🚨 Insider news🚨
The news is about an insider trading case involving Coinbase's former product manager Ishan Wahi. Insider trading is when someone uses confidential information that is not available to the public to buy or sell securities (such as stocks or crypto assets) for their own benefit or the benefit of others. This is illegal and can result in civil or criminal penalties.
According to the news, a U.S. court has ruled that the trading of certain crypto assets on a secondary market, like crypto exchanges, are securities transactions. This means that they are subject to the same laws and regulations that apply to traditional securities, such as stocks or bonds. This is a significant ruling because it could affect how crypto assets are classified and regulated in the future.
