Florida has turned crypto ATM scam prevention into a business-liability test for kiosk operators.The state’s newly chaptered HB 505, now Chapter 2026-178, creates a virtual currency kiosk framework that will require fraud warnings, receipts, daily transaction caps, registration filings, and a conditional refund right for fraud victims.The timing matters. Most of the act takes effect Jan. 1, 2027, while the section requiring virtual currency kiosk businesses to register before operating starts March 1, 2027.That staged rollout gives operators time to prepare while setting a clear enforcement path for regulators. Florida is assigning kiosk businesses specific duties before, during, and after…

Taiwan has moved stablecoin issuance into a licensing test for supervised financial infrastructure.The Legislative Yuan passed the Virtual Asset Service Act on its third reading on June 30, establishing a dedicated framework for crypto trading platforms, stablecoin issuers, and other virtual asset service providers.The practical consequence is a stablecoin market where approval, reserves, domestic custody, audits, and no-yield limits determine who can scale before open-market crypto issuers have much room to compete.Under the new framework, stablecoin issuers must maintain full reserve backing, hold segregated reserve assets in trust through domestic financial institutions, undergo regular audits and avoid paying interest or other returns…

On June 29, the US Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump had the authority to remove the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, rejecting the statutory limits that previously allowed FTC commissioners to be fired only for cause.This decision overturned Humphrey’s Executor, the 1935 precedent that had protected certain independent agency commissioners from dismissal without cause for more than nine decades.The ruling stated:“Despite what Humphrey’s may say, independent agencies are not ‘independent’ in the sense that they are free of the President and thus responsive ‘only to the people of the United States.’”Trump celebrated the court’s decision on…

Europe’s crypto market resets on July 1, when MiCA’s transitional period ends and unauthorized exchanges lose the legal right to operate in the EU.Whether the deadline holds depends on the app stores on European phones.Under the ESMA’s June 23 statement, unauthorized crypto exchanges must immediately stop onboarding new EU clients, opening accounts, and marketing or soliciting business once the transitional period ends.Activity has to narrow to selling or transferring assets, closing positions, and holding custody only as long as strictly necessary.Clients who stay with a platform outside that perimeter lose MiCA’s protections entirely, including the safeguards covering client assets.Erald Ghoos,…

CoinNews photos showing the complete 10-coin set, protective lenses, presentation case, outer packaging and certificate of authenticity The United States Mint’s 2026 Semiquincentennial Silver Proof Set is available again, giving collectors another chance to purchase the 250th anniversary set directly after it remained unavailable for much of the period following its June 11 release. Priced at $245, the set opened with sales of 261,516, representing 96.4% of the Mint’s upwardly revised mintage limit of 271,250. It became unavailable not long after launch. Sales have since undergone two sizable downward adjustments. After falling by 15,229 in the prior report, the total…

Bitcoin is close to losing $58,000, and the test below that level is whether the buyer stack that defined the post-ETF bull case still holds.Near $58,522 with an intraday low near $58,135, the market is asking whether anyone will buy in size at current prices, and the answer depends on two pillars of demand that have both weakened in recent weeks.For most of the ETF era, bulls could point to a predictable answer. Regulated ETF wrappers created a repeatable demand channel, advisors and institutional allocators absorbed dips, and Strategy’s accumulation program turned every sell-off into a buying opportunity for the…

Australia’s July 1 AML/CTF deadline has turned regulated crypto transfers into a data workflow for exchanges and other virtual asset service providers.Users can still hold and move crypto in self-custody. The friction begins when funds pass through a reporting entity, where a transfer instruction can trigger identity, wallet, counterparty, secure-messaging, and record-keeping checks before assets move or become available.AUSTRAC’s transitional rules deferred some AML/CTF obligations for new registrable virtual asset services until July 1, 2026, including the rules covering transfers of value involving virtual assets.The agency’s guidance says those deferred services were not required to comply with Travel Rule obligations…

Bitcoin’s slide into the high-$50,000s has put my $49,000 cycle-low map back into the live market conversation.BTC is trading around $58,600 on July 1, down more than 19% over 30 days and roughly 53.5% below its all-time high of $126,198, according to CryptoSlate’s Bitcoin market data. 1D 7D 1M 1Y ALL Market Cap $1.17T 24h Volume $34.5B All-Time High $126,198.07 BTC printed around $60,000 from June 26 through June 29, then fell to $57,735 early July 1 during Asia trading hours.That leaves price close enough to my lower channel levels for the old framework to move from background risk to…

Crypto users spent years making USDC the default dollar of institutional DeFi trading, lending, and settlement, but Open Standard’s new Open USD stablecoin is testing whether the dollars users hold can be repaid.Open Standard says businesses will be able to mint and redeem Open USD for free, at unlimited volume, and that reserve earnings will flow to partner businesses net of a management fee.The initiative already has over 140 businesses, including Visa, Mastercard, and Coinbase. Open Standard frames the design around scale, earning by default, and a governance board drawn from partner businesses.That structure amounts to a real turn in…
