The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States has approved the creation and redemption in kind for products negotiated in Bitcoin and Ether (ETP), marking a significant change in regulation in the cryptographic space. This change allows authorized participants to transform directly into cryptographic assets, rather than using money alone. The president of the SEC, Paul S. Atkins, said that this decision was part of a broader effort to develop a tailor -made regulatory framework for the evolution of the cryptographic industry (1). In addition to the approval in kind, the SEC has also approved several measures, in particular the list of Mixed Bitcoin and Ether ETPS, the introduction of options and the flexion options on specific Bitcoin ETPs, and increased position limits on Bitcoin etp options at 250,000 contracts. These changes should improve efficiency, reduce costs and provide greater flexibility to issuers and investors (1).
In the meantime, Tron took a step forward in its strategic change towards the crypto by depositing the registration of the SEC under rule 415, allowing a continuous supply of titles and greater flexibility in the capital lifting (1).

In an important partnership, Octane has collaborated with Avalanche to integrate real -time security in the web development process. The tool fueled by AI analyzes the code when writing, reducing audit costs and accelerating deployment while eliminating safety surprises at an advanced stage. Already, the system has obtained more than $ 261 million in total locked value (TVL) and reported problems neglected by manual audits (1). The partnership highlights an increasing accent on the integration of security in the first stages of development, in particular on the avalanche ecosystem.
At the regional level, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority introduced a regulatory framework of Stablecoin from August 1, which includes strict license rules, a public register and criminal penalties for unauthorized offers for retail investors (1). South Korea should also publish guidelines on cryptography loans in August, targeting leveraged practices raised by exchanges and focusing on transparency and protection of investors (1). On the other hand, the Chinese government has sentenced eight Kuaishou employees for having diverted $ 20 million and laundered the funds via Bitcoin, despite the continuous ban on the country (1).
Global regulatory actions continue to shape the cryptographic landscape. The United States Ministry of Justice seeks to lose more than $ 2.4 million in Bitcoin linked to the Chaos Ransomware group, after the FBI of Dallas funds used for money laundering and cyber standard (1). In a separate case, Rowland Marcus Andrade, the creator of AML Bitcoin, was sentenced to seven years in prison for having defrauded investors and bleached the funds with a fraudulent initial offer (ICO) (1).
The Trump administration reaffirmed its plan to build a reserve of American strategic bitcoin, call Bitcoin “in a separate class” and emphasize a long -term accumulation without disclosing the current assets (1). In addition, Ray Dalio de Bridgewater Associates suggested a 15% portfolio allocation to bitcoin or gold as a concern for American debt, although it has remained skeptical about the role of bitcoin as a reserve ratio (1).
The Ether machine celebrated Ethereum’s 10th anniversary by buying an ETH value of $ 57 million to extend its institutional quality treasure and donated $ 100,000 to the basic developers of Ethereum through the Guild protocol (1). Meanwhile, Bolivia and Salvador have signed an agreement to advance the adoption of cryptography, recognizing it as a viable alternative to traditional money and aimed at modernizing financial systems thanks to shared regulatory information (1).
These developments illustrate a regulatory and rapidly evolving market environment of cryptocurrencies, with opportunities and challenges emerging for investors, developers and governments.
