Odaily News: Canada's Department of Finance has launched a 60-day public consultation on draft stablecoin regulations, with a deadline of Dec. 23.

Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X that 109 Israeli economists and business leaders have warned Netanyahu against pursuing a cryptocurrency plan to evade sanctions. The signatories include former Bank of Israel Governor Jacob Frenkel and 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics laureate Joel Mokyr. The signatories called cryptocurrency a "puzzling solution" adopted by criminal organizations that does nothing to solve the problem. On Friday, Netanyahu said Israel should prepare to build a "bypass economy" to cope with banks being sanctioned; when asked whether he meant cryptocurrency, he said "exactly right." The Bank of Israel has rejected the idea, and Israel's election will be held tomorrow; crypto sanctions evasion had previously been mainly associated with Russia and Iran, and this is the first time for a close US ally.

trade.xyz stated that after Anthropic officially lists, ANT is expected to convert into a standard XYZ perpetual contract.

Odaily News: Crypto trader Ansem posted that he is currently bearish on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and large-cap stocks, though he does not believe retail speculative activity will cool significantly as a result. He expects the market to see sharp two-way volatility in the fourth quarter, with some on-chain assets still likely to perform well.
Ansem noted that this week's Federal Reserve interest rate decision and major earnings reports from several companies will bring significant event risk. AI hot stocks have formed lower highs after their surge and lost their original trend. However, he said this is not a bearish call on the longer-term market trajectory, and the market may still experience a pullback before resuming its rally.
Odaily News: Hardware wallet manufacturer Keystone has released an update on its handling of a security incident, stating that the incident involved 25,964 buyer records containing personal information. Device verification keys obtained by attackers could potentially be used to manufacture counterfeit devices capable of passing verification on the official website. Keystone will stop using the old keys, destroy 18,835 devices in inventory that use the old keys, and suspend shipments of unshipped orders from the official website until devices using the new keys enter production, at which point shipping will resume; the customer personal information retention period will be shortened from 180 days to 90 days. Keystone reminds users that devices received after October 20 that use the old verification keys cannot be fully ruled out as counterfeit risks even if they pass verification on the official website, and users should contact customer service for further verification.
