Odaily Planet Daily reports that Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky has filed a motion in New York court seeking to overturn his 12-year sentence for fraud and market manipulation.
Documents show that Mashinsky chose to represent himself (pro se) after his lawyer withdrew, stating that his lawyer 'stopped communicating with him,' forcing him to submit documents to the court personally. He argues that the previous defense had 'ineffective counsel' and invokes the 'fruit of the poisonous tree' doctrine, questioning the legality of some of the evidence in the case.
Mashinsky is still filing materials accusing Sam Bankman-Fried of attempting to 'destroy Celsius' and blaming the market manipulation of CEL tokens on FTX. Additionally, he publicly shared text messages with Celsius's former Chief Revenue Officer Roni Cohen-Pavon, claiming that the latter attempted to launch a 'hostile takeover' of the company.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins spoke at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum, stating that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is advancing the 'New Era of the SEC' regulatory reforms. The focus includes modernizing digital asset regulations, fostering on-chain capital market development, and supporting the U.S. to become the 'global crypto hub.'
Paul Atkins criticized the previous SEC's 'regulatory hostility' towards the digital asset industry, claiming that a lot of crypto innovations were forced to relocate overseas. He mentioned that under the support of the Trump administration, the SEC has launched 'Project Crypto' and is collaborating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to enhance on-chain market infrastructure and coordinate crypto regulations. The SEC has recently clarified which digital assets qualify as securities and which do not, while also advancing an innovative exemption mechanism for 'tokenized listed securities' and studying how on-chain trading systems can fit into the existing regulatory framework.
