ECB Pushes Back on Calls to Loosen Rules for Euro Stablecoins, Citing Stability Risks
May 23 — The European Central Bank has rejected suggestions to relax the EU's regulatory regime for euro-denominated stablecoins, warning that lighter rules could heighten risks to financial stability and disrupt monetary policy transmission. The push for change surfaced during an informal gathering of EU finance ministers in Nicosia, Cyprus. Think tank Bruegel proposed reducing liquidity requirements for stablecoin issuers and allowing them, in certain circumstances, to tap ECB funding. The aim would be to curb the dominance of dollar-linked stablecoins and avoid what it described as "digital dollarization." ECB officials, including President Christine Lagarde, opposed the idea. They argued that stablecoins could draw funds away from bank deposits, raise banks' funding costs, constrain lending, and complicate interest-rate policy. While some finance ministers offered mixed reactions, multiple central-bank officials questioned whether the ECB should serve as a "lender of last resort" for stablecoin issuers. The EU is currently applying strict stablecoin requirements under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). In contrast, the U.S. GENIUS Act, passed in 2025, takes a more permissive approach. Euro-denominated stablecoins represent about 0.3% of global stablecoin supply. Europe is also advancing its digital euro project as part of a broader effort to strengthen payments autonomy.

Germany Rejects Greens' Crypto Tax Plan, Keeps One-Year Capital Gains Exemption
Germany's Finance Committee has voted down a proposal from Bündnis 90/Die Grünen that sought to abolish the country's one-year tax exemption for crypto assets. The decision leaves current rules unchanged: private investors can sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies tax-free if they have held them for more than 12 months. Most parliamentary factions opposed the draft or held back support. Die Linke was the only party to back the proposal, while also criticizing the bill for administrative complexity and for failing to set clear limits on offsetting trading losses from crypto transactions. Under Germany's existing tax treatment, the one-year holding period has been a key feature for long-term crypto investors and has helped the country stand out in Europe. The Greens argued the exemption no longer reflects today's market, saying it was originally intended for physical items such as antiques rather than highly liquid digital tokens that can be traded globally at any time. CDU/CSU lawmakers said the bill would create fresh loopholes and raised fairness concerns, pointing to a potential mismatch in taxation between crypto and assets such as precious metals and foreign currencies. AfD also rejected the proposal, arguing more broadly against expanding tax sources. The SPD did not rule out tightening crypto taxation but said it would wait for Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil to present his own proposals before supporting specific legal changes. Earlier reports have suggested Klingbeil could revisit the one-year exemption as part of wider budget and tax planning. The Greens cited research from the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center estimating that ending the exemption could generate €11.4 billion in annual tax revenue, though the party said it used a lower figure in its own calculations to remain conservative. The committee vote comes as retail access to crypto-linked products in Germany continues to expand. ING Deutschland recently opened trading in crypto ETNs to retail clients, offering exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and crypto index products via standard securities accounts without requiring customers to manage wallets or private keys. Deutsche Börse has also been listing a growing range of crypto ETNs on Xetra, tracking both individual tokens and baskets of digital assets. For now, the long-term holding rule remains in place, though investors must still comply with reporting requirements and note that other crypto activities, including income from staking or lending, may be taxed differently.

JPMorgan's Kinexys Blockchain Tops $1.5 Trillion in Transactions Since 2020
JPMorgan said its blockchain-based platform Kinexys has processed more than $1.5 trillion in total transactions since launching in 2020, with daily volumes running above $2 billion. In May 2026, the bank applied to launch a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund on Kinexys, aimed at satisfying reserve-asset requirements for stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. JPMorgan's Q3 2025 13F filing also showed the firm raised its stake in the iShares Bitcoin Trust by 64% to 5.28 million shares, worth about $343 million. Looking ahead, Kinexys and Digital Asset plan to bring JPM Coin to the Canton Network in 2026, enabling institutional settlement of deposit tokens on public infrastructure. (financefeeds)

