Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, stated that restricting passive index investing in Bitcoin at this time would be as outdated as restricting investment in oil and wells in the 1900s, in communications spectrum and cell towers in the 1980s, or in computing power and data centers in the 2000s. Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin has become a new generation of digital credit and value infrastructure, and hindering passive institutional allocation would run counter to historical innovation cycles.

Paxful Holdings Inc., the peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange that shut down in 2023, has agreed to plead guilty to three federal criminal charges and pay a $4 million criminal fine to the U.S. Department of Justice. FinCEN also issued a $3.5 million civil penalty on the same day, bringing the total penalties to $7.5 million. The Department of Justice stated that Paxful facilitated approximately $3 billion in transactions and earned over $29 million in revenue between 2017 and 2019, knowingly using its platform for fraud, extortion, money laundering, and illegal sex trafficking, and attracting illegal users by highlighting a "lack of anti-money laundering controls." Investigations revealed that Paxful provided transaction services to Backpage, an illegal sex trafficking platform that was shut down in 2018. Between 2015 and 2022, approximately $17 million worth of Bitcoin flowed from Paxful to Backpage and similar websites, generating at least $2.7 million in profits for Paxful. Its founding team even internally celebrated the so-called "Backpage effect." Paxful also processed suspicious transactions involving sanctioned countries such as Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela, totaling over $500 million, and consistently failed to submit required suspicious activity reports, while also misleading the public about its anti-money laundering measures. The Department of Justice stated that, based on sentencing guidelines, Paxful should have been fined $112.5 million, but considering its actual ability to pay and subsequent cooperation with the investigation, the final criminal fine was determined to be $4 million. The company will face final sentencing on February 10, 2026. Notably, Paxful co-founder and former CTO Artur Schaback pleaded guilty to the charges in July 2024. (Decrypt)

Gemini Space Station, Inc. (GEMI) has received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to operate as a **Designated Contract Market (DCM)**, officially entering the prediction market arena. Gemini announced that its new platform, Gemini Titan, will initially launch classic binary event contracts, allowing users to "bet on or against future events." Gemini stated that Titan is expected to further expand to other CFTC-regulated derivatives markets, including crypto futures, options, and perpetual contracts. Public information shows that Gemini initially submitted its DCM license application on March 10, 2020, but did not disclose details of its plans to build a prediction market at that time. The DCM is a regulatory framework for regular derivatives trading markets under the CFTC, applicable to the vast majority of regulated trading platforms. The prediction market sector is currently experiencing rapid growth. Kalshi and Polymarket saw rapid expansion during last year's U.S. election cycle and accelerated further after Trump's inauguration. According to data from The Block, both recorded their best trading volumes in October and November of this year, and are expected to continue their strong performance in December. (The Block)
