According to Cointelegraph, a report by Chainalysis indicates that from the first quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2026, the number of independent wallets sending peer-to-peer (P2P) stablecoin transactions in China increased 43 times.During the reporting period from July 2025 to June 2026, Chainalysis recorded 18.1 million transfers involving self-custodied stablecoin holdings in China, totaling $10.41 billion. The annual turnover rate of stablecoin holdings was 33.2 times, more than three times the global average of 9.3 times. Chainalysis believes this characteristic aligns with users using stablecoins as working capital.Chainalysis estimates that the size of China's crypto economy is at least $176 billion, with domestic P2P activities accounting for 59.1%, which is 3.5 times the share during the 2025 reporting period. In March 2026, the volume of stablecoin transfers within China increased by $4.9 billion, marking the largest monthly increase during the reporting period. This growth occurred amid China's long-standing restrictions on crypto trading, as regulators introduced new rules in February targeting unauthorized RMB-pegged stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets.Chainalysis pointed out that China's P2P-dominated market contrasts with other markets in East Asia. South Korea, with $449.1 billion, has become the largest crypto economy in East Asia, with activity growing by 12.3% compared to the previous reporting period, and retail investors showing a preference for AI-related tokens. Institutional platforms in Hong Kong accounted for 16% of service inflows, nearly three times that of regional neighbors, and recorded nearly $24 billion in business-to-business inflows, issuing the first batch of stablecoin licenses in April.

Grayscale's parent company DCG stated on the X platform that last week the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed reforms to the accredited investor system, allowing certain investors to qualify for participation in the private market through exams and other means. This initiative was suggested by DCG founder Barry Silbert as early as 15 years ago.It is reported that Barry Silbert raised the issue during the founding of SecondMarket around 2011, stating that the SEC's "accredited investor" system primarily relies on income and net asset standards, but wealth levels do not necessarily represent investment capability. Some high-net-worth individuals may not possess sufficient financial knowledge, while some ordinary investors should also have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the private market if they pass the financial literacy tests set by regulatory agencies.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against a member of Hamas's military wing, two French nationals, and two charitable organizations, accusing them of raising over $2 million for Hamas through cryptocurrency and so-called humanitarian donations in a fundraising campaign that lasted six years.The Treasury stated that Faouzi Barika and Amel Oualid raised funds in France under the guise of humanitarian efforts, subsequently transferring the money to Hamas. This network raised over $2 million between 2020 and 2026, with $1.5 million occurring after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The two also sent hundreds of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency to Saleem Abdallah Saleem al-Zaq in Gaza, who is the deputy battalion commander of Hamas's Kassam Brigades.The sanctions freeze the assets of the relevant entities within U.S. jurisdiction, and Americans are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. Foreign financial institutions that knowingly facilitate significant transactions may face secondary sanctions risks, and restrictions also extend to companies in which the sanctioned parties hold more than 50% directly or indirectly. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that terrorist organizations like Hamas rely on complex financial intermediaries and fraudulent means. This move indicates U.S. concern about the role of cryptocurrency in broader fundraising networks, rather than viewing it as Hamas's primary source of funding.
