China Bans Unauthorised Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins Overseas

China's regulators, led by the People's Bank of China (PBOC), have prohibited the unauthorized issuance of yuan-pegged stablecoins overseas and expanded the ban to include real-world assets linked to the currency. The joint statement, issued with seven government agencies, forbids both domestic and foreign entities from issuing such stablecoins without official approval. Authorities warn that these tokens mimic monetary functions and threaten monetary sovereignty, while unregulated circulation could undermine the yuan's stability. The ban also targets services related to tokenized financial assets, such as blockchain-based bonds or equities. This move reinforces China's 2021 crypto trading ban and aligns with its strategy to suppress private digital currencies while promoting the state-backed digital yuan (e-CNY).

Coinbase Accuses Australian Banks of Unlawful Regulatory Ban as Maxi Doge Pumps

Coinbase has accused major Australian banks of imposing an unlawful "shadow ban" on crypto transfers, effectively de-banking users under the guise of scam prevention. This has created barriers for retail investors moving fiat into crypto, driving interest in on-chain assets like meme coins. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is highlighted as a leading project capitalizing on this trend, promoting a "Leverage King" culture with trading competitions and staking rewards. The token has attracted significant whale activity, with two purchases totalling $503K, and has raised $4.5M in its ongoing presale. Priced at $0.0002802, it offers dynamic APY staking and aims to avoid typical pump-and-dump cycles.

Coinbase UK Ads Crossed A Line—Here’s What Regulators Said

Coinbase's advertising campaign in the UK has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for trivializing investment risks and failing to provide adequate risk warnings. The campaign, which included a satirical musical-style video and posters, linked crypto investment to solving real-world financial pressures like the cost of living crisis. The ASA ruled that this approach misleadingly presented a complex, high-risk product as a simple solution. Clearcast, the UK’s TV ad vetting body, had already refused to approve the video due to missing risk disclaimers. Coinbase defended the ads as social commentary, but regulators upheld the decision, reflecting broader efforts to tighten rules on financial promotions—especially in crypto, where ads must clearly communicate volatility and potential risks.

UK Regulator Restricts Coinbase Ad for Downplaying Crypto Risks

The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has restricted a Coinbase advertising campaign for downplaying the risks of cryptocurrency investing and for presenting the exchange as a solution to the country's cost-of-living crisis. The 2-minute video ad, which used satirical musical scenes of citizens singing "everything is fine" amidst a collapsing city, was deemed irresponsible. The ASA stated that using humor to address serious financial concerns risked portraying high-risk crypto products as a simple solution. The ad, which was rejected by TV ad clearance body Clearcast, was widely circulated on posters in high-traffic areas like the London Underground. The regulator noted the ads lacked required risk warnings. Coinbase defended the campaign, stating it was intended to spark discussion about the financial system and was not meant to provide simplistic solutions or mislead viewers.

Monero, Zcash, And Dash Prohibited In India Amid Money-Laundering Crackdown

India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) has prohibited privacy-focused cryptocurrencies Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash (DASH) in a new anti-money laundering crackdown. The directive orders all registered crypto exchanges in the country to immediately suspend deposits, withdrawals, and trading for these assets, citing their advanced cryptographic features that obscure transaction details and user identities. Regulators argue these privacy tools hinder compliance with KYC and anti-money laundering obligations, posing elevated risks for illicit financing. While the three coins showed short-term price gains following the announcement, they remain significantly down over the past week. This action is part of India's broader regulatory effort, which previously targeted unregistered offshore exchanges.

The End of the 'Talk-to-Earn' Era? X Delivers Heavy Blow, Bans InfoFi, Cutting Off Funding for a Batch of Projects

On January 15, X (formerly Twitter) revoked API access for InfoFi applications, effectively ending the "post-to-earn" model. The platform cited concerns over AI-generated spam and low-quality replies as the reason for the policy change, prioritizing user experience over the significant revenue these apps generated. Major InfoFi platforms like Kaito and Cookie DAO are now pivoting to alternative models, such as content marketing tools and market intelligence services. The move triggered sharp declines in related token values and NFT floor prices, with some teams accused of insider trading prior to the announcement. The crackdown is seen as a necessary step to combat spam and improve content quality on the platform, though it also reflects broader challenges in the crypto content ecosystem.

