According to local media reports in Thailand, Thailand will require individuals to verify the source of funds when depositing more than 5 million Thai Baht (approximately 150,000 USD) in cash. This intervention expands the compliance responsibilities of commercial banks regarding cash networks, large currency exchanges, precious metal transactions, and suspicious stablecoin transactions, directly preventing regulated entities from fostering systemic corruption or a shadow economy.In addition, the Bank of Thailand and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have jointly conducted audits focusing on Tether (USDT) to identify and prevent illegal fund flows. This crackdown also includes strengthening controls over precious metal transactions, requiring banks to report suspicious patterns, such as rapid digital purchases and same-day physical withdrawals, to combat money laundering activities.

According to Bloomberg, the crypto bank Custodia Bank has submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting a review of its case regarding "being unlawfully denied access to the Federal Reserve payment system." Custodia applied for a master account access with the Kansas City Fed in 2020, but the Federal Reserve denied it in 2023 on the grounds that its "business model focuses on activities related to crypto assets."Custodia filed a lawsuit, but the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Federal Reserve's decision. In the petition, Custodia stated that the case raises "extremely important questions"—whether regional Federal Reserve banks can veto state bank charter decisions by denying access to central bank payment services.Custodia founder and CEO Caitlin Long stated that Wyoming has created a crypto-friendly environment through dozens of laws, but the Kansas City Fed chair "disagrees with Wyoming's policy choices." The Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case after the October recess.

According to Bits.media, a new draft bill submitted by the Russian government aims to grant the Financial Supervisory Authority the power to monitor all cryptocurrency transactions. For cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 60,000 rubles and foreign trade cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 1,000,000 rubles, the agency will collect complete information such as the full names or corporate names of the payer and payee, wallet addresses, actual addresses, birth dates, and taxpayer identification numbers. Transactions below 60,000 rubles only require the provision of names and wallet addresses.The bill also stipulates that the new limit for digital asset transactions by banks is 1% of the bank group's capital, and banks must hold corresponding funds to cover risks for the purchased cryptocurrencies. The central bank will be authorized to restrict or prohibit specific cryptocurrency operations when they threaten investor interests or may "undermine the stability of the financial system," with the scope extending from non-bank financial institutions to banks. The bill is expected to take effect simultaneously with the main cryptocurrency regulatory legislation, originally scheduled for implementation on July 1, but the review has been postponed. The first deputy governor recently stated that the relevant laws may take effect on September 1.

According to The Block, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a circular requiring licensed virtual asset trading platforms and internet brokers to stop using one-time passwords (OTP) for user login and device binding within 12 months, and instead adopt stronger authentication methods such as passkeys and device binding.This move is due to the fact that in the 2025 Hong Kong cybersecurity incident, phishing attacks accounted for as much as 57%. The SFC also requires institutions to establish monitoring systems for suspicious logins, transactions, and withdrawals, and to promptly notify customers of any unusual account activities. Large brokers must implement the new authentication measures immediately. The SFC emphasizes that if internal controls are found to be deficient and result in customer losses, relevant responsibilities will be pursued.

According to Bitcoin.com, a U.S. federal court has rejected CoinFlip and Private IT Corporation's request for an emergency temporary restraining order against the cryptocurrency ATM ban in Tennessee, which took effect on July 1. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to meet the legal standards for an emergency injunction, stating that although the businesses demonstrated they would suffer economic losses, it was not sufficient to outweigh the public interest represented by the state legislation.Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti stated that cryptocurrency ATMs are "tools for scammers targeting vulnerable residents, rarely used in any scenario approaching a legitimate purpose." The law classifies the installation or operation of cryptocurrency ATMs as a Class A misdemeanor. Tennessee, Indiana, and Vermont have fully banned cryptocurrency ATMs, Delaware is considering a similar ban, and North Carolina and Virginia have enacted stricter regulations. The constitutional challenge in the case will continue to progress, and the final ruling will determine whether the ban can be sustained in the long term.

According to The Block, Cash App's parent company Block has agreed to pay $45 million to settle with regulatory agencies in nearly 50 states in the U.S. over allegations of misleading security promotions and insufficient anti-fraud measures.

Under the settlement agreement, Block must improve customer support services, provide 24-hour live customer service, and cease related promotions regarding Cash App's security. Block denies any wrongdoing, stating that the settlement involves previously disclosed legacy issues.

According to Bits.media, the Financial Market Committee of the Russian State Duma has approved the final version of the government's cryptocurrency regulation bill, which will be submitted for a second reading. Committee Chairman Anatoly Aksakov revealed that the second reading version made several key adjustments: the requirement to mandatory declare cryptocurrency wallet addresses has been removed, and instead, only balances and transaction flows need to be declared to protect residents from the risk of sensitive information leakage; a new amendment allows for the legal purchase of securities in the securities market and Russian digital financial assets using cryptocurrency.In the future, it may be allowed for Russian licensed brokers and asset managers to trade on foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, but they must meet additional requirements such as the "friendliness" of the jurisdiction. For non-professional investors, the annual limit through a single intermediary is set at 300,000 rubles, and it is limited to "the most liquid cryptocurrencies." The bill also introduces a two-day freeze on large transfers to foreign and third parties. Aksakov did not clarify whether the proposal to prohibit Russians from using non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets would be retained.

Buch stated, "The ECB calls on all significant institutions to immediately assess the impact of the evolving threat landscape and develop comprehensive action plans outlining specific measures to strengthen relevant controls." ECB President Christine Lagarde warned last month that artificial intelligence could lead to a financial crisis and stated that bank CEOs need to ensure they are prepared and recognize that countermeasures require substantial investment. The ECB has conducted cyber attack tests under severe scenarios on 109 banks, and most of the vulnerabilities identified have been addressed.

The mining equipment will be deployed in overseas regions with competitive electricity costs, including Oman and Paraguay, and will adopt an overseas custody and joint operation model.

According to CryptoQuant data, the capital efficiency of Bitcoin in each bull market cycle is significantly decreasing. In the 2011 cycle, approximately $2.8 billion in net inflows drove a rise of about 55,000%; in 2015, about $69 billion corresponded to nearly 10,000%; in 2018, about $365 billion corresponded to about 2,000%; and in this cycle since 2022, about $697 billion has only produced a 689% return.In 2011, about $5 million in new funds could double the price of Bitcoin, while this cycle requires about $101 billion. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that this means Bitcoin needs to become a core macro asset rather than just a retail-driven ETF trade. The next parabolic market needs to attract over $1 trillion in new funds, far exceeding the current level of institutional adoption. However, this argument faces real challenges: the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has seen record outflows in the past month, Bitcoin ended the first half of the year at a loss, and retail funds are withdrawing rather than institutional funds accelerating inflows.
