Bloomberg: Singapore Revokes Bsquared Crypto Payment License
Odaily Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) announced the revocation of the Major Payment Institution (MPI) license held by crypto payment company Bsquared Technology, citing deficiencies in risk management and conflict of interest policies, violations of outsourcing regulations, and the provision of false or misleading information to regulators on multiple occasions during the license application and on-site inspection processes. Bsquared obtained its license to offer digital payment token services 16 months ago and has now been required to submit a closure certificate from an auditing firm to confirm that all customer funds have been fully returned. MAS stated that it is further reviewing the responsibilities of the company's key management personnel. Currently, Singapore has approved only 37 institutions to provide digital payment token services, making license revocations relatively rare. (Bloomberg)

Analysis: Bitcoin Miner Behavior Shows Market Bottom Not Yet Confirmed, Selling Pressure Eases but Caution Persists
analysts from CryptoQuant have pointed out that, based on a comprehensive review of multiple miner indicators, Bitcoin miners have not yet exhibited behavioral characteristics that "confirm a market bottom," and are currently in a phase of waiting and cautious adjustment. Meanwhile, the Miner Position Index (MPI) remains in negative territory, indicating that current selling intensity is below historical averages. Miners are not in a panic-selling phase but are engaging in "passive selling" primarily to maintain cash flow, suggesting that the probability of an extreme short-term decline is relatively limited. Additionally, the Puell Multiple remains below 1, further indicating that miner revenues are at historically weak levels, and overall profitability is under pressure. However, the strong accumulation behavior typically seen at cycle bottoms has not yet appeared.The analysis suggests that miners are currently in a "waiting phase," having neither triggered a capitulation-style sell-off nor entered an active accumulation cycle. This resembles a typical transitional state before a market bottom forms. Overall, while selling pressure from miners has eased, on-chain structures still show short-term supply pressure exists. Bitcoin is expected to continue its range-bound consolidation pattern, and market sentiment is likely to remain cautious in the near term.
