U.S. Treasury Department Publishes Rules Regulating Stablecoins Under the GENIUS Act

The U.S. Treasury Department has published draft rules for regulating payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act. The proposal, announced on August 17, 2026, mandates federal or state licensing for all U.S.-based issuers starting January 18, 2027. A 60-day public comment period is open until October 19, 2026. For foreign stablecoins, access to the U.S. market will be heavily restricted; providers cannot offer them unless the issuer can comply with U.S. legal orders and is registered with the OCC, with a full ban on unlicensed stablecoin sales taking effect from July 18, 2028. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the rules aim to provide regulatory certainty, foster innovation, and strengthen the dollar's global role. The article's AI analysis notes parallels to the EU's MiCA framework and suggests stringent rules could push global liquidity to softer jurisdictions rather than consolidating the market under U.S. control.

US Wants to Ban Issuance and Sale of Stablecoins Without a License

A bill in the U.S. Congress proposes mandatory licensing for cryptocurrency companies. If passed, starting January 18, 2027, all stablecoin issuers would be required to obtain a federal or state license. Crypto platforms could offer customers stablecoins from foreign issuers, but only if those issuers comply with U.S. law and relevant intergovernmental agreements. Even stricter restrictions are proposed for July 18, 2028, with the Treasury Department seeking to prevent U.S. crypto exchanges and services from offering Americans stablecoins issued by entities without an official U.S. Treasury license. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated these measures aim to "secure the dollar's status as the leading global reserve currency." The draft amendments are currently in a 60-day public comment period before moving to Congress. Meanwhile, another crypto market bill, CLARITY, is stalled in the Senate due to protracted negotiations, particularly over an "ethical provision" that would ban high-ranking officials, including the U.S. President, from participating in the crypto business. To prevent a potential veto, supporters have proposed adding an amendment allowing the President a deferral on federal capital gains tax from crypto asset sales.

Washington Bans Kalshi from Offering Contracts on Sports, Elections, and Technology

The Washington State Supreme Court has prohibited the crypto-based event betting platform Kalshi from offering a wide range of event contracts to state residents, including those related to sports, elections, politics, entertainment, culture, technology, and science. Judge John McHale rejected Kalshi's argument that federal commodity market law preempts state gambling regulations. The ruling allows contracts tied to commodities, climate, economics, and financial metrics to continue but mandates Kalshi to implement geofencing measures by specific deadlines to block Washington users from accessing banned contracts. State Attorney General Nick Brown stated the action holds Kalshi accountable for operating illegal gambling. Kalshi contends that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has exclusive jurisdiction over its business. The court found the state presented sufficient grounds for its case under three state laws and that federal law does not override Washington's gambling statute. This decision reinforces a distinction: financial/commodity-based contracts remain permissible, while those on political, sports, or cultural events fall under state gambling law. The outcome depends on Kalshi's pending appeal and similar legal battles in other states, highlighting the ongoing conflict between federal derivatives regulation and state-level gambling enforcement.

UK Authorities Resume Investigation into Nigel Farage's Crypto Gifts After By-Election Victory

British politician Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, is again under investigation by the UK Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards after winning a by-election. The probe, concerning undeclared financial interests, relates to millions in donations and gifts from crypto industry figures: billionaire Christopher Harborne and convicted fraudster George Cottrell, linked to a crypto casino. The investigation was paused when Farage resigned his parliamentary seat but resumed following his re-election as MP for Clacton, where he won 63% of the vote in a contest largely boycotted by major parties. Parliamentary rules require new MPs to register financial interests. Farage initially described Cottrell’s contribution as a Brexit campaign “reward” but later termed both men's funds as unconditional "gifts." A breach of rules could lead to suspension and trigger another by-election. Meanwhile, amid the scandal, Labour MPs reportedly seek to make a temporary ban on crypto donations permanent to counter potential foreign influence.

UK authorities continue probe into Nigel Farage’s crypto ‘gifts’ after by-election win

UK authorities have resumed an investigation into Reform UK leader Nigel Farage over alleged failure to declare significant "gifts" from figures linked to the crypto industry, following his victory in a parliamentary by-election. The probe, paused after his July resignation, restarted after he was re-elected as MP for Clacton. It centers on a $6.7 million donation from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne and funding for staff and security from George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster tied to a crypto casino. Under parliamentary rules, MPs must register financial interests. Farage has described the contributions as unconditional gifts. If found in breach, he faces possible suspension, which could trigger another by-election. Separately, amid the scandal, Labour lawmakers are reportedly pushing to make a temporary ban on crypto donations permanent to curb potential foreign influence.

