The crypto community's insistence on its identity is hindering the adoption of blockchain by traditional financial institutions, Canton Network founder Yuval Rooz said in an interview with DL News. He described the idea that blockchain technology is meant to completely eliminate intermediaries as very naive, arguing that its real purpose is to lower entry barriers in finance. Rooz stressed that designing systems to meet the demands of existing traditional financial institutions is inevitably necessary. He highlighted that Canton provides a feature allowing the deletion of past data to comply with European privacy laws, a function that conflicts with the blockchain principle of immutability but was essential for institutional acceptance. Rooz further noted that real-world assets (RWA) will become central to the market in the future, and that the completely permissionless systems advocated by the community are unlikely to gain traction in a world where regulatory compliance and identity verification are mandatory. Canton has previously faced criticism from within the crypto industry for designing its network to cater to the preferences of traditional finance.

Deposit tokens are emerging as a new alternative to stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) amid prolonged legal uncertainty surrounding stablecoins, Digital Times reported. A deposit token is a digital asset issued by a bank based on its deposits, distinguishing it from other stablecoins. This development comes as the Bank of Korea's CBDC pilot, Project Han River, enters its second phase. Kyongnam Bank and iM Bank have newly joined the project, which already included Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, NH Nonghyup, IBK, and Busan Bank from its first phase. The media outlet added that industry experts anticipate bank-based deposit tokens will likely serve a complementary role in circulation and payments even after a CBDC is introduced.

Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has issued new guidelines to clarify the rules for issuing stablecoins and real-world asset (RWA) tokens, Cointelegraph reported.

An X user (@bx1818), who claims to be an early investor in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has argued that shorting the token is the only way for investors to recover their principal. He warned that investors could lose their entire investment if they are lured by high interest rates into participating in WLFI's DeFi offerings, claiming the project's team has already withdrawn all funds from its pools. He compared the situation to the sustained decline of Curve (CRV) and urged investors not to hold onto any illusions. The user has identified himself as an early investor since before WLFI's launch and has previously mentioned suffering significant losses on his investment. Previously, the WLFI team reportedly borrowed over 50 million USD1 against 3 billion WLFI in collateral on its native lending platform, Dolomite, a move that effectively drained the project's liquidity. Following this news, the price of WLFI has been in a continuous decline. It is currently trading at $0.0917 on the Binance USDT spot market, down 6.43% over the past 24 hours.

The memecoin market has shifted from community-based investing to a form of esports-like trading where reaction speed is critical, BlockBeats reported. The average holding time for a memecoin on the Solana chain is now just 58 seconds, a sharp decrease from the one-day average three years ago. Many former professional gamers are reportedly engaged in these high-speed battles on platforms such as Pump.fun (PUMP). These traders have been observed profiting by searching for information within seven seconds of a popular post on X, purchasing the related memecoin within four seconds, and realizing gains in under three minutes. The outlet noted that top memecoin traders use high-performance PCs and internet connections to minimize latency, trading for more than 16 hours a day. BlockBeats added that the market is no longer a game of shared belief but has become a speculative arena where participants react to fleeting news to take funds from one another, concluding it is no longer suitable for investors with slower reaction times.

South Korea's National Tax Service (NTS) has yet to establish clear tax standards for various types of cryptocurrency income, including from DeFi, staking, and lending, ahead of the country's new virtual asset tax regime set to launch next January, The Herald Business reported. The issue came to light in a written response from the NTS submitted today to the office of People Power Party lawmaker Song Eon-seog. In the document, the NTS acknowledged a lack of clear guidelines for taxing income from staking, lending, airdrops, hard forks, and NFTs. When asked about its standards, scope, and methods for calculating acquisition costs for these income types, the agency stated it is still collecting information on international legislative examples and expert opinions. Furthermore, the report highlights difficulties in taxing profits earned on overseas exchanges located in jurisdictions outside the 56 nations participating in the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). This has raised concerns about tax fairness and potential capital flight.
