The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a report indicating that cryptocurrency exchanges are gradually providing bank-like services, such as lending and earn products, but lack the regulation and deposit protection found in traditional financial systems, posing systemic risks.The report states that these high-yield products are essentially closer to "unsecured loans," where user assets are often used by the platform for high-risk operations such as lending, trading, or market making, and users only hold a creditor position against the platform. If the platform encounters problems, users will be directly exposed to repayment risks. The BIS also noted that leading cryptocurrency platforms have evolved from single exchanges into "multi-functional intermediaries," integrating the functions of banks, brokerages, and exchanges, but lacking transparency and risk isolation mechanisms. The previous collapses of Celsius Network and FTX are typical cases of such structural risks. Additionally, the report mentioned that the flash crash in the cryptocurrency market in October 2025 triggered approximately $19 billion in forced liquidations, highlighting the chain reaction risks under high leverage and opaque structures.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the number of large transfers sent to exchanges by wholecoiners (investors holding at least 1 full BTC) has significantly decreased.Currently, the average monthly transfer volume of this type on Binance is only about 6,000 BTC, comparable to levels in 2018, and far below the 15,400 BTC seen in 2021. Globally, the transfer volume has dropped from a peak of 80,000 BTC in 2018 to about 27,500 BTC.Darkfost pointed out that this trend is partly due to the continuous rise in Bitcoin prices making it increasingly difficult to hold full BTC, and it also reflects a profound change in market structure: products like ETFs allow investors to gain exposure without directly holding BTC, while more and more investors are shifting to long-term holding strategies.He believes this means that selling pressure has eased, but it has also led to a gradual decline in the liquidity of Bitcoin supply on exchanges.

According to CoinDesk, the Financial Services Commission of South Korea and the Financial Supervisory Service jointly issued new regulations requiring all domestic cryptocurrency exchanges to adopt a unified withdrawal delay review standard to curb voice phishing scams.The new regulations eliminate the authority of each exchange to set its own withdrawal exemption conditions, and reviews will be conducted uniformly based on standards such as account history, trading patterns, and behavioral anomalies. It is expected that less than 1% of users will qualify for instant withdrawals. Platforms must also enhance identity verification and fund flow monitoring.Previously, scam groups exploited the exemption rules of various platforms to guide victims to convert cash into cryptocurrency and complete withdrawals within minutes. This new regulation marks a shift in South Korea's cryptocurrency risk control system from industry self-regulation to a national unified standard.

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea announced on Monday that, in response to the internal control vulnerabilities exposed by the recent Bithumb payment incident, it has required all domestic cryptocurrency exchanges to conduct reconciliations of their ledgers and actual assets every five minutes.Emergency inspections revealed that three of the five major exchanges in the country only reconcile once a day, making it difficult to timely identify and address discrepancies; some systems are unable to automatically suspend trading when significant mismatches occur, raising regulatory concerns. According to the new regulations:Exchanges must establish an automated ledger-wallet reconciliation system with a cycle of five minutes.Standards for triggering automatic trading suspension due to significant discrepancies must be set.High-risk processes (such as promotional payments) must undergo enhanced scrutiny, including third-party reviews and multi-level approvals.High-risk accounts must be managed independently, and payments must use automated verification tools.The frequency of external audits will change from quarterly to monthly, with the disclosure scope expanded to include detailed asset balances by wallet and ledger. The FSC stated that it will complete the relevant rule revisions by April 2026. Previously, Bithumb announced that its IPO plan would be postponed until after 2028 to strengthen internal controls and accounting policies by 2027; at the same time, the equity swap between Naver Financial and Dunamu will also be completed by the end of September.

According to CoinPost, the Japanese Financial Services Agency has officially announced the "Cybersecurity Enhancement Guidelines for Cryptocurrency Asset Exchange Businesses." This guideline is based on 18 opinions collected from February to March 2026, with the primary goal of protecting investor assets, proposing a three-tiered security enhancement framework of "self-help (individual businesses), mutual assistance (self-regulatory organizations), and public assistance (regulatory authorities)."The authorities pointed out that current cyber attacks have evolved from simple signature key theft to highly organized methods such as social engineering attacks and supply chain intrusions, making traditional cold wallet management insufficient to ensure security. Subsequently, the Financial Services Agency will implement threat-driven penetration testing (TLPT) on some major businesses and plans to revise operational guidelines to enhance cybersecurity personnel allocation and external audit standards.

Australia has officially passed the "2025 Company Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill," becoming the country's first comprehensive digital asset regulatory legislation. The bill requires cryptocurrency exchanges and custodial platforms to apply for a financial services license from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and to complete compliance within six months.The new law establishes two types of regulated entities: "digital asset platforms" and "tokenized custodial platforms," which are subject to the same core rules for client asset protection, information disclosure, and dispute resolution as brokers and fund managers. The aim is to prevent risks such as the mixing and misappropriation of client assets. Research institutions estimate that Australia could generate up to AUD 24 billion annually from the tokenized market, payments, and digital assets, accounting for about 1% of GDP; without a regulatory framework, this figure could drop to only about AUD 1 billion by 2030.

According to Cointelegraph, the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority has released a formal regulatory framework for cryptocurrency exchange-traded derivatives, allowing retail customers to participate in trading after a suitability assessment.The new regulations cover requirements such as customer suitability, leverage and margin controls, asset segregation, disclosure standards, and regulatory intervention powers. The leverage limit for retail investors is set at 5 times, and exchanges must restrict access when products are deemed unsuitable for specific customer groups.
