Brazil’s cryptocurrency market is entering a full-fledged regulatory phase, according to an analysis by blockchain security firm CertiK. As the Oct. 30 deadline set by Brazil’s central bank for virtual asset service provider, or PSAV, license applications approaches, local companies are ramping up efforts to strengthen regulatory compliance systems, CertiK said. Independent third-party compliance and security certifications are also shifting from an industry best practice to a key requirement for market entry, the firm added. Brazil ranks fifth globally in real-world crypto usage, with $318.8 billion in on-chain asset inflows recorded between June 2024 and June 2025, equivalent to one-third of all on-chain activity in South America during the same period.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said on X that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could surge if U.S. and Japanese efforts to strengthen the yen lead to a sharp increase in dollar liquidity. Hayes outlined three possible ways to support a stronger yen: aggressive rate hikes by the Bank of Japan; sales of overseas assets and purchases of domestic assets by institutions including Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund; and a mechanism in which Japan’s Ministry of Finance uses its U.S. Treasury holdings as collateral with the Federal Reserve to obtain dollars, then sells those dollars and buys yen in the foreign-exchange market. He argued the third option is the one preferred by U.S. and Japanese authorities. Hayes added that if the U.S. Treasury expands limits through the Federal Reserve’s FIMA repo facility, Japan could use its holdings to defend the yen, a process that could boost dollar liquidity and provide strong upside momentum for BTC and the broader crypto market.

Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr was stripped of his Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor privileges after a dispute over BIP-110 and allegations of conflict of interest. The move came after Murch of Bitcoin research group Localhost Research formally proposed Dashjr’s removal through a developer mailing list, saying Dashjr had lost neutrality as an editor during the handling of the controversial proposal, BIP-110, in which Dashjr was involved. Murch also alleged Dashjr exercised editorial authority in a biased way and repeatedly refused to coordinate with other editors, creating a serious conflict-of-interest issue. Just one day after the removal proposal, Dashjr’s editor and administrator privileges were revoked from the GitHub BIP repository. Dashjr dismissed the allegations as entirely false and denounced the decision as a clear abuse of power by some developers. BIP-110 is a proposal aimed at restricting the large-scale storage of data, including Ordinals and NFTs, on the Bitcoin blockchain.
