SEC says DoJ to file charges vs Modesto OPC for investment solicitations

THE SECURITIES and Exchange Commission (SEC) said the Department of Justice (DoJ) will file criminal charges against Modesto Cardano Market Cap Tr3ding Services OPC, as well as its officials, for allegedly soliciting investments from the public without proper registration.

In a statement on Wednesday, the SEC said the DoJ found sufficient evidence to charge the Modesto OPC for possible violations of the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) and the Cybercrime Prevention Act.

The SEC’s Enforcement and Investor Protection Department (EIPD) began monitoring Modesto OPC in March 2024 after the company failed to submit hard copies of its articles of incorporation. A subsequent investigation found that the firm was promoting investments through social media. Its schemes reportedly included multiple plans such as compensation profit and expert options, promising guaranteed monthly returns of 10% to investors.

“The certifications issued by the…SEC show that respondent [Modesto OPC] is not a registered issuer of securities. It is not licensed or authorized to publicly offer or sell securities nor does it have any pending application for registration of securities,” the DoJ resolution read.

“Investment solicitation from the public, like the one performed here, is a form of securities issuance classified as investment contracts. Accordingly, it must be registered with the SEC before offering the same to the public,” it added.

The company’s sole stockholder, director, and president were also cited for potential violations of Sections 8 and 28 of the SRC, in relation to Section 6 of the Cybercrime Prevention Act. Under Sections 8 and 28 of the SRC, entities offering securities to the public must first secure registration and a secondary license from the SEC.

Modesto OPC did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

Inside Upexi’s SOL play: staking yield and locked token deals

The post Inside Upexi’s SOL play: staking yield and locked token deals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Upexi is the largest public company holding Solana tokens and uses a SOL strategy to build its holdings and generate additional revenue through staking. In an interview with crypto.news, Upexi CEO Allan Marshall explains why the company executed a large equity private placement to build a crypto treasury, citing MicroStrategy’s playbook and a more accommodating U.S. policy backdrop. Summary Upexi is the largest public holder of Solana, using equity raises to build a SOL treasury and earn staking yield. Upexi CEO Allan Marshall spoke with crypto.news in an interview. Corporate strategy focuses on accretive issuances, staking, and discounted locked SOL purchases, not venture investing. Upexi markets itself as a “new institutional gateway to Solana’s (SOL) speed, scale, and rapidly growing ecosystem.” But it isn’t alone, as it joins a handful of rival companies also building Solana treasuries, while dozens of other public entities are focusing on other coins. Speaking to crypto.news, Marshall discusses strategy and market perception. He notes that Upexi is focused on accretive capital raises, staking, and discounted, locked SOL purchases rather than venture investing. He also discusses how the company measures progress through an “adjusted SOL per share” metric designed to remove timing and leverage effects. We also discuss the company’s risk management strategies, which include a buy-and-hold approach, no hedging, disciplined use of leverage, and custody with qualified providers. The entire interview transcript is below: crypto.news: Upexi is now the largest corporate holder of Solana with over 2 million SOL in treasury. Why did you make such a dramatic shift now? Was there something specific that happened in the past few months that gave you the confidence to commit so heavily to a crypto treasury at this time? Allan Marshall: Upexi did the first large-scale equity private placement to create an altcoin treasury, and there were…
