🗞️ Crypto News Recap: The Top 10 Stories

Welcome back to This Week in Crypto… everything you need to know in one scannable format. Here are the top 10 stories of the week… 

1. 🚫 Crypto Exchange Coinbase Faces SEC Probe Over Securities – Bloomberg News - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating whether Coinbase Global Inc improperly let Americans trade digital assets that “should have been registered as securities.” You can read Coinbase’s fiery response here, which accuses the SEC of regulation through improper “one-off enforcement actions.”

2. 🤠 CFTC Issues Statement Condemning SEC For Overreach - In the absence of clarity from Congress as to which agency should regulate digital assets and whether they are securities or commodities, the CFTC went on the offensive this week in a public turf war with the SEC, condemning the SEC for regulation through litigation instead of regulation through legislation. This is a striking example of why Congress needs to pass the Loomis-Gillibrand bill, and soon.

3. ⚖️ CFTC Launches Office of Technology Innovation to Expand Crypto Regulatory Efforts. The CFTC is creating the new Office of Technology Innovation to expand crypto regulatory work. CFTC Chief Rosten Benning said at a Brookings Institution event on Monday, “We have moved past the stage of digital assets as a research project. In the absence of new legislative authority, we at the CFTC continue to look at how we can work to protect markets and investors within the bounds of our existing authority.” The new OTI director will be Jorge Herrada, who previously worked on the Federal Reserve’s CBDC project and has substantial experience with digital assets.

4. 😢 Bankrupt Voyager Rebuffs Sam Bankman-Fried’s “Low-Ball Bid” - Bankrupt crypto lender Voyager Digital said a recent joint proposal from FTX and Alameda Ventures was a "low-ball bid dressed up as a white knight rescue" and alleged the plan would disrupt its bankruptcy process.

5. ⚖️ Bipartisan Bill To Regulate Stablecoin Is Delayed for at Least Several Weeks - U.S. House lawmakers are delaying consideration of a bipartisan bill to curb potential risks posed by so-called stablecoins, pushing back a vote on the measure until September. This bill should help decide in the U.S. whether non-bank firms will be able to issue stablecoins, what reserve requirements will be, and whether segregation of company funds from depositor funds should be required.

6. 🔥 South Korean Authorities Widen Terra Probe As Co-Founder Daniel Shin’s Home Raided - A probe into possible illegal activity behind the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) and the affiliated LUNA token has deepened with a raid on the Seoul home of the firm’s co-founder Daniel Shin.

7. ✨ Moonbeam Now Lets You Swap Tokens Between Polkadot and Cosmos - Moonbeam, a smart contract parachain on Polkadot, has partnered with Cosmos-based decentralized exchange Osmosis to enable cross-chain token swaps between the Polkadot and Cosmos ecosystems.

8. 💸 Smart Contract Audits Not Bulletproof: Audius Was Hacked for $6M - Decentralized streaming music service Audius was hacked for more than $6 million worth of AUDIO tokens over the weekend, which the attacker stole from its governance smart contract

9. 🗞️ California Overturns Ban on Political Crypto Donations - California’s political campaign financing watchdog approved measures Thursday allowing state and local offices the right to raise funds using crypto once more.

10. 💎 Three Arrows Founders Break Silence Over Collapse of Crypto Hedge Fund - After five weeks in hiding, the founders of Three Arrows Capital, Su Zhu and Kyle Davies, spoke extensively about the spectacular implosion of their once high-flying hedge fund, saying their bungled crypto speculation unleashed cascading margin calls on loans that should never have been made.Share Coinstack

🧵 Thread of the Week - SBF Breaks Down Bankruptcy

By: @SBF_FTX

1) Voyager lost customer assets, but it still has the majority left. Why haven't those been returned to customers yet? Sad facts from a bankruptcy process.

2) Let's say that Voyager has, remaining, 75% of assets (I don't know the exact number).

It seems like the first thing that should happen is that customers get back the 75%, and then later get back the rest if anything is recovered from 3AC.

But that hasn't happened yet.  Why?

3) Well, the *traditional* process is that before customers get their assets back, they get fucked.

First, there's a long, drawn out process, during which funds are frozen.  It can take years.

Remember Mt. Gox?  That process is *still going on*.

4) Meanwhile, that entire time, various bankruptcy agents are slowly bleeding the customer's frozen assets dry with consulting fees.

This can cost customers hundreds of millions of dollars by the time all is said and done.

And, finally, there's an imbedded option.

5) See, if a customers had 1 BTC on the platform, and BTC was worth $30k...

and then it takes years to go through bankruptcy...

what do they get back?  1 BTC, or $30k?

Probably, whichever is worth less.

So the longer the process drags out, the more optionality customers lose.

6) So, what's going on with Voyager?

Well, lots of parties were trying to bid $0.10 on the dollar for the assets.

If a customer had $100 on the platform, a third party would pay $10 for it, get whatever funds remained (maybe $75), and then the customer... gets back $10.

7) And meanwhile, Voyager's consultants would be slowly draining the remaining funds by charging fees every month the bankruptcy process dragged on.

This didn't seem right to us.  Customers already lost assets; we didn't want them to lose more.

8) So we submitted an offer:

If accepted, any customer who wanted could come and get back their share of everything that remained, as soon as possible.

So the customer above would get back $75 immediately, *and* retain their claim in case more was recovered from 3AC.

9) It would let customers--if they chose--get the remaining assets back right away, with no fees or additional haircut.

