Regulatory trends

American Bankers Association leads call for GENIUS Act revisions

The American Bankers Association (ABA) and 52 other banking industry organizations have sent a letter to the leadership of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, proposing amendments to the United States Stablecoin Guidance and Establishing National Innovation (GENIUS) Act. The letter points out concerns about the GENIUS Act regarding interest payments, state-level regulation, and the issuance of stablecoins by non-financial companies, as the prohibition on stablecoin issuers paying interest to holders is considered too permissive.

Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued a joint statement on market volatility related to stablecoins

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) have noted recent market volatility related to the concept of stablecoins. The HKMA reiterated its commitment to a robust and prudent approach and high thresholds for considering applications for stablecoin issuer licenses. The HKMA emphasized that expressions of interest or submissions of stablecoin license applications, as well as its communication with relevant institutions, are merely part of the licensing process; ultimately, the issuance of a license will depend on whether the application meets the licensing requirements. Given the significant uncertainty surrounding the outcomes of these plans or applications, these market sentiment- or speculation-driven fluctuations highlight the need for vigilance during periods of market fervor.

Character Voice

Greeks.live: The bull market is likely to continue

Adam, a macroeconomic researcher at Greeks.Live, wrote on the X platform: "As BTC hit a new all-time high and ETH neared its all-time high, the market experienced a slightly unexpected pullback, primarily triggered by the unexpected PPI. The options market saw little movement, with no significant changes in IVs for major maturities and relatively low skew fluctuations. However, trading volume reveals market enthusiasm. Today, Deribit traded $10.9 billion in options, marking the first time that a single-day trading volume has exceeded $10 billion. This high trading enthusiasm suggests the market remains confident in the outlook, and the bull market is likely to continue."

MyStonks founder Bruce J: The suspension of user withdrawals is to cooperate with law enforcement investigations and urges people not to over-interpret

MyStonks founder Bruce J issued a statement addressing recent platform controversies, stating that last week, the compliance team received a law enforcement request to provide information about a single client and suspend withdrawals for that client. This action was not the platform's own initiative, and the client's brokerage account was also restricted. He emphasized that assisting regulatory investigations is an exchange's legal responsibility, and that targeted investigations do not indicate a problem with the source of client funds. He urged the public not to overinterpret or spread false rumors. Bruce J stated that MyStonks has completed compliance filings in the US, has over 20,000 registered users, and is valued at over $50 million. The platform will continue to adhere to a compliant approach and focus on developing its RWA business and providing customer service.
