On Wednesday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a motion to settle its massive lawsuit against Tron crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun for a $10 million civil penalty. The deal, if approved by a judge, effectively ends one of the agency’s most high-profile enforcement actions without a drawn-out trial. The agency claimed Sun and his companies sold unregistered securities (TRX and BTT) and manipulated the market through extensive “wash trading.” For the crypto industry, this is could signal a major shift. Instead of fighting to the bitter end, the regulator is accepting a fine from Rainberry Inc. (the company…

That said, Bitcoin does have issues that many Bitcoiners are not aware of, but could threaten its long-term prospects if not addressed properly. The vulnerabilities fixed by the Consensus Cleanup are one such…

Pi Network’s native token continues to defy the overall market moves, as the asset has charted gains even in the past 24 hours when bitcoin and most other altcoins have posted losses. The most probable reason behind this disparity could be linked to the recent updates announced by the team, including a deadline for the next big one.
