Nasdaq Delisting

Democracy Defenders Fund wrote to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in April demanding a probe of AI Financial Corp.’s August deal with World Liberty Financial.

History

Historical Context

During 2017 a surge of Ethereum-based ICOs inflated a crypto bubble that burst in early 2018, when Bitcoin slid roughly 65 % in a month. The SEC’s enforcement of securities laws on ICOs then compelled refunds and lawsuits, creating a regulatory baseline. Today, that oversight guides the SEC and Nasdaq as they scrutinize token offerings promoted by prominent figures.
