Russia introduces bill to criminalize unregistered crypto services

Russia’s government submitted a bill to its parliament’s lower house in an effort to amend the country's legal code to attach criminal liability for crypto services offered without regulatory approval or licensing.

In a draft law sent to the State Duma on Friday, Russian lawmakers proposed that entities "carrying out activities related to the organization of digital currency circulation,” that operate without a license from Russia’s central bank, could be subject to criminal liability.

Without registration with the Bank of Russia, individuals could face up to $4,000 in fines and up to four years in prison, or more severe penalties if part of an organized group.

“The same act committed by an organized group, or involving the infliction of damage or the extraction of income on a particularly large scale, would be punishable by compulsory labor for up to five years or imprisonment for up to seven years,” the bill’s text said.

The bill also proposes a “fine of up to 1 million rubles [$13,100] or an amount equal to the convicted person’s salary or other income for a period of up to five years.”

The draft law followed a package of bills initially proposed in March that included criminal penalties for illegal crypto miners, but the most recent legislation included details on fines and potential prison time for any unregistered digital asset services.

According to Russian media outlet RBC, the country’s Supreme Court said that the crypto bill lacks “reasoned justification” for criminal penalties.

The court said that the measure was “premature” until Russia enacted its “Digital Currency and Digital Rights law,” expected to go into effect in July. If the bill passes it would give Russia’s government more control and oversight over the crypto industry.

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure called for more euro-denominated stablecoins and urged EU banks to explore tokenized deposits, marking a notable policy shift in Paris.

Lescure backed Qivalis, a consortium of 12 European banks planning to launch a euro-pegged stablecoin in the second half of 2026 to counter U.S. dominance in digital payments.

His stance contrasts with earlier French and EU skepticism toward private stablecoins, which officials had previously warned could threaten monetary sovereignty and lead to the privatization of money.

#Japan's financial regulator is positioning private credit as a cornerstone of its emerging national financial strategy, responding to surging corporate funding demand driven by record-breaking merger and acquisition activity. A senior official from the Financial Services Agency (FSA) shared this direction in a recent interview, signaling a significant policy shift for one of the world's largest economies.Deputy Director-General Michinori Haba noted that while private credit markets abroad are experiencing heavy redemption pressures, Japan's domestic market remains largely untapped and ripe for development. This creates a unique opportunity for Japan to build a robust private credit ecosystem from the ground up, guided by strong governance frameworks and lessons learned from global markets. The shift is being fueled by changing corporate behavior. Rising inflation is finally pushing Japanese companies to deploy the massive cash reserves they have held for decades. Under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's investment-led growth agenda, this momentum is expected to accelerate, with the government planning to release a comprehensive new financial strategy within months aimed at diversifying capital providers and revitalizing the country's financial ecosystem.Japan's M&A landscape is a major catalyst in this transformation.

Healthier market distributionLiquidity only part of problem Advertisement In addressing unemployment caused by AI, Elon Musk has ventured into macroeconomic territory by suggesting universal high income via direct government-issued payments.Healthier market distributionHis argument is simple: even as cash distributions increase, inflationary pressure will be limited because the supply of goods and services will outpace the growth of the money supply, as AI and robotics significantly increase productivity.The cryptocurrency market is directly impacted by that idea. Liquidity dynamics will be drastically altered if widespread income distribution becomes a reality.

Ethena eyes $0.12 breakout as bullish momentum builds


Over the past few days, the Ethena ($ENA) token has recorded multiple gains in the range of 8% to 15%, lifting its price from around $0.09 to approximately $0.11.

This steady climb reflects a broader shift in short-term sentiment, with bulls gradually regaining control after weeks of weakness.

What stands out now is how price action is approaching a level that many consider decisive: $0.12.

Ethena ($ENA) bullish momentum builds

$ENA is now trading above its 20-day moving average near $0.0909 and its 50-day moving average around $0.0992.

Holding above both levels typically signals that short and medium-term momentum has turned positive.

Over a 7-day period, $ENA has gained more than 20%, with a single-day move of 15% today.

Still, the bigger picture is not fully bullish yet. $ENA remains well below its 200-day moving average, which sits close to $0.23.

This highlights the distance the asset still needs to cover before any long-term trend reversal can be confirmed.

For now, the $0.12 level has emerged as the immediate barrier.

Price has tested this zone but has not yet secured a strong close above it.

Until that happens, the rally remains in a build-up phase rather than a confirmed breakout.

Technical signals point to a possible breakout

Several technical patterns suggest that $ENA is nearing a turning point.

One of them is the formation of a “bullish gap,” created when the price jumped quickly on strong demand.

Such gaps often indicate aggressive buying, though they can also be revisited if momentum slows.

In addition, some traders are pointing to a “Power of Three” structure, a pattern that moves through accumulation, manipulation, and expansion phases.

Based on current price behaviour, $ENA appears to be transitioning into the expansion phase, where breakouts typically occur.
