acciones relacionadas con Celsius. En una carta enviada al juez John Koeltl, el exejecutivo admitió directamente su participación en la manipulación del token CEL.</p>
<p data-start="4603" data-end="4684">“<em>Me declaré culpable porque soy culpable”,</em> escribió Cohen-Pavon ante el tribunal. El exdirectivo agregó que participó en la manipulación del token y reconoció no haber detenido las prácticas indebidas cuando aún tenía oportunidad de hacerlo.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1dfe8dz" data-start="4847" data-end="4892"><strong>El caso FTX continúa avanzando en paralelo</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4894" data-end="5034">La actualización judicial sobre Celsius coincidió con nuevos desarrollos en el caso del exCEO de FTX, <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Sam Bankman-Fried</span></span>.</p>
<p data-start="5036" data-end="5212">El jueves pasado, el juez Lewis Kaplan ordenó que USD $10 millones en activos vinculados a Bankman-Fried fueran incorporados al acuerdo de decomiso relacionado con el caso FTX.</p>
<p data-start="5214" data-end="5378">Bankman-Fried fue sentenciado a 25 años de prisión y obligado a pagar más de USD $11.000 millones por su papel en el fraude contra usuarios e inversionistas de FTX.</p>
<p data-start="5380" data-end="5561">En abril, el mismo juez rechazó la solicitud de un nuevo juicio presentada por el exCEO, quien argumentó haber enfrentado “<em>prejuicio manifiesto”</em> durante el proceso judicial de 2023. Hasta esta semana, la apelación de Bankman-Fried ante el Segundo Circuito de Apelaciones seguía pendiente.</p>
<p data-start="5671" data-end="5898">Los casos de Celsius y FTX continúan siendo observados de cerca por la industria financiera y regulatoria, debido a que representan algunos de los mayores procesos judiciales surgidos tras el colapso del mercado cripto en 2022.</p>

<h2>Why a Factory-Gate Inflation Spike Matters for Crypto</h2>
<p>Producer prices feed into consumer prices with a lag, so a surprise this large resets the timeline for any Federal Reserve pivot. Markets had been leaning toward a September rate cut, but after the April PPI release, those odds evaporated. Higher-for-longer interest rates tighten financial conditions, strengthen the dollar, and drain liquidity from speculative assets — exactly the kind of environment where risk-on trades like Bitcoin and altcoins struggle.</p>
<p>Bitcoin has already been moving in lockstep with tech stocks and rate expectations for much of 2026. The correlation between crypto and the Nasdaq has tightened again this quarter, making the asset class exceptionally sensitive to US macro data. With core PPI running hot, the window for accommodative monetary policy slides further out, and that directly weighs on crypto’s recovery narrative.</p>
<h2>Regulatory and Institutional Crosscurrents</h2>
<p>While the macro picture darkens, Washington’s crypto policy battle adds another layer of uncertainty. Just days before the data hit, <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/banks-are-trying-to-kill-the-biggest-crypto-bill-in-us-history-four-days-before-the-senate-vote/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">banks were attempting to derail landmark crypto legislation</a> ahead of a Senate vote. A hotter inflation print could stiffen resistance against any bill perceived as adding risk to the financial system, complicating the pathway for the industry’s biggest regulatory breakthrough.</p>
<p>Yet, the on-chain economy tells a more nuanced story. Institutional tokenization efforts have continued to expand, with real-world assets crossing $20 billion on-chain in a milestone week, as covered in a <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/weekly-tokenization-roundup-bullish-buys-equiniti-for-4-2b-ondo-settles-with-jpmorgan-rwa-crosses-20b/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">recent tokenization roundup</a>. While macro headwinds buffet short-term prices, deep-pocketed players are still building infrastructure that could decouple crypto from simple risk-on correlations over the longer run.</p>
<h2>Where Crypto Goes From Here</h2>
<p>The PPI shock doesn’t provide much cover for bulls. Next week’s consumer inflation data will be critical, and if CPI also comes in hot, the Fed may have to revisit its forecasts entirely. For crypto traders, that means more chop, more false breakouts, and a bias toward range-bound action until the inflation narrative shifts.</p>
<p>Still, some altcoins have defied the broader gloom. Tokens like TON and SIREN posted outsized weekly gains as speculation rotated into niche narratives. According to <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/top-crypto-gainers-of-the-week-ton-siren-and-vvv-secure-top-positions/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">recent gainer data</a>, top performers saw rallies above 60%, suggesting that pockets of strength remain even when macro conditions tighten. That divergence underscores a market where token selection becomes more important than broad passive exposure.</p>
<p>The real question is whether the Fed will be forced to hike again, not just delay cuts. If core producer inflation maintains a 5%+ annual clip into the summer, the conversation on Wall Street will shift toward additional tightening. Bitcoin hasn’t faced a genuine rate-hike environment since 2022, and the memory of that drawdown is still fresh. Crypto markets have navigated macro stress before, but a fresh round of PPI this hot is the kind of data point that can reset the entire risk framework for digital assets in 2026.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>Market Caution: Bitcoin’s Recent Rally Warned as Deceptive Spike</title><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 17:38:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://coinstats.app/news/338056f2b9a117012cbe90863013fdde25fa4b7a742fd891862c049a54f0254a_Market-Caution-Bitcoins-Recent-Rally-Warned-as-Deceptive-Spike</guid><description><![CDATA[Veteran technical expert Peter Brandt has issued a stern advisory about the current state of the cryptocurrency market, particularly concerning Bitcoin.

