Binance has introduced BNSOL - Binance SOL Staking
Users can securely stake their SOL tokens and receive BNSOL in return, a liquid staking token that represents their staked assets.
BNSOL allows users to continue earning staking rewards while keeping the flexibility to trade, lend, or utilize their assets across various Binance products and external DeFi platforms.
Each BNSOL represents 1 staked SOL plus the accumulated staking rewards. Over time, as SOL staking rewards accumulate, the value of 1 BNSOL progressively exceeds that of 1 SOL.
Users can withdraw their BNSOL to their Web3 Wallet and explore Solana protocols that have integrated with BNSOL, such as Kamino, Solayer, Drift, Orca, Meteora, MarginFi, Raydium, Sanctum, Save, Jupiter, and Pyth.

The U.K. government introduced a bill to Parliament touching on the legal status of digital assets including cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
The bill will clarify that these assets are considered personal property under British law. Once enacted, it will give the legal profession guidelines to follow when there's a dispute on ownership, such as during a divorce. It will also provide protection to crypto owners, whether individuals or companies, who are hit by fraud and scams.
Central to the proposal is a new category of property in addition to the existing "things in possession,” which covers items such as money and cars, and “things in action,” such as debt and shares. The new category of “thing” will allow certain digital assets to attract personal property rights, Justice Minister Heidi Alexander said in a statement.

Singapore police have launched an investigation into seven individuals suspected of offering services to buy and sell Worldcoin accounts and tokens.
Last month, the Singapore Police arrested five individuals suspected of buying or selling Worldcoin accounts and tokens. Initial investigations revealed that three men allegedly recruited people on behalf of various entities to create Worldcoin accounts.
They then took control of these accounts and tokens in exchange for cash. These assets were passed to a fourth man and a woman, believed to be involved in purchasing and managing their transfer. During the operation, the police seized over 200 mobile phones as evidence.
