Ex-CSRC Official in Hot Water Over Cryptocurrency Bribery Case

Yao Qian, the former director of the science and technology supervision unit of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), is embroiled in a cryptocurrency bribery scandal. He is accused of taking bribes via cryptocurrencies. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) revealed that Yao ignored political ethics and posed as a financial tech expert, which made him a target for exploitation. During his time at the CSRC, he reportedly misused his position to help tech companies grow, cover personal expenses, and accept large bribes. The CCDI said he abused his authority to favor specific technology providers, facilitating business expansions and illegal transactions. Yao also directed personal expenses to organizations he oversaw, borrowed large sums of money unlawfully, and accepted exceptionally large bribes. His case prompts concerns about future cryptocurrency regulations in China.

Gary Wang Avoids Jail Time Through Cooperation with Prosecutors

Gary Wang, once FTX’s chief technology officer, dodged jail time after his role in the fraud orchestrated by Sam Bankman-Fried. Judge Lewis Kaplan sentenced him to three years of supervised release and required him to forfeit funds from his involvement. Wang testified in Bankman-Fried’s 2023 trial, which led to the latter’s fraud conviction. Prosecutors lauded Wang for his cooperation, stressing his proactive role in the investigation. They also acknowledged his significant contributions to developing fraud detection tools. This cooperation led to a recommendation for a more lenient sentencing outcome.

Trump’s Team Eyes First-Ever White House Position for Digital Assets

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is considering creating a White House role dedicated to digital assets. They are consulting with industry leaders to determine the necessity of this role.

On November 19, 2024, Trump met with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and former executive Brian Brooks to discuss industry issues. If created, this would be the first dedicated role in a U.S. administration focused on digital assets.

Analyst Ali Martinez predicts this outcome, citing a “bull flag” formation. This formation shows a sudden price increase followed by a consolidation period within a downward channel.
