期货和衍生品行业监管动态




                        These transactions were unlawful because they were required to take place on a
                   designated contract market, but did not. Additionally, by soliciting and accepting

                   orders for and entering into retail commodity transactions with customers, and

                   accepting money or property (or extending credit in lieu thereof) to margin these

                   transactions, bZeroX illegally operated as an unregistered FCM. bZeroX also failed to

                   adopt a customer identification program as part of a Bank Secrecy Act compliance

                   program, as required of FCMs. Bean and Kistner, who co-founded, co-owned and

                   controlled bZeroX, were held liable as controlling persons who knowingly induced

                   the underlying violations or failed to act in good faith.


                        As the order finds and as alleged in the complaint, on approximately August 23,

                   2021, bZeroX transferred control of the bZx Protocol to the bZx DAO, which

                   subsequently renamed itself and is currently doing business as the Ooki DAO. The

                   Ooki DAO operates the Ooki Protocol (formerly the bZx Protocol) in the exact same
                   manner as bZeroX and thus is continuing to violate the law in the same manner as

                   bZeroX. By transferring control to a DAO, bZeroX’s founders touted to bZeroX

                   community members the operations would be enforcement-proof—allowing the Ooki

                   DAO to violate the CEA and CFTC regulations with impunity, as alleged in the

                   federal court action. The order finds the DAO was an unincorporated association of

                   which Bean and Kistner were actively participating members and liable for the Ooki

                   DAO’s violations of the CEA and CFTC regulations.
