According to the Korea Herald, Korea Investment & Securities is jointly promoting a plan with OKX to acquire approximately 20% of Coinone's shares, with both parties planning to acquire about 20%, primarily through the issuance of new shares. This investment is mainly financial and is expected not to involve a change in management rights. However, there are opinions in the industry that OKX may seek to participate in management and gain substantial influence in the future, which would make it the second case of a large foreign exchange attempting to control the management rights of a Korean original currency exchange after Binance's acquisition of Gopax.Currently, the main shareholders of Coinone are: The One Group holds 34.30%, Com2uS Holdings holds 21.95%, founder and CEO Cha Myung-hoon holds 19.14%, and Com2uS Plus holds 16.47%.

According to Money Today, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea will announce detailed rules for tokenized securities in July, preparing for implementation in February next year. The country's financial authorities will allow the issuance of fragmented investment securities by bundling various underlying assets and will develop a roadmap for the tokenization of traditional securities such as stocks and bonds.The Financial Services Commission stated that previously it was prohibited to bundle underlying assets for the issuance of fragmented securities, but now it plans to allow bundling of similar assets within a certain scope. The Commission emphasized that market order and investor protection are fundamental prerequisites, but regulation will not be the primary focus. The annual investment limit for fragmented investment securities issuance platforms is set at 10 million to 20 million Korean won, with crowdfunding limited to 5 million won per project, totaling 10 million won. The annual selling limit for over-the-counter trading of non-listed stocks is 300 million won, while for investment contract securities in over-the-counter trading, it is 40 million won.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, a report released by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike shows that losses from cryptocurrency assets caused by North Korean hackers and threat actors exceeded $2 billion in 2025, a 51% increase year-on-year, despite a decrease in the number of attacks. CrowdStrike stated that North Korean hackers are the largest threat organization targeting cryptocurrency users, and the stolen funds are almost certainly used to finance the regime's military programs.Attackers prioritize high-value targets, mainly focusing on Web3 projects and cryptocurrency exchanges, as stolen funds are easier to cash out and transfer anonymously. In April of this year, the Ethereum Foundation identified 100 North Korean hackers, and the Drift Protocol was infiltrated by North Korean tech workers, resulting in a loss of $280 million, with these threat actors establishing face-to-face relationships through third-party intermediaries.

I take full responsibility for this."Additionally, on Thursday, Judge Lewis Kaplan of the same court ordered that $10 million in assets associated with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried be used to fulfill his forfeiture agreement.

PANews' in-depth analysis article points out that, in the context of accelerating global cryptocurrency regulation, compliance capability is becoming a key watershed in the competition among CEXs. Trading platforms represented by Gate are strengthening their competitiveness in the mainstream financial system by continuously expanding their global licensing network.Specifically, Gate is promoting its compliance layout through its various operational entities: Gate US achieves compliant operations in 46 jurisdictions by holding 35 state-level MTL licenses in the United States; leveraging the Cyprus CySEC license, MiCA license, and Payment Institution (PI) license, it is deeply developing business in multiple regions in Europe; Gate Japan is entering the highly regulated Japanese market with the FSA license; it is tapping into the rapidly growing Middle Eastern market with the Dubai VARA license; at the same time, it has completed its layout in the Australian market through AUSTRAC registration.The article notes that compared to some platforms that focus on advancing in a single region, Gate prefers to promote its global compliance layout by establishing entities in multiple locations and directly applying for licenses. Although this path takes longer and incurs higher costs, it helps enhance long-term compliance credibility and diversify risks associated with a single jurisdiction. As global regulation enters the enforcement phase in 2026, the industry's model of "expanding first, complying later" is gradually retreating, and compliance is transforming from a cost item into a core asset, becoming a key threshold for platforms to participate in mainstream market competition.

According to Times Brasil, the decision-making committee of the administrative sanctions procedure under the Central Bank of Brazil imposed a fine of approximately $3.15 million on Banco Topázio and prohibited it from conducting over-the-counter foreign exchange business for virtual asset trading for the next two years.Regulators stated that Banco Topázio had deficiencies in customer qualification review, customer registration, and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing controls while handling approximately $1.7 billion in related business from October 2020 to September 2021, and failed to report unusual transactions to Coaf. Officials from the Central Bank of Brazil indicated that similar restrictions may also apply to other institutions involved in cryptocurrency business in the future.

In April, the CPI in the United States increased by 3.8% year-on-year, reaching a new high since May 2023, exceeding the market expectation of 3.7%. Previously, on May 8, Bank of America economists stated in a report to clients that due to inflationary pressures remaining above expectations and robust job growth, they have abandoned their earlier predictions of rate cuts in September and October this year, postponing the first rate cut to the second half of 2027.The previous view was based on the expectation that Trump would nominate Kevin Warsh to replace Powell as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, leading to a more accommodative policy. However, with changes in the economic situation, this view has shifted. The report mentioned, "We no longer expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates this year." They also pointed out that multiple shock factors affecting the economy, including the war in Iran, tariffs, and the rise of artificial intelligence, have made predicting interest rate changes more difficult.

Movement announced that it has completed the acquisition of the on-chain Vault infrastructure project Canopy, further integrating key financial infrastructure within the Movement Network. Canopy has previously been an important part of the Movement ecosystem, primarily responsible for building the Vault layer on the Movement Network, with its smart contracts allowing users to allocate assets and strategize on-chain with independent strategy managers.After this acquisition, Canopy will collaborate more closely with the on-chain credit protocol MovePosition, and Movement is gradually building a complete on-chain financial infrastructure stack covering modules such as Vault, credit, and yield strategies. Movement stated that most public chain ecosystems still rely on third parties to provide core financial primitives, while Movement hopes to achieve deeper technical collaboration between Vault contracts and other components of the network through self-built and internally integrated methods.For developers, this means they can directly integrate core protocols that are continuously iterating; for partners, it means stronger consistency between the underlying infrastructure and the development team; for users, it is expected to provide a more unified on-chain financial product experience. The official also revealed that MovePosition and Canopy will gradually operate as a unified infrastructure, with more integration details to be announced in the coming weeks.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Bond Company CEO Pierre Rochard stated that the current fourth bear market of Bitcoin has significantly decoupled from past cycles and is performing stronger. In the previous cycles, the maximum drawdown was about 85% from 2013-2015, nearly 77% from 2017-2018 and 2021-2022, while this round has dropped from a historical high of about $126,000 to around $60,000, with a maximum drawdown of only about 52%.Rochard believes that this resilience mainly comes from two new demands: the cumulative net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs exceeding $59 billion, and continuous purchases by corporate treasuries (such as Strategy holding over 818,000 BTC). These institutional demands did not exist during the bear markets of 2018 and 2022.Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, also stated that the current market is no longer the same environment as in 2022, and the view that "Bitcoin will break out of the bear flag pattern and bottom in October 2026" may be the most crowded trading expectation.
