0xSun: I've already buy the dips in ANSEM and NEST, and I believe Solana will remain the engine of this round of on-chain price increases.
According to Odaily Odaily, trader 0xSun stated that he has purchased ANSEM and NEST at market values of approximately $280 million and $6 million respectively, in order to participate in the current on-chain market volatility. He believes that the on-chain market performance driven by blknoiz06 was active in this round, with strong Meme coins appearing in Solana, BNB Chain, and Robinhood Chain. However, the overall rotation was extremely fast. Except for ANSEM, which continued to rise for more than a week, most of the other leading chains peaked overnight. 0xSun stated that ANSEM has already corrected by over 40% from its peak, and given Ansem's continued activity and the fact that approximately 60% of its tokens remain uncirculated, a rebound is highly probable. NEST, on the other hand, is a riskier and more volatile asset, with its short-term price movement still primarily driven by market sentiment. They also believe that for investors with smaller capital, the crypto market remains a more suitable market for high-risk, high-reward plays.

Russia's State Duma approved the final version of the cryptocurrency regulation bill, removing the mandatory requirement to declare wallet addresses.
According to Mars Finance, the Russian State Duma Financial Market Committee has approved the final version of the government's cryptocurrency regulatory bill, which will be submitted for a second reading. Committee Chairman Anatoly Aksakov revealed that the second reading version makes several key adjustments: the requirement to mandatorily declare cryptocurrency wallet addresses has been removed, replaced by only requiring the declaration of balances and transaction records to protect residents from the risk of sensitive information leaks; new amendments allow the legal purchase of securities in the securities market and Russian digital financial assets using cryptocurrencies. In the future, it may allow legitimate Russian brokers and asset managers to trade on foreign crypto exchage, but additional requirements such as jurisdictional "friendliness" must be met. For non-professional investors, the annual limit through a single intermediary is 300,000 rubles, and only for "the most liquid cryptocurrencies." The bill also introduces a two-day freeze on large transfers abroad and to third parties. Aksakov did not specify whether the proposal to ban Russians from using non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets is retained.

The CFTC has charged a North Carolina man with a $14 million cryptocurrency and futures fraud.
According to Odaily Odaily, the U.S. CFTC has filed a lawsuit against Trevor Vernon, a North Carolina man, and his company, Argent Capital Management LLC, accusing them of defrauding approximately 60 investors of $14 million through a fake commodity Ponzi scheme. According to a complaint filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Vernon and his company operated commodity pools involved in trading across multiple asset classes, including stock index futures options, stock index futures contracts, and crypto assets. The CFTC stated that Vernon misled investors by claiming to be a "successful trader" through quarterly financial updates and monthly performance review emails, but in reality, he consistently incurred significant losses when using investor funds for trading. Regulators said Vernon had lost at least $8.6 million in futures, options, and crypto trading. The CFTC stated that its actual trading results were "consistent and catastrophic losses," significantly inconsistent with the profitability it presented to investors.
