Odaily News: The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has stated that crypto firms relying on temporary regulatory relief must apply for an Australian Financial Services License by September 30, or apply to vary their existing license. Those that fail to do so in time may face fines of up to 10% of their annual turnover.

ASIC noted that firms requiring a market license or clearing and settlement facility license must also notify the regulator and attend a pre-application meeting. From October 1, firms that do not meet the conditions of ASIC's "no-action" position but still require authorization may be in breach of financial services laws and face civil and criminal penalties.

ASIC disclosed that it has recorded more than 45 digital asset-related license applications since updating its guidance in October 2025. On June 25, ASIC extended the temporary regulatory relief period from June 30 to September 30, and broadened its scope of application. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: According to informed sources, the Bank of Japan is inclined to raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points this month to address upside risks to inflation, while maintaining flexibility in the pace of future rate hikes based on economic and price conditions. The sources indicated that Bank of Japan officials will discuss the possibility of raising the policy rate and continue to view inflation risks as tilted to the upside. Rising service prices and sustained yen weakness have further strengthened the case for action.

The sources noted that Japan's economy is currently developing broadly in line with the Bank of Japan's earlier projections. Given that there have been no major changes in economic conditions requiring significant policy adjustments, the likelihood of a 50-basis-point hike is low. One source said this has reduced market expectations for an "aggressive rate hike." (Jin Shi)

Odaily News, September 3rd, trader BonkGuy (Unipcs) stated in a post that the last crypto asset that gave him a similar feeling to MARSCOIN was SAFEMOON on BNB Chain in 2021, whose market cap once reached approximately $17 billion.

Odaily News, according to Term Labs monitoring, the final restoration operation was completed at 14:52 UTC on August 25. Currently, Term Labs believes the impact of the incident is limited to liquid assets held by Term Vault, while Meta Vault and related strategies remain closed. The team has not yet found any evidence that Term V1 and V2 contracts were attacked during the incident, with direct lending markets unaffected and supply, repayment, and liquidation functions operating normally. Technical analysis shows that the attacker funded operational wallets through Tornado Cash and exploited governance proposals to reset the governance delay for multiple strategies to zero, bypassing the additional LP blocking window. They subsequently deployed fake controllers, price adapters, and counterfeit Repo tokens, draining liquid assets from certain ETH and USDC strategies by manipulating strategy parameters and price mechanisms. Term Labs is cooperating with law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity companies to investigate the attacker's identity and has provided relevant information to authorities. The remaining low-activity Vaults are currently being processed. Previously unaffected fixed-rate lending contracts were upgraded and migrated in advance to avoid the risk of redemptions to affected Vaults upon loan maturity.

Odaily News – Bitcoin's recent upward momentum is weakening, with the market facing multiple pressures including rising expectations of US interest rate hikes and stalled crypto legislation. Some analysts believe that if expectations of US rate hikes intensify sharply, Bitcoin's price could fall back into the $50,000 range.

Additionally, progress on US cryptocurrency regulatory legislation has stalled. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) has hit obstacles in congressional deliberations. On September 15, the US Congress will hold a vote to decide whether to end related discussions. Prediction market data shows that the probability of the bill passing by 2026 has dropped from over 50% in July to less than 20% currently.

Cryptocurrency analyst Shoji Nishiyama stated that if expectations of US rate hikes intensify sharply, Bitcoin could once again decline to the $50,000 range. Potential IPOs by AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic could also divert some venture capital funds, putting pressure on Bitcoin. However, some analysts believe the previous downtrend may have come to a phased end, and the market is currently focused on whether Bitcoin can stabilize within the $60,000–$85,000 range amid macroeconomic and policy headwinds this autumn.
