ChainCatcher news, Dubai's cryptocurrency regulator has updated the marketing guidelines for virtual assets, requiring companies to include disclaimers that clearly state investment risks when marketing.Starting from October 1, companies wishing to promote virtual assets in the UAE must include a "prominent" disclaimer stating that "virtual assets may partially or completely lose their value and are subject to extreme volatility," the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) announced on Thursday.VARA CEO Matthew White stated, "We believe that by providing clear and actionable guidance, we can help Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) offer services responsibly while fostering trust and transparency in the market."

ChainCatcher news, according to Hong Kong media reports, since the listing of virtual asset ETFs in Hong Kong two weeks ago, the total assets under management have reached 266 million USD. Recently, Jiang Zhaosheng, a senior researcher at OKLink Research Institute, stated in the "Web3 Relativity" program that Hong Kong currently plays more of a "connecting point" and "bridge" role in the virtual asset field. Whether it is incorporating the entry and exit channels of virtual assets such as VATP, stablecoins, and VAOTC into regulation, or accelerating the integration of traditional finance and virtual assets through tokenization and ETFs, Hong Kong is strengthening its "connecting" attributes through various measures to enhance the security and compliance of virtual assets.As the trading of virtual asset ETFs gradually improves, Jiang Zhaosheng suggests that investors use on-chain data to assess the actual market conditions and trends. For example, tools like the OKLink blockchain explorer can be used to check the inflow and outflow of holdings from various fund companies, allowing for the analysis of the supply and demand dynamics and changes in market sentiment, as well as the impact of the incremental funds brought by spot ETFs on prices and other non-public information.

ChainCatcher news, according to DL News, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is consulting with the industry and experts on whether crypto assets should be included as investment products. This move is expected to open up a broader market for cryptocurrencies, far exceeding the market size of Bitcoin spot ETFs.It is reported that the plan aims to expand the scope of UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities), which has a market size of up to €12 trillion. If implemented, this would be a key step towards the mainstreaming of crypto assets in Europe, with financial regulation expert Sean Tuffy stating that it has the potential to be a "game changer."The consultation deadline for ESMA is August 7, and it remains to be seen whether it will be approved. DLA Piper lawyer Andrea Pantaleo noted that the impact of this move will far exceed that of U.S. ETFs, as many fund sectors may direct some liquidity towards crypto assets.
