The Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced extensive regulations for crypto asset management, covering disclosure, public offerings, trading, and marketing activities. These regulations aim to enhance investor protection and promote transparency in the burgeoning digital asset market.

Under the new guidelines, crypto asset issuers must submit disclosure documents to the SEC at least 30 days prior to any marketing activities or public sales. The document must detail the provider, issuer, key features, risks, and underlying technology of the crypto asset, as well as clearly state potential risks, including value loss and limited transferability.

Crypto assets classified as securities must obtain SEC-approved registration statements for public offerings. Entities issuing or trading crypto assets must comply with anti-money laundering (AML) laws and SEC reporting requirements. It emphasizes that non-compliance may result in fines, suspension, or revocation of licenses. (Crowdfund Insider)

A year worth recording! A review of the historic moments in crypto in 2024

With 2025 approaching, reflecting on the developments in crypto in 2024 reveals many historic moments that deserve to be documented.

This year, the bullish trend in the crypto market was catalyzed by Wall Street giants, the U.S. elections, bitcoin halving, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts.

We witnessed historic moments such as the approval of bitcoin and ethereum spot ETFs, the White House welcoming its first "crypto president," bitcoin surpassing $100,000, and bitcoin-related stock MSTR joining the Nasdaq 100 index; we also faced dark moments with multiple market crashes due to macro adjustments, resulting in the evaporation of billions of dollars.

This year, meme coins targeted by VCs and the late arrival of altcoin season. Memes seemed to create hype daily, but older altcoins led by Ethereum faced multiple challenges. New gameplay and assets like TG/TON's point-earning mini-games, Pump.fun's one-click token issuance, and AI agents became popular, but opinions were divided. "The crypto market with no one taking over," "Who is making money in this cycle?" "Have we outperformed bitcoin?" became hot topics.

ChainCatcher reviewed the major crypto events from the beginning to the end of the year, reflecting on the ups and downs of this year while welcoming and looking forward to 2025.

Delphi Digital 2025 Market Forecast Summary: Bitcoin's Potential Remains Huge, Stablecoins Will Continue to Grow

As the year comes to a close, various research and predictions are pouring in. @Delphi_Digital recently released the "2025 Market Outlook," which delves into an analysis of the current market conditions and forecasts future trends, covering a range of topics including Bitcoin price movements, major trends, and risk factors.

Given the length of the full text, which requires a significant amount of time to read, TechFlow has compiled an article summarizing the core viewpoints of Stacy Muur regarding the "2025 Market Outlook."

This article divides the Delphi Digital report into three main sections: The Rise of Bitcoin, The Illusion of Altcoin Season, and Trends for Future Development. Currently, Bitcoin's market capitalization has reached approximately $2 trillion, while the performance of altcoins has been lackluster. Looking ahead, the growth of stablecoins may bring hope for market recovery. At the end of the article, Stacy Muur also shares her unique perspective on the crypto market in 2025, suggesting that the crypto market is evolving from the "Wild West" into a more regulated alternative stock market. Web3 native users are willing to take high risks and engage in speculative trading, while newcomers will adopt prudent risk management and focus on long-term value, with some narratives potentially being marginalized.

AAVE to Reach New Highs? Chainlink Collaboration Expected to Generate Tens of Millions Annually
