Industry Updates
SEC Unveils New Crypto Asset Regulatory Framework on August 19, Offering Exemptions From $5 Million to $75 Million
According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC unveiled a new framework called “Regulation Crypto Assets” on August 19, providing digital asset issuers with more flexible compliance pathways. A startup exemption would allow projects to raise up to $5 million over four years without registering under the Securities Act, while projects conducting offerings of up to $75 million could receive a one-year exemption. The framework also introduces a safe harbor under which digital assets meeting specific conditions may no longer be classified as securities once the issuer ceases ongoing managerial activities. The SEC will accept public comments for 60 days.
Securitize Moves Neuberger’s $230 Billion Fixed-Income Platform On-Chain and Launches a New Tokenized Fund
According to The Block, Securitize has partnered with Neuberger Berman, which manages $230 billion in assets, to launch the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund, or HINC. This marks the first time Neuberger has served as a sub-adviser to a tokenized fund. HINC will primarily invest in high-yield bonds and other income-generating fixed-income assets and will be available to eligible investors across Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. Investors must satisfy onboarding requirements, complete KYC and AML reviews, and comply with jurisdictional eligibility rules and applicable securities regulations.
Visa Seeks New Stablecoin Settlement and OTC Trading Partner Following Mastercard’s Acquisition of BVNK
According to CoinDesk, Visa is searching for a new stablecoin settlement and over-the-counter trading partner. Candidates must hold cryptocurrency exchange licenses in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. The selected partner will also handle settlement for Visa’s newly introduced Open USD stablecoin initiative, which is expected to support multiple stablecoins. The search follows Mastercard’s acquisition of BVNK and reflects growing competition among traditional payment companies to build compliant stablecoin settlement, liquidity conversion, and cross-border payment infrastructure.
Bitpanda Fined €70,000 by Austria’s FMA in Europe’s First Publicly Disclosed MiCA Penalty
According to Decrypt, Austria’s Financial Market Authority fined Bitpanda €70,000 in the first publicly disclosed enforcement penalty under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. The FMA said Bitpanda failed to submit a crypto-asset white paper to the regulator at least 20 working days before publication and released promotional materials before publishing the white paper. Another marketing communication lacked a disclaimer stating that it had not been reviewed or approved by regulators, as well as the required telephone and email contact details. The violations concern procedural and disclosure requirements, with no allegations of fraud or investor losses. The decision is legally binding.
SoftBank Plans Record $6.3 Billion Retail Bond Offering in Japan
According to Jin10, SoftBank Group plans to issue approximately ¥1 trillion, or $6.26 billion, in corporate bonds to Japanese retail investors, potentially setting a record for the largest corporate retail bond offering in Japan. This would be SoftBank’s third retail bond issuance this year, following offerings in April and June. The bonds will have a seven-year maturity, while final terms, including the interest rate, will be determined in early September. Analysts expect a coupon rate above 4%. SoftBank is expected to use the proceeds for bond redemptions and investments in physical artificial intelligence, including corporate acquisitions.
South Korea Blocks Access to Polymarket, Citing Illegal Gambling Concerns
According to Odaily, South Korea’s Korea Communications Standards Commission determined on August 18 that prediction market platform Polymarket provides access to an illegal gambling environment and decided to block the platform. The commission said Polymarket allows users to wager on political, election, and sporting outcomes, while its winner-takes-all structure encourages speculation. Polymarket argued that it operates through non-custodial peer-to-peer transactions and smart contracts, does not organize the underlying events, and does not directly collect funds. South Korean regulators responded that the platform cannot use its technical structure to avoid the application of local laws.
Ethereum Foundation: Glamsterdam Gas Model Changes Could Break Some Wallets and Gas Estimation Tools
According to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum Foundation warned that the Glamsterdam upgrade will modify Ethereum’s gas model, potentially disrupting wallets, indexers, and gas estimation tools that rely on hard-coded maximum gas limits. EIP-8037 will introduce a separate State Gas dimension for operations that create new state. A standard ETH transfer to an existing account will continue to consume 21,000 gas, while transfers to new accounts will require additional State Gas. The upgrade also includes enshrined proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists, and increases to contract and initialization code size limits.
Ethereum Foundation Launches Platåberget Testnet Ahead of the August 20 Glamsterdam Upgrade
According to Odaily, the Ethereum Foundation has launched the public Platåberget testnet in preparation for the Glamsterdam upgrade fork scheduled for August 20. The testnet will be available to developers and is expected to remain operational for several months, allowing wallets, indexers, gas estimation tools, and other infrastructure providers to test compatibility with the new gas model. The Ethereum Foundation has urged development teams relying on fixed gas parameters to complete testing and necessary adjustments to reduce the risk of transaction failures, inaccurate fee estimates, or service disruptions when the relevant mechanisms are introduced on the mainnet.
FASB Proposes Classifying Eligible Stablecoins as Cash Equivalents on August 19
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board has proposed classifying eligible stablecoins as cash equivalents. Under the proposal, stablecoins backed by highly liquid reserves, redeemable for U.S. dollars at a 1:1 ratio, and subject to annual reserve disclosures could be placed in the same accounting category as Treasury bills, commercial paper, and money market funds. FASB said the proposal is intended to clarify how the existing definition of cash equivalents applies to certain digital assets and address inconsistencies in accounting treatment. The public comment period will remain open until November 19.

Security Alert
Users should remain alert to wallet phishing campaigns involving fake customer-support accounts, unsolicited social media messages, and malicious QR codes. Attackers may impersonate cryptocurrency platforms or hardware wallet providers and claim that users must verify their accounts, collect an airdrop, or complete a security upgrade. Victims are then directed to fraudulent websites and asked to disclose seed phrases or approve malicious wallet permissions, allowing attackers to transfer their assets. CertiK has identified QR-code phishing as a notable security threat in 2026. Users should never disclose private keys or seed phrases, should carefully verify website domains, and must review the requesting contract, affected assets, and spending limits before approving wallet permissions. QR codes and customer-support links from unknown sources should be rejected, while significant holdings should preferably be stored in a separate hardware wallet.
