CFTC Chair Selig Establishes Innovation Committee to Strengthen Digital Asset and Prediction Market Regulation

According to The Block, new U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig announced on January 12 the renaming of the Technology Advisory Committee to the Innovation Advisory Committee and plans to appoint members of the CEO Innovation Committee as charter members. This committee will include industry leaders such as Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour, and Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss.

Selig stated: "Innovators are using technologies like AI, blockchain, and cloud computing to modernize traditional financial systems and build entirely new ones. Under my leadership, the committee will develop fit-for-purpose market structure regulations for new frontiers in finance."

Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams Announces Launch of "NYC Token"

According to Fortune, former New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced after leaving office the launch of a cryptocurrency called "NYC Token," stating the project aims to raise funds to combat anti-Semitism, anti-American sentiment, and promote blockchain education for children. Adams introduced the token in Times Square but did not disclose partners, issuance timing, fund usage, or specific mechanisms, only stating that ordinary New Yorkers can participate in the investment. Adams strongly supported the crypto industry during his tenure but also faced controversy over ethics and conflict of interest issues. New Mayor Zohran Mamdani has explicitly stated he will not purchase the token.

Dubai to Ban Privacy Tokens and Tighten Stablecoin Regulations, New Regulatory Framework Effective January 12

According to CoinDesk, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has completely banned privacy tokens in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), citing incompatibility with global compliance standards and risks related to money laundering and sanction compliance.

The updated crypto token regulatory framework, effective January 12, shifts token approval responsibility to businesses and tightens the definition of stablecoins. The DFSA limits the "fiat crypto token" category to tokens pegged to fiat currency and backed by high-quality liquid assets, capable of meeting redemption demands during market stress. Algorithmic stablecoins like Ethena are not considered stablecoins under the DIFC framework but are classified as crypto tokens.

DFSA Deputy Director of Policy & Legal, Elizabeth Wallace, stated that privacy tokens have features that hide transaction history and holders, making it nearly impossible for businesses to comply with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requirements. The new rules also prohibit regulated firms from using or providing privacy tools like mixers or tumblers that obscure transaction details.

South Korea Ends Nine-Year Corporate Crypto Ban, Allows 5% Equity Investment in Top 20 Cryptocurrencies

According to Be in Crypto, South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) has officially approved listed companies and professional investors to invest up to 5% of their equity annually in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap, ending a ban in place since 2017. Approximately 3,500 eligible entities will be permitted market access.

Bloomberg: WLFI Crypto Lending Platform Named "World Liberty Markets," Supports ETH, USD1, USDT, etc.

According to Bloomberg, the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty Financial has launched a platform allowing users to lend digital assets to each other, named "World Liberty Markets." The service will officially launch on Monday. In addition to Ethereum, stablecoins USDC and USDT, it will also support the company's own token WLFI and stablecoin USD1.

Bloomberg: Standard Chartered Plans to Establish Crypto Custody Brokerage Services

According to Bloomberg, Standard Chartered plans to establish cryptocurrency custody brokerage services to strengthen its competitiveness in the digital asset space.

Sources reveal that the London-based bank will set up this new business within its wholly-owned venture capital arm, SC Ventures. Placing the new business within SC Ventures may help Standard Chartered avoid the strict capital requirements for digital assets in its corporate and investment bank.

BitGo Plans US IPO, Aims to Raise Up to $201 Million

According to Reuters, crypto asset custody startup BitGo stated in a regulatory filing on Monday that it plans to raise up to $201 million in a US Initial Public Offering (IPO).

BitMine: Will Slow ETH Accumulation Speed Without Shareholder Approval

According to CoinDesk, BitMine company chairman Thomas Lee stated on Monday that BitMine's ability to continue accumulating ETH depends on whether shareholders approve the issuance of new shares. Without approval, the company may be forced to slow its purchasing pace in the coming weeks. Lee explained: "BitMine is about to exhaust its current authorization of 500 million shares, at which point our ETH accumulation will slow down." A related shareholder vote is scheduled for this Thursday, and the proposal requires support from 50.1% of the issued shares to pass.

