В Coinbase подтвердили заинтересованность в банковской лицензии

Coinbase рассматривает возможность подачи заявки для получения лицензии федерального банка США. Представитель биржи подтвердил планы в комментарии для Cointelegraph.

Однако он отметил, что официального решения в компании пока не приняли.

Согласно данным WSJ, подобный шаг рассматривают несколько крупных криптофирм вроде эмитента стейблкоинов Circle, кастодиана BitGo и инфраструктурной блокчейн-компании Paxos.

Последняя в 2021 году получила от Управления контролера денежного обращения (OCC) в составе Минфина США предварительную лицензию общенационального трастового банка.

Статус регулируемого финансового учреждения позволяет расширить ассортимент и географию предоставляемых услуг, но налагает более высокие требования к отчетности и соблюдению нормативно-правовых требований. За эти годы Paxos столкнулась с расследованием со стороны Департамента финансовых услуг штата Нью-Йорк и претензиями SEC.

В январе 2021 года OCC одобрило заявку кастодиана криптовалют Anchorage на получение лицензии общенационального «банка цифровых активов».

Год спустя регулятор обвинил компанию «в нарушении операционного соглашения». Поводом стали недочеты в комплаенс-программе, которая недостаточно охватывала положения Закона о банковской тайне и нормы по противодействию отмыванию денег.

Напомним, председатель ФРС Джером Пауэлл считает, что в будущем регуляторы могут ослабить требования, связанные с цифровыми активами, применительно к финансовым учреждениям.

Vitalik Moves to Local Mixing as Obfuscation Series Reaches Third Stage

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published the third part of his series on cryptographic obfuscation, focusing on a method called "local mixing." This method abandons lattices and elliptic curves in favor of ideas borrowed from hash function design. Buterin described local mixing as a "completely different way of cryptography," free from elliptic curves, prime factorization, and lattices, making it more akin to symmetric cryptography used in everyday encryption. The process begins with a circuit of logic gates like XOR, AND, and NOT. It undergoes a pipeline that ensures a correct output while obscuring any trace of the internal logic. Key steps include adding reversibility, strengthening, mechanization, mixing, and finally obfuscation. The mixing step scatters extra logic gates and shuffles their arrangement. Reversibility is foundational, allowing gates to be rewritten as other reversible gates with similar behavior. Buterin acknowledged local mixing is a "wild and risky undertaking," lying on the "graveyard of failed attempts at white-box cryptography." However, its proponents argue it needs more research effort and a willingness to accept higher overhead costs. Buterin suggested AI could accelerate its development. He called obfuscation the "final boss of cryptography," with the most complex constructions having runtimes exceeding the universe's age. The article concludes by explaining obfuscation's utility: it can encrypt a program so it still functions with normal inputs and outputs while hiding the code. Combined with blockchain, this moves toward a "trusted third party that requires no trust," enabling applications like private, collusion-resistant voting without relying on a trusted committee.

India Orders Closure of Hundreds of Google Firebase Accounts Used in Banking Frauds

India's cybercrime agency ordered Google to block hundreds of accounts on its Firebase app development platform. The move came after investigators traced numerous fake banking apps and phishing websites to the service. The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) sent multiple notices to Google, identifying at least 57 websites and databases on Firebase allegedly used to distribute malware and steal victims' financial data. Among these, seven were phishing pages mimicking login screens of major Indian banks like State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank. The rest were reportedly data collection points for stolen information like credit card numbers and one-time passwords. The fraud scheme involved Android malware disguised as legitimate banking apps, luring victims with promises of new credit cards, rewards, or credit limit increases. Once installed, the app secretly forwarded device data to a Firebase database controlled by scammers, granting them access to other apps and the victim's funds. One scam specifically targeted beneficiaries of a government farmer aid program. This action marks a shift in India's approach. Previously focused on blocking individual fraudulent websites, authorities are now targeting the broader infrastructure enabling these scams. The move highlights how fraudsters exploit widely accessible platforms like Firebase, attracted by its free tier and database capabilities, to target India's vast digital payment user base.
