CEX

CEXs are platforms managed by centralized organizations that facilitate the trading of cryptocurrencies, offering high liquidity and user-friendly fiat on-ramps. Leaders like Binance, OKX, and Coinbase serve as the primary gateways for institutional and retail entry. In 2026, the industry focus is on Proof of Reserves (PoR), enhanced regulatory compliance, and hybrid models that offer self-custody options.

Crypto Founder Ordered to Pay $228 Million over Fake AI Ponzi Scheme

Crypto Founder Ordered to Pay $228 Million over Fake AI Ponzi Scheme

The post Crypto Founder Ordered to Pay $228 Million over Fake AI Ponzi Scheme appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EminiFX founder Eddy Alexandre just lost a court battle over his fake AI exchange scam and must pay $228 million to his creditors. This represents the climax of a two-year legal battle. Several of EminiFX’s tactics are still notorious in 2025. He used fake promises of AI to lure investors, targeting NYC’s immigrant populations. Both these methods are in use today. EminiFX’s Fake AI Scam Crypto crime may be at an epidemic level right now, but major frauds from the past also tend to pop back up. Two years ago, EminiFX founder Eddy Alexandre was sentenced to prison for commodities fraud. Today, the CFTC won another victory over EminiFX, ordering Alexandre to pay a massive fine for the scam: “The CFTC seeks restitution on behalf of EminiFX’s investors in the amount of $228,576,962, which is the amount of money contributed to the company by EminiFX investors minus withdrawals. Simply put, EminiFX was a Ponzi scheme, and investors’ decisions to give their money to Defendants were predicated entirely on fraudulent misrepresentations,” the court order read. EminiFX was ostensibly a CEX and forex business, but its real scam proved somewhat ahead of its time. Alexandre claimed that the platform used a sophisticated AI protocol to double investor yields. In reality, the business was a Ponzi scheme, using future investments to keep early adopters on the hook. A Scheme Ahead of Its Time Several of EminiFX’s scam tactics are much more common now. In 2025, AI-powered tools are enabling many scams, with AI-generated code used to drain wallets and sophisticated deepfakes facilitating social engineering. Alexandre used the promise of AI as a confidence scam, but the technology wasn’t a core component. Apparently, he didn’t use AI at all, spending investor money on personal bills and risky trades that lost $49 million. Additionally, EminiFX…

4 Tokens Below $10 That Could Deliver Bitcoin Level Returns for Long-Term Wealth Creation

4 Tokens Below $10 That Could Deliver Bitcoin Level Returns for Long-Term Wealth Creation

The post 4 Tokens Below $10 That Could Deliver Bitcoin Level Returns for Long-Term Wealth Creation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin has been the benchmark for crypto wealth creation, but its current six-figure price makes it inaccessible for many retail investors seeking high-multiple gains. The good news? Several promising altcoins still trade under $10, yet can potentially deliver Bitcoin-like returns in the long run. Here are four tokens under $10 currently in the spotlight: Ripple (XRP): Institutional adoption is accelerating, legal clarity is secured, and an ETF is potentially brewing. Sui (SUI): DeFi innovation and major bank custody deals signal mainstream integration. Tron (TRX): Dominates stablecoin transactions with record network activity and DeFi growth. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Coin with Big-League Ambitions Little Pepe is proving that meme coins can be more than speculative jokes. In Stage 10 of its presale, the project has already raised over $18.5 million and sold 11.3 billion tokens, each priced at $0.0019, up 90% from Stage 1. The token launches at $0.003 with a projected $300 million market cap. What sets LILPEPE apart is its sniper-bot-proof Layer 2 blockchain, the first of its kind in the meme space, ensuring fair trading for every participant. Coupled with zero buy/sell tax and a dedicated meme coin launchpad, the project blends humor with serious technical infrastructure. The team has also achieved notable milestones before launch: The listing on CoinMarketCap provides instant visibility to millions of traders. The CertiK audit is completed. The smart contract security is verified. Top-tier CEX listings are confirmed, with plans for the largest exchange already in motion. Token vesting is investor-friendly: 0% at TGE, a 3-month cliff, then 5% monthly, reducing dump risk and building long-term trust. Given the presale momentum, meme virality, and utility-driven roadmap, a rally toward $0.4 in a strong bull cycle is feasible, a potential 21,000%+ gain from current prices. Ripple (XRP): The Institutional Payment Powerhouse XRP has…

