According to a news release from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Hong Kong police announced that they have joined law enforcement agencies from 9 countries and regions, including Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand, to combat cross-border fraud and money laundering activities. This operation took place from March 10 to May 7, resulting in the arrest of 3,018 individuals, involving over 138,000 fraud cases, with total losses of approximately $752 million (about HKD 5.89 billion).During the operation, law enforcement agencies froze a total of 101,989 bank accounts and successfully intercepted approximately $161 million (about HKD 1.26 billion) in fraudulent funds. Among them, the Hong Kong police arrested 870 individuals and intercepted approximately HKD 539 million in funds. The largest case involved a Singapore company that was defrauded of $36 million (about HKD 280 million), with the related funds subsequently flowing into multiple bank accounts in Hong Kong and other regions. About half of this amount was converted into stablecoins and dispersed into different virtual asset wallets, with the police successfully freezing $20 million of these funds after tracking.Investigations show that money laundering through virtual asset platforms is on the rise, and various regions need to continue enhancing their capabilities to respond to crimes involving virtual assets through intelligence sharing and collaborative mechanisms.

The law firm Burwick Law has filed a federal class action lawsuit in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) against the creators of AI16Z and ELIZAOS, including defendant Walters, accusing them of violating consumer protection laws, false advertising, and unjust enrichment. Legal documents show that the defendants are accused of leveraging the brand reputation of Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) to package the project and issued the AI16Z token on Solana on October 24, 2024, later renamed ELIZAOS. The complaint alleges that the project claimed to have self-investing AI agents, which were actually operated manually, and did not generate revenue during the lawsuit period.On January 2, 2025, the token price reached a historical high of approximately $2.47, with a market capitalization exceeding $2.6 billion, and subsequently collapsed due to large holders reducing their positions. On-chain data shows that the most profitable traders realized approximately $39 million in profits.

The newly established political action committee in the crypto industry, Fellowship PAC, has raised approximately $11 million, with $10 million coming from Cantor Fitzgerald and $1 million from Anchorage Digital. It has spent about $3 million on political advertising, with this portion of the expenses paid to Nxum Group, which was co-founded by Tether US CEO Bo Hines.The PAC primarily supports Republican candidates and invests funds in congressional and state-level elections. Although the organization has ties to Tether executives, its main funding sources are financial institutions, and it is currently unclear whether Tether can directly participate in related political donations.

Investment company KKR announced that it has reached a final agreement with Samsung SDS, a blockchain and IT financial services provider under Samsung, to acquire newly issued convertible bonds worth 1.22 trillion won (approximately 820 million USD).Samsung SDS launched digital transformation experience services in 2020, including a blockchain platform, and co-developed a certificate service driven by blockchain technology with Shinhan Bank.

According to CoinDesk, documents submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by the Super Political Action Committee (Super PAC) Fellowship, which is associated with Tether, show that its first expenditure of $300,000 went to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Tether's U.S. CEO, former Trump administration crypto advisor Bo Hines, along with his father Todd Hines and third-party partners.This expenditure was used to purchase campaign advertisements for Georgia Republican House candidate Clay Fuller, coinciding with Fuller winning a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene as a congressman. Notably, Fellowship did not publicly announce this expenditure nor include Fuller in its public endorsement list.On April 1 of this year, Fellowship appointed Jesse Spiro, Tether's U.S. Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, as the committee chair, officially reactivating its presence in the political arena. When the committee was announced last year, it had received a total funding commitment of $100 million, but its FEC disclosure documents currently show a zero account balance, and related donations have not been made public. Tether International responded that there is no association or regulatory relationship with Fellowship PAC, while Tether U.S. declined to comment.In terms of conflicts of interest, Michael Beckel from the political reform organization Issue One stated that it is not illegal for Super PACs to pay founder-associated companies under U.S. campaign finance rules, provided that services are genuinely rendered and rates are in line with market prices. Fellowship's CFO Mitchell Nobel currently works at Cantor Fitzgerald, which manages Tether's global business assets, and its former chairman is current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.Currently, Fellowship's expenditure scale is still vastly different from that of the leading crypto industry Super PAC Fairshake. Fairshake has invested millions in several primary elections, while the candidates currently supported by Fellowship are almost all deep-red state Republicans.

GameStop disclosed that the approximately 4,710 BTC previously transferred to Coinbase Prime was not sold but used as collateral in a covered call strategy to generate option premium income.The company sold short-term call options over-the-counter (OTC), with strike prices ranging from $105,000 to $110,000, generating income while retaining exposure to Bitcoin, but this also limited the upside potential. As a result of this structure, GameStop no longer directly holds Bitcoin assets but records them as "receivable assets," which means the right to recover an equivalent amount of BTC from the counterparty in the future. Since the collateral can be rehypothecated or reused, its position has transformed into a derivative exposure with counterparty risk.The financial report shows that as of the end of the fiscal year, the value of receivable assets related to this strategy was approximately $368.3 million, while an unrealized loss of about $59.7 million was recorded (due to the decline in Bitcoin prices). Additionally, the company confirmed approximately $700,000 in option liabilities and $2.3 million in unrealized gains.
