TRM Labs doubles valuation to $2B in Series C expansion

Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs has doubled its valuation to $2 billion in a Series C funding round expansion led by Blockchain Capital. The company, whose annual recurring revenue has quadrupled in three years, provides investigation software used by over 600 agencies globally. This follows a $70 million Series C in February that first pushed its valuation over $1 billion. TRM's AI tools combat fraud, money laundering, and digital crime, which have seen significant increases according to recent data. The new valuation comes shortly after TRM secured a $95 million contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a decision later challenged in court by rival Chainalysis.

Why Did Zcash Price Soar 43%? A Comprehensive Analysis of ZEC Spot ETF Capital Inflow and Token Concentration

Zcash (ZEC) surged over 43% in seven days, defying broader crypto market weakness. The primary driver was the Grayscale Zcash ETF (ZCSH) launching on NYSE Arca. Within two weeks, its assets under management exceeded $500 million, attracting over $70 million in net inflows and a $100 million in-kind token purchase. The ETF now holds over 550,000 ZEC, locking up roughly 3% of the circulating supply. This rapid institutional accumulation, combined with Zcash's fixed 21 million coin supply cap (similar to Bitcoin), created a significant supply squeeze. The rally was further supported by a record high of over 4.86 million ZEC held in the network's shielded (private) pool, indicating strong holder commitment. However, technical indicators show the asset is overbought, posing a risk of a short-term correction, especially if Bitcoin remains volatile around the $78,000 level or ETF inflows slow.

Central Bank of Italy Orders Checks on Crypto Transfers for Sanction Risks

The Central Bank of Italy (Banca d'Italia) has ordered that crypto transfers must be screened for sanctions risks to help curb illegal fund flows into the EU. Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs) must implement policies and internal controls to ensure compliance with EU financial sanctions when processing crypto transactions. The directive aims to identify clients and transactions linked to sanctioned entities. This move addresses the increasing use of cryptocurrencies by Iranian and Russian organizations to circumvent financial sanctions. For example, a Russian ruble-backed stablecoin processed around $110 billion in transactions over a 15-month period despite Western sanctions. Iran's central bank has reportedly eased currency controls to encourage using cryptocurrencies like USDT and Bitcoin for cross-border settlements via local exchanges to bypass sanctions. In related developments, the US Treasury froze over $130 million in cryptocurrency linked to Iran's central bank in July, and blockchain analysis revealed over $3.8 billion in flows between the CoinEx exchange and sanctioned Iranian entities over seven years.

TRX ETF Lands on Chicago Exchange, Tron's Global Compliance Achieves Another Milestone

TRX ETF to List on Chicago Board Options Exchange, Marking a New Milestone in Tron's Global Compliance On September 8, Tron founder Justin Sun announced on X that the Canary Staked TRX ETF (ticker: TRXS) is set to list on the U.S. Cboe BZX Exchange on September 9, 2026. This follows Tron Inc.'s Nasdaq listing, providing TRX with another major entry point into mainstream U.S. securities markets. Sun described this as forming a "dual-engine" structure of "listed company + ETF" for the Tron ecosystem. The TRXS ETF is designed not only to track TRX's price but also to participate in on-chain staking on the Tron network. According to its SEC filing, the fund aims to stake substantially all eligible TRX holdings. Staking rewards, after deducting an estimated 20% service fee, will accrue to the fund's net asset value. This integrates Tron's native staking mechanism into a traditional financial product for the first time. Beyond capital markets, Tron's on-chain metrics have reached new highs. The network surpassed 4 billion total accounts on August 23, 2026, with cumulative transactions exceeding 15.4 billion. It has also become the largest issuance network for USDT, with a supply of $942 billion on its blockchain. Daily USDT transfer volume on Tron averages around $25 billion, underscoring its role as a leading settlement layer for stablecoins. Concurrently, Tron's affiliated AI platform, B.AI, is experiencing rapid growth. As of early September, its user base exceeded 2.4 million, with daily token throughput surpassing 1 trillion. This growth highlights potential future synergies between AI Agent commercialization and Tron's efficient, stablecoin-based payment infrastructure. The listing of the TRXS ETF represents a significant step in broadening TRX's accessibility to traditional investors and advancing the Tron ecosystem's institutionalization and global expansion.