<p>The crypto wallet provider has not filed a draft S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to people familiar with the matter cited by <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/05/13/crypto-wallet-provider-ledger-puts-u-s-ipo-plans-on-hold-due-to-market-conditions" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CoinDesk</a>. A confidential S-1 is typically one of the first formal steps toward a U.S. IPO. The same report said Ledger could consider alternatives, including private fundraising, while it waits for a better window.</p>
<p>The pause follows earlier reports that Ledger had hired Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays to work on a potential U.S. listing that could have valued the company at around $4 billion. In January, <a href="https://www.maddyness.com/uk/2026/01/23/ledger-could-hit-wall-street-as-early-as-2026-at-a-valuation-above-4-billion/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Financial Times-linked reporting</a> placed the possible valuation above $4 billion and said the listing could come as early as 2026 if market conditions supported the deal.</p>
<p>Ledger did not confirm a new timetable. A spokesperson declined to comment on the reported delay.</p>
<h2>Market Conditions Test Crypto IPO Timing</h2>
<p>Ledger’s business sits at the center of crypto custody. The company is best known for hardware wallets that keep users’ private keys offline, a model built around signing transactions on a separate device rather than exposing keys to a browser or phone. Ledger says it has sold more than 8 million signers and that its products secure more than 20% of global crypto assets, according to its <a href="https://www.ledger.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">official website</a>.</p>
<p>That custody angle gives Ledger a strong market identity, but the IPO window has become harder for crypto-native firms. Public-market investors have become more selective after weaker token prices, softer trading volumes, and uneven performance from recent digital asset listings. Kraken also paused its multibillion-dollar IPO plans earlier this year, despite having confidentially filed with the SEC in late 2025.</p>
<p>The reported delay does not mean Ledger has abandoned U.S. capital markets. It shows that timing remains a major factor for crypto infrastructure companies, especially when public investors are pricing custody, exchange, stablecoin, and wallet businesses against broader market liquidity. Hardware wallet demand may remain tied to self-custody adoption, but IPO pricing depends on investor appetite, comparable listings, revenue visibility, and confidence in crypto market cycles.</p>
<h2>New York Remains Part Of Ledger’s Capital Markets Story</h2>
<p>Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier has previously framed New York as the center of gravity for crypto capital. “Today, the money for cryptocurrencies is in New York. It’s nowhere else in the world, and certainly not in Europe,” he told the Financial Times in earlier comments quoted by Maddyness.</p>
<p>That view helps explain why a French crypto security company would explore a Wall Street listing instead of a European market debut. Ledger has also expanded its U.S. presence, including a New York office for institutional activity and a larger push around enterprise custody infrastructure.</p>
<p>The company’s role in self-custody keeps it exposed to one of crypto’s most durable user behaviors: moving assets away from exchanges and into wallets controlled by private keys. For users comparing wallet security models, <a href="https://cryptoadventure.com/best-hardware-wallets-to-use-in-2026-secure-cold-storage-without-the-confusion/" data-wpel-link="internal">hardware wallet custody</a> remains tied to how signing, seed phrases, supply-chain checks, and transaction approvals are handled in practice.</p>
<p>Ledger’s reported IPO pause leaves the company private while it weighs fundraising alternatives. The next concrete markers are whether it files a draft S-1, completes a private round, or waits for stronger public-market demand before testing a valuation near the $4 billion level discussed earlier this year.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr>
<p>Societe Generale anunció planes para aceptar colateral tokenizado como margen para sus clientes de Prime Services y también para actuar como contraparte en transacciones repo tokenizadas dentro de Canton Network. La decisión amplía el alcance de la estrategia blockchain del grupo y muestra que la adopción ya no queda limitada únicamente a su filial especializada en activos digitales.</p>
<p>Hasta ahora, buena parte de la actividad del banco en este terreno se había canalizado a través de SG-FORGE. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión es la matriz de Societe Generale la que encabeza el anuncio, una señal relevante para el mercado institucional, dado que sugiere una integración más directa de herramientas tokenizadas en servicios financieros tradicionales.</p>
