According to Odaily, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a roundtable meeting scheduled for June 26 to discuss executive compensation disclosure requirements. The meeting will include representatives from public companies, investors, and experts in the field. The SEC's statement highlights that the focus of these disclosures has increasingly shifted towards the components of compensation rather than the total amount. It remains unclear whether this added complexity provides investors with crucial information for making investment and voting decisions. The SEC emphasizes the need for a retrospective review of the executive compensation disclosure rules to ensure they remain cost-effective while avoiding the inclusion of excessive non-essential information.#SEC #ExecutiveCompensation #DisclosureRules #PublicCompanies #Investors #RoundtableMeeting #InvestmentDecisions #VotingDecisions #CostEffective

π UK to Enforce New Crypto Reporting Rules in 2026
#UK #Crypto #Regulation #TaxEvasion #CARF #Reporting #Cryptocurrency #Transparency #FinancialRegulation #Compliance
According to BlockBeats, starting January 1, 2026, cryptocurrency companies operating in the United Kingdom will be required to collect and report detailed user and transaction data under a new regulation introduced by the UK tax authority.
This change follows the UK's adoption of the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), a global standard aimed at combating tax evasion and aligning the transparency of the crypto industry with that of the banking sector.
Under the new rules, crypto platforms must identify each user and record their legal identity information, address, and taxpayer identification number.
Additionally, platforms must document every transaction involving UK users or users from other CARF-participating countries, detailing the transaction amount, asset type, quantity, and nature of the transfer.
These requirements also apply to overseas companies providing services to UK customers. In cases of incorrect or incomplete reporting, each user could face a fine of up to Β£300.#UK #Crypto #Regulation #TaxEvasion #CARF #Reporting #Cryptocurrency #Transparency #FinancialRegulation #Compliance
π Bitcoin's Market Dominance Expected to Stabilize Amid Economic Uncertainty
#Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #MarketDominance #EconomicUncertainty #AltcoinSeason #Blockchain #CryptocurrencyMarket #MarketShare #Macroeconomics #TechnologicalAdvancements #UserAdoption #BTC
According to Odaily, Bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market has recently declined, but analysts suggest this does not signal the onset of an 'altcoin season.' Grayscale's Head of Research, Zach Pandl, noted that Bitcoin's dominance might increase when the market focuses on macroeconomic instability and risks facing the U.S. dollar. Conversely, it may decrease when attention shifts to blockchain technology applications and innovations in the crypto sector.
Pandl further stated that over the next 9 to 12 months, Bitcoin's market share is likely to stabilize between 60% and 70% of the overall market, rather than experiencing a significant drop. He emphasized that predicting this trend is challenging due to the different positive factors influencing both Bitcoin and altcoins. From a macroeconomic perspective, there is a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, while technological advancements and user adoption present favorable conditions for altcoins.
Pandl's fundamental assumption is that Bitcoin's dominance will begin to stabilize from its current position.#Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #MarketDominance #EconomicUncertainty #AltcoinSeason #Blockchain #CryptocurrencyMarket #MarketShare #Macroeconomics #TechnologicalAdvancements #UserAdoption #BTC

According to PANews, Hong Kong police have dismantled a cross-border money laundering syndicate operating between mainland China and Hong Kong. The operation, named 'Night Raid,' led to the arrest of 12 individuals involved in laundering proceeds from fraudulent activities amounting to HK$118 million.
Chief Inspector Lo Wan-shan of the Commercial Crime Bureau's Fraud Investigation Team stated that between July 2024 and May 2025, the criminal group recruited mainland individuals to open puppet bank accounts in Hong Kong. These accounts were primarily used to receive proceeds from various fraud cases. The syndicate utilized over 500 bank accounts to launder HK$118 million.
Among the laundered funds, HK$10 million has been confirmed as part of the proceeds from 58 reported fraud cases, in which victims suffered losses totaling approximately HK$43.2 million. The operation involved withdrawing cash from these accounts and converting it into cryptocurrency at virtual asset exchange shops to further obscure the money trail.#HongKong #MoneyLaundering #Fraud #Crime #Cryptocurrency #BankAccounts #MainlandChina #OperationNightRaid #CommercialCrime #PoliceArrest

