▌Lawyers believe that the SEC's recent memecoin guidance indicates a shift in cryptocurrency regulation
The lawyers at Gibson Law Firm said that the recently released memecoin guidance by the US SEC may imply that it will adjust cryptocurrency regulation, and even affect the application of the Howey test.
The US SEC previously issued a statement saying that memecoin should not be generally considered a securities because its buyer's funds are not concentrated in the development of related projects and prices rely on market speculation and collective sentiment. This position contradicts the views held by the SEC in previous lawsuits against cryptocurrency exchanges and may affect digital asset trading in all secondary markets. Analysts believe that the move shows that the SEC is gradually moving away from the tough regulatory approaches of former Chairman Gary Gensler, bringing a clearer direction for US cryptocurrencies.
▌U.S. Senate Updates Stablecoins Act GENIUS Act 2025: Expands Reciprocity Terms for Paying Stablecoins in Overseas Jurisdiction
According to the latest "Guide and Establish the Innovation Act of the United States Stablecoins" (GENIUS Act 2025), the updated bill specifically expands the "Reciprocity for Payment Stablecoins in Overseas Jurisdiction" (Reciprocity for Payment Stablecoins Issued in Overseas Jurisdictionseas Jurisdictions). The U.S. Treasury Secretary was asked to reach a bilateral agreement with a similar stablecoin regulatory framework to ensure coordination of reserve requirements, oversight, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism measures, sanctions compliance standards, liquidity requirements and risk management standards. The reciprocity arrangement needs to be completed within two years of the bill's entry into force to facilitate international transactions and enhance interoperability with USD-denominated overseas payment stablecoins.
In addition, the bill clearly excludes licensed payment stablecoin issuers from the scope of "commodities" defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, and further clarify regulatory responsibilities.
▌Trump may sign cryptocurrency-related executive orders this week to repeal bank restrictions on cryptocurrency companies
Sources revealed that Trump plans to sign executive orders as early as this week to overturn Biden's restriction on cryptocurrency banking services, especially "Operation Chokepoint 2.0".
Source said the order may involve the Federal Reserve's "main account" to relax access to crypto banks. However, as an independent institution, the Federal Reserve is usually not directly affected by the White House. In addition, the executive order may cover stablecoin regulation, which makes it clear that stablecoins should not be considered as securities. Senior White House officials plan to meet Thursday to assess potential legal obstacles to the executive order before submitting it to President Trump for a signature.

▌Tariff wars intensify economic concerns, and the cryptocurrency market is facing a sell-off.
Cryptocurrency prices continue to fall, and Bitcoin has fallen to its lowest level since November last year as escalating tariff war tensions sparked concerns about the economy, offsetting U.S. President Trump's statement in support of cryptocurrency issued last week. Risk assets such as cryptocurrencies are under pressure over concerns that Trump's tariffs and sacks will undermine U.S. economic growth. U.S. stocks slumped and U.S. Treasury bonds rose as investors sought hedge. B2C2 Director Nikolay Karpenko said: "Although Trump's statement on cryptocurrency strategic reserves initially promoted optimism, as macroeconomic conditions worsened and the market showed aggressive selling, and this rebound quickly collapsed."
▌The industry's response to the first White House cryptocurrency summit was mixed.
FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett said that investors and industry observers would have hoped to hear Trump's specific plan to build the United States into a 'cryptocurrency capital', but the content of the summit is still general and has mixed responses.
Nevertheless, participants were generally positive about the conference atmosphere and were optimistic about providing more regulatory clarity in the future. Former CFTC Chairman Christopher Giancarlo commented: "This summit is obviously a way for this session to welcome the industry with open arms. This is how they express "you have been persecuted, and now we celebrate for you." Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse bluntly stated that the two sessions had completely different attitudes towards cryptocurrencies: "Biden wants us to go to 'jail', and Trump directly invites us to the White House."
The meeting was chaired by Sacks and Hines and was held in the State Banquet Hall of the East Wing of the White House. Before the meeting, guests also had informal exchanges with officials, but some officials, such as Rodney Hood, acting director of the Supervisory Commission, attended the reception only and did not participate in the formal meeting.

▌A whale/institution supplements collateral and repays part of its debt, but the ETH liquidation risk has not been lifted
According to Embers, a giant whale or institution holding 65,000 ETH (about 120 million US dollars) is only $50 away from being liquidated. The address pulled 2,000 ETH ($3.75 million) from Bitfinex four hours ago, with USDT 1.54 million from Binance to supplement collateral and repay part of its debt, reducing its liquidation price from $1,932 to $1,836.
However, the current ETH price is still close to the liquidation line. The giant whale's ETH is purchased mainly through revolving loans in May 2022, with an average cost price of about US$2,088, and the current floating loss has exceeded US$14 million. If the ETH price falls further, the account may face large-scale forced closing of positions.
