See how Bybit’s $1.4 billion hack unfolded, from onchain movements to social media’s breakdown of the biggest crypto exploit in history.

Kaito AI’s $1B+ token launch is a game-changer, moving away from traditional venture capitalists (VCs) and instead using AI-driven reputation analysis to determine who gets tokens. Memoria’s similar approach on Avalanche further solidifies this shift in crypto fundraising. This new model could redefine access to capital and bring transparency, but it also raises concerns about its long-term sustainability. Instead of selling tokens to the highest bidder, AI analyzes factors like social history, governance participation, on-chain behavior, and "value alignment" to decide distribution. This aims to reward engaged and valuable community members rather than speculative investors. Unlike traditional opaque fundraising, these AI-powered token launches happen on the blockchain , making the process fully verifiable. Every decision is recorded, ensuring fairness and accountability. Token access is no longer dictated by wealth alone. Instead, an individual’s digital reputation and contribution to the ecosystem determine their eligibility, introducing a new form of financial meritocracy. With AI-driven fundraising, on-chain identity becomes crucial. The better a participant’s reputation, the more financial opportunities they get. This could incentivize long-term involvement over short-term speculation. Reputation replaces traditional collateral. Those who earn tokens must maintain their standing—dumping assets recklessly could permanently harm their access to future opportunities. Crypto projects that raised at high valuations in 2021 now face a challenge—returning to VCs would mean accepting steep valuation cuts. This new AI-driven model provides an alternative route: This could help projects avoid the stigma of down rounds, but it also raises ethical questions about whether retail investors are being strategically used. Does this AI-powered fundraising truly democratize crypto investment, or is it another way for insiders to offload risk onto retail investors? While it promotes engagement and transparency, key concerns remain: AI-powered token launches are rewriting the rules of crypto fundraising. By using reputation-based finance and AI-driven vetting, they introduce new possibilities for fairer access to capital. However, concerns over AI bias, investor protection, and project sustainability must be addressed. Whether this model represents the next evolution in crypto or a new way to shift risk remains to be seen—but one thing is certain: the fundraising game is changing.

The financial regulator also appears to be easing up or pausing its rafts of ongoing litigation against crypto companies. However, those with imminent deadlines may still be on the table. “I’m told by multiple legal sources that the SEC has been prioritizing cases with imminent court deadlines, which is one explanation for why we haven’t seen pause requests in the Ripple and Kraken cases,” reported Fox Business’s Eleanor Terrett on Feb. 19. Ripple’s next court deadline is April 16, Kraken’s is March 31, and the Binance case has been paused until April 1, she added. Terrett suggested that the agency could be waiting for the confirmation and placement of Paul Atkins as chair. “In the interim, the crypto task force, Congress, and the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets are presumably working to fill the regulatory gaps that led to these lawsuits being brought in the first place,” she said. NEW: On the @SECGov pausing ongoing litigation against #crypto firms — I’m told by multiple legal sources that the SEC has been prioritizing cases with imminent court deadlines, which is one explanation for why we haven’t seen pause requests in the @Ripple and @krakenfx cases.… — Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) February 19, 2025 Trump Rails on the SEC President Trump has pushed for deregulation of the crypto industry, arguing that it has been hindered by onerous regulations and excessive regulatory burdens. “So-called independent agencies like the SEC have exercised enormous power over the American people without Presidential oversight,” he said earlier this week. “These agencies issue rules and regulations that cost billions of dollars and implicate some of the most controversial policy matters. Now they will no longer impose rules on the American people without oversight or accountability,” This week, the SEC dropped its appeal in a significant legal case involving crypto regulation, specifically withdrawing from a battle over a rule that would have broadly expanded the definition of regulated securities dealers. Also this week, the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, posted a call to action on X seeking help from the public with “insights on finding and fixing waste, fraud, and abuse relating to the SEC,” in ongoing efforts to defang the regulator.

Please DM this account with insights on finding and fixing waste, fraud and abuse relating to the Securities and Exchange Commission. — DOGE SEC (@DOGE_SEC) February 17, 2025 New Crypto Crime Unit On Feb. 20, the SEC announced a new “Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit” with the aim of protecting retail investors. The downsized crypto enforcement unit has been restructured into a broader cyber fraud team led by SEC attorney Laura D’Allaird. It will have about 30 staff members and will focus on various forms of cyber-related fraud, including those involving social media, AI, and blockchain, according to the regulator. “Under Laura’s leadership, this new unit will complement the work of the Crypto Task Force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce,” said acting Chairman Mark Uyeda. This change signals a shift from the SEC’s previous aggressive stance on crypto under Gary Gensler, who had pursued hundreds of enforcement actions.