π Ethereum Developers Discuss Consensus Layer Upgrades and Future Plans
#Ethereum #ConsensusLayer #DevelopersMeeting #PectraUpgrade #CommunityInput #Fusaka #BPO #ValidatorHosting #EIP #ProposalDevelopment #MainnetImplementation #ETH
According to Odaily, the 157th Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developers Meeting (ACDC) has been held, focusing on several key developments. The Pectra upgrade has been successfully completed, with core developer Trent summarizing technical feedback from various teams. The "Pectra Pages" remain open for more community input. Meanwhile, Pari is analyzing the impact of increased blob data.
In the Fusaka direction, peerdas-devnet-7 is running stably, and client teams are concentrating on developing BPO support. The goal is to launch fusaka-devnet-0 on May 26, which will include PeerDAS, BPO, and MODEXP gas cost increases as part of the EIP. Discussions on validator hosting specifications are ongoing asynchronously on Discord.
The ACD meeting structure is proposed to undergo reorganization. Tim has suggested focusing ACDT on the current fork (N) and ACDE/C on the next fork (N+1). This structural adjustment aims to involve the broader community earlier in the proposal development process and establish a mechanism to track EIP proposals from inception to mainnet implementation. The new proposal structure is expected to lock in main functions by early July, with smaller EIPs integrated subsequently.#Ethereum #ConsensusLayer #DevelopersMeeting #PectraUpgrade #CommunityInput #Fusaka #BPO #ValidatorHosting #EIP #ProposalDevelopment #MainnetImplementation #ETH
π ETH Faces Key Resistance Levels Amid Market Dynamics
#ETH #Crypto #MarketAnalysis #Whales #ResistanceLevels #SupportLevels #OnChainData #Accumulation #Investment #Blockchain
According to BlockBeats, on-chain data analyst Murphy has analyzed the cost basis distribution of ETH over the past six months, identifying significant accumulation zones that ETH must navigate to sustain its upward trend.
ETH needs to maintain support around the $1,500 to $1,600 range, a level established by whale investors two years ago. Despite some selling over time, approximately 1.2 million ETH remain held at this level. If this support fails, prices could drop to $1,200, potentially turning these holdings into trapped positions. However, this level appears to have been safely navigated.
After rebounding from $1,500, ETH encountered strong resistance between $1,800 and $1,900, a zone where whales accumulated nearly 2 million ETH in June 2023. ETH has recently broken through this resistance, and there are no significant signs of selling from these cost zones, indicating that whales are not satisfied with the current price levels.
In the $2,700 to $2,800 range, approximately 4.7 million ETH are held, currently at a loss. These holders, who began accumulating at around $3,500 in January 2025, have averaged down their costs to this range. If ETH can break through this level, there will be no significant trapped positions above. The most substantial selling pressure currently comes from the 2.27 million ETH accumulated near $1,800, with 1.01 million ETH remaining as of May 16, after gradual selling during the price rise to $2,600.

According to BlockBeats, data from El Salvador's Ministry of Finance reveals that the country has increased its Bitcoin holdings by one more unit, bringing the total to 6,180.18 Bitcoins, valued at over $638 million. In the past week, El Salvador has added eight Bitcoins, and in the last 30 days, it has acquired 31 Bitcoins, maintaining its plan to purchase one Bitcoin daily.
In recent months, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has pressured El Salvador to halt the accumulation of decentralized value storage assets. In December 2024, El Salvador reached an agreement with the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan. As part of the agreement, El Salvador agreed to revoke Bitcoin's status as legal tender and reduce public sector involvement with Bitcoin. On April 27, Rodrigo Valdes, Director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, stated at a spring meeting press conference that El Salvador continues to adhere to its commitment not to accumulate Bitcoin in the overall fiscal sector, a key performance indicator in its agreement with the IMF.#ElSalvador #Bitcoin #IMF #cryptocurrency #finance #decentralized #investment #financialnews #BTC
