Ahead of Hong Kong? A world first! European Parliament votes overwhelmingly to pass cryptocurrency regulations
On Thursday (April 20) local time, the European Parliament passed the first EU-wide cryptocurrency regulation MiCA with a vote of 517 in favor and 38 against. This is also the world's first comprehensive regulation of the crypto asset market. Stefan Berger, a member of the European Parliament, said: "This regulation brings a competitive advantage to the European Union. The regulatory transparency of the European crypto-asset industry does not exist in countries such as the United States." Berger pushed MiCA to be passed in the European Parliament.
Marid McGuinness, the European Commission's financial affairs commissioner, said on Wednesday that she expected MiCA to come into force in July next year after approval, and that specific requirements will gradually come into effect. For example, rules governing stablecoins will be implemented from July 2024. Begin to apply. McGuinness emphasized: “I hope our rules can become a model for other countries.” MiCA identifies and covers three types of crypto assets, namely asset-referenced tokens, electronic currency tokens money tokens) and utility tokens.

Three-quarters of countries fail to meet the standards for anti-money laundering of virtual assets? FATF issues a warning!
🌐 The latest revelation from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on anti-money laundering: 97 of the world's 130 jurisdictions fail to meet the standards for anti-money laundering of virtual assets! Is this a bit exaggerated? 🤯
🔍 Data shows that 60% of regions allow virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to operate, but 14% explicitly prohibit them. The most frightening thing is that FATF pointed out that stablecoins and those super-privacy cryptocurrencies have become the new favorites of terrorist organizations and "rogue states." You know, this is not a joke! 😱
📉 It seems that we still have a long way to go on the road of anti-money laundering of virtual assets. Countries really need to work harder and don't let these bad guys take advantage of the loopholes!

New Trends in EU Cryptocurrency Regulation: ESMA Draft Classifies MEV as Market Abuse
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has explicitly identified the Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) as a clear example of illegal market abuse in its proposed technical standards for the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation.
Patrick Hansen, a prominent commentator on crypto regulation, recently highlighted this development on X, noting the significant implications it will have for the crypto industry.
MEV Regulation
According to Patrick Hansen, a crypto regulation commentator, on social media, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) draft explicitly mentions the maximum extractable value (MEV) issue. The draft states that miners or validators use their authority to arbitrarily reorder transactions, preemptively execute certain transactions and profit from them, and this behavior clearly constitutes a market abuse.

Crypto Regulation: CFTC Chairman Views Many Tokens as Commodities
CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam has sparked a new debate over cryptocurrency regulation, saying many tokens are commodities.
In a recent CNBC Squawk Box interview, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Rostin Behnam made an important statement regarding cryptocurrency regulation as it relates to the classification of tokens within the space. Contrary to the position of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, Behnam claimed that “many tokens constitute commodities under current law.”
Different perspectives on cryptocurrency regulation
The disagreement between Behnam and Gensler on cryptocurrency regulation is noteworthy. Gensler has long advocated for cryptocurrency intermediaries to be treated as securities exchanges and insist on registration with the SEC.

Uniswap Labs pushes back against SEC’s misguided move on DeFi regulation
In a blog post on May 20, Uniswap Labs responded strongly to the SEC's Wells Notice, expressing confidence that it will win in a possible lawsuit. The company believes that the SEC's regulatory attempts on DeFi are not only misguided, but also legally untenable. Uniswap Labs firmly believes that its work is in line with historical justice and believes that the SEC should not use public funds to fight them.
In the article, Uniswap Labs criticized the SEC's attempt to expand its jurisdiction over communication technology and digital markets, arguing that its legal arguments were weak and repeatedly refuted in court. The company emphasized that the SEC should support open source technology that improves outdated business and financial systems instead of trying to stifle it through litigation.

Digital Securities Sandbox Application Scenarios
Participants will be able to conduct sandbox activities under the same regulatory conditions in both countries, while the United States and the United Kingdom will reach an information-sharing agreement.

Can the Bitcoin bull run continue? These 4 points will determine your investment fate!
Have you ever thought that Bitcoin has risen by nearly 60% this year? Do you feel like you have missed this wave of growth and are itching to get in? Don't worry, the key to whether the bull market can continue depends on these 4 points!
First of all, you have to know that Bitcoin has ushered in two major positive factors this year: one is that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), allowing ordinary investors to easily get on board; the other is the Bitcoin "halving" event, which reduced the supply of new coins and the market applauded.
However, don’t be too happy too soon, as the bull market is not all smooth sailing. The Fed’s policies, regulatory uncertainty, the presidential election, and the subsequent momentum of spot ETFs will determine the future trend of Bitcoin.

