According to The Block, the European Union has officially launched a public assessment and consultation on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), evaluating the framework's applicability in the context of the rapid evolution of digital assets, and is open for industry and public feedback until August 31.This assessment covers the core regulatory framework of MiCA, including key regulatory areas such as crypto asset issuance, asset-referenced tokens (ART), electronic money tokens (EMT), and crypto asset service providers (CASP). The EU's consultation is divided into two paths: an open call for public opinions and a technical consultation aimed at financial institutions, regulators, and industry organizations.The European Commission stated that this move is driven by the ongoing evolution of the global digital asset market and the competitive pressure brought about by the rapid advancement of crypto regulation in the U.S. and Asia. Meanwhile, the transitional period for MiCA will end in July 2026, at which point crypto companies will need to obtain full compliance authorization.Recently, Zerohash has become the first company to simultaneously obtain both the MiCA CASP license and the Dutch electronic money institution license, and Poland has just passed its local MiCA implementation bill. The head of Coinbase's European policy stated that MiCA has established early global standards but should undergo "targeted optimization" to balance regulatory safety and international competitiveness.The European Commission also supports centralizing the regulatory authority over large cross-border crypto institutions to ESMA to strengthen the unified regulatory framework.

According to Cointelegraph, the South Korean crypto industry group DAXA (Digital Asset Exchange Alliance), representing 27 registered virtual asset service providers (VASP), has submitted objections to the Financial Services Commission (FSC) and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) regarding the proposed amendments to the implementation order of the Specific Financial Information Act.The new regulations aim to require domestic VASPs to report any virtual asset transfers with foreign VASPs as suspicious transaction reports (STR) if the amount reaches 10 million won (approximately $6,800), regardless of the risk level. DAXA warned that this would cause the annual reporting volume of South Korea's five major trading platforms (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) to surge from about 63,000 last year to over 5.4 million, making compliance practically impossible.The industry also opposes the proposed requirement to verify the accuracy of customer information, arguing that the subordinate rules impose obligations not clearly defined by law. This industry backlash comes as exchanges face sanctions from financial regulators in court. On April 9, the court ruled to lift part of the business suspension against Upbit operator Dunamu, but the regulators have appealed. On April 30, the court suspended the six-month partial business suspension against Bithumb. Coinone also received a temporary stay of execution.The public consultation period for the new regulations ends on May 11, and it is expected to be finalized in July after regulatory and legal reviews. This highlights the tension between South Korea's tightening of crypto anti-money laundering regulations and the industry's concerns about excessive compliance burdens.

On the X platform, "on-chain detective" ZachXBT pointed out that certain law firms in the United States are using their investigative work and on-chain forensic results to help victims of hacking incidents file legal claims, but this practice may actually affect the victims' ability to receive compensation or recover funds.In previous hacking incidents involving the Lazarus Group, these law firms typically intervene only after their on-chain fund tracking or freezing is completed, and propose follow-up legal actions that are weakly related to the crypto incidents themselves. They have also employed similar strategies for "free-riding claims" in incidents involving Harmony, Bybit, and others. ZachXBT also called for the crypto community to establish a DAO to resist such behavior.
