Thai regulator to crack down on deceptive cryptocurrency ads

Cryptocurrency advertisements that contain false, exaggerated, distorted, concealed, or misleading information violate Thai regulations. Regulatory agencies in major cryptocurrency markets have also taken similar measures to minimize investment losses in cryptocurrencies. For example, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued 450 illegal cryptocurrency advertising alerts in 2023 alone. In addition, in November 2023, the Spanish National Securities Market Commission, the main securities market regulatory agency, condemned fraudulent cryptocurrency asset promotion activities on X and reiterated the company's obligation to comply with local laws. The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission reminded cryptocurrency exchanges to include appropriate warnings about investment risks and to avoid attracting new users through special promotions. He warned that violating the above guidelines would result in "legal punishment".

Russia to impose cryptocurrency restrictions, exempting miners and central bank projects

Russia will implement cryptocurrency restrictions, exempting miners and central bank projects. Starting from September 1st, Russia will impose strict restrictions on the circulation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, only allowing the issuance of digital financial assets within its jurisdiction. Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Market Committee of the State Duma, led this initiative. This is part of a wider government effort to control the cryptocurrency ecosystem in the face of escalating geopolitical tensions. Aksakov stated that the upcoming legislation aims to restrict non-Russian cryptocurrency transactions to strengthen the dominance of the ruble. Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that Russian entities have used cryptocurrencies, particularly Tether's USDT, to purchase key components for military technology.

EU member states prepare to enforce landmark crypto law, MiCA

The European Union is set to enforce MiCA, a crypto law that mandates national regulators to license and supervise service providers. While the regulation is EU-wide, countries can implement slightly different technical standards that crypto firms must adhere to. MiCA's specialized rules for stablecoin issuers will take effect in a few months, followed by licensing and other requirements for crypto firms broadly in December. Each jurisdiction must transpose the EU regulation into local law, select which of their regulators will oversee crypto, and prepare to authorize token issuers and other service providers. Regulators are facing challenges in implementing the new legislation, particularly in terms of licensing requirements, and each country's crypto industry has its own concerns about implementation and proposed laws.