10) So, who's against our offer?

Well, it was voluntary--customers wouldn't have to use it!

But there are parties that *would* lose from it: third parties who want to take some of the customer assets as fees.

11) The consultants, for instance, likely want the bankruptcy process to drag out as long as possible maximizing their fees.  Our offer would let people claim assets quickly.

Or people who wanted to submit a lower bid--taking a large share of customer assets in the middle.

12) As a disclaimer, I also have a stake in this process, but I'm pretty sure our offer hurts the stake; there's a chance equity in Voyager would be worth more (at the cost of customers) if the process drags out.

But equity holders aren't who matter right now; customers are.

13) Anyway: in the end, we think Voyager's customers should have the right to quickly claim their remaining assets if they want, without rent seeking in the middle.

They've been through enough already.

14 p.s. to clarify: our offer would give Voyager customers back 100% of the remaining assets that Voyager has, including claims on anything recovered in the future.15) ...and the "please give us some excuse to charge more fees on the estate" parade begins:

Anyway we've made our offer, hopefully customers are allowed to choose it if they want.  If not guess it's up to the consultants to ensure prompt liquidity...

Vitamin of the Week: The Definition of the Virtual Real Estate

About this Section: Our friends at Vitamin3 have launched a free daily SMS covering web3 topics. You can subscribe free by sending HELLO to 305-614-9440. Here’s an excerpt from their SMS earlier this week on the Metaverse.

(1/4) Virtual land is a key part of decentralized virtual worlds like Sandbox, where users are active owners & creators of the ecosystems. 

It's easier to understand the appeal when you think of real estate not as a plot of land or building, but as a container of social & economic interactions. In the physical world, those interactions naturally occur in physical spaces. But in the digital realm?

(2/4) A website is a basic unit of digital real estate - it's where information is presented, value is exchanged, and interactions are executed. If a 3D metaverse is the next phase of the Internet, land will play the same role as a host of social & economic experiences - in that way, buying a piece of virtual land is similar to buying an attractive website domain, which can be built out or resold.

(3/4) Virtual plots are NFTs, which makes it easy to trade them. Given the early days of the metaverse, and lack of clarity around which virtual worlds will become most popular, many people are buying land NFTs for option value (or short term speculation) - if one platform starts gaining traction, its land will increase in value; others simply enjoy being early builders of metaverse experiences.

(4/4) No one really knows how to value virtual land today, as methodologies borrowed from traditional real estate (location!) don't make sense with frictionless movement (although land next to plots owned by cool projects or celebrities does sell at a premium!). Virtual land is also artificially supply-restricted - there's a limited number of plots due to platform choice, not physical constraints.

📝 Highlights from the Top Crypto Reports

Here are the top highlights from the best crypto research reports this week…

Messari: State of Solana Q2 2022

About the Author: Messari brings transparency to the crypto economy. Messari wants to help investors, regulators, and the public make sense of this revolutionary new asset class and is building data tools to drive informed decision-making and investment. This is an excerpt from the full article, which you can find here

Key Insights

• While ecosystem growth strategies continued to catalyze Solana network adoption, challenges regarding network reliability persisted during Q2.

• Core developers focused on network updates and building out QUIC and a novel fee prioritization mechanism to improve the network's reliability.

• The network updates mitigated the issues that persisted during the quarter as degraded performance stopped in early June.

• Solana's Neon Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is expected to launch on mainnet over the near term.

• The open sourcing of the Solana Mobile Stack (SMS) for Android and Solana Mobile's Android phone, Saga, will be significant developments over the months ahead.

A Primer on Solana

Solana is a public, open-source blockchain that aims to deliver scalability and support smart contracts without sacrificing decentralization and security. It accomplishes this through a novel timestamp mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH). Using PoH, the network can order and batch transactions before they’re processed through a separate Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus. Additional design goals include sub-second settlement times, low transaction costs, and support for all LLVM-compatible smart contract languages, including Rust, C, and C++.

As a follow-up to the State of Solana Q1 2022 report, this report will revisit developments and events from the prior quarter, analyze the network's most recent quarterly performance, and give insight into the coming months. A complete appendix of data tables is available at the end of the report.

The Second Quarter Narrative

Following unprecedented growth in 2021, the Solana network experienced continued growth in some areas but challenges in others during Q1 2022. Volatility was prevalent across metrics, but stabilization of network usage, financial performance, and network infrastructure occurred by the end of the first quarter. A growing NFT marketplace reached billion-dollar sales volumes, TVL diversified across an increasing number of DeFi applications, and strategies to launch applications across several new sectors were underway as the quarter came to a close. At the same time, growing pains persisted with periods of unstable network conditions, and as a result, the outlook for Q2 2022 was unclear.

Ultimately, chaos arrived at the onset of Q2 as Layer-1 network activity declined dramatically across the space. Macro forces such as hawkish monetary policy and the $60 billion collapse of terraUSD (UST) and LUNA set the market into a tailspin. Solana, like most networks, felt the macroeconomic environment as we saw declines in financial and network usage metrics.

However, the bear market has not stopped Solana from implementing solutions to improve network stability and expand its ecosystem. In Q2, core developers focused on building out QUIC and a novel fee prioritization mechanism to improve the network's reliability and reduce downtime during periods of congestion. Further, strategies to expand ecosystem adoption became more evident with the continued expansion of NFT marketplaces, progress towards EVM compatibility, advancement of Solana Pay, and the roll-out of Solana Mobile.
