🦁 Russians Warned Against Saving in Crypto Amid Declining Savings in Foreign Fiat
A government official in Moscow has advised Russians to avoid cryptocurrencies now when interest in foreign fiat currencies is declining in the country. The high-risk assets are not suitable for the savings of most people and make sense only for investments by rich people, his comments suggest.
Restrictions imposed by the Russian state on foreign currency accounts and operations amid Western sanctions have led to a decrease in the volume of savings kept in foreign fiats. Against this backdrop, Russians have been warned they shouldn’t switch to cryptocurrencies.
“We would definitely not want citizens’ savings to be directed to digital currencies,” the head of the Financial Policy Department of the Russian Ministry of Finance, Ivan Chebeskov, stated during the blockchain conference “Finance of the Future: Challenges and Opportunities.”
Chebeskov is convinced that regulated digital financial assets (DFAs) could be a better alternative.
The finance ministry representative added that assets such as cryptocurrencies make sense only for wealthier Russians, not for people with average income and savings, and then only for 10 to 15% of the capital available for investment.

👑 SEC accuses Galois Capital of misleading investors, custody failures
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged Florida-based Galois Capital with serious compliance failures and investor misrepresentation.
The charges relate to the firm’s failure to adhere to required custody practices and misleading information about redemption policies.
According to the SEC’s order, Galois Capital, previously a registered investment adviser for a private fund primarily investing in crypto assets, breached the Investment Advisers Act’s Custody Rule. This rule mandates that client assets, including those offered and sold as securities, must be maintained with a qualified custodian.
However, since July 2022, Galois Capital did not comply with these regulations, holding crypto assets in trading accounts on platforms like FTX Trading, which are not deemed qualified custodians by the SEC.
This lapse in custodial practices led to substantial losses, with approximately half of the fund’s assets under management lost during the collapse of FTX in November 2022.

Actual blockchains aren’t ready for trillions in real world value. That's why our team is building Plume L1, imagine that you want to tokenize trillions in assets on Ethereum where their security relies on $120B of staked ETH.. There's no chance of securing the $20T+ of RWAs managed by institutions like BlackRock or Fidelity.
Plume solves this with an EVM-compatible Layer 1 chain secured by RWAs themselves.
Just because this and many more reasons, RWAs needs Plume. Find more on our last post and please share with your communities🪶🔒🫡

Blog: https://plumenetwork.xyz/blog/rwa-chain
The RWA narrative is heating up and Plume Network is gaining significant traction with their approach to DeFi for RWAs, called RWAfi.
Plume has the strongest team, tech, and ecosystem — there are 180+ projects building on them and they just did two pre-deposit campaigns, securing a total of $60m in the two pre-deposit vaults. Note: They’re not even live yet!
Recently, Plume Network announced its Series A, where they raised $20M from top tier investors like Brevan Howard, Haun Ventures, Galaxy Digital and others. They’ve raised $30M in total funding and seem to be gearing up for big news (mainnet soon? 👀).
In my opinion, I’d suggest keeping a close eye on this project!
ICYMI — Plume is the first L1 fully integrated RWAfi chain being built to unlock the RWAs market with a crypto-native approach. Unlike traditional RWA models, Plume leverages DeFi principles to create a more efficient and accessible ecosystem for both crypto natives and traditional finance institutions – the first and only protocol for RWAfi.

Plume Network Pre Deposit campaign on Nest: https://x.com/plumenetwork/status/1871363122503790837
Plume is redefining the RWA landscape by building a new L1 RWAfi chain. With a crypto-native approach, Plume is prioritizing composability, liquidity, being permissionless, and interoperability.
Unlike traditional RWA models, Plume leverages DeFi principles to create a more efficient and accessible ecosystem for both crypto natives and traditional finance institutions – the first and only protocol for RWAfi.
RWAfi adoption is here – $30m was pre-deposited into Plume within 90 minutes during their Predeposit Campaign 👀

🐻 FCA charges man for operating crypto ATMs that handled $3.4m
The FCA has charged a London man for illegally operating multiple crypto ATMs without registration, processing millions in transactions.
The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority has charged a London man, Olumide Osunkoya, with unlawfully operating crypto ATMs without the necessary registration, marking the regulator’s first criminal prosecution involving unregistered crypto activity.
In a Sept. 10 press release, the financial watchdog accused Osunkoya of running multiple crypto ATMs across various locations that processed £2.6 million ($3.4 million) in transactions between December 2021 and September 2023.
The FCA says the case falls under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017, making Osunkoya the first person to be charged for running a network of unregistered crypto ATMs in the U.K.

🌴 The pepperoni on the first pizza bought with Bitcoin is worth $6.5M today
It’s been 13 years since programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made the first commercial transaction with Bitcoin on May 22, 2010, buying two supreme pizzas from Papa John’s for a whopping 10,000 BTC, or $266 million at current prices.
That day is known and celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
“Bitcoin Pizza Day” marks the world’s first transaction for real-world goods using Bitcoin and celebrates the massive rise in the value of the cryptocurrency since then, which was worth only $0.0041 in May 2010 and is now worth over $26,500 at current prices.

🦁 Nike Is Bringing Its .SWOOSH NFTs to EA Sports Games
Nike Virtual Studios, the sportswear giant's digital arm, and video game developer EA Sports are partnering together to bring digital creations from Nike's .SWOOSH platform to the EA Sports gaming ecosystem.
Details about the partnership are limited, though Nike said in a press release that the collaboration will allow .SWOOSH members and EA Sports fans "to express their personal style through play." This includes "immersive experiences" and "new levels of customization within the EA Sports ecosystem."

🦁 North Korea ‘aggressively targeting’ crypto firms, warns FBI
The FBI has issued a warning that North Korean hackers are aggressively targeting employees in the crypto and decentralized finance sectors to steal company funds.
These cybercriminals use sophisticated social engineering strategies to deceive even technically proficient individuals.
According to an FBI release, North Korean hackers conduct extensive research on their targets, particularly those connected to crypto exchange-traded funds and other related financial products.
The cybercriminals often create fake, “complex and elaborate” scenarios tailored to a victim’s background and interests, such as fictitious job offers or investment opportunities. The FBI notes that these tactics are designed to gain trust and access to company networks.
These malicious cyber actors have been researching various targets linked to crypto ETFs. Their research involved pre-operational preparations, indicating that they may be planning to carry out cyber attacks against companies associated with ETFs or other cryptocurrency-related financial products.
Last week, Microsoft announced that North Korean hackers had exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Chromium’s V8 JavaScript engine to target crypto entities. These hackers siphoned off digital assets from compromised systems by creating fake trading platforms and using the AppleJeus trojan.

🦁 VanEck Shuts Down Ethereum Futures ETF, Eyes Solana ETFs as a Precedent Emerges
VanEck's Ethereum Futures ETF is closing its doors and liquidating. The decision comes after a thorough review of the fund's performance and investor interest.
Shareholders have until the market closes to trade their shares. After that, it's delisting time.
Those holding shares on the liquidation date can expect a cash payout based on the net asset value (NAV) of their holdings.
Any remaining income and capital gains might be distributed before the final curtain falls.
Remember to consider the tax implications of this liquidation. Capital gains or losses could impact your year-end reporting.
While closing one door, VanEck is peeking through another. The company is exploring opportunities in Solana ETFs, buoyed by a precedent set in a 2018 fraud case involving My Big Coin.
Matthew Sigel, VanEck's Head of Digital Assets Research, sees this ruling as a potential pathway for Solana's regulatory classification – even without an established futures market.