<p>Además de este paso, <strong>SG-FORGE planea desplegar sus stablecoins EURCV y USDCV en Canton Network.</strong> Con ello, el grupo busca combinar instrumentos de liquidez digital con nuevas formas de gestión de colateral y financiación garantizada, dos áreas que tienen un peso importante en los mercados de capitales.</p>
<h3><strong>Tokenización y stablecoins de SG sobre Canton</strong></h3>
<p>La tokenización consiste en representar activos financieros mediante tokens sobre una Blockchain. En teoría, esto permite automatizar procesos, reducir fricciones operativas y mejorar la trazabilidad de los activos usados como garantía en operaciones entre instituciones.</p>
<p>En ese contexto, las operaciones repo, o acuerdos de recompra, son contratos esenciales en el sistema financiero. Una parte vende un activo y se compromete a recomprarlo después, generalmente a muy corto plazo. Llevar este mercado a una red blockchain puede ayudar a acelerar conciliaciones y a mejorar la visibilidad sobre el riesgo y la disponibilidad del colateral.</p>
<p>La compañía expresó una visión clara sobre por qué eligió esta infraestructura. Salim Nemouchi, responsable de Equity Derivatives Americas y responsable global de Prime Services en Societe Generale, afirmó que están convencidos de que una blockchain pública con privacidad configurable, como Canton Network, ofrece el marco adecuado para aportar mayor eficiencia a las llamadas de margen, la gestión de colateral y la gestión de riesgos.</p>
<p>La mención a una blockchain pública con privacidad configurable no es menor. En entornos institucionales, muchas entidades buscan los beneficios de interoperabilidad y programación que aporta una red compartida, pero sin renunciar a la confidencialidad que exigen operaciones sensibles entre bancos, brokers y grandes clientes.</p>
<p>Ese equilibrio ha sido uno de los grandes desafíos de la tokenización financiera. En redes completamente privadas, la interoperabilidad suele ser más limitada. En redes públicas, en cambio, la transparencia radical puede chocar con necesidades regulatorias, comerciales y de protección de datos. Por eso, propuestas como Canton han ganado atención en segmentos de infraestructura financiera empresarial.</p>
<h3><strong>Gigante banco francés acude a Canton Network</strong></h3>
<p>La decisión de Societe Generale tampoco surge de la nada. Según reportó Ledger Insights, el banco comenzó en 2022 a utilizar la solución Distributed Ledger Repo, o DLR, de Broadridge. Esa plataforma procesa actualmente alrededor de USD $8 billones en transacciones mensuales, una cifra que ilustra la escala potencial de este tipo de herramientas en mercados mayoristas.</p>
<p>Broadridge ha utilizado tecnología Canton durante años, aunque en un inicio lo hizo en instancias privadas. Ese antecedente ayuda a entender la evolución del ecosistema: primero se prueba la tecnología en entornos cerrados y controlados, luego se avanza hacia configuraciones más abiertas donde distintos participantes pueden coordinar operaciones con mayor eficiencia.</p><div class="diari-in-content-middle diari-entity-placement" id="diari-3723066900"><div id="diari-683155116" data-diari-trackid="195495" data-diari-trackbid="1" class="diari-target diari-target"><a data-no-instant="1" href="https://crypto.games/?utm_source=diariobitcoin" rel="noopener" class="a2t-link" target="_blank" aria-label="970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter"><img decoding="async" src="https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter.avif" alt="" srcset="https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter.avif 970w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-660x170.avif 660w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-840x216.avif 840w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-768x198.avif 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" width="1200" height="250" style=" max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></div></div>
<p>El año pasado, la tecnología de Broadridge ya fue utilizada por Societe Generale para emitir un bono digital en la red pública de Canton. Ese episodio mostró que la entidad no solo exploraba procesos internos, sino también emisiones de instrumentos concretos sobre una infraestructura blockchain diseñada para instituciones financieras.</p>
<p>El banco también había participado en varios ensayos repo de Canton Network. Visto en conjunto, el nuevo anuncio parece ser la continuación lógica de una serie de pruebas, integraciones y despliegues graduales que ahora desembocan en un uso más amplio para servicios de margen y para operaciones repo tokenizadas.</p>
<h3><strong>Qué implica el movimiento para el mercado institucional</strong></h3>
<p>La aceptación de colateral tokenizado por parte de un banco global puede ser interpretada como una señal de maduración para el segmento de los activos financieros tokenizados. En vez de limitarse a pilotos aislados, la novedad apunta al uso de estos instrumentos dentro de actividades diarias de financiación y administración de riesgo.</p>
