Bybit relaunches UK platform via Archax under FCA promotion rules

Bybit is returning to the UK market after a two-year absence, launching a new platform under the FCA’s financial promotion rules via a partnership with Archax, an FCA-authorized firm. The exchange will provide spot trading on 100 pairs and a peer-to-peer service, with a strong emphasis on AML and KYC compliance. Products are tailored for the UK, excluding derivatives and leveraged offerings, and include clear risk warnings about potential losses and the lack of investor protection schemes. The move comes amid declining crypto adoption in the UK, raising questions about whether Bybit’s re-entry represents responsible innovation or regulatory arbitrage. Key operational and consumer protection details remain undisclosed.

Shanghai Headquarters of the Central Bank Issues Another Warning: Digital Yuan Scam "Traps" Evolve, How Can the Public Strengthen Their Defenses?

The People's Bank of China Shanghai Headquarters has issued a renewed warning about the rise of sophisticated scams exploiting the name of the digital yuan (e-CNY). Fraudsters are luring victims through social media and短视频 platforms with fake recruitment ads for "official digital yuan promotion agents," promising high returns like "exchange subsidies" and "commission rebates." These criminal operations use well-organized online groups, fake official documents, and fraudulent "training sessions" to convince targets to convert funds into digital yuan and deposit them into controlled wallets. The central bank emphasized that the digital yuan is a legal tender meant for payments, has no investment or speculative value, and warned the public to avoid high-return promises, referral schemes, unknown links, and unsolicited group invitations. The scams thrive on public misconceptions: confusing the state-backed digital currency with speculative cryptocurrencies, misunderstanding its official two-tier operating structure (PBOC → authorized banks), and misinterpreting technical features like programmability as investment opportunities. Authorities have responded with precise public guidance—the "Four Don’ts"—and enhanced inter-department coordination. Beyond combating fraud, the note highlights the digital yuan’s strategic role as a compliant foundation for future digital asset ecosystems, particularly in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), where it could enable efficient, transparent, and regulated transactions. Maintaining public trust is crucial for its long-term adoption and integration into the real economy.

Dialogue with Gate Founder Han Lin: Optimistic About 2026, and Why He Believes 'We Won't Return to a Deep Bear Market'

In a recent interview, Gate.io founder Lin Han shared his optimistic outlook on the crypto market, macroeconomic trends, and the evolving regulatory and technological landscape. He argued that the market is unlikely to return to a severe bear phase, citing strong macroeconomic conditions, expected monetary easing, and sustained institutional interest. While acknowledging potential risks like an AI sector correction, he emphasized that AI's tangible applications differentiate it from past tech bubbles. Han discussed the minimal impact of the recent October 11 market crash, attributing market resilience to ample stablecoin liquidity. He highlighted the industry-wide adoption of Proof of Reserves (PoR) post-FTX, advocating for enhanced methods incorporating zero-knowledge proofs and third-party audits. On emerging trends, he noted the resurgence of privacy-focused protocols like Zcash and the rapid growth of Perpetual DEXs (e.g., Hyperliquid), driven by improved blockchain infrastructure, lower costs, and better wallet experiences. He anticipates increased regulatory scrutiny on DeFi platforms in the future. Regarding Gate.io's strategy, Han emphasized a dual focus: expanding its Web3 ecosystem, as user activity migrates on-chain, and strengthening its global compliant exchanges, including its recently launched U.S. platform. He ruled out aggressive layoffs, reflecting Gate's consistent operational approach, and expressed long-term ambitions for a public listing following continued compliance efforts. He dismissed DATs (Digital Asset Trusts) as unsustainable and commented on the challenges of new stablecoin issuance due to strong network effects favoring incumbents like USDT. Finally, he addressed market manipulation concerns, noting improved exchange risk controls, and defended Gate's remote-work culture as aligned with the fast-paced, global nature of the crypto industry.