7 Months After the Collapse of Huiwang, Southeast Asia's Escrow Platforms Undergo a Major Reshuffle

Following the collapse of Huione Pay—dubbed the "Alipay of Southeast Asia"—seven months ago, the region's underground financial guarantee platform sector is undergoing a significant reshuffle. This power vacuum has been swiftly filled by emerging platforms such as XinBi, Tiger/Navigator, JinBei (renamed JinBo), Dali/Tiancheng, and FullyLight. These platforms, operating largely via Telegram and offering services like escrow for illicit transactions, have absorbed the vast user base and markets left behind by Huione. While positioning themselves as "trust intermediaries," their primary clientele consists of networks involved in online scams, money laundering, illegal gambling, and even human trafficking. For instance, the Tiger/Navigator platform explicitly provides "escrow" services for kidnapping-for-ransom operations ("强押车交易"). Data underscores the immense scale: Huione alone processed over $103 billion in cryptocurrency payments and facilitated over $31 billion through its escrow market before its downfall, linking it to Cambodia's notorious Prince Group. Since its collapse, competitors have seen explosive growth. For example, the XinBi platform has accumulated over $1.6 billion in total USDT revenue, while platforms like NewPay, OkPay (under Dali), and FullyLight Wallet collectively processed over $4.8 billion in USDT in a single year. This ecosystem thrives in regions like Cambodia and Myanmar, where regulatory gaps allow these platforms to act as critical financial infrastructure for sprawling cybercrime industries, from scam compounds to online casinos. The article concludes that the moniker "Southeast Asian Alipay" is a misnomer, obscuring the platforms' fundamental role in enabling serious criminal enterprises rather than representing legitimate financial innovation.

The Changing Landscape: What Are Crypto VCs Experiencing?

Title: The Shifting Landscape of Crypto Venture Capital The era of dedicated crypto venture capital funds is undergoing a significant transformation. Once essential for navigating the sector's complexity and high risk, these specialized funds are now facing an identity crisis as the market matures. This shift mirrors historical patterns in other specialized investment classes like cleantech and SPACs, where initial information advantages dissipate as technologies become mainstream and integrated into existing industry frameworks. The article argues that crypto is reaching a critical inflection point, transitioning from a "building phase" to an "integration phase." Major players like Stripe, BlackRock, and Visa now engage with crypto not for its novel mechanics but as a foundational financial infrastructure. Their needs—regulatory compliance, banking partnerships, distribution channels—align with traditional fintech, a domain easily understood by large, generalist funds like Sequoia and Founders Fund. This evolution creates a "barbell effect" within the VC landscape. On one end are massive, diversified platforms that can incorporate crypto as one vertical among many. On the other are small, nimble funds focused on niche, experimental projects. The middle ground—medium-sized dedicated crypto funds—is being squeezed out. Their typical fund size makes it impossible to generate sufficient returns solely from early-stage crypto bets, yet they cannot compete with giants for later-stage deals. Consequently, leading crypto-native firms like Paradigm and Framework Ventures are expanding into AI, robotics, and other sectors, driven partly by LP pressure for better returns amid a broader VC DPI crisis. Others, like Dragonfly and a16z, have narrowed their crypto focus predominantly to financial infrastructure like stablecoins, reframing the sector's core narrative. For crypto entrepreneurs, this consolidation presents challenges. While generalist funds offer larger checks and broader resources, crypto projects now compete fiercely with AI for attention and capital within these firms. Furthermore, the long-term, non-commercial foundational work that built the ecosystem—funded by dedicated crypto VCs—is less likely to attract generalist capital focused on direct returns. The conclusion is that "crypto investor" as a standalone category is becoming obsolete, akin to "internet investor." Crypto is becoming a baseline infrastructure layer. The future will see a barbell structure: large-scale growth financing handled by generalist funds, while pioneering, speculative projects are funded by small, specialized vehicles. The dedicated crypto funds of the 2017-2021 boom, which incubated core infrastructure, are giving way to this new, bifurcated reality.

As Consensus Accelerates, What Are Young Investors Betting On?

