美国财政部对与俄罗斯 Garantex 相关的加密地址实施了制裁，这是其针对胡塞武装及其融资行动的最新行动。 美国财政部外国资产控制办公室已对胡塞外国恐怖组织用于资助武器采购和逃避制裁等活动的八个加密货币地址实施了制裁。 区块链取证公司 Chainalysis 和 TRM Labs 的数据显示，监管机构批准了主流服务的六个私人钱包地址和两个存款地址，这些地址转移了近 10 亿美元的非法交易。这些交易主要是为了支持该组织在也门和红海地区的活动。 链上转账数据显示，胡塞武装通过俄罗斯交易所 Garantex 转移了超过 4500 万美元，该交易所因提供恐怖主义融资而遭到 OFAC 的警告。 你可能还喜欢：OFAC 指定伊朗管理比特币和门罗币地址的暗网市场 3 月初，Tether 将近 3000 万美元的稳定币列入黑名单后不久，Garantex 宣布关闭。两周后，印度警方根据新德里帕蒂亚拉众议院法院发出的逮捕令逮捕了 Garantex 联合创始人 Aleksej Besciokov。然而，后来有多个报道称，Garantex 并未完全被颠覆，在将资金和用户转移到新平台后，它实际上以新名称 Grinex 重新出现。 TRM Labs 表示，链上分析显示“数百万美元的交易流向其他高风险和 OFAC 制裁的实体”，其中包括 Garantex 和 Sa'id al-Jamal，后者是一家隶属于胡塞武装和伊斯兰革命卫队圣城军的伊朗金融协助者。 今年 1 月底，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将也门胡塞武装（正式名称为“安萨尔真主”）重新指定为外国恐怖组织，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥表示，胡塞武装的活动“威胁到美国在中东平民和人员的安全、我们最亲密的地区伙伴的安全以及全球海上贸易的稳定”。 阅读更多：OFAC 瞄准与真主党有关的加密货币金融家，以切断伊朗恐怖主义资金来源

Donald Trump’s meme coin is once again making headlines as the top 220 holders await news on whether they’ve secured an invitation to dine with the former president. Launched just days before Trump’s January inauguration, the Solana-based token initially surged to $75 before falling to around $12.32. But the promise of exclusive perks, including a gala dinner and private VIP reception on May 22 at Trump’s country club, has renewed attention — and controversy. According to the Trump-affiliated website GetTrumpMemes.com, winners are selected based on “time-weighted” holdings between April 23 and May 12.  The top 220 wallets represent $160 million in time-weighted holdings, with Seychelles-based exchange HTX, linked to advisor Justin Sun, topping the leaderboard with $18 million. The total market cap of $TRUMP (TRUMP) sits at $2.74 billion, with entities tied to the Trump family controlling 80% of the remaining supply. Since launch, these entities have earned over $320 million in fees. You might also like:Bitcoin dips below $103k as Glassnode points to profit takers Another Trump coin? Rumors circulated on May 12 that Truth Social, owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, was launching a new meme coin, similar to the official Trump coin.  The launch would follow the introduction of TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins in January, both of which saw significant price drops after initial surges. While the Trump Organization claims the former president’s assets are in a trust managed by his children, critics say the project poses ethical concerns. Senator Chris Murphy called the coin “the single most corrupt act ever committed by a president,” citing the potential for anonymous foreign donors to buy influence. Recent data shows that while large investors have profited over $1.5 billion — $48 million since the dinner announcement, around 600,000 wallets have collectively lost $3.87 billion, many buying on secondary markets.