From Doubao Dispute to Big Tech Game: Decoding the Legal Compliance Dilemma of AI Phones

"From Doubao Controversy to Tech Giant Standoff: Decoding the Legal Compliance Dilemma of AI Phones" A recent user experience with AI-powered smartphones has triggered significant tension between AI developers and major internet platforms. Certain phones equipped with AI assistants, when attempting to perform automated actions like sending WeChat red packets or placing e-commerce orders via voice commands, were flagged by platforms for "suspected use of third-party plugins," leading to risk warnings and even account restrictions. This incident, while appearing to be a technical compatibility issue, reveals a deeper structural conflict over "who has the right to operate the phone and control user access." On one side are smartphone manufacturers and AI teams aiming to deeply integrate AI into operating systems for "seamless interaction." On the other are internet platforms whose business models rely on controlling app entry points, user pathways, and data ecosystems. This clash represents a fundamental challenge to the "walled garden" business model central to platforms like Tencent and Alibaba. The system-level AI assistant threatens this model in three key ways: it bypasses the need to click app icons (undermining ad revenue and user attention economies), potentially accesses platform data and content without formal interfaces (a "free-riding" concern), and shifts the role of "gatekeeper" for traffic distribution away from the super apps themselves. From a legal perspective, this conflict highlights four major risk areas: 1. **Competition Law:** AI's "simulated clicks" could be deemed unauthorized interference with software operation, potentially constituting unfair competition if they skip ads or bypass verification steps. 2. **Data Security:** For the AI to "see" screen content and execute commands, it processes sensitive personal data (chats, account info), raising significant questions under China's Personal Information Protection Law regarding valid user consent and the "minimum necessity" principle. 3. **Antitrust Issues:** Future disputes may center on whether dominant platforms, arguably essential facilities, can justifiably refuse AI access, or if such refusal constitutes an abuse of market power that stifles innovation. 4. **User Liability:** Questions arise regarding who is responsible if the AI makes an error (e.g., buys the wrong product) or if a user's account is suspended due to AI activity, potentially leading to consumer claims against phone manufacturers. This friction underscores a transition from an app-centric internet to an AI-agent-driven experience. The current legal framework struggles to address the integration of general AI. The sustainable solution likely lies not in technical workarounds like "simulated clicks," but in developing standardized protocols for AI interaction, balancing innovation with clear legal and compliance boundaries.

Digital Wallets Surge, While Regulators Play Catch-Up'

Digital wallets are rapidly evolving beyond simple payment tools to encompass lending, investments, crypto assets, digital IDs, and virtual cards, while regulators struggle to keep pace with outdated rules. In the U.S., PayPal (32%), Cash App (25%), and Apple Pay (20%) lead the market, with 77% of adults using at least one major wallet. The CFPB attempted to impose stricter oversight on large non-bank payment providers like Google, Apple, and PayPal through a 2023 proposal, but it was overturned by Congress and President Trump in 2025. Despite this, digital wallets remain subject to a complex web of state and federal regulations, including money transmission licensing, Reg E, UDAAP rules, and FinCEN requirements. Experts warn that inconsistent enforcement and expanding wallet functionalities create compliance challenges, and a loss of consumer trust could trigger renewed regulatory pressure. Key issues include unclear user protections, reliance on banking partners, and potential state-level enforcement if federal oversight weakens.

Why the ‘great China Bitcoin mining crackdown’ fell short of early claims

Recent reports of a major Bitcoin mining crackdown in China’s Xinjiang region were overstated, according to data from TheMinerMag. While a short-term hashrate decline occurred, the net loss was around 20 EH/s—far less than initial claims of 100 EH/s. Major mining pools recovered within days, indicating a temporary disruption rather than a sustained shutdown. Notably, the largest hashrate drops came from North American pools like Foundry USA. The incident, linked to operational or compliance issues rather than a coordinated crackdown, highlights that China still accounts for an estimated 15–20% of global Bitcoin mining activity despite the 2021 ban.
