New York Attorney General James Sues To Shut Down Illegal Cryptocurrency Trading Platform And Virtual Currency, Seeks To Recoup Defrauded Funds For Thousands Of Investors - Coinseed Willfully Ignored Numerous Securities And Commodities Registration Laws - Unregistered Trading Platform Put Thousands Of Investors' Money At Risk

Date 17/02/2021

New York Attorney General Letitia James today took legal action to shut down an illegally operating cryptocurrency trading platform that defrauded thousands of investors across the nation out of more than $1 million. In a lawsuit filed against Coinseed, Inc. — the owner and operator of a virtual currency trading platform — and its two top executives — founder and Chief Executive Officer Delgerdalai Davaasambuu and Chief Financial Officer Sukhbat Lkhagvadorj — Attorney General James seeks to stop Coinseed and the two individual defendants from further operating as unregistered commodities broker-dealers through their mobile application, as well as return investments of Coinseed’s worthless cryptocurrency, the CSD token. Millions around the country and the world today use cryptocurrencies as decentralized digital currencies — unlike real, regulated government currencies, including the U.S. dollar — to buy goods and services, often times anonymously, through secure online transactions. In today's lawsuit, Attorney General James alleges Coinseed and the individual defendants were unlawfully trading cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, without being a registered broker-dealer in New York, while simultaneously failing to disclose certain fees associated with the trading of virtual currencies on their investor’s behalf.

FIA Highlights CCP Margin Procyclicality Concerns To European Regulators

Date 17/02/2021

FIA today presented to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on the issues experienced in the spring of 2020 when high volatility and procyclicality of margin requirements were experienced in the global clearing system. During this period, the high number and the large size of margin calls drove demand for liquid assets, just as those assets were scarce due to market stresses. Such a drive for liquid assets can contribute to the stress in the financial system. FIA's presentation consisted of an analysis of data on margin requirements at several major derivatives clearinghouses, and it contained a set of recommendations aimed at mitigating the procyclicality of margin requirements. FIA first issued these recommendations in a white paper published in October 2020.
