<div data-v-c679a437=)The Xiamen Prosecutor's Office published an article stating that an employee of a certain issuing company in Fujian incurred huge debts due to participation in virtual currency investments and committed embezzlement starting from the spring of 2024. The employee unauthorizedly changed the company's public payment code to a personal WeChat payment code and bank account, guiding clients to transfer educational material subscription fees directly into their personal account, cumulatively intercepting over 1.53 million yuan of company funds, and invested all related funds into Bitcoin and other virtual currencies for trading, attempting to profit through speculation, but ultimately lost all funds. The Xiamen District Prosecutor's Office has filed a public prosecution against him for embezzlement, and the court sentenced him to two years and three months in prison, along with a fine.
Leaders of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee are seeking to remove developer protection clauses from the Senate cryptocurrency market structure bill, arguing that these provisions would weaken the legal effectiveness against unlicensed remittance businesses. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley and the committee's chief Democrat Richard Durbin wrote to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and chief Democrat Elizabeth Warren, stating that the current draft would "create significant enforcement gaps for decentralized digital asset platforms." "Such regulatory gaps could attract criminal groups—such as cartels and other complex criminal organizations—into decentralized platforms." They added, "Criminals already use means to conceal illegal transactions. This bill would make the prosecution of such actions significantly more difficult."

The office has now referred the suspects to the prosecution.
White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett stated on Fox News' "Sunday Briefing" that Trump is likely to keep him in his current position, which would take him out of the running for the next Federal Reserve Chair. "From the beginning, he and I have been discussing whether I would be better off in the West Wing or at the Fed," Hassett said. "I don't think he has made a final decision on that yet." Trump expressed reservations last week about nominating Hassett to replace current Federal Reserve Chair Powell. At an event at the White House, he told the National Economic Council Director, "To be honest, I actually hope you can stay in your current position."

We have become accustomed to Trump threatening China, Mexico, and even other trade partners with tariffs. But using economic weapons to threaten NATO allies? This is relatively rare in post-war international relations history. When these European countries sent troops to Greenland to participate in Denmark-led "Arctic Endurance" exercises, Trump interpreted it as a provocation against the U.S. and immediately wielded the tariff stick.
