According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase's European policy director Katie Harries wrote that the proposed cryptocurrency asset regulatory rules by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) may require regulated platforms to execute customer orders only on trading venues authorized by the FCA, thereby restricting users' access to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols through compliant platforms.Since decentralized protocols typically do not have entities that can apply for regulatory authorization, the relevant rules may lead to regulated platforms being unable to provide DeFi access services, effectively creating a ban. The related cryptocurrency regulatory system is expected to be implemented starting October 25, 2027.

According to Bloomberg, the Central Bank of Ireland has fined Coinbase's Irish subsidiary €3.25 million (approximately $3.6 million) due to deficiencies in its outsourcing governance framework and inadequate customer fund protection measures.Regulators pointed out that the company relied too heavily on the U.S. Coinbase Group to execute customer fund protection processes, and design flaws in the system along with insufficient control testing led to a long-term shortfall in the designated customer fund protection accounts.A Coinbase spokesperson stated that the relevant issues mainly occurred during the U.S. banking crisis in 2023, when the company directed customers to deposit funds into other bank accounts of Coinbase to mitigate potential losses from bank failures. However, this practice resulted in the mixing of customer funds with those held by other entities of Coinbase, which did not comply with regulatory requirements.Last year, the Central Bank of Ireland also fined Coinbase Europe €21.5 million for violating anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing transaction monitoring obligations (which included a 30% settlement discount).

According to a report by The Block, Coinbase released a report titled "The Always-On Dollar" indicating that in the third quarter of 2026, the average hourly transfer amount of organic stablecoin transactions exceeded $400 million. Over the past 12 months, as of July 31, approximately 73% of filtered stablecoin transfer volume occurred outside of U.S. banking hours, highlighting the demand for 24/7 stablecoin payments.The report shows that the adjusted quarterly transfer volume of stablecoins has grown to four times its original amount since the beginning of 2023, reaching $891 billion in the third quarter of 2026. At the current growth rate, this figure is expected to reach $1.5 trillion by the end of 2027. The report also noted that using USDC to remit $200 through the Base network can save about 86% in fees compared to traditional payment channels. Furthermore, if 80% of global international transactions shift to stablecoin payment networks, the global annual GDP could increase by an additional $155 billion.Looking ahead, the report believes that stablecoins are likely to become an important payment infrastructure for the AI agent economy. McKinsey estimates that by 2030, between $3 trillion to $5 trillion in B2C commercial transactions will be facilitated by AI agents, with stablecoins supporting small transactions such as payment task fees between agents, purchasing API calls, and on-demand access to data and computing power.

According to Cointelegraph, the Astana International Financial Centre Court (AIFC) in Kazakhstan has issued an injunction against six unlicensed cryptocurrency platforms, prohibiting them from providing digital asset services locally and expanding access restrictions to app stores. The Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) stated on Tuesday that the court made this ruling after the regulatory agency sued the operators of the relevant platforms for providing digital asset services without authorization.The order issued on September 15 specifically named BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart, Coinbase, LBank, and WEEX; a three-day later amendment removed LBank from the list, as its operator had blocked access for users in Kazakhstan. Google and Apple, as app store operators, were also included and are required to implement regional access restrictions for the remaining platforms.AFSA stated that users of unlicensed platforms lack the protections that licensed institutions should provide, including asset protection, information disclosure, complaint handling, and dispute resolution. The National Bank of Kazakhstan is responsible for regulating digital asset service providers outside of the AIFC.AFSA CEO Evgeniya Bogdanova stated that this court ruling is the result of the agency's long-term efforts by its supervision and enforcement team to address the activities of unlicensed crypto platforms that advertise without authorization and provide digital asset-related services in Kazakhstan without a license.AFSA noted that it had issued warnings to over 20 platforms by 2025, nine of which voluntarily restricted app access in the country, and seven expressed intent to apply for licenses. The agency has withdrawn its claims against these nine, and the injunction will be enforced against the remaining six. Cointelegraph previously reported that the financial regulator in Kazakhstan had blocked nearly 1,000 unregistered cryptocurrency exchanges that were providing services to citizens of the country in 2023.
