SEC cancels key crypto regulatory meeting

Abstract

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has canceled a key open meeting scheduled for Friday where it was expected to propose new rules for cryptocurrency. The meeting was to consider a "tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets." The SEC cited an "unforeseen scheduling issue" as the reason for the cancellation. This development follows the Senate's recess without voting on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which aims to establish a regulatory framework for the crypto industry. SEC Chair Paul Atkins had previously stated the agency was prepared to issue its own rules if the Senate failed to pass the act.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cancelled an open meeting scheduled for Friday that was expected to consider new cryptocurrency rules.

The SEC said Thursday that the meeting had been cancelled. The commission had been expected to consider whether to propose a “tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets.”

The SEC told Reuters that the meeting would be moved due to “an unforeseen scheduling issue.” The agency did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request to comment.

The Senate left for its August recess without voting on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which would provide a comprehensive framework for financial regulators overseeing the crypto industry.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins told CNBC on July 27 that the agency was “ready, willing, and able to come out with rules“ on digital assets if the Senate failed to pass the CLARITY Act.

Experiment with Ethereum for this Nasdaq-listed giant lasted just one year! All ETH sold, and investments will be directed precisely into...

American digital asset management company FG Nexus (FGNX), which trades on Nasdaq, has completely exited its Ethereum holdings, ending a roughly one-year strategic experiment with the cryptocurrency. According to its latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company sold all its assets in Ethereum (ETH) and Wrapped Staked ETH (wstETH) as of June 30, 2026. FG Nexus first made ETH a primary treasury asset in 2025, with its holdings peaking at 50,770 ETH in September of that year. However, following a market downturn starting in October 2025, the company rapidly reduced its positions. For the first half of 2026, FG Nexus reported a total loss of $45.207 million from digital asset operations, with $41.167 million attributed specifically to its ETH investments. The company stated it plans to redirect the capital from the ETH sales into income-generating real estate investments.

Gemini posts $108M Q2 net loss despite 37% revenue growth

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini reported a net loss of $107.7 million in Q2 despite a 37% year-over-year revenue increase to $45.5 million. The loss occurred as core exchange revenue fell 38% to $12.5 million due to a sharp drop in trading volume. This was partially offset by a 149% surge in services revenue to $23.5 million, driven by strong growth in credit card and staking income. However, transaction losses ballooned to $20.1 million, primarily from a provision for credit losses related to an identity fraud event in the credit card portfolio. Operating expenses rose 24% compared to the prior year, though they decreased from Q1 due to cost-cutting. Following the earnings report, Gemini's stock fell nearly 5% in pre-market trading.

Shinhan Asset Management partners with Plume on tokenized fund pilot

Shinhan Asset Management has signed an MOU with blockchain network Plume to create a proof-of-concept for a Korean won-denominated tokenized fund. The pilot will use one of Shinhan's ultra-short-term bond funds as the underlying asset and BlackRock's BUIDL fund as a benchmark to test issuance and distribution. Key objectives include testing the overseas viability of won-denominated products in onchain markets, which are currently dominated by dollar assets, and evaluating compliance processes such as transfer restrictions, KYC, and AML controls. This follows other Shinhan Group blockchain initiatives, including Shinhan Card's stablecoin payment tests with Solana and Shinhan Bank's 2023 stablecoin remittance pilot.

ParaFi Partner Bets That Capital from AI Will Rush into Bitcoin After the Bubble Bursts

The article discusses the shift of investment capital from cryptocurrencies to artificial intelligence (AI) sectors, as confirmed by data showing AI captured 80% of global venture funding in Q1 2026. This has contributed to stable but range-bound cryptocurrency prices due to reduced market interest and liquidity. While crypto analyst Arthur Hayes asserts that AI has absorbed all available capital, Jeff Park, a partner at ParaFi Capital, presents a contrarian view. He argues that the wealth creation from AI is ultimately beneficial for Bitcoin. Park believes that once the inevitable AI bubble bursts and capital flees, Bitcoin, as a perpetual asset, will be a primary destination for that liquidity. This prediction has drawn criticism from those who warn of a potential correlated downturn between stock and crypto markets if the AI sector collapses.

Mining Company Employee Mined 1 BTC on Employer's Equipment

In July 2021, an employee at a New York-based mining company, identified as Rankin, misused his access to 100 of his employer's computers. He redirected the corporate computing power to his personal mining pool and transferred the mined cryptocurrency to Bitcoin addresses under his control. His actions forced the equipment to operate at a high-performance level, significantly reducing its lifespan and damaging stored data. As a result, the company lost 1.06683386 BTC, valued at approximately $53,315 at the time of the crime. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of New York charged Rankin with transmitting malicious code and commands to protected computers, and with damaging property. He faces up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000, with sentencing scheduled for November 17, 2026. The report also mentions a similar case in Russia, where a manager at a plant was suspected of illegally using electricity for mining over four years.
