The Financial Intelligence Unit under South Korea's Financial Services Commission has proposed an initiative that could fundamentally change the landscape of cryptocurrency transactions in the country. The regulator suggests extending Travel Rule requirements to transfers below the current threshold of 1 million won (approximately $650).
Previously, the 1 million won threshold served as a kind of "safe harbor" for small transactions not subject to strict monitoring...

The yen is on the verge of a 40-year low: a hidden threat to bitcoin and altcoins
The Japanese yen has come very close to the psychologically important level of 161 against the US dollar. If broken, this level would update the low set back in 1986. Notably, neither the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) monetary policy tightening nor Tokyo's large-scale currency interventions can stop the prolonged decline of the national currency. The situation is becoming critical.
