Recently, Lee Chan-jin, Governor of the Republic of Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), stated that the agency is considering introducing separate stabilization measures for single-stock leveraged ETFs. During a press conference held on June 22, 2026, Lee noted that the negative effects of single-stock leveraged ETFs have intensified. In addition to strengthening monitoring of trading activities, regulators are also weighing other market stabilization measures to hedge against the cascading risks potentially triggered by the volatile swings in single-stock leveraged ETFs tracking SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. "I am deeply concerned that ordinary investors will find it difficult to realize substantial returns, while the profits and dividends are completely pocketed by the operating institutions," Lee said.On May 27, 2026, single-stock leveraged ETFs with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as underlying assets were listed on the local Korean exchange, attracting a frenzy of market capital. According to statistics from the Republic of Korea's Financial Supervisory Service, the total market capitalization of these single-stock leveraged ETFs more than doubled from 4.5 trillion won on the listing date to 9.6 trillion won by June 12. The average daily turnover rate for these single-stock leveraged ETFs reached as high as 122.5%, far exceeding the 30.2% turnover rate of other leveraged and inverse ETFs.

三大加密游说组织致信国会，敦促不加修改通过一项法案。该法案允许质押和挖矿奖励在售出时而非收到时缴税。
Ophelia Snyder, co-founder of 21Shares, stated that although tokenization can address practical issues such as settlement efficiency and asset liquidity, there remains a significant cognitive gap between the crypto industry and traditional financial institutions regarding this topic.She pointed out that the greater challenge currently lies in integrating blockchain assets with the existing systems of banks, brokerages, and asset management companies. Market discussions often overlook the operational环节 between trade execution and final settlement. While the blockchain industry has made progress in transaction throughput, it still falls short of meeting the demands of traditional financial institutions in areas such as bookkeeping, compliance processes, regulatory reporting, and risk management for 24/7 trading.Ophelia Snyder also noted that most financial institutions rely on third-party software vendors that have yet to fully adapt their systems for blockchain-native transactions. She believes the biggest bottleneck the industry currently faces is achieving large-scale adoption, rather than the functionality itself. (CoinDesk)

Public consultation on the proposals will remain open until September 22, with the rules expected to be finalized by the end of 2026. Regulated stablecoins are anticipated to begin operations in the UK by 2027. (decrypt)
Greece rejected Binance's authorization application under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, possibly due to political pressure exerted by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde.Binance submitted its application to the Hellenic Capital Market Commission earlier in 2026, established a holding company locally, and had already passed key technical reviews. However, the application was swiftly overturned between June 7 and June 15, 2026. During a meeting in May, Lagarde told Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis that Europe does not welcome Binance. The reason is that Binance, as a dominant platform providing stablecoin liquidity, is considered by some policymakers to be large enough to potentially complicate the European Central Bank's push for the digital euro project.With the Greek route blocked, Binance has shifted its focus to France in an effort to obtain a MiCA license.

Polymarket, a crypto prediction market platform, has been accused of paying dozens of creators, mostly of college age, to film betting videos on pages closely resembling its website, with some videos also showing fabricated profits. A review of 1,105 videos posted by 10 creators since December found that approximately 70% contained betting content, and the roughly $1.9 million in wagers displayed were not real transactions. One video released in January showed college student George Makihara celebrating a $100,000 win from betting that Donald Trump would say "McDonald’s" that month. However, the footage was reportedly filmed two months early; Trump did not publicly utter the word in January of that year, and over 50 real accounts betting on the same event on Polymarket all incurred losses. Some creators entered trades on test pages, including the misspelled domain "poiymarket.com," which were allegedly built by Polymarket or used for engineering test environments. In 118 videos, creators displayed nearly $900,000 in fictitious gains, while these bets would have resulted in losses of over $166,000 based on actual outcomes. Creators received approximately $2,000 to $3,000 per month and were instructed not to disclose the collaboration arrangement. Polymarket stated it is committed to maintaining accurate, fair, and transparent markets and plans to conduct a comprehensive audit of promotional content. (Decrypt)

Anthony Pompliano, Chairman of Bitcoin treasury company ProCap Financial, posted on X stating that Mythos allegedly breached the U.S. National Security Agency’s (NSA) classified systems within hours—a development that will further intensify public concerns about AI risks and prompt increased regulatory intervention. Yet the more critical signal conveyed by this incident is that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is, in fact, drawing near. Current AI technologies not only surpass humans in capability but are also self-training and improving at an incomprehensible pace—“humans cannot compete with these models.”
According to Bloomingbit, Ji Man-soo, Senior Research Fellow at the Korea Financial Research Institute, stated that before deciding on the issuing entity for the Korean won stablecoin, policymakers should prioritize reviewing concrete use cases and feasibility. Citing Hong Kong as a reference case, he noted that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has granted stablecoin issuance licenses to HSBC Hong Kong and AnchorPoint Financial—a joint venture established by Standard Chartered Hong Kong, Animoca Brands, and HKT—covering use cases such as cross-border payments, domestic payments, tokenized asset trading, and supply chain finance, all aligned with broader digital finance strategies including central bank digital currency (CBDC) and tokenized deposits. Ji Man-soo suggested that discussions around the Korean won stablecoin should begin by asking, “Which problems in Korea’s domestic financial and payment systems can it solve?” Concurrently, specific applications for payments, asset tokenization, and trade finance must be designed to ensure the regulatory framework is effectively implemented.