<p>En Prime Services, la gestión del margen es crítica. Los clientes necesitan aportar garantías de manera eficiente para respaldar posiciones complejas en distintos mercados. Si el colateral puede moverse y verificarse en tiempo real sobre una red programable, el proceso podría volverse más ágil y potencialmente menos costoso desde el punto de vista operativo.</p>
<p>También hay implicaciones para la liquidez. Si las stablecoins de SG-FORGE, EURCV y USDCV, terminan integrándose de forma efectiva en el mismo entorno, Societe Generale podría conectar garantías tokenizadas, efectivo digital y operaciones repo dentro de una sola arquitectura tecnológica. Esa convergencia es uno de los argumentos más repetidos por los defensores de la tokenización institucional.</p>
<p>Al mismo tiempo, el anuncio sugiere que los bancos tradicionales están tratando de no ceder terreno a nuevos actores nativos de blockchain. En lugar de observar desde afuera, algunas entidades están adaptando su oferta para capturar eficiencias en mercados donde el procesamiento, la conciliación y la movilización de activos siguen siendo complejos.</p>
<h3><strong>Societe Generale amplía usos de Blockchain</strong></h3>
<p>Es importante matizar que el anuncio no detalla fechas concretas de despliegue a gran escala ni volúmenes esperados para estas nuevas actividades. Tampoco especifica qué tipos exactos de activos tokenizados serán aceptados como colateral. Aun así, el mensaje principal sí es claro: Societe Generale quiere ampliar el uso práctico de infraestructura blockchain en procesos financieros institucionales.</p>
<p>Otro punto relevante es el papel de la casa matriz frente a SG-FORGE. Que la entidad principal lidere la comunicación refuerza la idea de que la tokenización empieza a pasar de un laboratorio especializado a una estrategia integrada en el negocio bancario central. Ese cambio suele ser uno de los indicadores más importantes cuando una innovación comienza a institucionalizarse.</p>
<p>En paralelo, la expansión hacia Canton Network puede verse como parte de una competencia más amplia entre infraestructuras de blockchain empresarial. Bancos, gestores de activos y proveedores de tecnología buscan redes capaces de soportar emisiones, pagos, garantía y financiación con controles de privacidad y cumplimiento más cercanos a los requisitos del sector financiero.</p>
<p>Por ahora, el anuncio sitúa a Societe Generale como uno de los bancos europeos más activos en la adopción de instrumentos tokenizados para usos concretos de mercado. Si la implementación avanza según lo previsto, la combinación de colateral tokenizado, repos en blockchain y stablecoins reguladas podría convertirse en una referencia para otras instituciones que siguen evaluando cómo modernizar su infraestructura financiera.</p>

Entre las críticas más contundentes destaca la de WallStreetBets, que sostiene que los formularios 10-Q son una de las pocas herramientas que equilibran el acceso a información entre inversores minoristas e institucionales.</strong></p>
<p><strong>***</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>WallStreetBets afirmó que los formularios 10-Q son el principal mecanismo de igualdad informativa entre minoristas e institucionales.</strong></li>
<li><strong>La SEC propone que las empresas elijan entre mantener reportes trimestrales o presentar solo un informe anual y uno semestral.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Más de 120 comentarios públicos rechazaron la iniciativa en su primera semana, incluyendo planificadores financieros, gestores de hedge funds y un exabogado de la SEC.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr>
<p>La Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de Estados Unidos (SEC) abrió un nuevo frente de debate en los mercados tras proponer, la semana pasada, una flexibilización de los estándares de reporte trimestral para las empresas que cotizan en bolsa.</p>
<p>La medida permitiría que las compañías elijan cada año entre mantener el esquema actual de un informe anual y tres trimestrales, o pasar a un formato con un reporte anual y uno semestral.</p>
<p>La respuesta inicial ha sido ampliamente negativa. Entre los cuestionamientos más visibles figura una carta enviada por la comunidad de WallStreetBets, el popular foro de Reddit asociado a la ola de memestocks y a la fiebre de GameStop.</p>
<p>En el documento, no firmado, <strong>el grupo sostiene que los formularios 10-Q constituyen <em>“el mecanismo de nivelación más importante entre los inversores minoristas e institucionales en los mercados de renta variable de EE. UU.</em>”</strong></p>
<p>Para entender el alcance, vale recordar que el formulario 10-Q es uno de los principales reportes financieros que las empresas públicas presentan ante el regulador. Su publicación trimestral ofrece a los inversionistas datos periódicos sobre ingresos, riesgos, balances y evolución operativa. Reducir esa frecuencia no elimina la obligación de informar, pero sí ampliaría los períodos sin divulgación obligatoria.</p>
