Crypto Hacks and Frauds Surge in Q2 2024 A recent report by Immunefi highlights a significant rise in crypto hacks and fraudulent activities during the second quarter of 2024, with total losses reaching $572.7 millionāa 112% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Hacks were responsible for 98.5% of these losses, with centralized finance (CeFi) platforms being the primary targets. Ethereum emerged as the most targeted blockchain, closely followed by the BNB Chain. Notably, two major hacks, including a $305 million theft from Japan's DMM Bitcoin and a $55 million loss from Turkey's BtcTurk, accounted for 62.8% of the total losses. Mitchell Amador, Founder and CEO of Immunefi, stressed the critical importance of robust security measures, noting that infrastructure compromises can lead to massive damages. Interestingly, despite the overall increase in losses, fraud-related losses decreased by 81% compared to Q2 2023, and approximately 5% of stolen funds were recovered. The report also revealed that Asian exchanges were particularly affected, including India's WazirX, which lost $230 million to a hack. The exchange is actively seeking ways to recover the funds and restore withdrawals.

SEC to Amend Complaint Against Binance and Founder Changpeng Zhao In a recent court filing, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has signaled its intention to amend its original complaint against Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao. The regulator plans to file a motion to amend its complaint within 30 days, potentially dropping its charges against Solana (SOL) and Polygon (MATIC) tokens. This move follows a June 28 court ruling that allowed some claims to proceed while dismissing others. Judges will likely decide whether these tokens are unregistered securities or otherwise. The SEC is pushing for the immediate commencement of discovery, based on claims that have survived Binanceās motion to dismiss, including Counts 1, 3, and 4ā13 from the original complaint. The regulator argues thereās no need to delay this process. However, Binance and its co-defendants argue that agreeing to discovery without first reviewing the SECās proposed amended complaint is unreasonable, as the scope of the case could change with the new filing. This latest filing responds to the courtās July 9 order.

SEC Charges Against BitC Founder Nader Al-Naji The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against Nader Al-Naji, the founder of the social media platform BitClout, for allegedly running a fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme. The SEC accuses Al-Naji of illegally raising over $257 million through the sale of BTCLT tokens, misleading investors by claiming that their money would not be used for employee compensation, and instead spending over $7 million of investor funds on personal expenses. Furthermore, Al-Naji is accused of creating a false identity to give an illusion of decentralization, and obtaining a legal opinion through misrepresentation. According to the SEC, Al-Naji used the pseudonym āDiamondhandsā to hide his involvement and avoid regulatory oversight, while falsely assuring investors that BClout was a decentralized project without any company behind it. The complaint highlights Al-Naji's lavish spending, including rent for a Beverly Hills mansion and large cash gifts to family members. Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SECās Enforcement Division, stated that Al-Naji attempted to evade federal securities laws and defraud the public by creating confusion through the false notion of decentralization. The lawsuit also names Al-Najiās wife and mother as relief defendants.
