suspension

Hardware wallet dealer CryptoBilis announced that, due to Ledger investigating a case involving fund losses for Southeast Asian users, the company has suspended all sales and shipments of Ledger devices and is cooperating with Ledger's investigation. Ledger previously stated that it is investigating reports of fund losses from Southeast Asian users who purchased products from this dealer, and as a precaution, has requested CryptoBilis to suspend the sales and shipments of related devices, advising users who purchased devices in the past 90 days not to set them up if they have not completed initialization.CryptoBilis reminds users who have completed setup to follow Ledger's advice and transfer their assets to a new Ledger signing device generated with a new mnemonic phrase. It emphasizes that the mnemonic phrase must be generated by the device during initialization and handwritten by the user; if the device comes with a pre-printed or written mnemonic card or paper, or if the mnemonic has been seen by others, the wallet should be considered unsafe, and users should not disclose their mnemonic phrase or PIN to anyone. The notice also warns to be cautious of third parties claiming to assist in recovering lost funds, as such proposals are often scams.For users who have already experienced fund losses, CryptoBilis recommends contacting their official customer service channels and providing the order number, purchase time and location, device serial number, affected wallet address, and transaction ID, while keeping the device and packaging, not resetting or discarding them, and suggests reporting to the police. The company stated that it will not send users links requesting them to connect wallets, input mnemonic phrases, or install software.

According to Bloomberg, DeepSeek announced the suspension of its second round of financing and verbally notified some potential investors that it would not sign investment agreements as expected.

The nearly 4-hour meeting record recently went viral on social media, including statements such as "The biggest gap between China and the U.S. in AI is computing power resources."

According to The Block, Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng stated at the Reuters NEXT Asia summit in Singapore that after Binance suspended services to some EU users, about 70% of users' withdrawal assets flowed to self-custody wallets, with only 30% transferred to licensed platforms that comply with MiCA regulatory requirements.Richard Teng indicated that this data raises questions about the regulatory goals of MiCA. He pointed out that self-custody wallets are not subject to the anti-money laundering (AML) and KYC regulatory frameworks of regulated trading platforms, and the risk may actually increase once user assets are transferred to self-custody.Previously, Binance proactively withdrew its application for a MiCA license in Greece after it failed to be approved before the July 1 transition deadline, and suspended related services to affected EU users. Richard Teng stated that Binance has not given up on the European market, and several EU countries have invited it to reapply for local licenses, although he did not disclose specific countries.In addition, Richard Teng mentioned that Binance plans to continue accelerating its expansion in the Asian market, having already obtained relevant licenses or permissions in markets such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, India, and Pakistan, and expects to gain more regulatory approvals this year. Currently, Binance's global user base has increased to approximately 323 million.
