According to Binance Blog, Binance has recently joined forces with the Royal Thai Police in cracking down on criminal networks involved in large-scale crypto scams. Two major operations led to the arrest of key criminals and the seizure of significant assets, fortifying Binance’s commitment to global cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. In a particularly noteworthy case, Binance and the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) of the Royal Thai Police dismantled a criminal ring behind a "pig butchering" scam, affecting thousands and resulting in seized assets valued at around $277 million. In another operation, Binance aided in capturing suspects across three Thai provinces, leading to the confiscation of 16 luxury residences, 12 top-tier vehicles, and $440,000 in cash. Binance's Investigations team actively supports global law enforcement in the fight against cybercrime by supplying key intelligence and expertise. This collaboration is a key element of Binance's ongoing effort to enhance user security and uphold regulatory compliance in the digital-asset ecosystem.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has formally accepted the applications for Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) from Franklin Templeton and Hashdex, according to a Bloomberg analyst, James Seyffart. In addition to the Bitcoin ETF, Hashdex has also applied for an Ethereum ETF. The applications are now listed on the SEC's official website. Seyffart noted that the SEC's expedited acceptance, which often takes about a week, might have been influenced by concerns surrounding a potential government shutdown. These developments follow recent reports of Franklin Templeton submitting a 19b-4 document to the SEC to apply for a Bitcoin ETF, which has now triggered the commencement of an official review process for the ETF proposal.

According to Cointelegraph: Gary Gensler, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), faced intense scrutiny and criticism of the agency’s policies and actions during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on September 27. A significant portion of the session tackled the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121, a measure published in March 2022 regarding the accounting and disclosure of crypto assets held by public companies. Critics, including Representative Mike Flood, took issue with the SEC’s process for publishing SAB 121. Flood highlighted that neither the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) nor prudential regulators were consulted before the SAB’s release. He also revealed that at the time of SAB 121’s issuance, the FASB had not addressed digital asset custody standards. Furthermore, Flood disputed Gensler’s claim that SAB 121 provided guidance based on existing SEC rules, stating there were no specific rules on custody of digital assets when the bulletin was released. This discrepancy led Flood to assert that either the SEC knew there was no strong justification for issuing the guidance and did so anyway, or the issuance was a mistake. The SAB 121 has faced opposition since its release, with adverse responses from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, as well as letters of concern sent to Gensler by a group of senators and the Financial Services Committee members, claiming the bulletin was a form of disguised regulation. Apart from the SAB 121 discussions, topics such as the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, the SEC's handling of the Grayscale case, and an alleged lack of impartiality within the financial industry were covered during the hearing. Particularly notable were discussions on the interpretation of the Howey test, a standard used by the SEC to determine if an asset qualifies as a security.
