The chaos in the crypto market continues to prevail as the industry is trying to move ahead after the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. Interestingly, renowned crypto lender Nexo, which is facing troubles of its own, has filed a lawsuit against the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) the same week that Bulgarian authorities raided Nexo’s offices and indicted four people on charges of money laundering.

According to a document from January 12, the crypto lending company has sued CIMA for denying its registration as a virtual asset service provider (VASP) in the Cayman Islands. The crypto lender requested the court to reverse the financial regulator’s decision and argued that it was “suitable” to offer crypto services to citizens of the island nation.

In accordance with court documents, Nexo submitted an application to CIMA in January 2021 with updated information at the regulator’s request. However, the regulator claimed that Nexo had not disclosed “certain legal and regulatory matters as noted in the news media” and therefore demanded clarification on the application last October. Notably, the monetary authority denied the application in December last year.

“The Authority breached its constitutional and statutory duty to provide comprehensible, satisfactory and sufficiently detailed reasons for its Refusal Decision,” the crypto lender alleges.

Интересно, что компания Nexo из Софии, Болгария, находится под следствием за использование офшорных счетов для уклонения от уплаты налогов и отмывания денег с апреля 2021 года. Комиссия по финансовому надзору Болгарии (BFSC) впервые начала расследование в партнерстве с правоохранительными органами Болгарии, Соединенного Королевства. , и США.

Nexo отвергает все обвинения в неправомерных действиях, заявляя, что компания полностью соблюдает все соответствующие законы и правила.

Citing instances in UK courts, Nexo argued that CIMA had given “too much weight” to regulators’ plans to take enforcement action against the cryptocurrency lender. United States state-level agencies also issued приказы Nexo о прекращении противоправных действий в 2022 г., but Nexo claims in its lawsuit that this doesn’t indicate that the company acted improperly:

“[Nexo] had diligently cooperated with all US states and federal regulatory inquiries and has been proactive in maintaining dialogue with the respective regulators […] There have been some regulatory ambiguities with respect to the laws and regulations applicable to digital assets in the US such that the fact of the regulatory enforcement itself does not connote any improper behavior.”

Интересно, что соучредители крипто-кредитора Антоний Тренчев и Калин Методиев подтвердили, что он не является неплатежеспособным, добавив, что платформа не имеет связей с обанкротившимся крипто-хедж-фондом 3AC или экосистемой Terra.

Due to a lack of regulatory certainty, the lending company stated in December that it will gradually stop operating in the United States “over the coming months.” It is also crucial to note that the native token of the lending platform, NEXO, has dropped significantly over the past couple of months since its listing on the world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance.