Circle 的全球政策主管 Dante Disparte 认为加密领域需要以类似欧洲 MiCA 的框架形式提供更加清晰的监管。 4 月 8 日，在巴黎区块链周与 TRM Labs 全球政策主管 Ari Redbord 的炉边谈话中，Disparte 强调了明确的监管对于帮助更多投资者、金融机构和利益相关者进入加密领域的重要性。 “这项法规很有效。如果国际投资者不仅愿意在法国投资，而且愿意从 MICA 提供的法律和监管清晰度中获益，那么这将创造一个法律确定性的环境，”Disparte 说道。 因此，他认为欧洲最有可能通过其加密资产监管市场或 MiCA 框架“明确全球可移植的互联网货币和金融服务的含义”。 事实上，Circle（USDC）代表表示，他的团队一直在努力倡导美国的两项稳定币法案，即《GENIUS法案》和《STABLE法案》，以达到MiCA能够为欧洲市场提供的法律清晰度水平。 Disparte 表示：“当你将它们结合起来，你就得到了一个稳定的天才。一个可以升级到 MiCA 的框架，这样我们就可以实现跨大西洋的协调和监管互惠，而不是在美国和欧洲伙伴关系之间制造一场逐底竞争。” 你可能还喜欢：GENIUS 法案制定稳定币规则，Circle 庆祝：Tether 的合规难题才刚刚开始？ 此外，Disparte 表示，Circle 支持欧洲监管机构将符合 MiCA 标准的稳定币等同于电子货币代币的决定，该框架禁止代币为持有稳定币的客户产生收益。 “我们同意。我们认为对稳定币的兴趣是二级市场的创新。如果你希望创新能够按规定发挥作用，如果你希望商品清单能够按规定发挥作用，它必须是一个计量单位、一种交换媒介和一种价值储存手段，就像实物美元或实物欧元一样，”Disparte 说。 2023 年 6 月推出的 MiCA 稳定币法为加密货币公司和稳定币发行人制定了严格的监管和标准，其中之一就是禁止提供稳定币利息或收益。 因此，如果 Tether (USDT) 和 Circle 等稳定币发行商希望继续在欧洲地区运营，就必须调整运营方式，遵守 MiCA 法规。2024 年 7 月，Circle 成为第一家获得法国监管机构颁发的电子货币机构许可证的稳定币公司，允许他们在整个欧洲销售符合 MiCA 法规的稳定币。 阅读更多：Circle 通过 MiCA 获得欧洲首个稳定币许可证

South Korea’s People Power Party announced seven major law changes to improve their virtual asset ecosystem. One of them is a plan to launch spot Bitcoin ETF within this year. According to a report by local media Edaily, the People’s Power Party announced trading for digital asset spot ETF will be permitted this year. For the first time, traders in the country will be able invest in exchange-traded funds linked to major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Representative Park Soo-min said its about time South Korea allowed for crypto-backed ETFs in the market, considering other countries like the U.S., Hong Kong, and the U.K. have already taken the lead. “Hong Kong and the U.K. have also approved spot ETF trading in succession. Korea has no time to delay,” said Park. The decision is part of a series of regulatory changes proposed by the ruling party to accelerate the crypto industry in the country. Starting from the second quarter of this year, companies will be able to trade in digital assets.

Another major breakthrough is the abolishment of the “One Crypto Exchange, One Bank” policy. Under the policy, crypto exchanges in South Korea are only allowed to be tethered to one bank at a time. It was done to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and to detect suspicion transaction. However, the South Korean government realized that this policy is extremely restrictive for crypto exchanges that wish to establish partnerships with multiple banks. In addition, the People Power Party also announced the creation of a token securities STO bill, which would include a stablecoin regulation system that meets global standards, basic laws for improving digital assets, and establishment of a new taxation system for crypto. “We will not allow the authorities’ outdated regulations to hinder the growth of virtual assets that can help finance grow,” said Rep. Park. In order to implement these changes, the Party wants to form a special committee on virtual assets directly under the People Power Party presidential candidate. The committee plans to take the lead in institutionalizing virtual assets, creating a foundation for industrial innovation within the crypto landscape. According to a recent report by Hana Bank, young South Korean investors are leaning towards crypto investments. Not only that, the data showed that more than 30% of South Korea’s wealthy investors prefer crypto for long-term investments, outpacing interest in gold or property.
