Odaily Planet Daily reports that Forbes recently published an in-depth report focusing on the latest developments in the US stablecoin regulatory framework, highlighting the "2025 Skynet US Digital Asset Policy Report" released by CertiK, the world's largest Web3 security company. The report cites CertiK's analysis, pointing out that with the continued advancement of key policies such as the GENIUS Act, the US digital asset industry is moving from broad principles to a new phase centered on specific requirements, enforceable regulations, and institutional compliance expectations. CertiK co-founder and CEO Ronghui Gu stated in the report that issuers that will stand out in the stablecoin race in the future will be those companies that have established mature, institutional-grade operating systems in reserve management, transparency, and infrastructure. The industry as a whole is also shifting towards a "security-first" approach. Furthermore, Forbes, citing the CertiK report, analyzes that the divergence in regulatory paths between the US and Europe is reshaping the global liquidity landscape of stablecoins: the US views dollar-denominated stablecoins as strategic assets, while the EU's MiCA framework focuses on protecting the sovereignty of the euro, gradually forming a "dual-track" stablecoin system. CertiK believes that regulation will not only determine who can issue stablecoins, but also who can compete globally, with the real competition shifting towards long-term, cross-regulatory operational capabilities.

According to Ming Pao, a man was defrauded of HK$2 million in cash while trading USDT at a money exchange in Tsim Sha Tsui last November. Two 18-year-old youths attempted to transfer the cash using a passageway inside the safe at the exchange but failed to escape and were arrested. The two pleaded guilty to fraud and were sentenced to a reformatory by the Hong Kong District Court today (December 19). The judge pointed out that although the two defendants were not the masterminds, they played a key role in the scam. Considering their age and potential for rehabilitation, sentencing them to a reformatory would be beneficial to their rehabilitation and the community. The case revealed that the victim handed over cash to the two defendants but did not receive the USDT for a long time. Upon returning to the store, he discovered that the money had been transferred, and the two defendants attempted to escape through the passageway but failed. The judge emphasized that this case was premeditated and involved a large sum of money, reminding the public to be vigilant and guard against similar scams.
