Policy and Regulation:
The Malaysian Securities Commission plans to reform the Digital Asset Exchange (DAX) framework, proposing a series of regulatory enhancements to accelerate token listings and strengthen investor protection. The new rules suggest allowing digital assets that meet minimum requirements to go live without prior approval, while increasing the responsibilities of exchange operators.
Additionally, the proposal includes mandatory client asset segregation and higher governance and operational requirements to address the risks of digital asset trading. DAX operators will also need to meet higher financial thresholds to enhance the operational and financial resilience of the platform. The public can submit feedback from June 30 to August 11, and the consultation document has been published on the SC's official website.
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission proposes to expand the restricted name list under the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance to include terms like "trading platform" and "virtual assets" to prevent unregulated entities from misleading the public, with the consultation period ending on August 11.

FTX bankruptcy management lawyers recently objected to the $1.53 billion claim made by Three Arrows Capital (3AC), requesting the court to dismiss it in full. The lawyers stated that 3AC's losses were due to market fluctuations and its own withdrawals, unrelated to FTX. In March of this year, the bankruptcy court approved 3AC's claim amount to be increased from $120 million to $1.53 billion. In November 2024, 3AC claimed that FTX sold $1.5 billion worth of assets two weeks before it initiated liquidation, citing new evidence. However, FTX lawyers countered that the claim is based on unreasonable premises, inaccurate data, and a disregard for facts. FTX pointed out that after the collapse of Terra in June 2022, 3AC's account balance fell below $240 million, yet it did not replenish margin and instead withdrew $18 million in ETH. FTX subsequently liquidated $820 million in assets to avoid a loss of $18 million when the account went bankrupt. 3AC must submit a response by July 11, with a hearing scheduled for August 12.

Project Updates:
The now-defunct cryptocurrency mining service HashFlare's co-founders have requested a U.S. judge to waive their additional prison time after admitting to telecom fraud, but prosecutors argue that they orchestrated a $577 million Ponzi scheme and should be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
In a sentencing memorandum submitted to Seattle Federal Court Judge Robert Lasnik, prosecutors argued that Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turõgin should each receive a 10-year sentence for this "horrific crime," which caused approximately $300 million in losses to victims. Prosecutors contended that given that HashFlare is the largest fraud case the court has handled, a ten-year sentence is reasonable. However, Potapenko and Turõgin stated in their own sentencing memorandum submitted the same day that their sentences should be shorter due to their cooperation and the fact that they have already served time in Estonia.
The two were arrested in Estonia in November 2022, extradited to the U.S. in May 2024 after serving 16 months, and admitted to conspiracy to commit telecom fraud in the U.S. They are currently out on bail, with the sentencing hearing scheduled for August 14.

In the SEC vs. Ripple case: SEC must submit a report to the appellate court by August 15
The crypto community is closely monitoring the progress of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple, hoping for an early resolution to the long-standing XRP case. Ripple has withdrawn its appeal, but the SEC has not followed suit. Legal expert Bill Morgan stated that while the SEC does not have a fixed deadline to withdraw its appeal, it must submit a report to the appellate court by August 15, 2025, and new information is expected in the coming weeks. The focus of the case is whether Ripple's sale of XRP constitutes an unregistered securities transaction. In 2023, a judge ruled that institutional sales of XRP were securities transactions, while programmatic sales on exchanges were not. Although both parties had reached a settlement, it was rejected by the judge.