X Personally Terminates InfoFi Incentive Model, The Era of 'Mouth Farming' Comes to an End

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has officially terminated the API access for InfoFi applications that reward users for posting, effectively ending the "post-to-earn" model. This decisive move, announced by X product lead Nikita Bier, targets what the company identifies as a primary source of AI-generated spam and low-quality replies flooding the platform. The policy shift immediately impacted several prominent InfoFi projects. Tokens like KAITO and COOKIE experienced significant double-digit price drops. Projects such as Cookie DAO's Snaps platform have ceased operations, while Kaito has shut down its Yaps incentive program and is pivoting to a new, more traditional creator marketing model called Kaito Studio. X's core objection was not to the content itself, but to the fundamental structure of external, unpermissioned incentives directly driving platform engagement. This model was seen as compromising content quality and, crucially, undermining X's sovereignty over its own content ecosystem and user experience. The platform emphasized that it does not need the revenue generated from these API fees. The event signals a major recalibration, forcing InfoFi projects to either retreat to a pure data/tooling role or completely reinvent their business models to align with platform policies. The era of easily farming rewards for social media posts ("嘴撸时代") is over, as content control is firmly reclaimed by the platform itself.

UK Lawmakers Push to Ban Crypto Donations Over Transparency and Foreign Influence Risks

A group of seven senior UK Labour MPs is urging Prime Minister to ban cryptocurrency donations to political parties, citing three major risks: a lack of transparency that hides donor identities, the potential for foreign interference, and the ability to bypass donation limits by splitting payments. Although the government acknowledges these dangers, it considers an immediate ban too complex to implement and may not include it in the upcoming election bill. The issue gained urgency after Reform UK became the first party to accept crypto donations, including a large fiat donation from a crypto investor, raising concerns about crypto wealth influencing politics. The push for a ban is growing to protect trust in elections and uphold financial rules.

Nibbling Away at a Hundred-Billion-Dollar Gambling Cake, Prediction Markets Face Bans from Multiple States

Prediction markets are facing regulatory crackdowns in multiple U.S. states, with Tennessee’s Sports Wagering Council (SWC) recently issuing cease-and-desist orders to platforms including Kalshi, Polymarket, and Crypto.com. These platforms, though registered with the CFTC as designated contract markets, are accused of offering illegal sports betting products without state licensing. They must halt operations in Tennessee by January 31 or face penalties. The conflict stems from the rapid growth of both the legal U.S. sports betting market—which reached $148.7 billion in handle in 2024—and prediction markets, which saw trading volume surge to $40 billion in 2025, up 400% year-over-year. Sports-related event contracts now dominate prediction market activity. While sports betting is regulated at the state level, prediction markets subject to federal oversight argue they offer “event contracts” rather than gambling, creating a regulatory loophole. This has led to legal battles in several states, including Nevada, New Jersey, and Maryland, with mixed court rulings so far. The outcome of ongoing appeals could set a national precedent, determining whether prediction markets must comply with state gambling regulations or can operate under federal rules alone.

Dubai Bans Privacy Tokens and Tightens Stablecoin Rules to Strengthen Crypto Compliance

Dubai's Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has updated its crypto regulations, imposing a ban on privacy tokens and introducing stricter stablecoin rules within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Effective January 12, the ban prohibits trading, promoting, or using privacy tokens in funds to enhance compliance, reduce anonymity, and ensure accountability. The DFSA stated that privacy tokens, which obscure transaction details and wallet ownership, pose significant money laundering and sanctions evasion risks. Additionally, the DFSA tightened stablecoin regulations, permitting only fiat-backed stablecoins with high-quality, liquid reserves to be recognized as stablecoins. Algorithmic stablecoins will not be banned but will be classified as regular crypto tokens to mitigate risks during market stress. The DFSA also eliminated its official list of approved tokens, shifting responsibility to crypto firms to assess token suitability, with regulators conducting audits and enforcing compliance afterward. These changes align Dubai with stricter regulatory approaches seen in the U.S. and Hong Kong, positioning it as a compliance-focused crypto hub.
