Headline
American Bankers Association urges regulators to slow down cryptocurrency bank license approvals
The American Bankers Association (ABA) stated in a comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) that the approval process for cryptocurrency-related bank licenses should be slowed down until a regulatory framework for stablecoins and digital assets is clarified, ensuring that safety and soundness standards are fully understood and implemented. It also recommended banning non-bank trust companies from using the term "bank" to avoid misleading the market. The banking organization noted that the OCC is currently linking license approvals to compliance with the GENIUS Act, but full implementation of this Act may still take several years and involves rule-making by multiple regulatory bodies. It is reported that cryptocurrency companies such as Circle, Ripple, BitGo, Paxos, Coinbase, and Laser Digital under Nomura are applying for or have received conditional OCC trust bank licenses. Additionally, World Liberty Financial, associated with Trump, has also applied for a license covering its USD1 stablecoin.

Opinion: Bitcoin futures show bears may push the price to 60,000 USD threshold
After being resisted multiple times in the 70,000 to 72,000 USD resistance zone, Bitcoin's price has formed a series of lower highs and has now broken below the intraday trend line, putting short sellers in control in the short term.
The liquidation heatmap shows a liquidity gap between 66,000 USD and 60,500 USD, which may create a magnetic effect, attracting prices to quickly pass through to reach the stop-loss cluster below. Currently, over 350 million USD in leveraged long positions remain near 60,500 USD, and if there is no quick rebound above 68,000 USD, the risk of Bitcoin's price dipping to the annual low of 59,800 USD will increase. Trader Husky noted that Bitcoin's price has dropped below the average volume-weighted price of 59,800 USD, indicating a weakening market structure in the short term. Analyst EliZ stated that Bitcoin is currently consolidating in a downward channel around 66,500 USD, and if it breaks below this level, it may dip to the support zone between 63,400 USD and 64,600 USD.

Regulatory Trends
US Treasury Secretary Yellen agrees Senate committee can investigate Federal Reserve Chairman Powell
US Treasury Secretary Yellen agreed during a closed-door meeting with Senate Republicans that the Senate Banking Committee, rather than the Justice Department, should investigate Federal Reserve Chairman Powell per some members' suggestions. An informed senator stated that this move aims to "test" whether it may persuade North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis to lift his hold on the Fed nominee. "They want to dangle this condition in front of Thom and see if he'll accept it," the senator said. "Thom had a blank expression at the time." Another source indicated that this might be a workable compromise. A Republican congressman remarked, "What the president wants is an investigation," and having the Banking Committee "meet that investigation desire" could be an option. However, the aforementioned senator was skeptical: "If Thom accepts, I would be very surprised."

UK FCA files legal action against HTX, accusing it of illegal marketing of cryptocurrency services
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated legal action against cryptocurrency exchange HTX, accusing the company of continuing to promote cryptocurrency asset services to UK consumers in violation of financial promotion rules.
The FCA stated that HTX published illegal marketing content on platforms like TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Despite previous warnings, HTX has not ceased its violations. Currently, the FCA has requested social media platforms to block HTX's accounts targeting UK users and asked Apple and Google app stores to remove the HTX application.
Additionally, the FCA pointed out that HTX's organizational structure is opaque, and multiple attempts at communication have gone unanswered. HTX is currently listed on the FCA's warning list, meaning UK users will not be protected by the financial complaint service if they incur losses.

CZ: To sustain meme coins, they must have very strong cultural elements
CZ responded in Binance Square regarding how retail investors engage with meme coins, stating, "I think the issue is in my tweet, I tweeted that if you buy meme coins created based on my tweets, you will definitely lose money. Many people will generate memes based on my tweets. If you buy them all, you will not succeed. I'm not a very good meme trader; I don't know what the right strategies are for some of my creators to make money. So, but if you buy all the memes that people created based on my tweets, you will lose money. If you're a meme creator, you have to come up with your own strategies. I don't know what the right strategy is, but I think for meme coins to last, they must have very strong cultural elements. If you look at some more enduring memes, like DOGE, FLOKI, etc., they have lasted a long time, while new memes are riskier."
SBF stated on platform X that under Biden's administration, businesses were forced to move overseas. Under Trump's leadership, businesses were welcomed back to the US. Regulatory measures taken by Democrats include requiring licenses but refusing to issue them, leading to businesses being unable to operate in the US. The situation has changed currently; the US Department of Justice no longer prosecutes the entire industry. For many years, due to this policy, all liquidity prediction markets have been located overseas, and they are now opening up to Americans, including the cryptocurrency sector. The Democrats raised corporate taxes, causing businesses to relocate and creating loopholes that encourage businesses to keep funds abroad. Trump expanded business tax cuts, attracting investments back to the US.
Hong Kong legislator Wu Jiezhuang stated on platform X that the gradually relaxed policies in Hong Kong will allow licensed companies and industry practitioners to better realize their potential.

He suggested that Hong Kong consider establishing a dedicated agency or department to comprehensively coordinate the development direction of digital and cryptocurrency assets, such as considering introducing clear guidelines or regulations that allow decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to be more compliant in Hong Kong, attracting more Level 1 public chain projects to thrive in Hong Kong.