<p>Ese punto es central para los críticos. WallStreetBets, que se define en la carta como una comunidad de “<em>aproximadamente 18 millones de inversores minoristas en Reddit</em>”, argumentó que los actores institucionales ya cuentan con ventajas estructurales. Según el texto, esos participantes tienen acceso a redes de expertos, channel checks, datos alternativos, imágenes satelitales de estacionamientos de minoristas, paneles de tarjetas de crédito y contacto directo con directivos en conferencias y reuniones privadas.</p>
<p>“<em>Nosotros tenemos el 10-Q”</em>, resume la misiva.</p>
<h3><strong>La crítica de WallStreetBets a la SEC</strong></h3>
<p>La carta dirigida al regulador fue especialmente dura al cuestionar la lógica de costo-beneficio detrás de la propuesta. WallStreetBets respondió al argumento de la SEC sobre el ahorro para las empresas con una pregunta directa: cuál sería, en cambio, el costo para un inversionista minorista de mantener una posición durante seis meses sin una sola divulgación obligatoria por parte de la compañía.</p>
<p>La comunidad respondió esa pregunta con tono mordaz. A su juicio, la respuesta “no es cero”, sino la diferencia entre lo que saben los insiders y lo que sabe el pequeño inversionista, multiplicada por cada acción mantenida durante ese vacío informativo. En la carta, añaden que alguien capturará ese diferencial, y sugieren con ironía que no serán los participantes minoristas.</p>
<p>La SEC ha defendido el cambio señalando que los reportes semestrales reducirían las cargas de tiempo y costo asociadas con preparar un 10-Q cada trimestre. También sostiene que el nuevo esquema ayudaría a que las empresas se concentren más en el crecimiento de largo plazo, en vez de orientarse por las estimaciones trimestrales de los analistas de Wall Street.</p>
<p>WallStreetBets rechazó de plano esa justificación. En otro pasaje de la carta, afirmó que las empresas no están siendo frenadas hacia la grandeza por la obligación de presentar cuatro informes al año. Como ejemplo, menciona a Apple, que presenta 10-Q trimestrales y posee USD $900.000 millones en equivalentes de efectivo, y a Nvidia, que también reporta trimestralmente y ya vale más que el PIB de la mayoría de los países del G20.</p><div class="diari-in-content-middle diari-entity-placement" id="diari-3769898102"><div id="diari-4134532462" data-diari-trackid="195495" data-diari-trackbid="1" class="diari-target diari-target"><a data-no-instant="1" href="https://crypto.games/?utm_source=diariobitcoin" rel="noopener" class="a2t-link" target="_blank" aria-label="970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter.avif" alt="" srcset="https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter.avif 970w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-660x170.avif 660w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-840x216.avif 840w, https://diariobitcoin.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/970x250_2-ezgif.com-gif-to-avif-converter-768x198.avif 768w" sizes="(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px" width="1200" height="250" style=" max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></div></div>
<p>La comunidad remató ese argumento con una frase sarcástica: si los informes trimestrales están aplastando al capitalismo estadounidense, entonces el capitalismo estadounidense lo está ocultando bien. También señaló que todo el S&amp;P 500 cumple hoy con ese esquema y que el índice se encuentra en máximos históricos.</p>
<h3><strong>Rechazo amplio en el período de comentarios públicos</strong></h3>
<p>La oposición a la propuesta no proviene solo del ecosistema de inversionistas minoristas. Según reportó <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/13/r-wallstreetbets-really-hates-the-secs-proposal-to-weaken-quarterly-reporting/"><em>TechCrunch</em></a>, más de 120 personas rechazaron la idea durante la primera semana del período de comentarios públicos de 60 días. Ese volumen de respuestas tempranas sugiere que la discusión podría ganar aún más tracción antes de que cierre la ventana de recepción, prevista para comienzos de julio.</p>
<p>Entre quienes enviaron comentarios figuran inversores minoristas, algunos de ellos de forma anónima, pero también planificadores financieros certificados, gestores de hedge funds e incluso un exabogado de la SEC. Ese último caso tuvo un matiz peculiar, ya que, además de criticar la medida, aprovechó la instancia para promocionar su libro.</p>
<p>Otro elemento llamativo es que la iniciativa ha generado incomodidad en ambos lados del espectro político. Un planificador financiero anónimo escribió que, después de años luchando contra reglas impulsadas ideológicamente que politizaron las divulgaciones corporativas, nunca esperó ver a una Comisión liderada por republicanos entregar una exención “envuelta para regalo” que, en su visión, socava con tanta claridad la transparencia del mercado e inclina el terreno en contra de los inversores minoristas de a pie.</p>