Title: As Consensus Forms Faster, What Are Young Investors Betting On? In the rapid evolution of tech investment, a new generation of young investors is navigating a landscape where AI, robotics, commercial aerospace, and quantum computing are advancing simultaneously. Traditional investment logic based on financial models is giving way to a need for deep technical understanding and the ability to act before industry consensus forms. An analysis of trends from the "WAIC FUTURE TECH" list of young investment leaders reveals key shifts in focus. The first major trend is the movement of AI from the digital screen into the physical world. Investment is shifting from large language models and chatbots towards embodied AI, robotics, AI hardware, and edge computing. While demonstrations generate excitement, the real challenge lies in achieving scalable, reliable, and cost-effective delivery in complex real-world environments like factories and logistics. Success depends not just on algorithms but on the integration of sensors, actuators, and control systems. Second, the competitive focus for large models is moving beyond raw capability toward building an "intelligence flywheel." The goal is to create self-reinforcing systems where user interaction generates data, improving the model, which in turn enhances the user experience and attracts more engagement. Companies that successfully embed AI into workflows to create these closed-loop systems can build lasting value that isn't easily erased by the next model upgrade. Third, facing a potential bottleneck in high-quality human-generated data, investors are looking at new underlying technologies. Reinforcement learning and self-play, as demonstrated by AlphaGo Zero, offer paths for AI to generate its own experience. Scientific foundation models, which aim to build general AI capabilities for fields like life sciences and materials discovery, represent a non-consensus direction that could unlock new frontiers of knowledge and data. Finally, in deep-tech areas like quantum computing, commercial aerospace, and space-based infrastructure, patient capital is essential. These fields have long, uncertain development and validation cycles involving complex engineering, supply chains, and regulations. Investment here requires a long-term view, focusing on foundational team capabilities and the eventual emergence of market demand, even if commercial returns are distant. Collectively, these trends illustrate how young investors are adapting to a new era. They are learning to make earlier, technically-informed judgments, balance hype with real-world viability, and provide the patient capital needed to build the deep-tech foundations of the future.

Unlocking $100 Million in Liquidity? Pump.fun's New Policy Tests the 5-Minute Pump Technique

Foresight News, July 21 – Pump.fun has launched its new "BOOST" mode as the standard launch mechanism for new tokens. The core of BOOST is to address the issue of "dead liquidity." Historically, when a token migrates from its bonding curve to a liquidity pool, roughly 20% of its liquidity becomes permanently locked and unusable, a problem the platform estimates costs over $100 million annually. The new mechanism redirects this 20% of funds, which would have been locked, to instead be used for a 5-minute Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) buyback of the token immediately after migration. The purchased tokens are then permanently burned. For example, this means reserving 17.6 SOL for SOL pairs or about $2516 for USDC pairs at migration. This creates a short-term buying pressure and reduces the token's supply. The goal is to improve the immediate post-launch performance of memecoins, potentially increasing trader retention and transaction volume on the platform. However, critics warn this could lower the bar for token launches, encouraging low-quality projects, and that the brief 5-minute buy pressure might lead to sharper price crashes once it ends if followed by large sell-offs.

What Signals Can Be Read from the Trading Data of India's Largest Asset Manager SBI's IPO?

India's largest asset manager, SBI Funds Management, successfully listed on July 21 with a nearly $10 billion IPO, attracting approximately 42 times subscription. However, the first-day closing price rose only about 6.3%, falling short of the 16% premium anticipated in the grey market. This signals robust demand for core Indian financial assets but also disciplined pricing, indicating the IPO market is selectively open for strong brands with clear growth narratives. The low reported underwriting fees, which led some global banks to reduce participation, highlight a shift in pricing power towards powerful issuers like SBI. Its strong brand, banking parent, and stable cash flows reduced reliance on traditional investment banking sales channels, with local brokers playing a larger role. This fee dynamic may not be replicable for weaker issuers. SBI's performance is seen as a key test for India's IPO pipeline, including potential future large listings like Reliance Jio and NSE. Its success with tempered gains sets a new price anchor: high-quality assets can launch, but excessive valuation premiums are constrained. The true measure of a sustained market reopening will be whether subsequent major offerings can proceed smoothly at reasonable valuations.
