Rumors of Lagarde's early departure raise concerns about the ECB successor and the prospects of the digital euro

According to market news, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde is considering stepping down before her term ends in October 2027, so that French President Macron and German Chancellor Merz can reach an agreement on her successor before the French elections in April 2027.A spokesperson for the European Central Bank later responded that Lagarde is "fully focused on her mission and has not made any decisions regarding the end of her term." Lagarde's potential early departure comes at a critical time for the advancement of the digital euro by the European Central Bank. Under her leadership, the European Central Bank has been continuously advancing the preparations for the digital euro and has repeatedly emphasized the need to manage the risks of private digital currencies such as stablecoins within the framework of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.Lagarde herself has long held a critical stance towards cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, describing them as "highly speculative," "worthless," and "not backed by any underlying assets." If there is a change in the leadership of the European Central Bank, it could affect the institution's communication focus and priorities regarding the digital euro, stablecoin regulation, and crypto-related payment arrangements, although the overall regulatory direction has already been established at the EU level.

A network engineer was accused of stealing funds from a gambling website, and police in two locations have successively filed cases and seized 183 bitcoins

Shenzhen IT man Li Dong (pseudonym) has been targeted by the police from Hunan and Henan provinces. A large amount of Bitcoin was found in his virtual currency wallet. The public security organs of Zhangjiajie City in Hunan and Changge City in Henan have both filed investigations against Li Dong, with the charge of "operating a casino." The Zhangjiajie police seized over 100 Bitcoins from Li Dong's account, converting them into more than 40 million yuan; the Henan police seized 80 Bitcoins from him, with a market value exceeding 40 million yuan.Later, Li Dong was not charged with "operating a casino." He was prosecuted by the Changge City People's Procuratorate in Henan for suspected theft and infringement of citizens' personal information. In January 2026, the case was publicly heard in the Changge City Court. After the court adjourned, it stated that a new hearing would be scheduled. Li Dong, born in the 1980s, is a network information security engineer, having studied information security in college. He has worked in network security technology for several well-known internet companies and later settled in Shenzhen, where he started and operated an internet company in recent years.According to his family, Li Dong began trading stocks and cryptocurrencies around 2016 and acquired some Bitcoins. However, the police later investigated and believed that the source of his Bitcoins was from another "channel." In September 2024, the Hunan Zhangjiajie Public Security Bureau summoned Li Dong on suspicion of "operating a casino." It turned out that in May of that year, the Zhangjiajie police launched an investigation into an online gambling case based on "anonymous reports," and Li Dong was listed as a suspect. The Zhangjiajie police seized 103 Bitcoins from Li Dong's digital wallet, converting them into over 49.61 million yuan. Soon after, Li Dong was released on bail. On the seizure decision and the bail release document, the charge against Li Dong changed from "operating a casino" to "illegally obtaining data from computer information systems."
