According to Cryptopolitan, Odaily reported that last week, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov stated that financial regulators were prepared to abandon a single regulatory definition that only allowed a small group of "highly qualified" investors access to decentralized digital currencies such as Bitcoin and their derivatives. Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Russia, confirmed to reporters: "Indeed, our colleagues in the Ministry of Finance correctly pointed out that we are discussing the feasibility of using the term 'highly qualified' in the new cryptocurrency regulations." On Monday, in an interview, he explicitly stated that the Central Bank of Russia now believes it is "very likely" to relax regulations, adding: "In addition to targeting this extremely narrow group of investors, the rules for the circulation of crypto assets should also be relaxed, especially considering the current restrictions on Russian legal entities and individuals using conventional currencies for overseas payments."

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Sahara stated that rumors circulating in the market regarding "abnormal market maker operations" are untrue. Currently, the designated market makers for $SAHARA are Amber Group and Herring Global, and after verification, no abnormal behavior has been found from either party. The official statement also emphasized that the $SAHARA token smart contract remains completely secure and unchanged, and token management and custody remain entirely under the control of the Sahara Foundation.

Gold prices retreated from a more than six-month high on Tuesday, with spot gold falling below $4,200 per ounce, partly due to rising US Treasury yields and profit-taking, while investors awaited US economic data to gauge the Federal Reserve's policy path. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield remained near a two-week high, diminishing the appeal of gold as a non-interest-bearing asset. Tim Wot, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, noted, "Gold performed weakly today, but the fundamentals remain unchanged—including the expected Fed rate cut, which should support prices from a yield perspective." Market sentiment is cautious, with expectations that the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the core PCE price index, to be released on Friday, will remain moderate. In addition, key US data this week includes Wednesday's November ADP employment report. (Golden Ten)
