According to ChainCatcher, a federal court has ruled that NGS Group Limited and its affiliates, NGS Crypto and NGS Digital, operated financial services without holding an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license. As a result, they have been permanently banned from conducting related business and ordered to liquidate. Approximately 450 Australian investors invested around 59 million AUD through these companies, primarily via self-managed superannuation funds encouraged by NGS. The court has appointed professionals from McGrath Nicol as liquidators to manage the company's assets and attempt to return funds to investors. Sarah Court, Deputy Chair of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), stated that NGS companies blatantly disregarded Australian financial services laws, leaving investors without basic protections. The ASIC's investigation into the company and its directors is ongoing.

According to Foresight News, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the upcoming retirement of Cicely LaMothe, the Deputy Director of the Division of Corporation Finance. LaMothe has been instrumental in issuing over 25 new and revised compliance and disclosure interpretations, covering topics such as rebate provisions, de-SPAC transactions, and Rule 10b5-1. She also released Staff Legal Bulletin 14M, providing insights on the applicability of Rule 14a-8, and issued seven staff statements on rapidly evolving crypto-related issues, including liquid staking, stablecoins, mining activities, meme coins, and crypto ETPs. LaMothe joined the Division of Corporation Finance in 2002 and has held several senior leadership roles, including Director of the Disclosure Review Program, Deputy Director of the Office of Assessment and Continuous Improvement, and Deputy Director of Disclosure Operations. In 2022, she was appointed as the Deputy Director of Disclosure Operations.

According to PANews, the South Korean Supreme Court has upheld a four-year prison sentence for a cryptocurrency exchange employee involved in an espionage case. The employee was found guilty of assisting North Korean hackers in recruiting a South Korean army captain to exchange military secrets for Bitcoin. The employee received $487,000 in Bitcoin from the hackers and paid the captain $33,500 in Bitcoin as compensation. The court ruled that the employee violated the National Security Act, posing a threat to national security. The involved army captain had previously been sentenced to ten years in prison and fined for breaching the Military Secrets Protection Act. Investigations revealed that North Korean hackers instructed the employee to provide the captain with a "watch-shaped hidden camera" and a USB hacking device intended for use on military laptops to remotely access the Korea-U.S. Joint Command Control System, although the attempt was unsuccessful.

According to BlockBeats, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brett Knoblauch has forecasted that Bitcoin may be entering the early stages of a 'crypto winter,' reflecting its historical four-year cycle pattern. He suggests that Bitcoin's price could remain under pressure for several months and might even test Strategy Company's average cost price of around $75,000. Unlike previous downturns, this adjustment may not be characterized by large-scale liquidations or systemic collapses. Knoblauch notes that the current market landscape is being shaped by institutional participants rather than retail traders. He highlights a growing gap between token price performance and 'underlying real progress,' particularly in areas such as decentralized finance (DeFi), asset tokenization, and crypto infrastructure.

Japan is moving forward with a major overhaul of its crypto taxation framework, proposing a flat 20% tax on profits from digital assets under its 2026 tax reform plan. While this marks a significant reduction from the current 55% rate, the new policy currently applies only to a limited set of “specified” crypto assets, leaving many to wonder what that means.
