Parliament passes law 3003: cryptocurrencies subject to domestic sanctions

Parliament approved the sanctions measure law (known as law 3003) by a vote of 240 to 202. The law explicitly classifies crypto assets compliant with the MiCA regulation as frozen assets — cryptocurrency exchanges and exchanges in the EU will have to block funds of clients on the domestic sanctions list, as banks do. The interior minister will maintain the list and could add a person or company to it with immediate effect; concealing frozen assets carries a penalty of 6 months to 8 years imprisonment. The law will go to the Senate and the desk of President Karol Nawrocki.

Should the interior minister have the right to freeze crypto assets immediately without court oversight?

US cuts MEXC exchange from financial system over $16 billion in illegal transactions

The U.S. Treasury Department's FinCEN office ordered American financial institutions on Friday to stop processing transfers related to cryptocurrency exchange MEXC Global. The reason is allegations of involvement in illegal transactions worth 16 billion dollars. This is one of the harshest regulatory measures the U.S. can apply to a financial entity.

Is cutting MEXC off from the financial system the right response to allegations of illegal transactions?

US and FBI accuse North Korea of stealing over 6 billion dollars in crypto from Binance

The United States and FBI have officially accused North Korea of a hacking attack on the Binance exchange and theft of over 6 billion dollars in cryptocurrencies. According to American intelligence, the stolen funds finance North Korea's weapons and nuclear programs. Kim Jo Dzong, sister of the DPRK leader, called the accusations "absurd rhetoric and political provocation." Experts estimate that Kim Jong Un's regime stole cryptocurrencies worth 7.6 billion dollars in total this year.

Crypto's biggest hack: Binance clients withdrew $3.6 bln after exchange resumption

After Binance resumed operations, clients withdrew $3.64 billion net in a single day — the result of the largest hack in cryptocurrency history in which assets worth $6.3 billion were stolen. The attack is attributed to North Korean group TraderTraitor (Lazarus Group), previously responsible for a $1.5 billion theft from Bybit exchange. Binance has already covered approximately 95% of lost funds, and the FBI released a list of wallet addresses linked to the hackers. Stolen funds continue to be actively laundered through thousands of cryptocurrency addresses.

Hakerzy ukradli z Binance 6,3 mld dol. w największym napadzie na kryptogiełdę

Binance, największa giełda kryptowalut na świecie, zawiesiła wypłaty po ataku hakerskim, który według szacunków wyrządził straty rzędu 6,3 mld dolarów. Giełda zdołała zamrozić aktywa o wartości ok. 3 mld dol., głównie stablecoiny. Analitycy Elliptic ostrzegają jednak, że atakujący zamienił już ok. 3,3 mld dol. na aktywa niemożliwe do zamrożenia i próbuje wypłacić te środki w tradycyjnej walucie.

Czy giełdy kryptowalut powinny być objęte surowszym nadzorem finansowym?
