❌🇫🇷 Bloomberg: Binance is one of the cryptocurrency companies that have been checked by French regulators for money laundering.

The French authorities have launched a large-scale inspection of more than 100 crypto companies - the ACPR regulator assesses who is worthy of obtaining a MiCA license.

Binance Exchange has already been obliged to strengthen risk and compliance control. If the company does not meet the requirements, it may lose the chance to work throughout Europe.

The deadline for obtaining MiCA in France is until the end of June 2026.

🇨🇳The founder of Huobi launches a fund to purchase #ETH for $1,000,000,000.

Li Ling, the creator of the Huobi exchange and the head of Avenir Capital, teams up with the legends of the Asian crypto world Shen Bo (Fenbushi Capital), Xiao Feng (HashKey Group) and Tsai Wensheng (Meitu) to launch the Ethereum Trust for $1,000,000,000.

The goal is to provide institutional access to Ethereum and related assets, similar to how Bitcoin ETF opened the way for institutional money in BTC.

The announcement of the project is expected in 2-3 weeks.

Ethereum Trust can become an analogue of Grayscale for Asia.

Recall that Li Ling sold Huobi to Justin San after the ban on crypto trading in China and is now building a «clean» institutional empire from Hong Kong.

🇨🇳 The Chinese authorities have slowed down the crypto initiatives of technogiants.

✦ Ant Group (Alibaba) and JD.com suspended the launch of stablecoins in Hong Kong after instructions from Chinese regulators.

✦ Supervisors, including the People’s Bank of China, have warned that private currencies undermine the state’s monopoly on money emission and can compete with the digital yuan (e-CNY).

✦ This cooled Hong Kong’s ambitions to become a test site for yuan stablecoins, which were supposed to promote the internationalization of RMB.

✦ Former head of the Central Bank of China Zhou Xiaochuan previously called for «be careful» and reminded that stablecoins easily turn into a tool of speculation.

✦ While the United States and Hong Kong are betting on tokenization and stablecoins, China clearly chooses a different path - full control and development of the digital yuan instead of decentralized money.

🫥 Many buyers of the #ZEC token do not speculate on it, but keep it in shielded mode!

On Twitter, the growth of the token by 750% since August this year has increasingly been described as «people’s real desire for privacy and confidentiality».

Supposedly, it’s not just a pump of some old coin, but everything is much deeper.

Why this is important: Part of the offer becomes less affordable for immediate sale.

Real-time data: zechub

Shielded is a Zcash mode where amounts and addresses are hidden using zk-SNARKs. This is not a DeFi pool, but a part of the registry itself. Wallets with NU5/Orchard and Unified Address support allow you to «hide» coins and send them privately. Crypto exchanges are more likely to work with transparent addresses.

🧐 Vitalik Buterin praised Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nilval (twitter)

According to the founder of Ethereum, Polygon played an important role in the development of the ecosystem.

He also noted that Sandeep and CZ are rare examples of those who do not just speak, but really make a personal contribution to the common good, without striving for profit.

At the same time, Sandeep himself said that he began to doubt his loyalty to Ethereum.

According to him, the Ethereum Foundation underestimates the role of Polygon and does not support the project, although from the very beginning the team has strived to be part of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Nailwal noted that such loyalty cost him «billions of dollars», because Polygon could become an independent blockchain.