CARF: What to Report? An Interpretation of Reportable Information and Local Implementation Differences

The OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) defines the information that Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Providers (RCASPs) must disclose annually. This report consists of three core data types: information about the RCASP itself, details on reportable users (including entity controllers), and aggregated transaction data for relevant crypto-assets (excluding certain types like CBDCs). Transaction categories include acquisitions/disposals for fiat or other crypto-assets, reportable retail payments, transfers, and transfers to unknown wallets. However, as jurisdictions implement CARF into local law, key differences from the OECD standard emerge. Variations include whether domestic tax residents must be reported (e.g., UK and New Zealand require it; Japan and Singapore typically do not), the local currency used for reporting valuations, thresholds for retail payment transactions (e.g., 500,000 yen in Japan), specific reporting field requirements (e.g., birthplaces, Tax Identification Number formats), and rules for nil returns. For compliance, RCASPs must integrate CARF's tax due diligence into existing KYC/AML processes, establish consistent fiat conversion and valuation mechanisms, and meticulously track jurisdictional implementation rules, as local adaptations will dictate the final data submitted to tax authorities.

How to Check a Cryptocurrency Exchange in 2026. What's Important to Consider

How to Verify a Cryptocurrency Exchange in 2026: Key Points to Consider Following Russia's new law on cryptocurrency circulation enacted on September 1, a transitional period is in effect until July 1, 2027, requiring crypto transactions to be conducted through regulated intermediaries. Until that date, verifying an exchange's legal status is challenging, but after July 2027, users can check the official Central Bank registry or relevant Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) websites. When performing a technical site check, ensure you access the exchange only via official links from trusted monitoring services. Verify the domain's authenticity, age using WHOIS services, and that the site uses a valid HTTPS certificate. Be wary of spelling errors, machine translations, or broken sections. Check the exchange's reputation, including its operational history, volume of reviews, and complaint history. During the transitional period, the absence of a new license does not automatically indicate illegality. Before trading, calculate the real exchange rate by considering all fees and transaction costs. Always verify payment recipient details and avoid transfers to random individual cards. Keep full records of all transaction details.

Australia Revoked 45 Registrations of Cryptocurrency and Money Transfer Services in a Year

The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) cancelled, suspended, or refused to renew 45 registrations of cryptocurrency and money transfer service providers over the past year. This regulatory action targeted entities that were non-operational, insolvent, lacked operational capabilities, failed to report significant changes, had incorrect registrations, or posed high risks of money laundering or terrorism financing. AUSTRAC's CEO, Brendan Thomas, stated these companies can no longer operate, with some cases referred to law enforcement. Notably, the regulator highlighted the case of BA Digital Ventures (trading as GetCoins), whose registration was revoked in June following customer complaints and its alleged use in organized crypto investment scams. Other named entities facing recent action include Cryptolink, Self Custody, Jam Xchange, and Coinsec Australia. AUSTRAC did not provide a full list or a breakdown between crypto and money transfer providers. Additionally, the regulator has commenced an investigation into Western Union and suspended the crypto ATM network Cryptolink.

AUSTRAC's CEO stated canceled businesses can no longer operate, with some individuals referred to law enforcement. One named example is BA Digital Ventures (trading as GetCoins), whose registration was canceled after being allegedly exploited by organized crypto investment scams. While a full list wasn't provided, other public actions involve Cryptolink, Self Custody, Jam Xchange, and Coinsec Australia.

Brazilian Banks Sell Cryptocurrency to Their Clients Without Disclosing It in Their Financial Statements

Major Brazilian banks such as Itaú, Nubank, and Banco do Brasil have integrated cryptocurrencies into their consumer platforms, allowing clients to purchase various digital assets. However, official filings indicate these banks are not carrying these volatile assets on their own balance sheets as of March 2026. This strategy allows them to offer crypto products without exposing themselves to associated risks. Brazil's regulatory framework, established by Law No. 14478 and subsequent BCB resolutions, sets capital, governance, and consumer protection requirements for virtual asset service providers (VASPs). Notably, Resolution 520 allows qualified banks to enter the crypto market swiftly via a streamlined approval process. The Brazilian crypto market has expanded rapidly, with transaction volume growing over fivefold between 2020 and 2025. Stablecoins, primarily USDT, dominate this activity, accounting for roughly 80% of the 2025 transaction volume. This trend makes Brazil a key case study for how banks can facilitate crypto access—particularly for stablecoin payments and dollar-denominated assets—without holding the underlying cryptocurrencies, thereby testing a model that could insulate traditional finance from crypto volatility.

Arbitrum Proposal Seeks To Exclude Three DeFi Projects From Future Grants

A new Arbitrum governance proposal is in the discussion phase, seeking to exclude three unnamed DeFi projects from future grant allocations. The proposal cites alleged failures in reporting and misuse of previously granted incentives. This action highlights a growing emphasis on accountability within the Arbitrum DAO regarding its grant programs, which are crucial for ecosystem growth. The proposal is not a final decision, and the process allows for project responses and delegate debate. It signals a maturing approach to treasury management, focusing on ensuring grants yield durable results rather than temporary activity. The broader context is a crypto market increasingly scrutinizing the effectiveness of incentive spending.
