Treasury Drops Crypto Surveillance Proposals
The Treasury Department is scrapping two long-stalled crypto surveillance proposals, handing a major win to privacy advocates and the digital asset industry. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network filed notices Monday withdrawing its 2020 “unhosted wallet” rule and a 2023 plan to brand international crypto mixing a “class of transactions of primary money laundering concern.” Both notices are set to appear in the Federal Register on Tuesday. In a Monday statement, the Washington crypto policy group Coin Center said the news was “a significant victory for financial privacy.”
“The definition of mixing was extraordinarily broad, sweeping in common techniques used by ordinary cryptocurrency users to preserve their privacy,” Coin Center said.

BlackRock Says AI Agents Could Be the Next Big Driver of Crypto Demand
Artificial intelligence and digital assets are beginning to converge, with AI models showing a preference for bitcoin and stablecoins, according to research cited by BlackRock . In a new report, the $15 trillion Wall Street giant said that card networks and automated clearing houses involve human-driven onboarding, fees that make tiny payments uneconomic and slower settlement and finality. The report, “The Machine-Native Economy”, is a bet that the next big source of crypto demand won’t be human investors but software.

ECB policymaker warns of fragmentation without digital euro
ECB policymaker warns of fragmentation without digital euro
A ECB executive board member said the potential introduction of a digital euro ”would not to take over the role of banks,” but ensure they have a role in the EU’s monetary system. A member of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) executive board has warned that other entities could provide alternatives without the central bank’s introduction of a digital euro, potentially weakening Europe’s “resilience and monetary sovereignty.”
ECB executive board member Piero Cipollone said on a Monday MNI Connect Webcast that without a “pan-European digital payment solution that caters to every type of day-to-day transaction,” the potential for fragmentation could increase across tokenization platforms. He said that the central bank’s goal should be to create a digital euro exchangeable across banks for day-to-day transactions.

Ecash Ecosystem Rises to Challenge in the Defense of Decentralized Custody
BTC++, Berlin, and breakthroughs in advancing Bitcoin custody
A few weeks ago, I argued that the Bitcoin ecosystem kept asking the wrong question, tending to frame everything as “trusted” or “trustless.” Instead, I urged people to ask “How many independent things have to go wrong before you lose your money?”

Key points:
Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD attempting to return to $87,000 after another failed attempt to break higher on Monday.

Russia’s digital ruble accounts top 220K in first month, nearly 4X central bank forecast
The digital ruble’s early uptake comes as BRICS nations explore linking their digital currencies for cross-border trade and payments. Early adoption of Russia’s central bank digital currency, the digital ruble, has vastly exceeded forecasts, with more than 220,000 accounts opened in its first month, offering an early test of whether CBDCs can move beyond pilot programs and gain real-world adoption. As Reuters reported Tuesday, Russian central bank Deputy Governor Zulfiya Kakhrumanova said the figure far exceeded the roughly 60,000 accounts officials had expected following the CBDC’s Sept.

UK names 6 banks to lead first digitally native government bond
The government said the pilot is intended to explore the use of DLT in sovereign debt markets while encouraging the development of digital financial infrastructure in the UK. The project follows HSBC’s appointment in February as the pilot’s DLT supplier and a July agreement between HSBC and the London Stock Exchange Group to develop a digital securities depository link. In an X post on Tuesday, Rigby said the appointments mark an important step toward issuing the digital gilt early next year, calling DIGIT “a practical test of new financial market infrastructure.”
Related: Crypto adoption blooming in Germany, while UK is falling ‘behind,’ says CoinShares researcher
In comments shared with Cointelegraph, Richard Baker, CEO and founder of Tokenovate and a member of HM Treasury’s Wholesale Digital Markets Industry Taskforce, said the pilot will need to address how digital securities connect with existing financial infrastructure:
On-chain settlement will need to connect with cash, custody and existing settlement infrastructure, with common standards and legal certainty keeping lifecycle events consistent across systems.