<p>Incluso entre las escasas voces favorables al cambio aparecen reservas importantes. Algunas de las personas que apoyan la regla han sugerido que, si se reducen los 10-Q, las empresas al menos deberían publicar estados mensuales de ingresos y balances. Esa salvedad revela que, aun entre los defensores de la flexibilización, persiste la preocupación por no deteriorar demasiado el flujo de información hacia el mercado.</p>
<h3><strong>Un debate relevante para futuras salidas a bolsa</strong></h3>
<p>La discusión adquiere mayor importancia por el contexto del mercado. La propuesta llega en un momento en que SpaceX, de la que se espera una asignación sin precedentes de acciones de su IPO a inversores minoristas, empieza a figurar entre las compañías observadas de cerca de cara a una eventual salida a bolsa. Junto a ella aparecen otras startups de IA y tecnología de alto perfil que también estarían haciendo fila para cotizar en mercados públicos.</p>
<p>Para los críticos, reducir la frecuencia de reportes justo cuando podrían ingresar al mercado emisores de enorme atención mediática implica aumentar el riesgo informativo para los pequeños participantes. En escenarios de alta expectativa y valuaciones exigentes, cada ventana sin datos oficiales puede abrir espacio a especulación, rumores y ventajas para quienes tengan mejores fuentes de información.</p>
<h3>Ese temor conecta con una transformación más amplia del mercado en la última década. Cada vez más inversores minoristas operan desde apps, foros y redes sociales, y muchos se acercan por primera vez a acciones tecnológicas de crecimiento, memestocks o vehículos muy volátiles. En ese entorno, los reportes periódicos cumplen una función pedagógica además de regulatoria, ya que ofrecen una base mínima común para interpretar resultados y riesgos.</h3>
<h3><strong>Humor y autocrítica en la carta de WallStreetBets</strong></h3>
<p>La propia carta de WallStreetBets recupera ese punto con una mezcla de humor y autocrítica. <strong>El grupo admite que algunos de sus miembros son muy buenos invirtiendo y otros, “<em>en el sentido técnico del derecho de valores</em>”, terribles en ello. </strong></p>
<p>También reconoce que muchos aprendieron qué era un 10-Q después de comprar una acción, verla caer un 40% tras un reporte de resultados y recién entonces leer el documento para entender por qué.</p>
<p>Ese, dicen, es un orden de operaciones estúpido, pero también fue el mecanismo por el cual toda una generación de inversores minoristas aprendió a leer estados financieros por su cuenta. Por eso consideran que recortar a la mitad ese mecanismo no solo reduciría transparencia, sino también una herramienta básica de formación práctica en los mercados públicos.</p>
<p>Por ahora, el proceso sigue abierto y todavía faltan pronunciamientos de algunos de los actores institucionales más grandes. La profesora de derecho Ann Lipton, quien destacó el comentario de WallStreetBets en BlueSky y ha seguido el tema, señaló recientemente que las grandes firmas de inversión aún no han fijado públicamente posición. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, pocas objeciones han sido tan contundentes como la del foro que sobrevivió al furor de GameStop cinco años después de aquel episodio.</p>

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York indicated that Roni Cohen-Pavon consented to a judgment of $1,070,000 representing proceeds traceable to his alleged crimes, with credit for funds—whether cash or cryptocurrency—held in Celsius that may be available through the platform’s bankruptcy process.</p>
<p>Cohen-Pavon pleaded guilty in September 2023 to fraud and conspiracy to commit price manipulation tied to Celsius’s CEL token. In advancing the case, U.S. authorities did not prescribe a specific sentence but requested the judge consider a potential sentencing reduction for substantial assistance rendered by the defendant. He is scheduled to appear for sentencing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Thursday.</p>
<p>The Celsius collapse stands among the crypto industry’s most consequential bankruptcies of 2022. It unfolded in a period that also saw the Terra ecosystem’s downfall and contributed to a broader wave of distress that culminated in FTX’s Chapter 11 filing. In a related development, former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky was sentenced to 12 years in prison in May 2025 after pleading guilty to commodities and securities fraud and agreeing to a forfeiture exceeding $48 million.</p>
<p>In April, Cohen-Pavon’s counsel sought leniency, asking for a sentence of time served, underscoring the cooperation agreement and Cohen-Pavon’s potential role in Mashinsky’s guilty plea. They argued that the Celsius executive had taken “full responsibility for his conduct.” In a letter to Judge John Koeltl, Cohen-Pavon stated, “I pleaded guilty because I am guilty … I participated in the manipulation of the CEL token. I did not stop it when I should have, and I did not leave when I could have. I take full responsibility for that.”</p>
