Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Malaysian Securities Commission (SC) has taken enforcement action against Bybit and its CEO Ben Zhou, accusing them of operating a cryptocurrency trading platform without proper registration.
The SC announced last Friday that it has ordered Bybit to suspend its operations on its website, mobile app, or any other digital platform in Malaysia. Bybit has also been ordered to cease all advertising activities targeting Malaysian investors and to close its Telegram support group for Malaysians. It is reported that since July 2021, Bybit and Zhou have been placed on the investor warning list for similar regulatory violations.
The SC pointed out that Bybit has complied with the enforcement action as instructed and reminded investors that trading cryptocurrencies on unregistered platforms does not have the protection of Malaysian securities laws and poses a higher risk of financial crime victimization. Currently, six cryptocurrency exchanges are registered and operating in Malaysia.
The company stated in a post on the Bybit Malaysia Telegram channel: "We understand this may cause some inconvenience, and we look forward to contacting you again in the future once we obtain the proper licensing." (The Block)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Mei, a developer from the Jupiter team, discussed the new round of airdrop plans on X, highlighting the following core points:
The team has received community feedback requesting more trading volume tiers and is considering a revision, but this requires weighing the pros and cons;
Additionally, the team is actively filtering out witch and bot addresses;
The team is considering whether to increase the airdrop proportion for professional traders;
Airdrop distribution will be based on individual addresses, meaning users cannot link multiple addresses to accumulate trading volume to reach higher tiers.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Abstract Chain contributor cygaar stated on X: "The main reason I dislike testnet incentives is that real users are always at a disadvantage.
Testnet transactions are essentially free, meaning people can easily automate a large number of activities. The chances of real users standing out or competing with bots are essentially zero. If writing scripts has no cost, you can run millions of transactions to try to 'farm.' In reality, genuine users who naturally use the testnet will quickly get lost.
Does this benefit network metrics? Of course, but I don't care about the numbers on the testnet. These transactions do not help us, nor do they benefit our builders, and they are easily forged. No one will be fooled by this data.
Ultimately, I want to see real users using our amazing ecosystem projects when the mainnet launches. This activity benefits our builders, users, and the chain."
Earlier today, cygaar stated on X that the Abstract testnet has no incentives and noted that the network has added 10 million transactions in the past two weeks, merely transferring ETH between wallets.
cygaar explained that its existence is to familiarize users with Abstract and provide developers with a temporary environment for mainnet deployment. The team does not care about easily manipulated testnet metrics.
It is reported that Abstract Chain, the L2 network under Pudgy Penguins' parent company Igloo, announced that it will launch its mainnet in January next year.
Investment and Financing
Odaily Planet Daily reports that The Block Pro's financing data shows that VCs have invested approximately 13.7 billion USD in cryptocurrency and blockchain startups in 2024, an increase of 28% from 10.7 billion USD in 2023. However, funding is still far below the peaks of 33.3 billion USD in 2022 and 29 billion USD in 2021.
Rob Hadick, a general partner at Dragonfly, stated: "It is surprising that VC funding has not accelerated faster than in 2023, especially since Bitcoin has risen over 150% year-to-date. I expect this may be because the LP (limited partner) market has remained relatively sluggish, and most venture capital firms do not yet have the confidence to seriously deploy the remaining funds until they raise (or at least are confident they will be able to raise) new funds."
Odaily Planet Daily reports that stablecoin aggregation sales infrastructure platform AlloyX announced the completion of 10 million USD in Pre-A financing, with participation from Solomon Fund, Arbitrum Foundation, Offchain Labs, PMT Capital, Ming Capital, Fern Win Capital, Whitecove Capital, and Kiln SAS. The new funds will be used to expand global stablecoin infrastructure and plan to scale its operations in the UAE, ASEAN, and Africa.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Layer2 network DataDance, dedicated to innovation in consumer data assets, announced that it has secured millions in investment led by Hash Global. The completion of this round of financing marks DataDance's entry into Web3 to build the world's largest decentralized data asset service and trading platform, co-creating a Web3 business ecosystem with Hash Global.
Decentralized GPU Network Inferix Announces 2.6 Million USD Investment from DePIN X

Odaily Planet Daily reports that blockchain data startup Accountable has recently completed a $2.3 million seed round financing, led by MitonC and Zee Prime Capital, with angel investors including Darius Rugys from Maven 11 and DCBuilder from the Worldcoin Foundation participating. The company is developing a privacy-centric data platform that verifies borrowers' assets, liabilities, and transaction risk exposure in real-time, allowing users to connect accounts such as custodial and exchange accounts to a dashboard that generates credit risk reports for lenders. Accountable plans to seek further financing in 2025.
Regulatory Policies
Odaily Planet Daily reports that following the announcement by Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) to start viewing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as "financial assets," the classification of cryptocurrencies may change. Official documents indicate that the FSA has expressed its position in its request for tax reform for the fiscal year 2025, hoping to begin recognizing crypto assets as "financial assets that the general public can invest in."
Currently, Japanese law classifies crypto assets as "payment instruments" under the Payment Services Act. A shift towards a definition that emphasizes "investment" would represent a form of legitimization for cryptocurrencies, but this change seems contingent on the stability of the cryptocurrency industry.
While the document does not call for cryptocurrency tax reform, CoinPost noted that it suggests Japan's controversial crypto tax rules "may be subject to review."
A few days ago, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) also made similar claims in its tax policy proposals for the fiscal year 2025. The LDP hopes to include the cryptocurrency industry under "accountability and investor protection regulations," akin to regulations for investments in publicly listed company stocks. This would allow the law to begin recognizing "certain crypto assets" as commonly used "financial products" in "public investment portfolios."
People & Voices
President of The ETF Store: Eight Top ETFs Launching in 2024 Are All Related to Cryptocurrencies
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, stated on X: "All eight top ETFs launching in 2024 are now related to cryptocurrencies, including four spot BTC ETFs, two spot ETH ETFs, and two MSTR ETFs. Nearly 740 new ETFs have been launched this year."
He also mentioned that a spot Solana ETF is expected to be approved in 2025.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, stated on X that the U.S. is about to allow projects to distribute airdrops to users in the country. Unfortunately, for the past four years, due to regulatory ambiguity, most on-chain projects have prohibited U.S. users from receiving airdrops, even though airdrops are merely on-chain rewards for using products. Most teams did not want to take the risk of being scrutinized by the SEC. This has resulted in U.S. users losing billions of dollars, but the new government will change this situation.
In the coming year, U.S. users may receive airdrops worth billions from projects invested in by 1confirmation.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Chris Burniske, a partner at Placeholder, stated on X: "Despite BTC playing with fire, ETHBTC, SOLETH, and SOLBTC are still performing well. This leads me to believe that it is not a sign of diminished market risk appetite, but rather likely influenced by year-end liquidity factors as people are tidying up their books for 2024."
