Coinbase tumbles after SEC warns of securities violations

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:18:28 GMT

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN (AP Business Writer)Shares of Coinbase tumbled 15% Thursday after the cryptocurrency trading platform received a warning from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it could face securities charges.The cryptocurrency trading platform said in an SEC filing late Wednesday that it had received a Wells Notice from the agency, which indicates that regulators believe laws protecting investors were violated. Among the practices being targeted by the SEC is “staking,” which is “Coinbase Earn” by the company. Users of trading platforms can stake their cryptocurrency, essentially locking up some of their assets, in exchange for payment later, much like earning interest rates in a savings account. Those assets are used by platforms like Coinbase Global Inc. to guarantee other transactions taking place on the blockchain. The SEC says Coinbase and other platforms must register as a securities platform to offer such services, and only after it is a...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:18:28 GMT

From the moment the Miami Heat signed Jimmy Butler to his four-year, $184 million extension in August 2021, the question was how the contract, one that carries him through his 38th birthday, would age.So far, particularly at the moment, the answer is to perfection.And for more than the 35 points he scored in Wednesday night’s 127-120 victory over the New York Knicks at Miami-Dade Arena.It was yet another moment of Butler meeting the moment amid the Heat’s scramble for Eastern Conference playoff seeding, with an arguably even more meaningful moment at hand Saturday against the visiting Brooklyn Nets, a game that could allow the Heat to move into No. 6 in the conference,“I mean, honestly, it’s really winning time right now,” Butler said.Wednesday marked the ninth consecutive game Butler scored 20 or more, tying his longest streak since joining the Heat in the 2019 offseason. Over those nine games, he is averaging 28.5 points. Further, in his 15 games sinc...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:18:28 GMT

By HILLEL ITALIE (AP National Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Attempted book bans and restrictions at school and public libraries continue to surge, setting a record in 2022, according to a new report from the American Library Association released Thursday.More than 1,200 challenges were compiled by the association in 2022, nearly double the then-record total from 2021 and by far the most since the ALA began keeping data 20 years ago.“I’ve never seen anything like this,” says Deborah Caldwell-Stone, who directs the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. “The last two years have been exhausting, frightening, outrage inducing.”Thursday’s report not only documents the growing number of challenges, but also their changing nature. A few years ago, complaints usually arose with parents and other community members and referred to an individual book. Now, the requests are often for multiple removals, and organized by national groups such as the conservative Moms for Liberty, which has a mission of “...

Stocks rise to recover much of steep loss from day before

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:18:28 GMT

By STAN CHOE (AP Business Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are rising Thursday to recover much of their steep loss from a day before, when markets tumbled into the close. The S&P 500 was 1% higher in early trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 231 points, or 0.7%, at 32,261, as of 9:45 a.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 1.4% higher. A day earlier, stocks fell sharply after the Federal Reserve indicated that while the end may be near for its market-rattling hikes to interest rates, it still doesn’t expect to cut rates this year. Markets lost momentum after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that, along with an insistence that it could keep raising rates if inflation stays high. But traders on Thursday were still largely betting the Fed will cut rates later this year. Such cuts can act like steroids for markets, juicing prices for stocks, bonds and other investments. They would relax the pressure on the economy, but they could also give inflation more...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 09:18:28 GMT

WEEI producer Chris Curtis has been suspended following his comment about ESPN’s Mina Kimes, apologizing on Thursday for his “stupid lame attempt at a joke.”Curtis has been facing heat since he called Kimes a “nip” during a recent segment on The Greg Hill Show. The sports talk radio show hosts were discussing their favorite alcohol nips, as the Boston City Council explores whether the city should ban the small liquor bottles.The word “nip” is an ethnic slur against Japanese people, and Kimes is Asian-American.Curtis at the start of Thursday’s show said he meant to say the actress Mila Kunis instead of Kimes.“In a pathetic failed attempt at a one-liner, I attempted to bring up Mila Kunis, which was not really that funny, sophomoric and sexist,” Curtis said. “But for reasons I don’t understand, I said Mina Kimes.“That was never the intention for me to say her name,” he added. “It had nothing to d...
