Crypto Case Tests SEC’s Ability to Police Blockchain Technology
A New York judge will soon address complex regulatory issues in the case involving Richard Heart, founder of the crypto token Hex. The SEC has accused Heart of selling unregistered securities and misusing investor funds to purchase luxury items, such as a $1.38 million Rolex and a 555-carat black diamond called “The Enigma.” Heart, based in Finland, is seeking dismissal of the SEC’s case, arguing that the SEC has overreached in its attempt to regulate global blockchain technology.
The case highlights the challenges of enforcing US securities laws on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and borderless crypto transactions. Heart and his supporters argue that technological innovations like Hex and the PulseChain blockchain cannot be defendants in such cases. This dispute underscores the evolving nature of blockchain technology and the difficulty regulators face in applying traditional legal concepts to these new digital assets.
The SEC has broadened its scrutiny of DeFi, with investigations and enforcement actions against various firms. However, the SEC’s approach of naming software and blockchain protocols as defendants raises concerns about developer liability and potential overreach. The outcome of this case could set significant precedents for how the US regulates the crypto industry.
Legal experts note that the SEC’s strategy might lead to developers being held accountable for the software they create, which could discourage innovation in the blockchain space. The case also raises jurisdictional questions, as Heart argues that US courts should not have authority over his actions, given his lack of direct ties to the US.
The resolution of this case could have broad implications for the regulation of decentralized and international crypto projects, as it tests the SEC’s ability to police a rapidly evolving and inherently global technology.

DNA Fund Acquires Coral Capital; Adds $50M AUM in Web3 & Emerging Tech
2024-DNA Fund, the Financial Institution of the future in high-ticket emerging tech and web3 investments, has announced its acquisition of Coral Capital Holdings LLC, an established investment management firm that has previously managed millions in the DNA founders’ personal funds.
As early-stage investors in established Web3 brands and founders of some of the sector’s most notable projects, DNA and its founders have invested in or founded projects such as Tether, EOS, Mastercoin, Bancor, and Hedera Hashgraph. The acquisition will see the DNA Fund manage an additional AUM of over $50 million, which includes Coral’s high-yielde hedge funds and venture funds focused on DeFi, Al, blockchain, and other emerging technology sectors. Some of Coral’s top-performing investments include Near Protocol and Atmos Labs.
Thomas L. McLaughlin, Coral’s Chief Investment Officer, will continue in his role, managing the funds with a unique focus and strategy aimed at maximizing investor returns.
Regarding the acquisition, Christopher Miglino, CEO of DNA Fund, said. “By bringing Coral Capital under our umbrella, we are not only expanding our investment capabilities but also enhancing our ability to offer unique, high-growth opportunities to our clients. Our combined expertise allows us to navigate the complexities of the digital asset landscape and continue delivering value to our investors.”
Thomas L. McLaughlin, CIO of Coral Capital Holdings, added, “Joining forces with DNA Fund is an exciting new chapter for Coral. Our shared vision for leveraging technology to drive financial growth is perfectly aligned. Together, we are set to redefine what’s possible in digital asset investments and deliver superior results for our investors.”
Since its inception in 2021, Coral has delivered consistent returns with innovative strategies, delivering high multiples on the benchmark of the overall market cap of digital assets. Coral’s Flagship fund, initially started as a market-neutral vehicle, was rebranded in 2023 as a discretionary liquid token, surviving a number of high-volatility events, including FTX and Terra.
With a 61.6% return (net of fees) and a maximum annual drawdown of only 11.6% in FY 2022. these funds have outperformed the broader digital asset market. Over a similar period, Bitcoin returned 36.7%.
Through this acquisition, DNA Fund also aims to capitalize on the growing interest from institutional investors and expand into several new verticals over the coming year, including a Bitcoin & Ether Yield Fund, as well as more speculative funds focused on Al, memecoins and microcaps.
