The Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, Ivan Chebeskov, stated that he does not wish to allow dollar-denominated stablecoins to circulate in the Russian market. Chebeskov pointed out that foreign stablecoin issuers such as USDT and USDC have the ability to freeze users' wallet assets. Once the relevant wallets engage in transactions with platforms licensed by the Central Bank of Russia, the risk of asset freezing for holders will significantly increase.He revealed that there have already been cases where dollar stablecoins held by Russian legal entities were frozen by the issuers, while Bitcoin and Ethereum have not encountered similar situations due to the lack of relevant technical means. The Russian Ministry of Finance believes it is necessary to establish a regulatory framework specifically for stablecoins and to prioritize the development of stablecoins pegged to the ruble and the currencies of friendly countries, while also granting the Central Bank of Russia the authority to adjust the list of relevant assets.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice have sued the state of Minnesota and Governor Tim Walz, opposing the state's newly signed prediction market ban. The new Minnesota law will take effect on August 1, prohibiting users from participating in prediction market trading related to outcomes such as sports, weather, company valuations, and government events. The CFTC stated in the lawsuit that this is the first state-level law in the U.S. that explicitly and comprehensively bans prediction markets. The CFTC and the Department of Justice believe that the relevant products fall under federally regulated derivatives and "swap" contracts, which should be exclusively regulated by the CFTC, and that the state government has no authority to classify them as illegal gambling or to prohibit them. This lawsuit further intensifies the jurisdictional conflict between federal regulators and state gaming regulatory agencies. Previously, the CFTC had sued states like Illinois, Arizona, and Connecticut, opposing their attempts to shut down prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket.
