Recap
The SEC determined that the ERC20 token exchange EtherDelta offered a platform to trade digital asset securities, without being registered as an exchange. For this reason, the founder of EtherDelta Zachary Coburn was charged and consequently paid a fine of almost $400,000.
Pure Bit, South Korean exchange, has disappeared pocketing more than $30 million worth of user funds. The exchange was funded with an ICO earlier this year, and it’s the second exit scam this month, the first one being MapleChange.
Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, is launching a new division called Binance Research, in order to provide “in-depth analysis and data-driven insights of digital assets.”
The Bitcoin Cash hard fork is scheduled for the 15th of November, but many exchanges are preparing to support the newly-forked currencies.
