Hello NWC Fam! Let's take a look at a few highlights together. ✧ One of the founders of the crypto pyramid Onecoin, British and Swedish national Karl Greenwood, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the United States. Greenwood was the architect of the scam’s multi-level marketing structure and served as Onecoin’s global master distributor. ✧ U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler testified before the Senate Banking Committee, stating that crypto is “a field which is rife with fraud, abuse, and misconduct.” He also stated that the securities regulator is still reviewing applications for spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ✧ Asset manager Franklin Templeton has joined the race to issue America’s first exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests directly in bitcoin. The company applied with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), following in the footsteps of other major investment firms like Fidelity and Blackrock. ✧ Blockchain data analytics firm Chainalysis has finalized its latest Global Crypto Adoption Index. India, Nigeria, and Vietnam hold the top three positions, followed by the U.S., Ukraine, Philippines, and Indonesia. “The Central & Southern Asia and Oceania (CSAO) region dominates the top of the index, with six of the top ten countries located in the region,” Chainalysis noted. #US #SEC #ETF
