A Brazilian court has jailed three men for their involvement in a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme where they stole about $190 million. According to reports, the Brazilian court slammed a combined jail term of 170 years on the three men, underscoring the severity of the case. The men were accused of being the brains behind the Braiscompany scandal, using the platform to scam unsuspecting users. According to the prosecutors, the three men, Joel Ferreira de Souza, Gesana Rayane da Silva, and Victor Augusto Veronez de Souza, defrauded at least 20,000 investors. The scandal has become a big case where most people have been awaiting the outcome, primarily because it involves funds estimated to be around $190 million. According to prosecutors, the defendants promised unsuspecting victims unrealistic returns on Bitcoin investments, luring Brazilians into the deceptive pyramid scheme that has gained attention globally. A pyramid or Ponzi scheme is a type of investment where the operators usually float mouth-watering opportunities to users. This way, they recruit a lot of Brazilians looking for profits while paying the earlier ones with funds obtained from new investors. In some cases, the platform recruits users who act as advertisers, using several social media platforms to float the opportunities to people, with most of them going as far as developing intimate friendships and relationships with their potential victims before introducing them to the investment opportunities. In this case, the prosecutor mentioned that Ferreira de Souza was the principal of the Braiscompany scheme, noting that the platform operated under the guise of legitimacy to push the opportunity to the general public. The prosecutors allege that many people invested funds, with most in digital assets, believing that they were partaking in a life-changing venture. They mentioned that the platform targeted victims who were new to cryptocurrency, noting that the financial fallout from the scheme has been devastating for those who participated. In addition to the jail sentence, the court has ordered the defendants to repay about $6.2 million to investors, as the police continue efforts to recoup some of the stolen funds. This is not the first time the Brazilian investment platform is in the news, with the company making the news in 2021 after it filed a lawsuit against Suno Research, accusing the company of slander, libel, and defamation for attacking its brand. At the time, the research platform had accused the investment platform of being a financial pyramid scheme, a move that Braiscompany was against, noting that Suno Research made its claim without any shred of evidence. According to reports, the founder of Suno Research Tiago Reis claimed in a series of posts that the promise of making 10% to 15% per month from renting Bitcoin was the workings of a pyramid scheme. The Brazilian investment company, at the time, managed to get the court to mandate Suno to remove links to the articles and publications where they made the claims. Braiscompany was also turned around in court because Suno made an application in court, where it urged the judge to mandate the investment platform prove that it was not a pyramid scheme. “These brokerage notes are justified to demonstrate the percentages and amounts of transactions made with the clients’ capital and whether there is proof of payment for these, in the event of withdrawal, which can be certified under the terms of the expert evidence requested,” Suno claimed. Although Braiscompany tried to overturn the decision at the time, it was unsuccessful, with its lawyers noting that the case was about image violation and not whether the company was involved in illegal activities. The case also speaks to the need for vigilance in the crypto sector. The legal verdict also reflects the need to come up with stricter measures to protect investors. Local banks and financial institutions in Brazil are now offering crypto investments to users, drumming the importance of the need to safeguard consumer interest amidst the positive growth of the crypto market.

The Oregon Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Coinbase that echoes the SEC’s lawsuit from 2023. The lawsuit, just like the SEC’s prior suit, alleges that the cryptocurrency exchange operated as an unregistered securities platform and offered staking services without appropriate registration, according to Coinbase. This state-level action comes shortly after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its federal lawsuit against Coinbase in February 2025. Today the Oregon Attorney General is resurrecting the dead by bringing a copycat case of @SECGov 's enforcement action against Coinbase. As a reminder, the SEC dismissed that case with prejudice. This type of political jockeying is an embarrassing waste of Oregon taxpayer… The SEC’s case, initiated in June 2023, accused Coinbase of facilitating the trading of at least 13 crypto tokens deemed unregistered securities and operating an unregistered staking program. The dismissal marked a shift in federal regulatory approach under the Trump administration, which has expressed intentions to develop a more transparent and collaborative framework for digital assets. Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, criticized Oregon’s lawsuit as a “copycat” of the SEC’s previous action, asserting that it recycles arguments the federal agency has already abandoned. Grewal emphasized that such state-level actions could hinder ongoing bipartisan efforts in Congress to establish comprehensive federal legislation for digital assets. The SEC’s earlier dismissal of its case against Coinbase was part of a broader reevaluation of its enforcement strategies concerning cryptocurrencies. Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda announced the formation of a Crypto Task Force aimed at developing clear regulatory guidelines, moving away from the previous administration’s enforcement-centric approach. Despite the federal shift, Oregon’s lawsuit underscores the complexities of crypto regulation in the United States, where state and federal jurisdictions can diverge . Coinbase has pledged to contest the lawsuit vigorously, maintaining that its operations comply with existing laws and that the majority of digital assets should not be classified as securities.

ECB President Christine Lagarde is pushing for the digital Euro to become a reality by October 2025. A European central bank digital currency could soon become a reality. In a press conference on April 17, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde stated that the digital Euro could be launched by October 2025. Lagarde called the digital Euro, a CBDC to be issued by the EU’s central bank, “critically important” and “more imperative now than ever before.” The deadline for us is going to be October of ’25, and we are getting ready for that deadline. But we will not be able to move unless the other parties—the stakeholders, as I call them: Commission, Council, and Parliament—actually complete the legislative process, without which we will not be able to move. While the move has previously faced resistance from member countries, the project has the backing of key payment providers, banks, and fintech companies. These will likely be the biggest winners if the project takes effect. The digital Euro is a type of central bank digital currency that enables instant payments across its networks. While similar to cryptocurrencies, it has several important distinctions. For one, payments and wallets will be under the direct control and supervision of the ECB. This raises privacy concerns, but also ensures that the CBDC remains fully compliant with regulation. For this reason, banks will be able to use the digital Euro in all transactions. Notably, UniCredit’s CEO has already expressed support for the project and argued that banks should be fully involved in it. European fintech companies will also be the likely beneficiaries. For one, MONEI is already participating in the ECB’s testing of the digital Euro. The company argues that the payments users make will be faster and more secure. The system will also enable European fintech companies to tap into the digital payments market, where they have been lagging behind their U.S. counterparts.
