FTX has filed a $1.8 billion lawsuit against Binance and its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), claiming fraudulent transfers in a 2021 share buyout deal. According to the lawsuit, Binance received $1.76 billion in FTX tokens (FTT) and Binance coins (BNB, BUSD) in exchange for its stakes in FTX entities. FTX’s bankruptcy estate alleges that the funds were misappropriated, potentially from customers, and that FTX was insolvent at the time, making the transaction invalid.

A coalition of 18 U.S. states, led by Kentucky, has filed a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing the agency of exceeding its constitutional authority in regulating cryptocurrencies. The Republican attorneys general from states including Texas, Florida, and Ohio argue that SEC Chair Gary Gensler's approach undermines state regulatory powers and hinders innovation in the $3 trillion digital asset market.&nbsp;

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly launched an investigation into Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction platform, for potential regulatory breaches. Despite settling with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 2022—paying $1.4 million and restricting U.S. users—new allegations suggest the platform may still be accessible to U.S. citizens. The DOJ is examining Polymarket’s operations and compliance measures.
