The post Circle says it cannot reissue frozen USDC as it seeks dismissal of Wisconsin complaint appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Circle has asked a Wisconsin court to dismiss a criminal contempt complaint. It argues it lacks the technical ability to comply with an order requiring it to invalidate frozen USDC and issue replacement tokens to compensate an alleged fraud victim. The filing centers on the technical limits of USDC once it leaves Circle’s custody. While the stablecoin issuer says it can freeze tokens held in third-party wallets by blocklisting addresses, it argues it cannot seize, destroy, or reissue those tokens because it does not control the wallets’ private keys. Circle argues it complied with freeze order but could not reissue USDC The dispute stems from an alleged cryptocurrency scam in which a Wisconsin resident lost more than 381,000 USDC. It was lost after the stablecoins were transferred from Crypto.com to a wallet controlled by an alleged fraudster. Prosecutor
The post Kalshi’s court loss shows federal approval may still leave prediction markets fenced off by states appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A New York federal court has returned prediction-market access to state hands just weeks before the CFTC closes comments on national event-contract rules. In a July 7 opinion and order, Judge Analisa Torres of the Southern District of New York denied KalshiEX LLC’s request for a preliminary injunction to block New York gaming officials from enforcing state gambling law against its sports-event contracts while the case proceeds. The decision is preliminary. It leaves the merits open, but it rejects Kalshi’s bid for immediate relief on the argument that the Commodity Exchange Act preempts New York’s gambling laws as applied to those contracts. The access risk now has two tracks: whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission accepts event contracts at the federal level, and whether states can force platforms to block, limit, or redesign access
The post Bitcoin News: Satoshi Wallet Claims Face Fresh Doubts as Bitcoin Addresses Become Active appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Key Insights: Bitcoin news: Active BTC wallets weakened claims that dormant Bitcoin addresses were abandoned in court. Legal challenges mounted as experts disputed the lawsuit’s abandoned-property argument. Satoshi-linked wallets remained central as fresh on-chain activity reshaped the case. Bitcoin news continues to focus on the lawsuit seeking ownership of thousands of long-dormant Bitcoin wallets after new on-chain activity changed part of the case. The latest court filing removed 44 wallet addresses from the list of defendants after those addresses recorded new blockchain transactions. The move followed comments from Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn, who said every removed wallet had moved coins since the lawsuit was filed. The update has shifted attention toward whether long periods of inactivity alone can support claims that digital assets have bee
The post Kalshi loses New York court battle as Google bans prediction market extensions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Kalshi has lost another round in court. A federal judge has turned down the company’s request to stop New York from applying its gambling laws to the prediction markets platform. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan issued the ruling on Tuesday. She said Kalshi was not entitled to a preliminary injunction. She reasoned that the federal Commodity Exchange Act does not override New York’s gambling laws when it comes to Kalshi’s sports-event contracts. Torres said New York has strong reasons for its position. She pointed to the state’s goals of stopping gambling addiction, protecting the integrity of sports, and keeping unregulated contracts from spreading. Those interests, she wrote, “heavily” outweigh Kalshi’s arguments about federal law taking priority, and about customers running into what the company called “intractable” tech problems. “Kalshi has no
