🇺🇸SEC Rebuts 🏦 Coinbase's Attempt to Get Appeals Court to Answer Key Crypto Question
U.S. regulators said an appeals court shouldn't heed Coinbase's request to review how – or if – conventional securities rules apply to cryptocurrencies. Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange, filed for permission to ask the Second Circuit Court of Appeals if the Howey Test, a longstanding Supreme Court assessment for securities, should apply to digital assets. Coinbase hopes it doesn't. Coinbase hasn't successfully argued this is needed, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Friday.

A Telegram spokesman declined to comment on the bond issue or the amount of the debt the company has due. The spokesman said Telegram’s equipment and bandwidth costs are growing because it has consistently posted more than 40% year-to-year growth in users.
How Does Telegram Make Money?
Telegram is a free app and runs on donations. According to a blog on the telegram: We believe in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free. Pavel Durov, who shares our vision, supplied Telegram with a generous donation, so we have quite enough money for the time being. If Telegram runs out, we will introduce non-essential paid options to support the infrastructure and finance developer salaries. But making profits will never be an end-goal for Telegram.
