CEX

CEXs are platforms managed by centralized organizations that facilitate the trading of cryptocurrencies, offering high liquidity and user-friendly fiat on-ramps. Leaders like Binance, OKX, and Coinbase serve as the primary gateways for institutional and retail entry.

Compliance doesn’t make crypto risk-free

Compliance doesn’t make crypto risk-free

The post Compliance doesn’t make crypto risk-free appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. A project can spend $500,000 on legal opinions, have a fully doxxed team, and pass every AML check in Singapore. It can still drain to zero in twelve seconds because of a math error in line 40 of its smart contract. This is the reality of modern crypto regulation and compliance. Summary Regulatory compliance keeps bad actors out but doesn’t guard against the real causes of loss in crypto — operational failures, supply-chain attacks, and technical incompetence that can drain a project in seconds. The industry treats compliance like a safety seal, even though it ignores the largest risk surfaces (key management, vendor security, execution failures), which are responsible for the majority of major losses. Crypto needs self-regulation built around measurable, forward-looking risk metrics — such as Probability of Loss — so investors, institutions, and regulators can assess a project’s actual likelihood of failure rather than relying on licenses, audits, or marketing signals. Various jurisdictions built different kinds of Maginot Lines. They protect against front-door risks: money laundering, market manipulation, and misuse of customer funds. However, the most important factor is that regulatory posture is quite fragmented across jurisdictions, and not every regulator offers standards that are fulfillable in practice.  While their intentions are good — prioritizing the legal protection of the end user — their focus is currently not on driving measurable improvement in how market participants operate. For example, the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act, or DORA, obliges financial entities to vet third-party providers and monitor their security posture rigorously; these are governance controls, not execution blocks. A supply chain attack — such as a compromised API or a malicious code injection in a vendor’s…

CFTC Officially Approves Spot Bitcoin Trading In U.S.

CFTC Officially Approves Spot Bitcoin Trading In U.S.

The post CFTC Officially Approves Spot Bitcoin Trading In U.S. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The CFTC is opening the door for federally regulated spot crypto trading in the U.S. for the first time, with Bitnomial’s exchange opening up next week.  Acting Chairman Caroline Pham announced that listed spot crypto products will trade on CFTC-registered exchanges, marking a major milestone in the effort to bring digital asset trading to the United States and under full federal oversight. The announcement coincides with the launch of Bitnomial, Inc., a U.S.-based derivatives exchange, which will operate the first-ever leveraged retail spot crypto exchange under CFTC regulation.  Bitnomial’s Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) will allow both retail and institutional traders to trade spot, perpetuals, futures, and options on a single platform.  Unified portfolio margining and net settlement eliminate redundant margin requirements, boosting capital efficiency and reducing counterparty risk. “Leveraged spot crypto trading is now available under the same regulatory framework as U.S. perpetuals, futures, and options,” said Luke Hoersten, founder and CEO of Bitnomial. “Broker intermediation and Clearinghouse net settlement provide the capital efficiency traders need. We’re bringing leveraged spot crypto trading back to the U.S. with CFTC oversight.” BREAKING: 🇺🇸 CFTC announces spot Bitcoin and crypto can now trade on CFTC-registered exchanges 👀 CFTC said this is to help “make America the crypto capital of the world.” pic.twitter.com/dfzuNPtrTa — Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) December 4, 2025 Pham emphasized that the new framework gives Americans a safer alternative to offshore platforms, which have often been described as the “wild west.”  Speaking on Fox News, she highlighted the collapse of FTX as a cautionary tale, noting that many investors lost out due to a lack of regulatory protections.  “Not only do we want Americans to come back home to trade where they have the protections they deserve, but this also encourages U.S. companies to invest, build, and…
