This development follows an ongoing dispute over the security arrangements for the family when they visit the country. The article suggests a positive progression in the security negotiations, which is a crucial factor enabling the children's travel. A resolution to this security battle is seen as a key step toward mending family relations and facilitating a visit.

South Korea Tightens Grip On Crypto Exchanges, Imposes Bank-Level Standards

South Korea is imposing stricter regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges following a major security breach at Upbit in November 2025, where approximately $30–36 million in tokens were transferred illegally. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) and Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) are drafting new rules that would hold crypto platforms to bank-level standards, including mandatory customer compensation in cases of hacks or system failures. The move comes after 20 system failures at the top five exchanges between 2023 and 2025, affecting over 900 users. Proposed measures include stronger security requirements, regular audits, and potential fines of up to 3% of an exchange’s annual revenue for serious violations. The changes aim to enhance consumer protection and market trust, though they may increase operational costs for exchanges. The draft rules are currently under government review.

Dalio: The Global Economy Is 'Perilous' in the Next Two Years, Don't Rush to Exit AI Due to High Valuations

Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio warns that the global economy faces a precarious situation over the next one to two years due to a combination of high debt levels, domestic political conflicts, and geopolitical tensions. He notes stress in areas including private equity, venture capital, and debt refinancing. Despite identifying an AI bubble similar to the 2000 tech bubble, Dalio advises against exiting investments solely due to high prices. Instead, he emphasizes watching for concrete signals of a bubble burst, typically triggered by monetary tightening or forced asset sales. He also highlights growing financial stress in venture capital, private equity, and commercial real estate due to rising refinancing costs. Simultaneously, Dalio points to the Middle East, particularly the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as emerging global AI hubs. He compares the region’s dynamism to Silicon Valley, citing large-scale investments in AI infrastructure, talent inflow, and strong sovereign wealth support. Major projects like Google Cloud’s $10 billion deal in Saudi Arabia and the “Stargate” data center initiative in the UAE reflect the region’s strategic transformation into what Dalio calls a “Silicon Valley for capitalists.”

OCC boss says ‘no justification’ to judge banks and crypto differently

OCC Acting Comptroller Jonathan Gould stated that crypto companies seeking federal bank charters should be treated equally with traditional financial institutions, arguing there is "no justification" for differential treatment of digital assets. He emphasized that banks should not be confined to outdated technologies and noted that custody services have long been electronic. Gould revealed the OCC received 14 new bank applications this year, including from digital asset firms, nearly matching the total from the past four years. He dismissed concerns from traditional banks about crypto charters, stating such opposition risks stifling innovation, and expressed confidence in the OCC's ability to supervise crypto-native banks fairly.

CFTC pilot opens path for crypto as collateral in derivative markets

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has introduced updated guidance and a pilot program allowing futures commission merchants (FCMs) to accept Bitcoin, Ether, and USDC as collateral in derivatives trading. The initiative aims to integrate cryptocurrencies into regulated markets, enhance customer protection, reduce settlement friction through instant on-chain transfers, and improve risk management. The program includes strict reporting requirements for FCMs and withdraws outdated advisories. Industry leaders from firms like Circle, StarkWare, and Coinbase have praised the move as a significant step toward broader adoption of digital assets and more efficient, automated settlement processes in derivatives markets.

Fitch Ratings flags risk for US banks with high crypto exposure

Fitch Ratings warns that US banks with significant cryptocurrency exposure may face negative reassessments of their business models and risk profiles. While crypto integration can offer benefits like improved efficiency and new revenue streams, it also introduces reputational, liquidity, operational, and compliance risks. The agency notes that banks must adequately manage challenges such as crypto volatility, pseudonymity of owners, and security of digital assets. A downgrade from Fitch could lead to lower investor confidence and higher borrowing costs for these banks. The report also highlights systemic risks from the growing stablecoin market, which could impact the broader system and even the Treasury market if adoption expands sufficiently. Major banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America are mentioned as being involved in the sector.
