: Following a meeting with Islamic scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani, Bilal bin Saqib, Chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, stated that stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, and other blockchain products should undergo separate technical and Sharia assessments and should not be treated as a single category. Previously, scholars including Usmani issued a fatwa determining that USDT and other cryptocurrencies do not constitute wealth recognized under Islamic Sharia law, rendering transactions involving the purchase of physical goods or digital services with them invalid. In March of this year, Pakistan passed the Virtual Assets Act, which requires exchanges, custodians, and token issuers to ensure their operations comply with Sharia law under the guidance of an Islamic finance scholars committee. Meanwhile, the country is advancing plans for a sovereign stablecoin, the tokenization of national assets, and the licensing of crypto trading platforms.

Gate issued an announcement regarding the recent "user asset theft incident," sharing internal comprehensive verification results, analysis of the incident's cause, and progress on subsequent handling. Regarding the verification process and key facts, the announcement stated that after comprehensive verification, materials submitted by the applicant at the time, including account information, real-name information, transaction records, Alipay screen recordings, etc., matched the account completely. According to analysis by the technical team, Alipay screen recordings can only be made by the customer themselves or someone with access to the customer's Alipay account. Alipay possesses an extremely strict real-time risk control system; logging into Alipay on a different device will mandate multi-factor authentication. This indicates a situation involving serious leakage of customer information or device compromise. Regarding the Gate platform audit mechanism, the announcement stated that the Company's security unbinding audit mechanism strictly executes the four-fold verification process of "Multi-channel advance notification + System risk control preliminary screening + Manual multi-layer review + Time protection," and never has nor will it approve any security item change application based on a single material alone. Gate always takes information security and customer data protection as the Company's core management requirements. The issue of internal information leakage mentioned by some parties does not exist. Regarding fund recovery and subsequent handling, the announcement stated that Gate processed the matter with the highest priority immediately after the incident occurred, coordinating security, compliance, legal, business, and other teams to carry out on-chain analysis and asset tracking and freezing. It continues to coordinate with third-party institutions such as Tether to advance fund freezing. Subsequently, it will also actively cooperate with judicial authorities in investigations and data collection. Any substantive progress will be communicated immediately.

According to Cointelegraph, crypto-friendly digital banking platform Revolut announced that it will cease support for USDT in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss markets by August 31, 2026, with other markets remaining unaffected. Revolut stated that this move stems from regular reviews of crypto services and risk considerations under the EU MiCA regulatory framework. Currently, Revolut has already removed USDT trading pairs for EEA users from its Revolut X trading platform. It is worth noting that Switzerland is not a member of the EU or EEA and is not directly bound by MiCA, yet Revolut has not provided an explanation for including Switzerland in the affected markets. This delisting decision aligns with the overall trend of crypto platforms in the EU—since Tether chose not to apply for authorization under the MiCA framework, multiple platforms have successively delisted USDT.
