ChainCatcher news, according to Nikkei, the Financial Services Agency of Japan has begun to consider positioning crypto assets as financial products similar to securities, with the aim of requiring companies to disclose more detailed information to protect investors. Currently, the agency is holding closed-door study meetings with experts to review whether the current regulation of virtual currencies is sufficient.It is reported that the Financial Services Agency of Japan has begun to design a system, which will announce the system reform policy in June this year, and after discussions at the Financial System Council this autumn, the law will be amended at the regular Diet session in 2026. The new system also aims to lift the ban on "Bitcoin spot ETFs" and may reduce the current tax rate of up to 55% to 20%, the same as the financial income tax rate, in order to achieve the goal of both protecting investors and revitalizing the market. An important question raised for the future is whether the target includes all crypto assets or is limited to those assets that have been approved as ETFs in the United States, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun stated that the current majority of chain abstraction technologies make the crypto ecosystem more fragmented, as each different blockchain base layer has its own set of security assumptions, which makes interoperability between chains challenging.Arjun explained, "They have their own set of validators and cryptoeconomic security. Therefore, you have to create infrastructure called light clients, such as bi-directional light clients. This is often the main bottleneck."He added that bridging between chains is often a multi-step process for communication between blockchain networks, which comes with high costs and security risks, while isolating users and capital into fragmented pools.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptoslate, Russian legislator Anton Gorelkin posted on Telegram expressing concerns from Bitcoin miners regarding the government's requirement to include wallet addresses in a national registration system.Miners believe that if wallet address information is leaked, it could be exploited by geopolitical adversaries and lead to sanctions. In response, the Russian tax authorities stated that the relevant information is stored in an independent internal security system, with access strictly limited. Notably, this concern arises at a time when the demand for industrial-grade mining machines in Russia has tripled in 2024, and the government is promoting the establishment of a nationwide cryptocurrency mining equipment registration system.

ChainCatcher news, Bloomberg has questioned a series of actions taken by Trump in the cryptocurrency space since he took office, stating that President Trump and his entourage seem eager to establish their crypto empire. The family not only hopes to pave the way for the U.S. to support cryptocurrencies through more favorable regulations but also aims to secure a place in the positive outcomes.Based on the current (volatile) spot prices, the TRUMP holdings of entities related to Trump have an estimated book value of about $14.9 billion, with risks that are equally incredible. As token buyers and industry insiders see their opportunity to please Trump, the likelihood of quid pro quo and corruption will certainly increase. Additionally, moral hazard is also present.When Eric Trump tweeted a friendly suggestion that Ethereum is worth buying, he was by no means a neutral observer—when he removed the phrase "you can thank me later" from his post on X, he seemed to realize this. Meanwhile, the company has transferred most of its reserves to Coinbase Global Inc., and although it denied any plans to sell, it is difficult to assess what specific insider information might be involved. Trump's tariff policies are certainly not favorable to the crypto market, and the impact of Eric Trump's endorsements is similarly limited.Bloomberg believes that without effective enforcement and strengthening of regulations, oversight of the president's actions will become ineffective, and currently, Trump seems unencumbered by any constraints.

ChainCatcher News, the U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors have agreed to temporarily restrict access to information in the Treasury Department's payment systems for staff of the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) led by Musk.Previously, a group of union members and retirees sued the Treasury Department, alleging that providing DOGE access to the federal government's vast payment system and the personal data stored within it violated federal privacy laws.The Trump administration submitted a motion on Wednesday night seeking to sign a proposed order detailing the agreed-upon terms. The proposed order states that "the defendants will not provide any access to payment records or payment systems maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department or its internal services." The order allows for exceptions, permitting two special government employees within the Treasury (Tom Klaus and Marco Elez) to access these records "as needed" while performing their duties, but this access is limited to "read-only."
