New York town weighs crypto mining and AI data center ban

The town of Plattsburgh, New York, held a public hearing to consider a 12-month moratorium on new "high energy computing facilities," specifically targeting cryptocurrency mining and artificial intelligence data centers. The proposed law would temporarily halt approvals for operations requiring 300 kilowatts or more of power. Plattsburgh has a history with such bans, having implemented an 18-month moratorium on Bitcoin mining in 2018 due to resident concerns over electricity costs. The mayor had not approved the new moratorium as of a recent report, with another council meeting scheduled for September 17. The move comes as many crypto mining firms are shifting operations toward AI and high-performance computing amid industry challenges.

UK Financial Regulator Considering Lifting Ban on Prediction Markets: Media

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is reportedly considering relaxing a 2019 ban that prevents UK-based retail investors from trading on prediction market platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. These markets offer binary options contracts on events in sports, politics, and weather, which the FCA had previously categorized as "gambling products masquerading as financial instruments." The review follows reports that UK retail investors have been using VPNs to bypass the restrictions and trade on these US-based platforms. The prediction market industry is projected to grow significantly, with estimates suggesting global trade volumes could reach up to $1 trillion by 2030. However, if the ban is lifted, platforms may face regulatory challenges similar to those in the US, where state gaming authorities are filing lawsuits against companies over sports-related contracts. For instance, New Jersey authorities recently petitioned the Supreme Court to hear a case against Kalshi, which could clarify state versus federal jurisdiction over prediction markets.

Kalshi Bans Former Republican Representative Santos from Congressional Committee, Imposes $71,000 Fine

Former U.S. Representative George Santos has been permanently banned from the prediction market platform Kalshi and ordered to pay over $71,000. This action follows his trading on a market related to his own attendance at a presidential State of the Union address, a personal outcome he could influence. This marks the first time Kalshi has banned a user for violating its trading policies, signaling that platforms are now independently sanctioning users for insider trading. Santos also recently settled with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), paying a $35,000 fine for manipulating the contract price by making public statements about his planned attendance. He did not admit or deny the CFTC's findings. Santos was expelled from Congress in late 2023 following a House ethics investigation. His case is part of a recurring pattern of insider trading issues on prediction markets. Other recent incidents include the arrest of a U.S. Army soldier for trading on non-public information regarding Venezuela's president on Polymarket and a CFTC order against a former White House teleprompter operator for profiting from advance access to presidential speeches. While bipartisan legislative proposals to ban such trading are pending, platforms like Kalshi are implementing their own measures, such as employment verification and permanent bans, to self-regulate.

Ireland Bans Use of Cryptocurrencies in New State Investment Program

Ireland has excluded high-risk financial products, including cryptocurrencies and derivatives, from its new state-backed savings and investment program, according to officials. The initiative, presented by Vice Prime Minister and Finance Minister Simon Harris, aims to encourage Irish households to move billions from low-interest deposits into traditional capital markets. Currently, Irish households hold approximately $197 billion in bank accounts, with cash making up about 38% of their financial assets—well above the EU average of 30%. The proposed scheme, modeled partly on Sweden's tax-advantaged investment account system, will allow tax residents aged 18 and over to hold eligible investments like ETFs, listed shares, and corporate bonds under a simplified tax structure. It replaces Ireland's standard 33% capital gains tax and 41% exit tax with an annual fixed charge applied above a tax-free allowance, and removes the controversial "deemed disposal" rule for assets held in the account. Details will be finalized with the October budget, with account launches planned for 2027. The explicit ban on crypto assets aligns with Ireland's increasingly restrictive stance on digital currencies, driven by financial stability and anti-money laundering (AML) concerns. This month, the Department of Finance launched Ireland's first National AML Strategy to 2030, focusing on digital assets and offshore financial flows. The strategy mandates enhanced identity checks for transfers involving self-hosted crypto wallets and requires regulated providers to verify ownership of external wallets for transfers over $1,150. It also incorporates EU regulations like MiCA and the Funds Transfer Regulation. By excluding digital tokens from the state-supported investment scheme while tightening compliance protocols for private crypto transfers, Irish authorities are pursuing a dual policy: expanding retail access to traditional regulated securities while isolating speculative digital assets behind strengthened financial crime safeguards.

California Passes Bill Banning Memecoins for State Officials

California has passed bill AB 2409, which prohibits state officials and employees from issuing memecoins. Passed by state legislators in August 2026, the bill will also restrict crypto services from listing such tokens for California residents starting January 1, 2027. The legislation applies to state and local government officials and members of public boards and commissions. From 2027, digital service providers are banned from listing for Californians any memecoins issued after that date by federal or state/local officials, or tokens they create in partnership with others. The bill broadly defines memecoins as digital assets whose value is linked to internet memes, celebrities, current events, or cultural trends. Officials argue the ban prevents using public office for personal financial gain, avoids conflicts of interest, and maintains public trust. Enforcement will be handled by the state Attorney General and local prosecutors. This state action is part of broader U.S. efforts to restrict politicians' involvement in cryptocurrency. Previous federal proposals include the MEME Act and COIN Act, which sought to ban the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their families from profiting from or promoting digital assets like memecoins.

