According to Cointelegraph, a U.S. federal judge dismissed most of the claims made by the Celsius litigation administrator against the blockchain analytics company Chainalysis, but allowed one to proceed.U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett of the Southern District of New York ruled on Tuesday, rejecting Chainalysis's request to dismiss the incitement charge, determining that the complaint sufficiently alleges that Chainalysis was aware that a press release issued by Celsius in 2020 contained false statements and assisted in disseminating that information.The court simultaneously dismissed 12 other claims with prejudice, prohibiting the plaintiffs from amending in this case; another 3 consumer protection claims were dismissed without prejudice, requiring the plaintiffs to amend or notify the court by October 20.The lawsuit was initiated by the Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium (BRIC), which acts as the litigation administrator and claims manager for Celsius's bankruptcy estate, representing Celsius and some former clients in asserting rights. Chainalysis declined to comment to Cointelegraph.The core of the case revolves around a $3.3 billion "audit." In 2020, Celsius used Chainalysis's Reactor software to calculate its managed asset size and publicly announced the results as an audit.According to the complaint outlined by the court, a Celsius executive initially calculated approximately $1.18 billion in assets using Reactor, which later increased to about $3.3 billion due to adjustments in methodology.

In a speech on Monday, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey criticized Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's stance on Bitcoin, calling him "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Healey stated that Farage wants the public to believe he is a representative of the common people, but on economic issues, he is simply "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Liz Truss is the UK's shortest-serving Prime Minister, widely criticized for her 2022 mini-budget driven by debt. Healey also mentioned that his party, the Labour Party, will help the UK lead through fiscal discipline, good jobs, and a strong industry.Farage has long been a political supporter of cryptocurrency, primarily viewing Bitcoin as a matter of personal freedom since 2020, and opposing state control over currency. He has stated that he was denied banking services by the UK private bank Coutts, which led him to take a greater interest in digital assets. Last year, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, he claimed that if elected Prime Minister, he would cut crypto capital gains tax and force the Bank of England to establish Bitcoin reserves.Farage has faced criticism this year for accepting donations from cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, including tech entrepreneur and Tether investor Christopher Harborne, as well as Ben Delo, one of the founders of the now-closed crypto exchange BitMEX. The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into reports of Reform violating overseas donation rules, with Reform denying any wrongdoing and stating that they will cooperate.

According to a report by ZDNet Korea on September 28, Samsung Electronics is accelerating the construction of the first mass production line (Ph1) at the Pyeongtaek Fifth Campus (P5) and is discussing with major equipment manufacturers to move the target for Ph1 equipment installation from the originally planned third quarter of next year to the second quarter of next year. P5 is the next-generation semiconductor production base aimed to be operational by 2028, and the construction of the Ph1 cleanroom began in the third quarter of this year.Samsung Electronics had previously advanced the completion of the P5 Ph1 cleanroom, originally scheduled for early next year, by about six months, so the equipment installation is expected around the third quarter of next year. Industry insiders say that the start time for equipment installation is planned to be moved up from July to August next year to around May to June next year; others have indicated that Samsung has even proposed to deliver equipment in the first quarter of next year for temporary storage at other locations, showing a strong willingness to invest early.Discussions on the investment for the second phase of P5 (Ph2) are also progressing. Currently, Ph1 is more likely to be built as a DRAM and HBM production line, while Ph2 is more likely to be built as an advanced NAND production line, including the tenth generation (V10). Equipment industry insiders say that formal purchase orders have not yet been placed, but Samsung has discussed building Ph2 as a NAND production line with partners, and due to the long equipment delivery cycle, they are requesting to prepare relevant components in advance. Reports indicate that large global tech companies are increasing orders for high-performance DRAM and NAND for AI infrastructure, while storage companies like Samsung have limited production capacity. Samsung stated during the second quarter earnings call in July that unmet demand this year will extend into next year, and the supply shortage next year will be more severe than this year, with shortages expected to continue until 2028.

The liquidator of the bankrupt cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius Network has sued BitMEX, accusing it of fraud and market manipulation during forced liquidations in March 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, seeking the return of 6,360 BTC, equivalent to approximately $495 million at current prices. The lawsuit was filed on September 12 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York by the litigation manager appointed in the Celsius bankruptcy case, Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium.The defendants include five entities: HDR Global Trading, ABS Global Trading, Shine Effort, 100x Holdings, and HDR Global Services, registered across Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Seychelles, and the United States. Celsius claims it lost 1,325.84 BTC during a liquidation on March 12, 2020, and is seeking to recover debts transferred by the investment fund JST, which lost 5,034.33 BTC the following day. The positions held by both could only be profitable when Bitcoin was rising or stable, and the lawsuit alleges that BitMEX simultaneously controlled the system that decided when customers were liquidated and the insurance fund that profited from the liquidations.The allegations have not yet been verified, and this is the second lawsuit BitMEX has faced since announcing its liquidation in July; the exchange will cease trading on September 23.

According to Cointelegraph, Bernstein analysts stated that after the failure of the CLARITY Act to pass the Senate procedural vote, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are expected to "actively and swiftly" advance the formulation of digital asset regulations to make up for the time spent on previous bill negotiations.Bernstein anticipates that the new regulations may cover token classifications for financing, protective measures for DeFi and self-custody protocol developers, exemptions for stock tokenization innovations, expedited approvals for perpetual contracts of real-world assets, and revisions to rules related to sports event contracts and their swap classifications. Relevant agencies may provide additional regulatory clarity for the industry through administrative rules.Analysts believe that the CLARITY Act could have reduced the risk of the regulatory framework being adjusted with changes in the political environment through legislation, but due to limited remaining legislative time and controversies over ethical provisions, the likelihood of the bill being voted on again is low.The SEC had previously proposed a new framework applicable to certain crypto asset investment contracts, intending to allow entities to issue tokens not exceeding $5 million within 4 years, or tokens not exceeding $75 million within 12 months, and set up safe harbor arrangements. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins had also stated that if Congress fails to pass the CLARITY Act, the agency has the ability to formulate digital asset rules on its own.
