The total crypto market cap is down more than 36% year over year, the altcoin complex sits roughly 45% below its October 2025 peak, and Bitcoin is on course for its worst annual start in more than a decade, with capital rotating into AI stocks and major IPOs. Three years of waiting for a broad altseason that never arrived have left altcoin traders with fast-decaying narratives, unlock-driven selling, memecoin rotations that rewarded a handful of early buyers, and rallies that faded before most participants could size in. Some investors are now asking whether owning the companies that profit from crypto…

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) informed the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) about the increasing gaps in regulation regarding crypto transfers across national borders and called on all FATF member states to eliminate any minimum transaction threshold required by the Travel Rule. This move would reshape compliance costs for exchanges and trading firms worldwide. FIU Director Lee Hyung-joo made the case at the 34th FATF plenary session in Paris from June 15 to 19, where more than 200 member jurisdictions reviewed how well countries have implemented anti-money-laundering (AML) standards for virtual assets. The result is clear – compliance is…

GnosisDAO’s GIP-151 passed with 215% of the required quorum, 49 votes representing a voting weight roughly 2.15 times the 75,000 $GNO minimum threshold. The proposal authorized a one-time pro rata treasury redemption, allowing $GNO holders to surrender tokens in exchange for a proportional share of liquid treasury assets. A passed governance vote on a treasury of this size redefines what governance tokens can be used for. Until now, a governance token’s value rested on a stack of soft arguments, such as control over protocol direction, fee switches that might get activated, and treasury grants that might boost network growth. When…

Asia’s stablecoin landscape shifted sharply last week, not in a single market-moving headline but through a sequence of developments that show where real-world adoption is thickening. A Japanese financial giant issued a yen-pegged stablecoin, a Korean firm trialled blockchain remittances, and the Philippines leaned further into stablecoins for worker payments — all while Indonesia enforced revised digital asset rules and Russia published a stablecoin regulation draft. According to a weekly roundup by WuBlockchain, the moves point to a region quietly building the plumbing for cross-border stablecoin flows, even as US lawmakers fight over their own crypto bill. The asymmetry is…
Ripple secured preliminary approval as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider from Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the CSSF, on June 23. The approval was delivered as a “Green Light Letter,” which the company is pairing with the EMI license it finalized in the same jurisdiction in February. Together, the two approvals put Ripple inside MiCA’s perimeter, where one member-state license passports across all 30 European Economic Area states, ahead of the July 1 deadline that closes the bloc’s grandfathering window and makes full authorization mandatory. That’s a huge milestone, even for a company that reportedly holds more than 75 licenses worldwide and has…
