Resumo

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov announced that cryptocurrency market regulation bills will be submitted to the State Duma in the first half of 2026. The Ministry of Finance supports allowing non-qualified investors to access the crypto market through Russian platforms, but with investment limits. The Central Bank's published concept permits such investors to purchase the "most liquid" cryptocurrencies after passing a test, with an annual limit of 300,000 rubles per intermediary. Siluanov emphasized the need for clear legislation to define permissible activities and participants, as crypto transactions are occurring without regulation. The Central Bank's proposals are under government review, and it plans to introduce penalties for illegal crypto intermediary activities starting July 1, 2027, similar to those for illegal banking. Access to the digital financial assets (DFA) market will also be simplified starting in 2026.

Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated in an interview with "Russia 24" that bills regulating the cryptocurrency market will be submitted to the State Duma in the first half of 2026. According to him, the Ministry of Finance supports allowing non-qualified investors access to the cryptocurrency market through Russian platforms, but with limitations on the volume of such investments.

On December 23, the Bank of Russia published a concept for regulating the cryptocurrency and digital asset market, which, among other things, allowed "non-qualified" investors to purchase "the most liquid" cryptocurrencies, but only after passing a test and within a limit—no more than 300,000 rubles per year through a single intermediary.

Siluanov explained that transactions in cryptocurrencies are taking place, but there is no regulation, so this topic requires legislative definition: "what is allowed, what is not, and who can participate." All of this is defined in the legislative acts jointly prepared by the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, the minister added.

"I am confident that we will be able to submit these draft decisions to the State Duma in the first half of next year and will ask lawmakers to consider these draft legislative acts," said Siluanov.

The Central Bank's proposals on crypto regulation have already been submitted to the government for consideration. The regulator also plans to introduce liability for illegal activities of intermediaries in the cryptocurrency market, similar to liability for illegal banking activities, starting from July 1, 2027.

Access to the market of digital financial assets (DFAs) will also be simplified. Starting from 2026, the classification of DFAs available to qualified and non-qualified investors will change.

Bitcoin Puell Multiple Falls To 0.74 As Miner Revenue Slides

The Bitcoin Puell Multiple, an on-chain indicator that measures the ratio of daily miner revenue in USD to its 365-day moving average, has declined to a recent value of 0.74. This drop suggests that Bitcoin miners are currently earning less than 75% of their average income over the past year, primarily due to a bearish shift in the cryptocurrency's price. Historically, Bitcoin has tended to find market bottoms when miner stress is high, though the current Puell Multiple level remains above those seen at the lows of the last two major bear markets. This implies that further price declines could be necessary for a bottom to form, assuming past patterns repeat. The indicator also shows characteristic sharp drops coinciding with Bitcoin Halving events, which cut the block subsidy in half. Concurrently, Bitcoin's price has been trading sideways around $62,800.

It's Not Jensen Huang Who Wants to Change the PC, But the PC That's Revolting Against Itself

The 40-year-old PC industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation, driven by the rise of AI PCs. At the GTC Taipei 2026 event, NVIDIA, backed by Microsoft and major PC OEMs, announced the RTX Spark super chip for Windows PCs, marking its official entry into the PC core processor market. This move aims to redefine the AI PC by shifting its core from the CPU to an AI-focused SoC (System on Chip). NVIDIA envisions the PC evolving from a personal computer to a "personal AI"—a platform where local AI Agents can autonomously perform tasks. While Intel pioneered the AI PC concept earlier in 2026, NVIDIA's aggressive push, leveraging its vast CUDA developer ecosystem of 6 million, positions it to potentially reshape the industry's long-standing Wintel (Windows-Intel) power structure. NVIDIA's strategy extends beyond hardware; it's about embedding its CUDA, RTX, and AI software stack into the PC platform itself. The article identifies key shifts: 1) The move from a CPU-centric to an AI SoC-centric architecture, similar to Apple's approach with its M-series chips. 2) The PC's evolution from a human-operated tool to a platform for human-Agent collaboration. 3) The extension of NVIDIA's data center-centric CUDA ecosystem to personal devices via RTX Spark. Ultimately, the change is driven by the broader trend of AI moving to personal devices. Companies like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple are all participating in this shift. NVIDIA's entry accelerates the competition, but the core driver is the technology itself finding its optimal expression in the PC. The industry is reinventing itself, with the outcome hinging on execution, ecosystem development, and the creation of compelling local AI applications.

The U.S. SEC Wants to Dismantle a 2005 Rule, What Tokenized Stocks Are Seeing

The U.S. SEC has proposed rescinding two key rules, Rule 611 (the trade-through rule) and Rule 610(e) (restrictions on locked and crossed quotations), from the 2005 Regulation NMS. The move aims to modernize equity market structure by reducing regulatory complexity and granting trading venues and brokers more flexibility in order routing, quote display, and trade execution. The SEC argues that the highly automated, fragmented, and competitive modern market, with trends like 24/7 trading and the potential use of distributed ledger technology for tokenized securities, has diminished the necessity of these rules, which were designed to protect the best displayed prices. Their removal could lower compliance costs (estimated at $54.2-$77 million annually) and may create space for innovative trading mechanisms, including those relevant to tokenized stocks, such as smart contracts and AMMs. However, the proposal is still in the public comment phase and does not address other core challenges for tokenized securities, like custody or registration.

Ethena's Transformation and Wall Street's Anxiety

**Title: Ethena's Pivot and Wall Street's Anxiety** **Summary:** In June 2026, stablecoin protocol Ethena entered a strategic partnership with $480 billion asset manager Janus Henderson. This multi-layered deal, involving treasury integration, token investment, and planned exchange-traded products, marks Ethena's full entry into traditional finance (TradFi) and underscores Wall Street's strategic push into the stablecoin space. This move follows Ethena's significant evolution from its original "delta-neutral" model, which relied on crypto perpetual futures, to a "hybrid RWA" structure incorporating US Treasuries, corporate credit (via a Janus Henderson CLO fund), and other traditional assets. The pivot was driven by vulnerabilities exposed in its original model during a 2025 market downturn. For traditional giants like Janus Henderson, the collaboration addresses deep-seated anxieties: the pressure to participate in asset tokenization, the need to offer competitive yields in a low-rate environment, and, most critically, the fear of losing control over the financial "on-ramps" as stablecoins become a core settlement layer. The partnership exemplifies the blurring line between DeFi and TradFi, with stablecoins at the center of this convergence.
