Judge Orders Argentinian Soccer Association to Drop Binance Deal

argentinian

A judge has decided to stop the deal the Argentinian Soccer Association (AFA) signed last week with Binance, one of the leading exchanges in the cryptocurrency world. María José Gigy Traynor dictated a prohibitory injunction ordering the cancellation of all deals announced or signed with Binance, due to exclusivity contracts the AFA still has with Socios.com. The contracts include the issuance of a new fan token.

Argentinian Soccer Association Blocked in Binance Deal

The Argentinian Soccer Association (AFA) has been ordered to stop all the deals it had completed with Binance. María José Gigy Traynor, the judge that ordered the measure against the AFA, considered that there were previously signed agreements that would be in conflict with this new contract.

The sentence issued a prohibitory injunction to “preserve, while the main process is substantiated, the inalterability of a certain factual or legal situation existing prior to the conduct of one of the parties.”

This means that the new deal cannot be executed as long as there are other obligations with other parties. This includes previous contracts which involve naming and fan token launch partnerships, like the ones the association had previously signed with Socios.com, the party that sought this measure.

Socios.com Gets Results

The deal signed with fan-token issuer Socios.com last year included obligations that conflicted with the new deal announced with Binance last month. The Argentinian Soccer Association had already launched a fan token partnership with Socios.com. The recent Binance announcement caused confusion and frustration amongst holders of the first token, who took to social media to speak out.

The Argentinian Soccer Association (AFA) has not offered a direct comment on the order, or any actions it may take regarding the injunction. Socios.com, the party affected by the actions of the AFA, was relieved to receive this prohibitory injunction. In a press release commenting on the issue, Socios.com stated:

We welcome this decision from an independent justice system, which recognizes that our contracts remain in full effect, and we will continue to actively collaborate with Argentina’s justice system to defend the rights of $ARG Fan Token holders.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