<h2>Key takeaways</h2>
<ul>
<li>The court-approved forfeiture amounts to $1,070,000 linked to proceeds traced to Cohen-Pavon’s wrongdoing, with potential offsets for Celsius assets under bankruptcy.</li>
<li>Cohen-Pavon pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy to manipulate the CEL token price in September 2023; sentencing factors will consider substantial cooperation with prosecutors.</li>
<li>The Celsius case is part of a broader post-2022 enforcement narrative targeting crypto firms, market manipulation, and misrepresentation in crypto lending ecosystems.</li>
<li>Separately, Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered that $10 million of assets tied to Sam Bankman-Fried be applied to his forfeiture obligations as part of the FTX proceedings, with Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years and a liability exceeding $11 billion; appeals remained pending as of the latest filings.</li>
<li>In related filings, prosecutors and defense teams have highlighted cooperation and ongoing policy implications for crypto governance, market integrity, and bankruptcy treatment of digital assets.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Forfeiture, sentencing, and the enforcement context for crypto executives</h2>
<p>The Cohen-Pavon matter illustrates how U.S. prosecutors pursue financial penalties that trace to illicit conduct in crypto markets and how those penalties interact with bankruptcy procedures. The $1.07 million judgment signals the government’s effort to recover proceeds believed to originate from manipulation schemes associated with a high-profile token tied to a bankrupt platform. The court filings also reflect a structural tension in crypto enforcement: penalties are pursued in parallel with complex asset recovery processes that cross into bankruptcy estates and digital asset holdings.</p>
<p>From a regulatory and compliance perspective, the case underscores several practical implications for crypto firms, exchanges, and platform operators. First, it highlights the risk that executives and employees can face aggressive enforcement actions for market manipulation and related fraud in crypto markets. Second, it reinforces the role of cooperation credits in sentencing, a factor that may influence corporate governance considerations, internal investigations, and the design of compliance programs. Third, it emphasizes the importance of transparent asset tracing and the treatment of digital assets in bankruptcy contexts, an area that has grown increasingly intricate as crypto assets are exchanged, stored, and audited in real-world estate-like processes.</p>
<h2>Broader context: Celsius, Terra, and the evolving enforcement landscape</h2>
<p>The Celsius collapse was a watershed event in 2022, signaling vulnerabilities in crypto lender models and the liquidity risks tied to yield strategies that relied on volatile token economics. Analysts note that the episode occurred in a tumultuous period that also involved the Terra collapse and major platform distress that culminated in the FTX bankruptcy. In the wake of these events, U.S. authorities intensified scrutiny over market manipulation, disclosures, and the legality of complex tokenized instruments used by crypto firms to attract and retain customers.</p>
<p>The broader enforcement environment continues to evolve, with agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuing cases that touch on securities, commodities, and payment token questions. In parallel, the criminal-justice approach to enforcement intersects with regulatory regimes abroad, including the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which aims to harmonize licensing, investor protection, and market integrity standards. For institutions, this convergence reinforces the necessity of robust AML/KYC frameworks, rigorous internal controls, and clear governance structures to manage legal risk across cross-border operations.</p>
<h2>Enforcement actions tied to the SBF case and implications for policy</h2>
<p>In a separate but contemporaneous action, SDNY Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered that $10 million in assets associated with Sam Bankman-Fried be applied toward his forfeiture agreement. Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison, faces a total liability exceeding $11 billion for the fraud and misappropriation of customer funds. As of the latest proceedings, his attempts to seek a new trial had been denied, and his appeal to overturn the conviction remained under review by the Second Circuit. The Kaplan decision highlights how asset recovery and forfeiture play a central role in high-profile crypto prosecutions, alongside traditional sentencing considerations.</p>
