比特币 ETF 流出量激增 340%，富达 FBTC 领先

KuCoin 与 MEXC 以及其他 12 家加密货币交易所因未经注册运营而被从韩国苹果应用商店下架。 根据韩国金融服务委员会 4 月 14 日的报告，应韩国金融情报部门的要求，苹果于 4 月 11 日开始在韩国金融情报部门的监督下阻止访问这些应用程序。 由于这些限制，新用户将无法再下载这些应用程序，而现有用户将无法收到未来的更新。据称，被封锁的交易所未能向当地政府注册，但仍在向韩国用户提供服务。 据金融情报部门称，这些平台通过提供韩语网站、开展本地营销活动以及支持韩元交易等方式在韩国有效开展业务，这些活动符合韩国国内运营标准。 根据韩国反洗钱法规，任何从事此类活动的外国加密货币运营商都必须向金融情报机构 (FIU) 登记。否则将被视为刑事犯罪，最高可判处五年监禁或 5000 万韩元（约合 35,200 美元）以下罚款。 上个月，金融情报机构表示正在积极封锁未注册的虚拟资产服务提供商，并限制其对韩国用户的访问。这不仅针对移动应用程序，还针对相关网站。 您可能还喜欢：苹果股价上涨，科技股和比特币因关税豁免而反弹 当局表示，这些限制旨在保护用户，并减少黑客攻击、数据泄露和资产滥用等威胁的风险。在没有监管的情况下，未经注册的交易所将构成严重风险，尤其是在消费者保护和金融安全方面。 金融情报机构还指出，这些平台通常不遵守用户保护措施，例如将客户资金与运营账户分开，这使得用户在发生欺诈、破产或服务中断时更容易遭受损失。在这种情况下，恢复的选择可能极其有限。 报告中的一段翻译摘录写道：“请用户通过上述网站核实自己正在交易的虚拟资产经营者是否为已申报的经营者，如为未申报的经营者，请采取提取自身虚拟资产等措施。” 苹果此举是继谷歌之后采取的类似行动，谷歌从 3 月 25 日起开始阻止访问 Play Store 上的 17 个未注册的加密货币交易应用程序。 在此背景下，韩国的加密货币采用率持续飙升。截至 3 月底，本地交易所用户数量已超过 1600 万，占全国人口的近 32%。 与此同时，一份报告显示，截至 3 月 27 日，超过五分之一的韩国公职人员持有数字资产。 阅读更多：Binance 通过与 Worldpay 达成协议整合 Apple Pay 和 Google Pay

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket—an idiom Tether seemingly takes to heart. In just two days this April, the stablecoin giant unveiled two major moves: teaming up with Bitfinex, SoftBank, and Cantor Fitzgerald to launch a Bitcoin-focused public company, Twenty One Capital, and increasing its ownership stake in Italian football club Juventus to over 10%. These announcements mark just the latest steps in Tether’s aggressive push to diversify beyond its flagship USDT stablecoin. This strategy could prove critical as regulatory pressure mounts across major markets. USDT Tether launched the USDT stablecoin in 2014. It soon became the biggest stablecoin issuer, while USDT grew into one of the five biggest cryptocurrencies in market cap. At one point, USDT was a leading token in terms of trading volume. At different times, it was accountable for 50% to 80% of all Bitcoin trades. Moreover, USDT plays a vital role in cryptocurrency onboarding, as many crypto exchanges don’t have fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat pairs. USDT is a USD substitute, providing a predictable trading instrument aligned with the USD value.  Companies also execute cross-border payments using USDT, which is backed by the U.S. Treasury bills. And Tether holds most of them. Last year, Tether bought $33.1 billion worth of the U.S. Treasury securities. It made the company the seventh biggest foreign net buyer, surpassing Mexico, Canada, Taiwan, and many other countries.  Tether was the 7th largest buyer of U.S. Treasuries in 2024, compared to Countries 🤯 pic.twitter.com/fEANUL3fb2— Paolo Ardoino 🤖 (@paoloardoino) March 20, 2025 Read more:El Salvador ends Bitcoin as legal tender — Here’s why it didn’t work Tether abroad Initially registered in the British Islands, Tether, as of January, moved its headquarters to El Salvador — the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Shortly after Tether relocated to El Salvador, the local Congress killed Bitcoin’s status as legal tender. Moreover, USDT remains a viable payment instrument for regions with low debit card penetration or for sanctioned jurisdictions. In Africa, USDT has a dual purpose: It serves as an asset for savings and as a remittance instrument. Countries like Russia and Iran use USDT, alongside other cryptocurrencies, in foreign trade to dodge sanctions. Still, Tether’s stablecoin is experiencing legal crash tests in real time. For instance, the refusal to follow the Markets in Crypto Assets law regulating crypto in the European Union resulted in the removal of USDT from Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, and Crypto.com for EU customers.  In addition, emerging crypto regulation in the U.S. may lead to a ban on USDT (President Trump’s cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial, plans to sell its own stablecoin). To mediate this problem, Tether is considering a new stablecoin that would align with new regulations. Legal scrutiny Last year, U.S. investigator alleged that Tether participated in money laundering and violation of sanctions. CEO Paolo Ardoino denies these accusations. “At Tether, we deal regularly and directly with law enforcement officials to help prevent rogue nations, terrorists and criminals from misusing USDt,” Ardoino wrote in October. “We would know if we are being investigated as the article falsely claimed. Based on that, we can confirm that the allegations in the article are unequivocally false.” See below.

