    Stablecoins No ‘Safe Haven’ From US Monetary Policy, Says European Central Bank

    The European Central Bank (ECB) has challenged the idea that stablecoins are a “safe haven” for investors in times of market turmoil, finding they are actually highly impacted by U.S. monetary policy. The working paper examined the link between U.S. monetary policy, money market funds (MMFs), and stablecoins. “Monetary policy, in particular for the U.S. dollar, is the linchpin that connects crypto and traditional financial markets,” the authors concluded. The paper argued that stablecoins—which...

    Taiwan Crypto Firms Must Register by September 2025 or Face Two Years Jail Time

    Crypto businesses in Taiwan must register with the country’s financial regulator by the end of  September 2025, or potentially face up to two years' imprisonment. Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) said that all virtual asset service providers (VASPs) operating in the region must comply with the newest set of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, which were updated in July 2024. Companies that fall foul of the latest deadline could also face fines of up to roughly $155,000 (NT$5...

    Gemini Is the Latest Exchange to Leave Canada, Following Binance and OKX

    South Korea Reminds Crypto Scammers of Possible Life Sentence If Illicit Gains Exceed $4 Million

    South Korea’s financial regulator has warned it intends to enforce life sentences as punishment for crypto scams where the perpetrator makes over $4 million (5 billion Won). The news comes after the Virtual Asset Users Protection Act was enacted in July 2024 in the East Asian country, laying down a strict basket of measures to prevent crypto crime. Lawmakers said the bill was in part inspired by the actions of South Korean crypto founder Do Kwon and, later, the demise of the crypto exchange FTX....

    Canada Central Bank Shelves Its Digital Loonie CBDC Plans

    Canada’s central bank has shelved plans for a central bank digital currency (CBDC), which has been dubbed a “digital loonie,” after almost five years of research. A “loonie” is a common nickname for the Canadian dollar. The Bank of Canada first launched a research project to look into the creation of a digital Canadian dollar in 2019, which was then followed by a public consultation in 2022. In a research paper from early 2024, the central bank argued that the introduction of a CBDC could help C...

    U.S. Securities and Exchange (SEC) Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda have slammed the SEC over an "endless series of misguided and overreaching cases" in a recent statement.