<p>For policymakers and compliance professionals, the Bankman-Fried case and related Celsius developments illustrate ongoing tensions between rapid innovation in crypto markets and the need for robust oversight. The enforcement trajectory reinforces the expectation that regulators will scrutinize token economics, disclosures around custody and custody arrangements, and the handling of customer funds in the context of corporate restructuring. It also underscores the importance of coordinated actions across jurisdictions as regulators pursue cross-border asset tracing and restitution in complex digital-asset ecosystems.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, market participants and observers should monitor how potential sentencing outcomes, asset-recovery decisions, and regulatory developments interact with ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, licensing considerations, and international regulatory alignment. The convergence of criminal enforcement, bankruptcy law, and regulatory oversight is likely to shape governance standards for crypto firms, influence licensing decisions, and inform AML/KYC policy design in the period ahead.</p>
<p>Closing perspective: The sequence of cases surrounding Celsius and FTX-era executives reinforces a clear priority for enforcement authorities—establishing accountability for market manipulation, fraud, and misuse of customer assets within digital-asset platforms. As regulatory frameworks mature and cross-border cooperation intensifies, institutions engaging in crypto activities should expect continued scrutiny, greater emphasis on compliance infrastructure, and a measured but persistent risk of execution actions tied to misconduct in crypto markets.</p>

<ul>
<li>Binance XRP selling flows increase while buyers defend crucial $1.44 support levels.</li>
<li>CryptoQuant data shows weakening momentum despite earlier strong XRP buying activity.</li>
<li>Negative CVD conditions raise volatility risks across upcoming XRP trading sessions.</li>
</ul>
<p>CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain has released a new Binance market update showing that selling pressure around<span><a href="https://36crypto.com/alert-over-590-million-xrp-exits-binance-and-coinabse-heres-why-it-matters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> XRP</a></span> has started increasing despite the asset remaining stable above the $1.44 level. The analysis focused on weakening buyer momentum across Binance as cumulative trading flows gradually shifted toward sellers during recent trading sessions.</p><br>
<p><a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/6a03fdbf38c2383864e1029b-Rising-Selling-Pressure-on-XRP-on-Binance-Signals-Weakening-Buyer-Strength" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span>According to Arab Chain</span></a>, XRP previously recorded stronger market conditions after the 30-day price-CVD correlation coefficient climbed near 0.58. The analyst explained that the earlier recovery phase reflected genuine spot demand entering the market rather than speculative trading activity during weak liquidity conditions.</p><br>
<h2>Binance Order Flow Begins Favoring Sellers</h2>
<p>Recent Binance data now shows changing market conditions after the cumulative volume delta moved back into negative territory. CryptoQuant figures revealed XRP CVD declining near -10.9 million even while price remained above important support levels around $1.44.</p><br>

<p>Moreover, the weakening relationship between XRP price movement and cumulative buying flows suggests bullish momentum may be slowing after earlier recovery attempts. Consequently, analysts believe the market may now be entering a temporary redistribution phase where sellers gradually gain stronger influence over short-term direction.</p><br>
<p>Despite rising pressure, XRP has continued avoiding a major breakdown so far. Buyers still appear willing to absorb part of the ongoing sell activity near current price levels.</p><br>
<h2>What Rising Selling Pressure Could Mean For XRP Price</h2>
<p>Current Binance trading activity suggests <span><a href="https://36crypto.com/xrp-whales-are-loading-up-fast-as-massive-wallets-reach-historic-record/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP</a></span> may be approaching a critical short-term period as selling pressure continues increasing beneath stable prices. While XRP remains above the $1.44 region, weakening cumulative buying flows often reduce bullish momentum if buyers fail to regain stronger market control.</p><br>
<p>According to the CryptoQuant analysis, prolonged negative CVD conditions may increase the probability of higher volatility during upcoming trading sessions. In many crypto markets, deteriorating order flow conditions usually emerge before stronger price reactions develop.</p><br>
<p>However, XRP price stability may still indicate existing spot demand within the market. If buying activity rebounds again, XRP could maintain support and attempt another recovery phase during upcoming sessions.</p><br>