Ulu Ventures Lists Pi Network Among its Portfolio Companies Amid Struggling Price Action

Ulu Ventures Lists Pi Network Among its Portfolio Companies Amid Struggling Price Action

The post Ulu Ventures Lists Pi Network Among its Portfolio Companies Amid Struggling Price Action appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ulu Ventures, one of the three early seed investors in Pi Network in 2023, has added Pi Network to its portfolio companies. While the PI coin has been struggling recently, this move could offer a major boost for the price. But, technical and on-chain indicators point to a grim picture for PI.  Ulu Ventures Adds Pi Network to Its Portfolio Companies According to a recent post on X, crypto analyst Dr Altcoin observed that Ulu Ventures has added Pi Network to its list of portfolio companies. The firm joined Pi’s seed round back in 2023 alongside other two firms; 137 Ventures and Designer Fund.  While the addition of Pi Network to its portfolio companies serves as formal recognition for the project, the move serves as much needed institutional backing. Pi coin has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons lately as the price dipped to an all-time low. But the addition to Ulu Ventures’ companies portfolio underscores that institutional investors still believe in the project.  The move could reignite confidence amongst Pi investors, known as Pioneers, giving Pi coin’s price a major boost, alongside the recent launch of Pi Network Hackathon aimed at enhancing network utility. Pi Coin Faces Bearish Pressure Despite the recent institutional backing by Ulu Ventures, Pi coin’s price has continued to struggle. As per the data by Coingecko, Pi Network (PI) price is currently at $0.3489. While this level marks close to 1% dip on the day, Pi has dipped over 10% over the last 7 days and 22% over the last month, confirming the price struggle.  Source: Coingecko | Pi Coin Price Pi coin also reached an all-time low price of $0.33515 two weeks ago, with the current price only sitting 3.9% above the all-time low price. This adds to the bearish pressure as…

Elon Musk has paused plans to launch the America Party

Elon Musk has paused plans to launch the America Party

The post Elon Musk has paused plans to launch the America Party appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Elon Musk is pulling away from his plans to launch a new political party, just weeks after telling his 200 million X followers that the America Party would be his answer to a broken two-party system. According to Wall Street Journal, Elon has started telling people close to him that he doesn’t want to risk upsetting high-ranking Republicans by splitting the conservative vote, especially not with Donald Trump back in the White House and JD Vance positioned as his likely successor. In private conversations, Elon admitted that going ahead with the party would strain his relationship with Vance, now the vice president. He’s stayed in touch with Vance in recent weeks and has even floated the idea of backing him financially if he runs in 2028. Elon dumped nearly $300 million into Republican campaigns in 2024, and people familiar with the conversations allegedly say he plans to do the same for Vance. Elon backs out of calls and sidelines political party effort In late July, Elon canceled a scheduled call with a group that specializes in getting third parties off the ground, and the Journal said his team told participants the meeting was scrapped because Elon wanted to keep his focus on his companies. That meeting would’ve helped the new party figure out how to get on the ballot in critical states. But instead of following through, Elon and his team stopped reaching out to key organizers and advisers. Even some of his closest political allies from the 2024 election cycle haven’t had any conversations with him about building a new party. Many of those same advisers had helped Elon funnel money into Trump’s re-election campaign through his America PAC, which spent heavily in swing states like Pennsylvania. Republican consultants warned that if those same people were seen helping Elon…