Russian hid 200 Bitcoin mining devices in workshops and private houses

In the Shelekhovsky district of Russia's Irkutsk region, a man has been accused of illegally mining cryptocurrency. According to investigators, from June to December of last year, he installed at least 100 mining devices in unspecified industrial premises in the city, connecting them to the power grid without paying for the electricity consumed, causing an estimated 29 million rubles in damages to the energy company. Additionally, the accused allegedly set up mining operations in private houses and outbuildings in the villages of Chistyye Klyuchi and Baklashi, deploying another 101 devices. While electricity at these locations was paid for, it was under a preferential residential tariff rather than the higher commercial rate required for cryptocurrency mining activities. This resulted in an additional calculated loss of 9 million rubles for the power supplier, bringing the total alleged damages to over 38 million rubles. During searches, law enforcement seized the mining equipment and an expensive car from the individual. The investigative committee reported that the accused has partially compensated for the damages. Notably, cryptocurrency mining has been banned across the entire Shelekhovsky district since 2025. In a separate case in Veliky Novgorod, police recently discovered nine covertly operating mining farms set up by four local residents through illegal grid connections, with damages estimated at over 18.6 million rubles.

Cryptomachine Owners Reimburse Fraud Victims $171,000

Cryptomaton operators in Arizona, following a new anti-fraud law effective September 26, 2025, have returned $171,000 to fraud victims, averaging $4,895 per victim. The law imposes transaction limits: $2,000 daily for new customers (using services under 10 days) and $10,500 for existing customers. It mandates transaction monitoring software and requires operators to refund victims who report fraud to law enforcement within 30 days. FBI data reveals significant fraud growth: Arizona residents reported 460 complaints totaling $14.5 million last year, while nationwide reports reached 13,460, with losses nearing $389 million—a 23% and 58% increase from 2024, respectively. Over half the national complaints involved victims over 50, who lost more than $302 million. Similar laws have been enacted in Colorado (effective January 1), allowing a 60-day fraud reporting window for refunds if assets were sent offshore. Conversely, Minnesota has banned cryptomatons outright, ordering their removal by December 31, citing rising financial losses among residents.

Hawaii's Cryptocurrency ATM Ban to Take Effect October 1

Hawaii is set to become the fourth U.S. state to completely ban cryptocurrency kiosks and ATMs, with the prohibition taking effect on October 1. Governor Josh Green signed the bill into law in July after it passed the state House in May. The law prohibits the possession, operation, or control of any digital financial asset transaction kiosk that exchanges U.S. currency for digital assets. The legislation cites FBI data reporting over $11 billion lost by Americans to digital asset fraud in 2025, with 826 complaints from Hawaii residents resulting in approximately $80 million in losses linked to such transactions, including through ATMs and kiosks. Hawaii follows Minnesota, Tennessee, and Indiana, which enacted similar bans earlier in 2025. Other states like Delaware and New Jersey have proposed bans, while South Dakota and Wyoming have passed laws imposing strict restrictions. According to CoinATMRadar, four major Hawaiian islands hosted 57 crypto ATMs and kiosks as of mid-week. Operators must cease operations by October 1 to avoid potential fines and other penalties.

Citi Research Report Analysis: U.S. Proposed Ban on Chinese Optical Modules Has No Substantial Progress, Short-term Enforcement Faces Supply Constraints

Citi Report Analysis: U.S. Proposed Ban on Chinese Optical Modules Lacks Substantive Progress, Faces Supply Bottlenecks in Short Term. Reuters reported on August 4th that the U.S. government and FCC are considering a ban on Chinese optical modules. Citi's August 9th report clarifies that optical modules are not listed on any effective FCC ban. The FCC's Order 26-50 established two restricted list mechanisms (based on manufacturer and production location), but optical modules were only mentioned once, as an example in a disclosure requirement, not as a restricted product. The reported ban remains at a proposal stage. Citi estimates Chinese suppliers provide 60-70% of high-speed optical modules for U.S. hyperscalers. Non-Chinese suppliers cannot fill this gap in the short term, making the immediate implementation of a genuine ban unlikely. Future regulatory paths could be manufacturer-based (least likely), location-based covering all offshore production (strictest), or location-based covering only China (more feasible but with unresolved definitions). A ban would pressure U.S. AI infrastructure, conflicting with stated policy goals. Citi sees low near-term implementation probability, with the issue potentially becoming a negotiation chip in bilateral talks. U.S. domestic capacity build-out is a key long-term variable. Among Chinese companies, XSENS and Dongshan Precision have the highest U.S. exposure, while Tianfu Communication, as a passive component supplier, is relatively insulated. Citi maintains Buy ratings on all three with respective price targets. The conclusion is that Chinese modules are currently irreplaceable in the U.S. AI supply chain, creating a longer timeline for potential restrictions than the market may expect.