SEC Postpones Planned Exemption Framework for Tokenized U.S. Stocks
CoinMarketCap reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pushed back a regulatory proposal that had been expected in the near term. The framework was designed to expand exemptions for U.S. crypto firms offering trading in tokenized assets tied to equities, leaving companies preparing such products waiting longer. Tokenized stocks have drawn increasing interest in recent months from both crypto markets and traditional securities participants. Backers argue that putting stock trading on blockchain networks could tighten the link between the two ecosystems, but regulatory sequencing is now slowing progress. The report adds that tokenized stocks, along with the crypto industry's favored Crypto Clarity Act, remain delayed, with no clear near-term implementation schedule. SEC Chair Paul Atkins had previously said institutions would soon roll out a so-called "innovation exemption" proposal, effectively a regulatory sandbox for on-chain stock products that would allow certain projects to be tested. Sources familiar with the matter said a draft had already been prepared and reviewed by SEC staff, but publication has been postponed. For firms planning tokenized-asset launches, the delay extends previously targeted timelines. Addressing criticism, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce wrote on X that the framework is narrowly tailored and limited to digital representations of existing underlying stocks, excluding synthetic assets. She said that if investors can buy a given stock on the secondary market today, what would trade under the framework would be the digital representation of that same stock, adding that some outside commentary on the rule has been overstated.

Kevin Warsh Sworn In as Fed Chair; Investors Brace for Potential Volatility
Kevin Warsh was sworn in on May 22, 2026 as the new Chair of the Federal Reserve, taking over from Jerome Powell. President Donald J. Trump administered the oath, capping a process that began with Warsh's January nomination and ended with a 54–45 Senate confirmation. Warsh's arrival is sharpening investor focus on the market's tendency to turn volatile when Fed leadership changes. Traders also continue to parse remarks associated with Warsh, including: “Inflation is a choice, and the Fed must take responsibility for it” and “Inflation is the Fed's choice.” No new policy guidance or detailed comments were issued during the swearing-in. The concern is rooted in precedent. On February 5, 2018—Powell's first day as Fed Chair—U.S. equities sold off sharply: the S&P 500 fell 4.1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,500 points intraday before ending about 4.6% lower (1,175 points). Historical data reinforce the pattern of early jitters. Over the past 20 years, the S&P 500 has declined on the first trading day under each new Fed Chair, including a 0.9% drop when Janet Yellen took the helm in 2014 and a 2.2% decline at the start of Ben Bernanke's tenure in 2006. Analysts often describe the move as markets “testing” the new leadership as they reassess the likely policy tone, communications style, interest-rate path, balance-sheet strategy, and the broader direction of monetary policy. Crypto markets have been watchful as well, given that transitions at the Fed have historically coincided with meaningful drawdowns across Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets. Some in the crypto community view Warsh as relatively receptive to BTC and financial innovation; he has previously called BTC an “important asset” that can inform policymakers and serve as a market signal. At the time of publication, BTC was trading at $76,732.48 with no major price move linked to the swearing-in. Risk appetite remained muted, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 39.

California Orders Hermes Bitcoin ATMs Shut After 14,120 Compliance Violations
California's Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has ordered Hermes Bitcoin to disable all 42 of its digital asset kiosks in Southern California and has permanently barred the company from operating any digital financial asset business in the state. Regulators cited more than 14,120 cases of missing or improper receipts and required customer disclosures dating back to Jan. 1, 2024, along with fees that exceeded the legal cap and failures tied to anti-money laundering controls. The kiosks are operated by Anh Management, LLC, which does business as Hermes Bitcoin. According to the DFPI, the operator violated California's Digital Financial Assets Law (DFAL) across multiple areas. Since Jan. 1, 2025, the company processed 3,006 transactions that breached state rules. Over the longer period beginning Jan. 1, 2024, the DFPI documented more than 14,120 instances in which customers did not receive compliant receipts or pre-transaction disclosures. The DFPI also said Hermes Bitcoin charged fees above what DFAL allows, exceeded transaction limits set under state law, and failed to adequately collect customer identification information required for anti-money laundering compliance. The latest action follows earlier enforcement. In September and October 2025, the DFPI issued desist-and-refrain orders against Hermes Bitcoin and an affiliated entity, Coin Time LLC, citing similar compliance issues across thousands of transactions and seeking restitution for customers who were overcharged. Under the current settlement, all 42 kiosks must be shut down by May 20, 2026. The order permanently prohibits Hermes Bitcoin from engaging in any digital financial asset business activities within California. California's DFAL established a licensing and oversight framework for digital asset kiosk operators, including transaction limits, fee caps, and disclosure requirements. The law limits fees to no more than the greater of $5 or 15% of the transaction amount and caps transactions at $1,000 per day per person. Market impact is expected to be minimal, as no specific tokens are implicated and 42 kiosks represent a small slice of the national Bitcoin ATM network. For kiosk operators, the Hermes Bitcoin case underscores the consequences of weak compliance programs: thousands of noncompliant transactions and more than 14,000 disclosure failures accumulated, suggesting controls were absent or not consistently followed.

