Binance Confirms Insider Abuse, Suspends Employee

Binance Confirms Insider Abuse, Suspends Employee

The post Binance Confirms Insider Abuse, Suspends Employee appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Binance is confronting one of its most serious internal compliance breaches of the year after launching a rapid investigation into an employee accused of using insider information for personal gain. The issue surfaced on December 7, 2025, when the company’s internal audit team received a report alleging that a Binance staff member accessed unreleased information, used it to post from an official account, and leveraged the visibility for improper benefit. Binance confirmed the report and disclosed the findings publicly through a detailed announcement shared with its community, alongside the original statement from @BinanceFutures on X Investigation of Employee Misconduct Incident On December 7, 2025, Binance’s internal audit department received a report alleging that a Binance employee had used insider information to post on official social media and improperly obtain personal gain. We immediately launched an… — Binance Futures (@BinanceFutures) December 8, 2025 The exchange says its goal is clear: address the misconduct transparently, enforce disciplinary actions, and reinforce trust at a time when user confidence remains critical across the digital-asset industry. Verified Findings Show Coordinated Abuse of Position The preliminary investigation reveals a precise timeline. According to Binance, the employee in question was directly tied to a token that was deployed on-chain at 05:29 UTC on December 7. Less than a minute later, text and images related to that same token appeared in a tweet from the official @BinanceFutures account, a sequence Binance described as a blatant misuse of internal access. The company stated the actions “constitute abuse of their position for personal gain” and clearly violate internal policies and the firm’s code of professional conduct. The revelation is significant because Binance posts often move markets, meaning any employee with access to official channels carries outsized responsibility, and any misuse carries outsized consequences. Disciplinary Measures Begin Immediately Binance moved quickly.…

Cronos Labs Launches Cronos One to Simplify Web3 Onboarding

The post Cronos Labs Launches Cronos One to Simplify Web3 Onboarding appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cronos Verify, a gasless and privacy-preserving on-chain attestation that connects a user’s wallet to a verified Crypto.com account, lies at the core of the launch. The platform unifies wallet top-ups, bridging, and on-chain identity verification into a single, seamless experience. Today, Cronos Labs unveiled Cronos One (one.cronos.org), a unified onboarding platform that makes it easier for new and cross-chain users to join the Cronos ecosystem. For the next generation of Web3 users, the platform unifies wallet top-ups, bridging, and on-chain identity verification into a single, seamless experience. Cronos Verify, a gasless and privacy-preserving on-chain attestation that connects a user’s wallet to a verified Crypto.com account, lies at the core of the launch. This is part of a larger trend in Web3 toward decentralized identity standards and verifiable attestations, which are being utilized more and more to allow more equitable incentive structures and bolster Sybil resilience. On-chain attestations are becoming the basis for cross-dApp verification signals, gated utilities, and loyalty systems as frameworks like EAS (Ethereum Attestation Service) gain traction. Partners like Moonlander, Delphi, Tectonic, and VVS Finance are providing advantages including prediction vouchers, trading fee refunds, unique launchpad access, and gasless transactions via Cronos Verify. These capabilities provide dApps confidence in the integrity of their user base while ensuring that incentives reach actual users. The launch coincides with the beginning of the Cronos x402 Hackathon, where developers are already testing programmable payment flows and agent-driven transactions that depend on verified identity signals. Verifiable attestations, such as Cronos Verify, are becoming a crucial component of secure and expandable agentic infrastructure as developer interest in AI-assisted and automated transactions increases. Cronos One fulfills the promise to make the ecosystem more verifiable, accessible, and prepared for institutional-grade applications, and it marks significant advancement on the Cronos 2025–2026 agenda. This expands on previous infrastructure improvements, including as a tenfold decrease in…