$157 million evaporated! Indodax hacked, is your currency safe?
Dear cryptocurrency friends, another big hacker attack! This time it was Indodax, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Indonesia, that lost $157 million! This reminds me of the nightmare of Mt. Gox's collapse in 2014 and the Bitfinex theft in 2016. History always repeats itself, but have we really learned our lesson?
For quick analysis, please visit: mlion.ai
Let’s analyze this incident in depth:
1. Severity of the security breach
This attack exposed the fatal weakness of centralized exchanges. Think about it, if even the largest exchange in Indonesia can be hacked, can other exchanges be spared? It's like a bank vault being pried open, who would dare to deposit money in it?

Today I saw a set of data on global government assets holding Bitcoin on the Internet, saying that the total holdings are about 471,380 BTC (accounting for 2.6% of the circulation), and the total market value is close to 40 billion US dollars.
I sorted out and posted a few of the top rankings. The data may not be accurate, but the interesting thing is the source. Except for El Salvador, which actively purchased, some were confiscated, some were stolen, and some were donated. To sum up, more than 90% of the Bitcoin held by global governments comes from "black eating black" - confiscating the stolen money of drug dealers, hackers, and fraudsters.
The United States has hoarded more than 200,000 Bitcoins by confiscating the Silk Road and Bitfinex hacking cases, which can be called the world's largest warehouse of stolen goods on the chain.
China harvested 190,000 Bitcoins from the Plus Token scam.
The UK picked up 61,000 Bitcoins from the money laundering case.
The North Korean government is even more outrageous, directly using hackers.
Last year, Germany sold 50,000 Bitcoins, which caused a market crash. The government shouted to crack down on illegal activities while accepting the stolen money to enrich the treasury, perfectly demonstrating that it is all about ideology and all about business.
Behind every Bitcoin that has been confiscated, it seems that it is the illegal income of criminal gangs, but in fact it is the hard work of countless small investors.
To this day, the cryptocurrency market still does not have a set of mature interconnected regulations. The trend of decentralization has been formed. It is hoped that the supporting regulatory laws and regulations can keep up, so as not to let those believers who firmly believe in the value and significance of decentralization sweat and bleed.

Written by: Mankiw LLP
As a financial center in Asia, Hong Kong's virtual currency market has always been at the forefront of global regulation.

🚨 The U.S. government's cryptocurrency wallet is suspected to have been hacked!
Nine hours ago, the U.S. government's cryptocurrency wallet may have been attacked by hackers. Arkham Intelligence's latest news indicates that approximately $20 million worth of USDC, USDT, aUSDC, and ETH were transferred from the government wallet address (0xc9E6E51C7dA9FF1198fdC5b3369EfeDA9b19C34c) to the attacker's address (0x3486eE700CcaF3E2F9C5eC9730a2e916a4740A9f).
Complicating matters further, the attacked government address had previously received funds from nine addresses seized by the U.S. government, some of which were alleged to be related to the Bitfinex hacking case.
Currently, the hackers have begun processing the approximately $20 million in stolen cryptocurrency, starting to convert these assets into ETH. What’s more concerning is that they may be using some suspicious addresses related to money laundering activities to clean these illicit gains.
If this is true, the consequences could be severe. The government would not only face significant financial losses but also have to deal with a crisis of public trust in its ability to protect digital assets. At the same time, this could spark a new round of discussions and intensification regarding cryptocurrency regulation. A hacker attack on a government wallet is not a trivial matter; it could trigger a series of chain reactions.
🗣️ Conclusion:
This incident also reflects that the advantages of cryptocurrency lie in its decentralized structure and high security, but these features also bring challenges, such as market volatility, potential security risks, and regulatory complexities.
Although all transaction records are publicly transparent on the blockchain, the anonymity and cross-border nature of cryptocurrencies make it exceptionally difficult to trace the flow of funds and recover stolen assets.
Of course, the occurrence of such incidents may also push regulatory agencies to adopt stricter measures and prompt the industry to establish tighter security protocols to protect digital assets from future threats and ensure the healthy development of this emerging field.
