BlockFi Settles With The US SEC:
SEC claims that it violated securities law through its interest account offering. It will pay a $100 million penalty, the largest yet incurred by a crypto firm. The company allowed users to earn a monthly interest payment on held cryptocurrencies and illegally operated as an investment company for 18 months. BlockFi will cease sales of its unregistered lending product and will release a new compliant lending product. The ruling may have serious implications for companies selling interest-bearing DeFi products.

Fidelity’s Director of Global Macro Jurrien Timmer says the blockchain “trilemma” of ensuring scalability, security, and scarcity doesn’t plague Bitcoin like it does newer blockchains such as Ethereum.
He added: “Bitcoin is the only asset class where you have both that supply scarcity and that exponentially growing demand. Ethereum has one but it doesn’t have the other although they’re certainly trying to go in that direction… that may be the direction where they’re going into now in terms of managing the supply growth but that doesn’t mean it won’t change in the future and of course, Bitcoin can’t be changed, it’s immutable.”