However, the company has a lot more to offer than USDT, so business diversification may cushion these challenges. Other ventures In addition to stablecoins, Tether counts Bitcoin mining among its segments. For example, the company owns 21% of Bitdeer, mines crypto in Uruguay, and joined an effort to build a $1-billion Bitcoin mining farm in El Salvador called “Volcano Energy.” The major plans for expanding Bitcoin mining ventures were announced back in 2023 when Tether outlined that it was going to invest $500 million in Bitcoin mining, including a company, Northern Data AG, and building mining facilities in three countries. Tether holds a 20% stake in Northern Data after buying 10,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, chips popular among AI developers. These chips are rented out to AI startups. As of April, it’s not clear if the company followed this plan or took a different path. Tether also has interests in artificial intelligence, resulting in a strategic $200 million investment in brain-computer-interface Blackrock Neurotech. The company is one of the world’s neuro-prosthetic leaders, and Tether became its majority stakeholder.  Tether invested $775 million in Rumble, a video platform known for its far-right audience, and backs Fizen, a payment service and self-custody wallet company. It also launched Holepunch, which helps to develop software without the need for servers. Other projects talked about by Ardoino on social media that have yet to be adequately introduced include a tokenization platform and power kiosks in Africa with educational materials on cryptocurrency. So even if USDT faces a ban in multiple jurisdictions, Tether isn’t a one-trick pony, although critics warn that Tether’s use of customers’ funds to make these hefty investments may end badly. Ardoino, according to Forbes, sees it this way: “It’s good to have resilient money, but if you only have resilient money and everything else is centralized, it can be destroyed quickly. One of our mottos is ‘build for the apocalypse’.” Read more:Tether revenue nears $1.5 billion as Ethereum languishes below $200M

