U.S. CFTC fines EmpiresX founder $130 million for cryptocurrency fraud
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that a U.S. federal court has ordered the Brazilian founder of the illegal cryptocurrency investment platform EmpiresX to pay over $130 million in fines and restitution.
On February 4, U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga imposed a permanent injunction, economic penalties, and other legal actions against EmpiresX founders Emerson Pires, Flavio Goncalves, and their partner Joshua Nicholas.
According to court documents, Empires Consulting operated a fraudulent investment scheme called EmpiresX, which falsely promised high returns to investors. Pires and Goncalves are accused of obtaining at least $40 million from victims through false cryptocurrency advertisements.
Arthur Hayes published a blog post today stating that the Bitcoin strategic reserve policy is terrible, noting, "The fundamental problem with governments hoarding any asset is that they buy and sell assets primarily for political gain, not financial gain." This policy may change with shifts in the political landscape, altering Bitcoin's original trajectory.
Regarding the upcoming cryptocurrency legislation, Arthur Hayes also holds a pessimistic view: "Those building truly decentralized technologies and applications do not have enough financial resources to manipulate politics at this critical moment in the cycle. Therefore, the desire for cryptocurrency regulation may be realized, and if it does, it will manifest in overly complex and prescriptive forms that only large, wealthy centralized companies can afford."
Thus, Arthur Hayes still believes Bitcoin will retest the $70,000 to $75,000 range. Only if the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, Japan, and others print money in some form or enact specific legislation allowing permissionless cryptocurrency innovation can the current market conditions improve.

Sun Yuchen's 8 Years in the Crypto Space: A Tale of Two Cities
In recent years, Sun Yuchen has almost become the "last survivor" in the crypto space. Whether facing regulatory crackdowns, market crashes, or the downfall of crypto moguls, he has consistently navigated through it all, firmly standing at the center of the industry. Recently, his name has once again become a topic of discussion, still filled with drama.
Arthur Hayes' New Article: Beyond Bitcoin National Reserves, U.S. Crypto Hegemony Has Other Aims
The Pax Americana Make-A-Wish Corporation located at Mar-a-Lago hosts a large number of "wishers" daily. People in the cryptocurrency field, like others, line up trying to seize the opportunity to fulfill one or more wishes. This capricious "genie"—the master known as the "orange man"—holds "court" weekly in his private club, which combines country and nightclub styles in the swamps of South Florida, accompanied by classic pop songs from the 1980s, surrounded by a group of sycophantic followers.
The genie itself is neither good nor evil; what we truly need to judge is whether the wishes of the wishers are reasonable. Every culture in the world has moral stories about "wrong wishes," where those attempting to achieve success, wealth, or personal happiness through shortcuts often face unexpected consequences.
Beijing Youth Daily: Can "Digital Assets" Become a Major Asset Class Like Houses, Stocks, and Funds?
On February 5, 2025, Beijing Youth Daily prominently featured "digital assets" on the front page and a full-page report on A4. From the perspective of young people, the report covered the development of the "digital assets" industry, investment stories, and the participation of social forces.
The article explored whether "digital assets" have the potential to become a major asset class like houses, stocks, funds, and gold; it also mentioned that China's "digital asset" market is gradually building a circulation environment from the perspective of industry collaboration and autonomy, with the hope of forming a standardized market. Banks and large enterprises, such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Ant Group, and GCL-Poly Energy, have begun to venture into the digital asset field, releasing digital collectibles or launching RWA projects.
The various measures extensively mentioned by domestic media signify that the application of digital assets is gradually expanding, penetrating into broader industries and fields; it also suggests that the "wind direction" of domestic regulation may accelerate changes, and in the near future, more noteworthy opportunities may emerge in China.
