first_img Chief Legal Advisor of the U.S. SEC's Cryptocurrency Working Group Elaborates on the Path for Cryptocurrency Custody Rules

According to CoinDesk, Taylor Lindman, the Chief Legal Counsel of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Crypto Working Group, stated at the CoinDesk Policy & Regulation event held in Washington that the SEC is advancing rules for the custody of crypto assets. The relevant proposal has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, covering investment companies and broker-dealers. She indicated that the rule aims to inform the market about how to hold non-securities crypto assets within broker-dealers without special registration and clarifies that investment advisors can store client assets in institutions such as state-chartered trusts.Once the proposal passes the review by the Office of Management and Budget, the SEC will formally present it and seek feedback from the industry and the public. Lindman also mentioned that the SEC will issue an employee statement in December 2025 as a transitional arrangement, guiding broker-dealers on handling crypto custody matters before the rules are implemented, and will allow investment advisors to store client assets in state-chartered trusts as qualified crypto custodians starting in September 2025.Lindman described the SEC's recent work as "laying the groundwork," including previously proposed rules allowing crypto issuance and exemptions for tokenized securities. She stated that the SEC is working to ensure that existing securities intermediaries and market participants can confidently use blockchain to hold and trade crypto assets. Previously, the SEC's attempts at custody rules under Gary Gensler in 2023 were abandoned, and a leadership supportive of crypto was appointed after the Trump administration took office.

Korean fintech company Kakao Pay and internet bank KakaoBank have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with cryptocurrency infrastructure provider Fireblocks to jointly explore digital asset opportunities, including stablecoins. According to the agreement, both parties will conduct proof-of-concept testing for digital asset infrastructure that meets South Korean regulatory, security, and service requirements, aiming to build a secure on-chain infrastructure for the country's emerging digital asset market. The announcement did not disclose specific timelines for launch, investment, or implementation.Kakao Pay primarily focuses on mobile payments and financial services, while KakaoBank is one of the largest internet banks in South Korea, both belonging to the Kakao ecosystem. Fireblocks stated that it provides digital asset infrastructure for over 2,500 institutions, including more than 100 banks. This collaboration follows another partnership between Kakao Group and stablecoin issuer Circle, where the two signed an MoU in July this year to explore blockchain-based payment infrastructure and digital asset technology, and to study opportunities surrounding the Korean won stablecoin and related services.As South Korea gradually improves its digital asset regulatory framework, Kakao Pay and KakaoBank are among many Korean financial and tech companies exploring stablecoin opportunities. In May this year, KB Financial Group completed a pilot for a Korean won stablecoin covering issuance, offline merchant payments, and cross-border remittances; in July, fintech company Toss collaborated with Optimism and Sunnyside Labs to conduct a proof of concept for Korean won-based stablecoin payment infrastructure.

first_img Court documents show that Microsoft employees questioned whether the AI scraping system constitutes "the largest labor theft in history."

According to Decrypt, court documents unsealed in the lawsuit between The New York Times and OpenAI and Microsoft show that Microsoft employees discussed whether OpenAI's use of news articles to train its models constituted "the largest labor theft in human history," and could potentially trigger a "doom loop" that leads to a decline in model quality. A 2023 internal Microsoft memo warned that millions of people worldwide would soon view the large model's "consumption" of their works as "an unprecedented and astonishing theft," and stated that large AI models are "products that destroy their own supply chains."Microsoft stated in the documents that these memos were written by Director of Applied Science Brent Hecht and do not represent the company's views, as his role is to provide "different and asymmetric perspectives." Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella testified that "any content behind a paywall should be authorized by those who wish to use it," and stated that if he had known in advance that OpenAI was using paid content for training, he would have exercised Microsoft's rights to demand that the model be retrained.Additionally, an OpenAI employee had mentioned to President Greg Brockman the construction of "hacker methods" to bypass The New York Times paywall, to which Brockman replied, "Nice." Both OpenAI and Microsoft argue that the relevant training falls under fair use. The case was initiated by The New York Times at the end of 2023, and 11 publishers have since joined the lawsuit.
