bitFlyer to Restrict Crypto Transfers for 48 Hours After Yen Deposits

โดย NADA NEWS·JP·Read original
Summary · why it matters

bitFlyer, a domestic cryptocurrency exchange operator, announced on October 2 that it will introduce a "cooldown" that partially restricts external transfers of crypto assets for 48 hours after a Japanese yen deposit. The measure, aimed at preventing fraud and illicit fund movements, takes effect on October 15. It applies to individual users who have completed identity verification less than 90 days earlier, who will be unable to send crypto assets equivalent to the amount of deposits made within 48 hours minus 100,000 yen to external addresses. If total deposits are 100,000 yen or less, no restriction applies; when multiple deposits are made, the rule applies to each deposit individually, and the restriction is lifted sequentially starting with each deposit once 48 hours have passed. During the cooldown, users can still deposit and withdraw Japanese yen, trade crypto assets, and hold and receive them. Across the industry, the National Police Agency and the Financial Services Agency jointly asked the Japan Crypto Asset Exchange Association on August 6 to strengthen measures to prevent fraud, and Coincheck also announced on September 10 that it would introduce a measure from September 15 restricting transfers to newly registered destination addresses for a certain period.

Franklin Templeton's Benji Fund Shares Approved as Bybit Collateral

Bybit announced a collaboration with Franklin Templeton that lets eligible traders use Benji-issued money market fund shares as off-exchange collateral on the crypto platform, extending the asset manager's push into tokenized finance. Franklin Templeton shares trade at US$32.81, with a year to date share price return of 37.86% and a 1-year total shareholder return of 44.68%, while shorter-term momentum has faded with the 30-day share price return down 5.53% and the 90-day share price return down 4.73%. The company is building on its earlier tokenized funds and blockchain enabled products, including the BENJI tokenized money fund, by adding 3.2b of digital asset AUM and acquiring 250 Digital, and by embedding tokenized funds into partner wallets such as MoonPay and Payward. A widely followed narrative pegs fair value at $35.50, above the last close of $32.81, while the stock trades at 22x earnings, below the US Capital Markets industry on 39.7x and peers at 35.9x but above the fair ratio of 12.8x. Franklin Templeton's story could still shift if fee pressure from large platforms intensifies or if integration across its expanded credit and digital franchises stumbles.

US Senate Report: Over $34.6 Million in USDT Flowed Out of Iran-Linked Wallets

Democratic staff of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) of the US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee published a report on September 28 examining Iran-linked funding networks. According to the report, of 39 wallets that Israel's National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) designated for seizure in June 2023 as being tied to a figure involved in Hezbollah money laundering, Tether, the issuer of USDT, failed to freeze 34 of them until March 2024, and more than $34.6 million in crypto assets flowed out during that period. The investigation analyzed 846 wallets that US and Israeli authorities had identified as linked to the Iranian government or its proxy forces, and found that 84 percent of them transacted solely or almost solely in USDT. The report noted that relying only on freezes after designation cannot adequately prevent the outflow of funds, and called on stablecoin issuers to continuously monitor high-risk transactions by counterparties and their customers.
