  • Pennsylvania Passes "Bitcoin Rights" Bill and Considers Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Amid Criticism and Potential Economic Benefits

    Pennsylvania has passed the "Bitcoin Rights" bill, which protects the rights of individuals and businesses to self-custody digital assets, operate blockchain nodes, and conduct transactions without interference from restrictive municipal ordinances. This move establishes Pennsylvania as a leader in digital asset regulation and demonstrates its commitment to fostering innovation in the sector while addressing issues such as economic empowerment and financial inclusion. Additionally, two Republican Representatives have introduced the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which would allow the state treasurer to allocate up to 10% of Pennsylvania's funds into bitcoin and crypto-based exchange-traded products. However, critics have raised concerns about the risks of holding bitcoin in government reserves, including extreme price volatility and security vulnerabilities, as well as environmental concerns related to bitcoin mining's energy consumption. Despite this, Pennsylvania's proactive approach to fostering a crypto-friendly environment positions the state as a model for equitable digital asset adoption and underscores the growing role of state governments in shaping the future of the digital economy.

  • It is reported that Trump may meet with Ripple CEO and other crypto industry representatives to discuss the formulation of US crypto policy

  • EU regulators set out guidelines on restrictions for cryptocurrency providers

    the European Banking Authority (EBA) is the European regulatory agency responsible for addressing weaknesses in the European banking industry. It has issued two sets of guidelines, including specific guidelines for payment service providers (PSPs) and cryptocurrency asset service providers (CASPs). On November 14th, EBA released guidelines that specify the measures that PSPs and CASPs must take when transferring funds or cryptocurrency to comply with EU and national restrictive measures. According to EBA, these guidelines ensure the implementation of EU and national sanctions. EBA believes that weaknesses in control, internal policies, and procedures may pose legal and reputational risks to financial institutions (including PSPs and CASPs). In addition, weak links in these areas for financial institutions may also "weaken" the effectiveness of the EU's restrictive measures system. The European Banking Authority emphasizes that this may lead to rule evasion, thereby affecting the stability of the EU's financial ecosystem. According to ECA, these guidelines will apply from December 30, 2025.

The bill adds a new "property" category within the scope of property to help resolve legal disputes involving cryptocurrencies.

  • Coinbase Chief Legal Officer: US SEC blocks Coinbase’s request to disclose Gary Gensler’s communication documents

    Paul Grewal.eth, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, wrote on the X platform that the issues of Chevron and Binance's secondary sales have been clarified, but in Coinbase's lawsuit, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has prevented Coinbase from requesting the disclosure of Gary Gensler's communication documents. In March 2021, Gary Gensler told the U.S. Congress that the SEC lacked regulatory authority over digital asset exchanges, confirming the long-held belief among market participants that digital asset trading on these exchanges is not within the jurisdiction of securities law. Coinbase has requested that Gary Gensler provide documents related to these communications because they are related to how the SEC's enforcement actions violate the due process requirements of the Constitution, but the SEC and Gary Gensler are trying to prevent the disclosure of these documents.
