According to Decrypt, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has released an implementation update for the Digital Financial Assets Law (DFAL), which clearly requires all individuals or companies providing cryptocurrency-related services to California residents to hold a DFAL license, submit a license application, or meet exemption criteria by July 1, 2026, or face enforcement actions.The DFAL was signed into effect by California Governor Gavin Newsom in October 2023, establishing a statewide licensing and regulatory framework for cryptocurrency assets, covering various digital asset services and cryptocurrency ATM terminals. This system is widely compared to New York's BitLicense introduced in 2015.According to the schedule, DFAL license applications will open on March 9, 2026, through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). Regulators recommend that businesses review the checklist in advance and participate in the industry training on March 23.California accounts for about a quarter of all blockchain companies in the United States. Joe Ciccolo, Executive Director of the California Blockchain Advocacy Coalition (CBAC), stated that since California is the fourth-largest economy in the world, its regulatory path may drive companies to unify compliance standards nationwide. "Clear and predictable rules help attract serious operators and institutional capital," but he also warned that if enforcement is too aggressive or disconnected from industry realities, some companies may choose to exit the California market or move overseas.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with four local district attorneys in the state, recently sent a letter to several Democratic lawmakers criticizing the "GENIUS Stablecoin Act," which was signed into law by Trump last year, for significant flaws in consumer protection, particularly its failure to require stablecoin issuers to return stolen funds in the event of theft.The letter specifically names Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC), arguing that the two major stablecoin issuers can still earn interest on related assets after funds are stolen, while victims lack effective recourse. New York prosecutors pointed out that although the act grants stablecoins greater "legitimacy endorsement," it does not simultaneously strengthen key regulatory requirements such as anti-terror financing, anti-money laundering, and prevention of crypto fraud. The GENIUS Act is currently entering the implementation phase, requiring stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. dollars or highly liquid assets and mandating annual audits for issuers with a market capitalization exceeding $50 billion. However, New York prosecutors believe these measures are still insufficient to address the widespread use of stablecoins in illegal fund transfers.According to Chainalysis data, approximately 84% of illegal crypto transaction volume will involve stablecoins by 2025, prompting New York to call for further strengthening of the regulatory framework to better protect consumer rights.
