Monaco moves to overhaul crypto rules with MiCA aligned framework

Monacos government has submitted a bill to replace its 2022 crypto regulatory regime with a new licensing framework that would place crypto-asset service providers under stricter authorization, governance and compliance requirements.　　The government‘s Bill No. 1131 was formally submitted to Monaco’s National Council on Aug. 6, setting out a new framework designed to bring the Principality‘s crypto rules closer to the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation and standards developed by the Financial Action Task Force.　　If adopted, the legislation would replace key parts of the system introduced under Law No. 1.528 in July 2022, while giving Monacos financial regulator a larger role in approving and supervising companies offering crypto services.　　The proposal comes as Monaco remains subject to increased scrutiny over its anti-money laundering controls. The Financial Action Task Force continues to include the Principality among jurisdictions under increased monitoring, commonly known as the FATF grey list, while the European Union classifies Monaco as a high-risk third country for money laundering and terrorist financing controls.　　Monaco crypto rules would move to a CCAF-led licensing system　　Under the proposed framework, companies seeking to provide regulated crypto-asset services would need prior authorization from the Commission de Contrôle des Activités Financières, or CCAF.　　The bill more precisely sets

Strategy, Metaplanet unrealized bitcoin losses highlight risk of concentrating on just one token

Compounding the issue, many DAT firms have consistently favored issuing debt to fund purchases of BTC. That strategy raises the question of how different they are from governments that borrow heavily to fund investments that fail to generate adequate returns. Both, ultimately, lead to high indebtedness relative to income. As we have noted before, bitcoin lacks inherent yield, return or cash flow.　　For now, however, the market doesn‘t appear to be worried about these dynamics. BTC continues to trade between $62,000 and $66,000, as it has for weeks, with today’s price action largely below $64,000.　　Some analysts say they remain optimistic that the bear market has run its course, pointing to a price range that corresponds with the previous bull-cycle high.　　“The peaks of the 2021 bull market were close to these levels,” Alex Kuptsikevich, the chief analyst at FxPro, said in an email. “Three years ago, Bitcoins decline generally halted at $20K, which was close to the peak of the previous bull market at the end of 2017. This supports our view that the decline may have run its course, with bearish momentum fading as Bitcoin approaches the 200-week moving average.”　　Other analysts have turned their focus to Augusts Jackson Hole symposium of

Bitcoin speculators keep BTC price ‘pinned’ below $68.7K: Glassnode

Bitcoin (BTC) recent buyers are the latest hurdle to a breakout from a stubborn trading range in place since June.　　Key points:Bitcoin short-term holders are keen to sell into range highs as they seek to break even on their investment.BTC price action remains stuck in its near three-month range as a result, Glassnode suggests.Nearly 9% of the BTC supply has a cost basis between $62,000 and $65,000.　　Bitcoin short-term holders seeking breakeven exit　　In the latest edition of its weekly newsletter, crypto analytics platform Glassnode highlighted the ongoing significance of Bitcoins speculative investor base.　　Short-term holders (STHs) — those holding BTC acquired within the past six months — are currently around 7.2% underwater on their investment in aggregate. The cohorts cost basis, also known as realized price, which Glassnode calculates at $68,700, thus forms a key resistance level to clear.　　“The cost-basis ladder frames the stalemate. Spot sits just above the Median Realized Price at $63.0K, the level that splits every coin‘s cost basis down the middle, and below the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis at $68.7K, the average entry of the market’s most recent buyers,” it wrote.　　“That cohort is underwater, which historically makes it quick to sell into recoveries, while the median level has absorbed

‘DeFi doesn’t exist anymore, just onchain finance: Andre Cronje

Most decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols are no longer truly decentralized, according to Andre Cronje, founder of DeFi platform Flying Tulip and creator of Fantom Network.　　“I don‘t think DeFi exists anymore outside of those very small niches,” Cronje told Cointelegraph during Thursday’s Chain Reaction X Spaces show.　　He argued that “true DeFi” needs to be decentralized, immutable and without an intermediary, adding: “That statement isnt really true for pretty much any other protocols running today.”　　Its an idea that Cronje has been raising for months. Earlier this year, he said much of DeFi is “no longer DeFi” in the strict sense, as builders debate whether circuit breakers and other emergency controls are now necessary to protect users from exploits.　　Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi more than halved over the past 10 months, to $75 billion at the time of writing from $167 billion in early October 2025, according to DefiLlama.DeFi TVL, all-time chart. Source: DefiLlama　　He‘s not alone in this thinking. The European Central Bank has also questioned whether decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are sufficiently decentralized to remain outside regulators’ scope. In a March working paper, the ECB looked at Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth and Uniswap and found that the top 100 governance token holders

Fidelity FETH Ethereum ETF Staking Filing Explained

FD Funds Management LLC, sponsor of the Fidelity Crypto Ethereum Fund (FETH), filed a pre-effective amendment to its Form S-3 registration statement with the U.S. SEC on July 24, 2026, adding disclosure that would let the fund stake up to 100% of its ether (ETH) holdings.　　The amendment explicitly states that no additional securities are being registered and updates a prior S-1 that the SEC had declared effective on July 31, 2025.　　This is not simply a housekeeping update to a shelf registration. It is Fidelitys attempt to attach ETH staking rewards to a spot Ethereum ETF that launched without that feature, and the filing itself frames staking as an activity the sponsor expects to begin once the registration statement becomes effective, not one that is already underway.　　DISCOVER: Best Meme Coins to Buy in 2026　　Fidelity Crypto FETH News: What the Amendment Actually Changes　　The prospectus language describes the Trust staking ether through custodians and node operators under normal circumstances, while reserving a portion for redemptions, expenses, and liquidity management under what the filing calls its Liquidity Program.　　BULLISH: $7.8 trillion Fidelity to enable Ethereum staking and quarterly cash payouts for its spot $ETH ETF. pic.twitter.com/TnvCrKfzGD　　— Altcoin Daily (@AltcoinDaily) August 12, 2026　　The Trust would retain