SEC Chair Atkins Indicates Certain ICOs May Not Qualify as Securities

SEC Chair Atkins Indicates Certain ICOs May Not Qualify as Securities

The post SEC Chair Atkins Indicates Certain ICOs May Not Qualify as Securities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SEC Chair Paul Atkins clarified that ICOs involving network tokens, digital collectibles, and digital tools are not considered securities, placing them outside SEC jurisdiction and under CFTC oversight. This encourages innovation in non-security token sales while focusing regulation on tokenized securities. Network tokens linked to decentralized blockchains avoid securities classification. Digital collectibles referencing memes, characters, or trends are exempt from SEC rules. Digital tools providing functions like tickets or memberships, with over 70% of 2017 ICOs now potentially unregulated under this taxonomy. Discover which ICOs are not securities according to SEC Chair Paul Atkins. Explore non-security token types and implications for crypto fundraising in 2025. Stay informed on regulatory shifts today. What Types of ICOs Are Not Considered Securities by the SEC? ICOs not considered securities include those for network tokens, digital collectibles, and digital tools, as outlined by SEC Chair Paul Atkins. These categories fall outside the SEC’s definition of securities, allowing them to proceed without registration under securities laws. Atkins emphasized encouraging such transactions to foster blockchain innovation, shifting oversight to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for most crypto activities. How Does the SEC’s Token Taxonomy Classify Non-Security ICOs? The SEC’s token taxonomy, introduced by Chair Paul Atkins last month, divides tokens into four categories: network tokens, digital collectibles, digital tools, and tokenized securities. Network tokens support decentralized blockchain networks and enable peer-to-peer transactions without centralized control. Digital collectibles often tie to internet memes, characters, current events, or cultural trends, functioning more like unique digital assets than investment contracts. Digital tools offer practical utilities, such as access tickets, memberships, or software functionalities within blockchain ecosystems. According to Atkins’ framework, ICOs in these three areas do not meet the Howey Test criteria for securities, which requires an investment of money in a common enterprise with expectations of profits…

Stripe-backed Tempo blockchain inches toward launch with public testnet

Stripe-backed Tempo blockchain inches toward launch with public testnet

Tempo, a highly-anticipated layer 1 blockchain, took a major step toward launch on Tuesday with the release of its public test network. “What began as a vision for a payments-first blockchain is now a functioning network being tested by many of the world’s leading companies,” the company said in a news release. Backed by Stripe and crypto venture capital firm Paradigm, Tempo made waves when it was first unveiled in September. That is, in part, because Stripe’s position as one of the world’s preeminent payment processors guarantees that Tempo will enjoy vast distribution upon its launch sometime in 2026. With a valuation of $106 billion, Stripe was the largest privately-held fintech company as of September, according to FinTech Magazine. In 2024, it processed $1.4 trillion in payment volume, “equivalent to around 1.3% of global GDP,” according to the company. It customers included half of the Fortune 100, including NVIDIA, PepsiCo, and Comcast.And Tempo has lured several well-respected crypto researchers, executives, and software engineers, such as former Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist, former Optimism Labs CEO Liam Horne, and Rice University Professor Mallesh Pai. “We ourselves were disappointed with crypto’s payments utility for much of the past decade,” Stripe CEO Patrick Collison wrote on Hacker News earlier this year. He changed his mind, however, after seeing how businesses found real-world utility in stablecoins. “None of these businesses are using crypto because it’s crypto or for any speculative benefit,” Collison said. “They’re performing real-world financial activity.” Tempo aims to offer low-fee payment transactions — its goal is a tenth of a cent per transaction — without the congestion that can snarl general-purpose blockchains. “Payments have guaranteed blockspace reserved at the protocol level,” Tempo said on Tuesday. “They don’t compete with other traffic like NFT mints, liquidations, or high-frequency contract calls.” The permissionless blockchain will also feature a built-in decentralised exchange optimised for stablecoins and tokenised deposits. The Tempo client is open-source, allowing anyone to run a node, according to the company. Though the test network began with four company-run validators, Tempo will expand its validator set to include its design partners before eventually moving to a permissionless model. On Tuesday, Tempo said it had added UBS, Mastercard, and Kalshi, among others, as new “design partners.” Initial design partners included Anthropic, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, OpenAI, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa.Aleks Gilbert is DL News’ New York based DeFi correspondent.