詹姆斯·豪威尔斯 (James Howells) 正在考虑购买一个公共垃圾填埋场，他声称那里可能埋藏着巨额比特币财富，但当地政府计划在法庭斗争后关闭该地点。 尽管上个月法院驳回了这一请求，早期的比特币 (BTC) 矿工詹姆斯·豪威尔斯 (James Howells) 仍考虑购买一个垃圾填埋场，他认为他丢失的加密货币就埋在那里，目前价值超过 6.2 亿英镑（7.68 亿美元）。 这位南威尔士纽波特的居民寻求法院下令挖掘该遗址，否则将向纽波特市议会获得 6.09 亿美元的赔偿。 豪威尔斯的指控围绕着一块硬盘，据称是他的前合伙人在 2013 年丢弃在垃圾填埋场的。据说，该设备包含 7,500 比特币，豪威尔斯在 2009 年开采了这些比特币，当时比特币才刚刚出现，交易价格仅为几美分。 该计算机工程师已多次提出申诉或起诉纽波特当局允许进入该地点，并向市议会提供部分财富作为回报。该垃圾填埋场包含超过 140 万吨废物，但豪威尔斯声称，他的填埋场可能埋在 10 万吨的区域内，并引用了他雇用的团队进行的调查。 你可能还喜欢：7.5 亿美元被扔进垃圾桶：法官拒绝男子从垃圾填埋场取回比特币 作为回应，纽波特市议会请求高等法院驳回豪威尔斯的诉求，称当地法律赋予政府对进入垃圾填埋场的任何财产的权利。法官 Andrew John Keyser KC 裁定豪威尔斯败诉，称他的诉求不充分，而且时间已经过去太久了。 当局还计划在 2025-2026 财政年度关闭该场址，并将其部分区域改造成太阳能发电场。 豪威尔斯在听到这一消息后向 BBC 表示震惊，“尤其是高等法院声称关闭垃圾填埋场以便我进行搜查将对纽波特人民产生巨大的不利影响，”他说。 据报道，豪威尔斯正在考虑将此案上报最高法院，并且不排除直接购买垃圾填埋场的可能性。他认为，如果比特币继续上涨，到 2026 年，损失的资金估值可能会达到 12 亿美元。 阅读更多：8000 比特币被埋在垃圾填埋场，以及其他丢失比特币的恐怖故事

白俄罗斯和俄罗斯正在协调数字货币整合计划，明斯克的目标是到 2026 年底全面推出数字卢布。 据白俄罗斯国家通讯社白俄罗斯通讯社（Belta）报道，白俄罗斯国家银行行长罗曼·戈洛夫琴科表示，白俄罗斯正准备在2026年下半年全面推出其央行数字货币。戈洛夫琴科表示，数字卢布是央行的优先事项之一，央行正在“积极推进其创建工作”。 数字卢布是我们的优先事项之一。我们正在积极致力于它的创建。首先，我们关注的是资金安全。我把这个问题称为资金的“染色”。对国家来说，能够追踪数字货币在整个链条上的流动情况至关重要。 罗曼·戈洛夫琴科 您可能还喜欢：俄罗斯财政部建议在 Tether 禁令后推出卢布稳定币 戈洛夫琴科表示，国家银行面临三大任务：首先，确定数字卢布平台应该是什么样子；其次，构建自主研发的软件来运行该平台；第三，制定平台如何运作和监督的规则和条例。 该计划是让企业在 2026 年开始使用数字卢布，随后在 2027 年让政府机构和个人开始使用。Golovchenko 还补充说，白俄罗斯央行看到了 CBDC 在跨境支付方面的巨大潜力，并表示该国正在与俄罗斯“密切合作”，俄罗斯也在朝着创建自己的数字卢布的方向努力。 4 月初，crypto.news 报道称，俄罗斯银行将其央行数字货币的全面推出推迟至 2026 年中期，理由是参与银行面临技术迁移问题。 阅读更多：调查显示30%的俄罗斯银行不愿支持CBDC的采用

链上加密货币侦探 ZachXBT 刚刚向加密货币社区发出警报，称 Chris Larsen 激活的 XRP 地址仍然持有价值 71.8 亿美元的 XRP。 ZachXBT 刚刚在其个人 Telegram 调查小组中发帖提醒其关注者，Ripple 联合创始人 Chris Larsen 激活的 Ripple (XRP) 地址仍持有超过 27 亿 XRP，价值约 71.8 亿美元。据 ZachXBT 称，其中几个地址已闲置 6-7 年。 ZachXBT 的提醒是在总统唐纳德·特朗普最近宣布 XRP 将与比特币 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH)、Solana (SOL) 和卡尔达诺 (ADA) 一起被纳入美国新的战略加密储备之后发布的。 你可能还喜欢：Bitcoin ETF selling cools off, but not thanks to Trump’s strategic crypto reserve, analysts say ZachXBT also pointed out that these addresses moved over $109 million worth of XRP to crypto exchanges, including Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Bybit, in Jan.
