The draft law also proposes setting high thresholds for digital asset exchanges, such as a legal capital of 10 trillion Vietnamese dong (approximately US$408 million) and a foreign ownership limit of 49%. (Hanoi Times | BlockBeats | Foresight News | TechFlow) 3. Tether assisted Türkiye in freezing approximately $544 million in crypto assets involved in illicit gambling/money laundering. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the freeze was executed at the request of the Istanbul Prosecutor's Office. Disclosed information shows that Tether has assisted law enforcement in over 1,800 cases in 62 countries, freezing approximately $3.4 billion in USDT. Elliptic data indicates that by the end of 2025, Tether and Circle have blacklisted approximately 5,700 wallets, freezing a total of approximately $2.5 billion (about two-thirds of which is USDT). (PANews | BlockBeats | Foresight News | Cointelegraph) 4. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) reported a huge loss in its Q4 earnings report: unrealized losses of approximately $17.4 billion and a net loss of $12.4 billion. The company stated that it holds approximately $2.25 billion in cash reserves to cover interest and dividends and that there is currently no pressure to sell liquidity. However, Michael Saylor stated in a conference call that "selling Bitcoin is also an option," prompting the market to reassess potential selling pressure. (PANews | Odaily) 5. Bithumb "accidental Bitcoin sending" incident: Customers are expected to lose approximately 1 billion Korean won. The company has launched a compensation and rectification program and established a 100 billion Korean won guarantee fund. Bithumb apologized and stated that it would compensate users who panic-sold at low prices during a specific period with "the transaction price plus an additional 10%", and would also provide compensation to users who visited the site during the incident and offer 7 days of zero transaction fees across the entire site.

(BlockBeats | Foresight News | TechFlow) 7. Market rumors of "institutional collapse" are gaining traction: Winternute CEO expressed strong skepticism, stating that the current market is more orderly and the risks are controllable. Historically, risk signals from 3AC, FTX, and other institutions have often been exposed quickly through industry channels, but no similar signs have been observed so far. Most of the related rumors come from anonymous accounts with insufficient credibility. (PANews | Odaily) Market Analysis 1. Next week's macroeconomic "high-density risk window": a concentration of data and official speeches may amplify cross-asset volatility and transmit it to cryptocurrencies. The US non-farm payrolls, CPI, and retail sales will be released in quick succession, and several Federal Reserve officials will speak out; coupled with geopolitical and policy variables (such as US-Iran negotiations, the Japanese general election, etc.), the risk of volatility spillover increases. (BlockBeats | TechFlow | PANews) 2. 10X Research: Selling pressure may mainly come from the selling and forced liquidation of spot ETFs; a short-term rebound/consolidation is possible, but new lows may still be reached in the summer. CNBC, citing 10X Research, believes that selling pressure this week may come from Bitcoin spot ETF sell-offs, sharp drops triggering forced liquidations, and being dragged down by weaker risk assets; however, further declines this summer cannot be ruled out, with the low point potentially pointing to the $40,000–$50,000 range.
