U.S. SEC Releases FAQ on Crypto Asset Activities, Including Rules for Brokers and ETPs
According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released a FAQ regarding crypto asset activities and distributed ledger technology.
It clarifies that brokers holding non-securities crypto assets are not subject to the holding and control requirements of Rule 15c3-3 and are not protected by SIPA; net capital treatment for Bitcoin and Ethereum applies to crypto asset spot ETPs.
Commissioner Hester M. Peirce stated that the FAQ provides preliminary guidance for the market but still needs further improvement.
According to Hongxing News, Sichuan police released 10 typical cases of economic crimes, including the "2 • 6" illegal operation (foreign exchange) case. In this case, since August 2021, Fan, He, Chen, and others set up studios and technology consulting companies in Chengdu, using social networking software to target customers for directed traffic, colluding with domestic agents of foreign exchange institutions, and providing illegal cross-border RMB exchange services through cashing out foreign gift cards and virtual currency matching, involving a total amount of over 3.9 billion yuan. A total of 21 criminal suspects were successfully arrested, and the investigation was concluded and transferred for prosecution in December 2024.

Zhao Changpeng Releases Security Tips to Prevent Phishing Attacks
Zhao Changpeng released several security tips to prevent phishing attacks:
Never disclose your password to anyone claiming to be "customer service"; real customer service will never ask users for their passwords.
Do not click on links received in emails; log into your account by manually entering the website or through bookmarks. Before entering any password, make sure to triple-check that the website is not a phishing site.
Do not use the same password across multiple sites. Use a password manager to set a unique and strong password for each site, and the password manager will not match your passwords on phishing site domains.
Use hardware two-factor authentication (2FA) devices like Yubikey, which can prevent most phishing attacks.
Wisconsin Sells BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Worth Over $300 Million

The document shows that as of the end of March, the board no longer holds any IBIT shares. The investment board has not completely exited crypto-related investments, as the document shows it still holds approximately $19 million in Coinbase stock. Previously, the agency had completely liquidated its position in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). Notably, the BlackRock IBIT fund recently set a record for 20 consecutive days of net inflows, with over $5 billion in inflows.
