X Internet Unlimited Company and X Corp have filed a lawsuit in the UK High Court against Bitcoin influencers Vivek Kumar Sen and Zamyang Sherpa. The lawsuit, initiated on September 17, alleges that these individuals manipulated engagement metrics to fraudulently obtain at least £207,384 from the Creator Revenue Sharing Program. The implications of this case could lead to stricter regulations on influencer marketing within the cryptocurrency space, as outlined in the tweet by WuBlockchain.
Amid a wave of scrutiny on social media practices, X Corp’s legal action against these Bitcoin influencers highlights growing concerns over engagement manipulation. The lawsuit claims that multiple accounts were coordinated to publish identical content, artificially boosting engagement metrics and violating platform rules. This case underscores the potential risks influencers face as the crypto industry grapples with transparency and authenticity issues.
The broader cryptocurrency market remains mixed, with varying momentum across major assets. As this lawsuit unfolds, traders and market participants are paying close attention to the potential implications for influencer marketing in the crypto space. The scrutiny surrounding engagement practices may influence how influencers operate, impacting their credibility and the community’s perception of Bitcoin investments.
X Internet Unlimited Company and X Corp oversee a range of social media platforms that have become critical to cryptocurrency marketing. Their jurisdiction allows them to enforce rules regarding engagement metrics and content authenticity, making this lawsuit a significant legal precedent for influencer practices in the crypto sector.

The potential for increased regulatory scrutiny may lead to more transparent practices, affecting community sentiment around Bitcoin.

ZetaChain tokenholders have approved a plan to wind down the project’s layer-1 blockchain and migrate its native ZETA token to Solana. Governance proposal 68 passed Sunday with 99.4% support and 58% participation, exceeding the network’s 40% quorum requirement. Under the proposal, ZETA will become an SPL token on Solana through a 1:1 conversion, with the same ticker and total supply. According to the proposal, the vote does not immediately trigger ZetaChain’s shutdown or migration. Core contributors will submit a second proposal detailing the withdrawal window for assets linked to other blockchains, snapshot block height, shutdown timetable, token claim process and exchange conversion period. Validators will continue operating and staking rewards will continue during the transition.ZetaChain said running its own Cosmos SDK-based layer 1 no longer supports its focus on Anuma, its private-focused artificial intelligence application. The project said moving to Solana would allow it to redirect resources from blockchain maintenance to Anuma and its Private Memory Layer, which lets users carry encrypted context across AI models.ZetaChain was founded in 2021 as an interoperability-focused project designed to connect assets and data across different blockchains. In 2023, it raised $27 million from investors including Blockchain.com, Jane Street Capital, Human Capital and Sky9 Capital to develop its layer-1 network.Crypto projects wind down standalone chains Other projects, including BounceBit and Harmony, have also announced plans to shut down their standalone blockchains.In August, BounceBit opted to retire its standalone blockchain after an authorization flaw was exploited to steal about $3 million in BB tokens. The project migrated its token to BNB Smart Chain at a 1:1 ratio instead of restarting its layer 1. On Sept. 6, Harmony proposed shutting down its layer-1 and migrating its native ONE token to Ethereum as an ERC-20, as part of a proposed pivot to an AI video initiative. The proposal came weeks after an exploit created unauthorized ONE tokens and led Harmony to plan a rollback of more than 109,000 transactions.

The project later acknowledged that it had dismissed an earlier bug bounty report about the vulnerability as intended behavior, prompting a review of its security processes.Magazine: Who needs CLARITY anyway?
