Wu Blockchain has learned that Kraken's parent company, Payward, disclosed it has obtained a $22 million arbitration award regarding auditing firm Mazars USA's withdrawal from its 2022 audit in 2023. Payward has filed for a final judgment in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Payward stated that Mazars' withdrawal was part of the regulatory and institutional pressure on the crypto industry in the U.S. at the time, and noted that certain banking regulatory measures and some policies have since been revoked or adjusted. Payward also urged the U.S. Congress to pass the CLARITY Act as soon as possible to establish a regulatory framework for the digital asset market, providing clear rules and registration pathways for the industry. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/kraken-parent-payward-22m-arbitration-vs-mazars-exit-64176