California Senate Approves Bill to Ban Issuance of Memecoins by Public Officials

The California Senate has unanimously approved a bill to restrict public officials from issuing or promoting memecoins, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" arrangements. The bill, Assembly Bill 2409, passed the Senate 40-0 and the Assembly 78-0, and now awaits the governor's signature. It would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering Californians memecoins issued on or after January 1, 2027, if they are offered by or in coordination with federal, state, or local public officials. The bill defines memecoins as digital assets whose value is primarily driven by public interest, speculation, or community engagement. This legislative action follows a report highlighting significant investor losses, including an estimated $3.2 billion in cumulative losses for holders of the Trump-related memecoin $TRUMP. The token, the fifth-largest memecoin, has seen recent volatility. Furthermore, former President Trump's family crypto ventures have reportedly complicated the passage of broader U.S. crypto market structure legislation, with a proposed bipartisan ethics amendment potentially allowing him to defer capital gains taxes.

California Senate passes bill to ban memecoin issuance by public officials

California lawmakers have passed a bill, AB 2409, to ban public officials from issuing or partnering on memecoins, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" arrangements. The bill, which passed unanimously in both the Senate and Assembly, awaits the governor's signature. If enacted, it would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering such memecoins to California residents starting January 1, 2027. The legislation defines memecoins as digital assets whose value comes primarily from public interest or speculation. The report highlights a recent analysis showing significant paper losses for investors in the Trump-themed TRUMP memecoin. It also notes that crypto ventures linked to the Trump family are complicating the passage of broader federal crypto market structure legislation.

Russia Introduces Digital Ruble from September 1, But Maintains Ban on Cryptocurrency Payments

Russia will launch its central bank digital currency (CBDC), the digital ruble, on September 1. Major telecommunications companies (MTS, Rostelecom, Megafon) and major online retailers (Wildberries, Ozon) are preparing to accept it for payments. However, Russia maintains its ban on using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for direct payments, drawing a clear line between state-controlled digital money and private alternatives. A new law mandates a phased adoption: large retailers must accept the digital ruble by September 2026, with smaller businesses following by 2028. All systemically important Russian banks are required to support the currency from launch. The digital ruble will be fee-free for individuals, accessible via existing banking apps, with monthly top-up limits. This move is positioned as a way to advance state-backed digital currency in daily transactions while preventing the adoption of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, which the central bank views as a threat to monetary sovereignty. Despite the official push, recent public opinion polls indicate significant hesitation among Russians, with a majority expressing reluctance to use the digital ruble or receive salaries in it.

Japan Locks Down 3-Micron Five-Axis Machine Tools, Validating Dong Mingzhu's Unheeded Decade-Old Warning

Japan has officially tightened export controls on high-end five-axis machine tools with positioning accuracy of 3 microns or less, shifting from bulk licensing to case-by-case approvals with up to 180-day review periods. This move validates a warning made a decade ago by Dong Mingzhu, Chairperson of Gree, who stated that China would one day be unable to purchase advanced machine tools. Faced with restrictive practices from foreign suppliers—including GPS tracking, remote lockouts, and high costs—Gree made a strategic decision in 2013 to develop its own machine tools. After over a decade of substantial R&D investment, Gree has achieved breakthroughs in core components like spindles, linear motors, and CNC systems. Its five-axis machines, particularly models for new energy vehicle parts, now compete with Japanese counterparts in speed and efficiency at significantly lower costs, with over 75% of sales being exports. While Japan's 3-micron threshold targets a remaining precision gap, domestic alternatives for applications above this level are maturing. Companies like Kede CNC and Beijing Jingdiao have made strides in high-end CNC systems and micron-level precision machining, respectively. Together, they form a growing domestic supply chain, with China's overall five-axis machine tool localization rate surpassing 59.5% in 2025. However, a significant gap remains in long-term stability, precision retention over thousands of hours, and processing hard materials like titanium alloys—areas where Japanese giants have decades of accumulated expertise. The new restrictions are accelerating the replacement of foreign equipment with domestic ones in China, generating massive orders and real-world data to help close this stability gap. Dong Mingzhu's foresight highlights a crucial lesson: true industrial security comes not from reliance on imports, but from mastering core technologies, especially during prosperous times. Japan's controls may aim to constrain China's advanced manufacturing, but they also cede market share and further motivate China's push for self-reliance in this critical field. The focus for Chinese manufacturers is now scaling production and achieving the long-term reliability that only comes with sustained effort and time.

Illegal Mining in Russia: Why Home Farms Are Easy to Detect

Illegal cryptocurrency mining in Russia is becoming increasingly risky, especially in regions where such activity is banned. Energy supply companies detect atypical, sustained electricity consumption in residential areas, triggering checks. They monitor anomalous usage, report data to tax authorities, and forward information to prosecutors. Home mining farms give themselves away through a characteristic load pattern: an apartment consumes electricity evenly and almost around-the-clock, making such deviations obvious in statistics. Mining remains legal only where not prohibited and when electricity is consumed under a proper contract, metered, and paid for. Income from mining is subject to taxation. To operate legally, registration or notification is required as per regulations. Current consequences for illegal mining involve applying existing rules: penalties for illegal grid connections, unmetered consumption, causing damage to energy companies, and tax evasion. Equipment may be confiscated. While specific administrative and criminal liability for mining itself is still being finalized, offenders face fines, damage claims, and potential criminal charges. Key illegal schemes include mining in prohibited regions, using illegal grid connections or unmetered power, and not paying taxes on mining income. The main damages involve losses for energy companies, grid overload, and unpaid taxes. As of now, bans on crypto mining are in effect in Moscow, the Moscow region, parts of the Kursk region, and several other territories (including parts of the North Caucasus, certain Ukrainian territories under Russian control, and areas in Southern Siberia and the Far East) until at least March 15, 2031, primarily to mitigate electricity deficit risks. The primary reason home mining is easily detectable is its non-typical power consumption pattern: equipment runs almost constantly, creating a stable load that significantly differs from normal household usage, making concealment difficult.