FDIC Moves Toward Compliance Rules for Stablecoin Issuers
CoinDesk, May 23 — The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is preparing to introduce compliance standards for stablecoin issuers. Grayscale Research said clearer, more transparent regulation could accelerate adoption and spark a wave of new blockchain applications. In Washington, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) again delayed efforts tied to tokenized equities, including a blockchain-based token stock initiative and proposals that would allow trading tokenized U.S. stocks through exemptions. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $76,000. In Japan, stablecoin issuer JPYC closed a $32 million Series B round. Bank of America reported nearly $53 million in exposure to crypto ETFs in the first quarter. On positioning, an "BTC OG" whale increased short exposure by adding 3,414.23 ZEC short positions. Abraxas Capital’s main address added 1.92 million FARTCOIN short positions. Kevin Warsh has been sworn in as Chair of the Federal Reserve.

FDIC Unveils Proposed AML and Sanctions Compliance Standards for Supervised Stablecoin Issuers
According to ME News, on May 23 (UTC+8) the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) released a proposed rule that would set Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and sanctions compliance standards for stablecoin issuers under its supervision. The proposal follows requirements in the GENIUS Act directing federal banking regulators to build a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers. The FDIC had previously floated two proposals covering how bank subsidiaries would apply to become stablecoin issuers, along with capital, liquidity, and risk-management requirements. The new proposal expands the compliance perimeter, requiring stablecoin issuers to meet antimoney laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) obligations, U.S. economic sanctions requirements, and related reporting duties, including those administered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The FDIC also said it intends to put in place supervisory and enforcement mechanisms for AML/CFT programs. After publication in the Federal Register, the proposal will be subject to a 60-day public comment period. (Source: BlockBeats)

Emmer Says Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act Folded Into Senate's CLARITY Act
Rep. Tom Emmer said his Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act has been included in the Senate version of the CLARITY Act. Emmer said the move would give developers a clearer framework for operating in the U.S. and reduce the risk of government interference. He also said he wants to prevent a repeat of cases like "Scam BankmanFraud." (CoinDesk)

CLARITY Act: House Advances Latest Version of U.S. Crypto Market Rules
Rep. Tom Emmer says the CLARITY Act has been years in the making. The House Majority Whip and co-chair of the Congressional Crypto Caucus described the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 as the roughly "fifth or sixth iteration" of Congress's effort to establish a federal framework for regulating digital assets. The legislation, H.R. 3633, was introduced on May 29, 2025, by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Rep. French Hill. Its central aim is to clarify which federal regulator oversees which parts of the digital asset market, where the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have asserted overlapping and sometimes conflicting jurisdiction. A key feature is a "mature blockchain" test, a classification standard intended to determine when a digital asset should be treated as a commodity rather than a security. If a network meets specified decentralization thresholds, its native token could be viewed as a digital commodity instead of an investment contract subject to SEC oversight. The bill also outlines circumstances under which certain decentralized networks may be treated as non-securities, and states that noncustodial digital asset providers would not be classified as money transmitters. Emmer has argued that law enforcement objections to this provision are overstated, saying the approach addresses illicit finance risks without stifling innovation. The House passed the CLARITY Act on July 17, 2025, by a bipartisan vote of 294–134. The Senate Banking Committee advanced an updated version on May 14, 2026, by a 15–9 vote. Emmer's role extends beyond H.R. 3633. He has previously introduced and reintroduced the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, elements of which were later incorporated into the CLARITY Act. His description of the current proposal as a fifth or sixth version underscores both the complexity of the issue and the persistence of its backers. For investors, the "mature blockchain" test could be particularly significant for major layer-1 networks and their ecosystems. Demonstrating sufficient decentralization could allow a token to avoid more onerous securities regulation, influencing exchange listings, retail marketing practices, and how projects structure governance. For decentralized finance, the noncustodial provider provision could be especially impactful. Clarifying that writing or deploying noncustodial software does not make an entity a money transmitter could ease a major deterrent for U.S. developers. The bill still must clear the full Senate, and any reconciliation between House and Senate versions could reshape the final text. The contrast between the House's 294–134 margin and the Senate committee's 15–9 vote suggests the measure may face a more difficult path in the upper chamber, and the enacted version could differ from what the House approved.
