According to the official website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce delivered a speech at the "Regulating the PETshop Series" seminar at Georgetown University Law Center, calling for the inclusion of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) in the financial regulatory framework.She criticized the current regulatory approach for being overly inclined towards government surveillance, arguing that technology should serve to protect personal privacy rather than expand the scope of surveillance, and pointed out that blockchain public wallet addresses can reduce the risk of personal information leakage for investors while meeting compliance requirements.Peirce also invited technology teams that can minimize personal information collection while meeting KYC and anti-money laundering regulatory requirements to actively collaborate with the SEC's Crypto Task Force.

The encrypted messaging app Signal stated that if Canada's Bill C-22 is officially passed and requires platforms to establish "lawful access" monitoring capabilities, the company may choose to exit the Canadian market rather than weaken end-to-end encryption. Signal's Vice President of Strategy and Global Affairs, Udbhav Tiwari, indicated that the bill could force communication services to create technical backdoors, thereby undermining encryption security and making private communications more susceptible to exploitation by hackers and foreign attackers.Bill C-22 was introduced in March 2026 as part of a new round of regulatory measures in Canada, requiring electronic service providers to establish law enforcement monitoring capabilities and retain certain user metadata for up to a year to assist in investigations of crimes such as terrorism and child exploitation. Critics argue that the bill is similar to the EU's previously controversial "chat monitoring" proposal, which could threaten end-to-end encryption and user privacy. Canadian Conservative MP Jacob Mantle stated that nearly all Canadian MPs use Signal precisely because of its privacy and security features, yet the bill could grant the government the ability to read private messages.Tiwari stated, "Signal would rather exit Canada than violate the privacy commitments made to users." In addition to Signal, the VPN provider Windscribe also indicated that if the bill passes in its current form, the company may follow Signal in withdrawing from the Canadian market. Windscribe claimed that the bill could force VPN services to log data that could identify users, violating its core privacy principles.

According to market news, the Korean National Tax Service has issued a tender announcement, planning to introduce cryptocurrency transaction tracking software from institutions such as Chainalysis and TRM Labs to monitor cryptocurrency transaction records in real-time, track hidden assets of suspected tax evaders, and combat tax evasion behaviors through disguised inheritance, gifting, and offshore tax evasion using cryptocurrency.The system can track approximately 70 million types of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and stablecoins, covering 45 blockchain layers. It also has the capability to identify "mixing" money laundering techniques with its "de-mixing" ability and can perform a certain degree of identity recognition for non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask and Phantom. This is the third time the National Tax Service has introduced related solutions since 2024, with plans to complete system construction in June and officially put it into use starting in July.

According to Decrypt, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis stated that the Senate is expected to release a revised draft text on stablecoin yield distribution this week.Currently, there is a disagreement between banks and crypto companies on whether cryptocurrency exchanges should be allowed to pay yields to stablecoin holders through reward programs, and this controversy has stalled the legislative process of the Clarity Act. The White House Council of Economic Advisers recently released a report stating that banning stablecoin yields would have a minimal impact on small banks, only increasing bank lending by 0.02%. However, the American Bankers Association believes this analysis underestimates the risks. Observers point out that if the draft provisions are too strict, it may lead users and liquidity to flow to other jurisdictions that allow yields.

The High Court of England ruled last week that a lawsuit involving the theft of 2,323 bitcoins can proceed to trial. The plaintiff, Ping Fai Yuen, stated in court documents that his estranged wife, Fun Yung Li, secretly obtained the mnemonic phrase for his Trezor hardware wallet using home surveillance cameras in August 2023 and transferred 2,323 bitcoins without permission. At the time of the theft, it was worth nearly $60 million, and at the current price of about $74,000, it is now worth approximately $172 million.Court documents show that the transferred bitcoins were dispersed to 71 blockchain addresses not held on exchanges after multiple transactions, and no further transfers have occurred since December 21, 2023. Yuen claimed that his daughter had warned Li about attempting to steal the bitcoins, after which he installed recording devices in his home. After discovering the transfer, Yuen physically attacked Li and pleaded guilty in 2024 to actual bodily harm and two counts of common assault.Previously, Li had applied to dismiss the case, arguing that the plaintiff's core claim of "conversion" only applies to tangible property and not to digital assets like bitcoins. The judge agreed with this view but ruled that the case could proceed to trial based on other legal claims.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman forwarded an internal letter stating that the company is negotiating with the U.S. Department of Defense to revise an agreement, clarifying that artificial intelligence systems must not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens and nationals, and prohibiting tracking or monitoring through the procurement or use of commercially obtained personally identifiable information.The letter mentioned that the Department of Defense confirmed that the relevant services would not be used for intelligence agencies, and any service provision would require a separate modification of the contract. Sam Altman stated that the company would participate in policy discussions through democratic processes, and if it receives directives that it deems unconstitutional, it will refuse to comply, adding that some technologies are not yet mature and that it will work with relevant departments to gradually improve safety mechanisms.

Vitalik Buterin expressed support for the AI company Anthropic in adhering to two ethical principles: "not developing fully autonomous weapons" and "not engaging in large-scale surveillance for the U.S." He praised their determination in the face of government pressure. Vitalik believes that in an ideal world, such high-risk applications should only be accessible at the level of open-source LLMs (i.e., a level where everyone can access it equally); even achieving just 10% progress could reduce the risks of autonomous weapons and privacy violations, promoting safer AI development.Previously, it was reported that the Pentagon recently threatened to cut ties with Anthropic, which could lead to a loss of a $200 million contract, because Anthropic refused to provide AI technology for military use without human intervention.

He believes that the recently passed cryptocurrency legislation undermines the initial promise of permissionless private money in the industry.Warren Davidson criticized the stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act in a post on the X forum, arguing that the bill would give rise to a wholesale version of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), which could be used for "surveillance, coercion, and control." He also expressed concerns that a digital identity system might be introduced in the future, forcing American citizens to obtain government permission to use their own money.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins warned on December 15 during a roundtable meeting of the SEC's cryptocurrency working group that if regulation is not careful, cryptocurrencies could become tools for financial surveillance.Paul Atkins stated that blockchain has an efficient capability in associating transactions with individuals, which raises concerns about excessive government intervention. He cautioned that viewing every cryptocurrency wallet and transaction as a surveillance target could lead to the creation of a financial monitoring system. Paul Atkins also pointed out that a balance can be achieved between national security needs and individual privacy. As traditional finance enters this field, the debate over cryptocurrency privacy is increasingly gaining attention, and recent criminal cases have highlighted regulatory challenges.
