The IMF has updated its Balance of Payments Manual (BPM7) to include digital assets, classifying cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as non-produced nonfinancial assets, while tokens with corresponding liabilities, such as stablecoins, are considered financial instruments.

The new framework categorizes Bitcoin and similar assets as capital assets in the capital account, while tokens like Ethereum and Solana are treated as equity-like holdings in the financial account.

The IMF also acknowledges staking rewards and validation services as income, reflecting the growing economic impact of digital assets and adding visibility to related services in macroeconomic statistics.

The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has found serious flaws in Ethena GmbH's approval process for its USDe tokens. As a result, BaFin has ordered immediate enforcement measures to prevent the company from offering USDe tokens to the public. The company has also been instructed to have its custodian freeze the corresponding asset reserves.

In response, Ethena Labs stated that the decision will not disrupt current USDe listings, nor the minting and redemption process via Ethena (BVI) Limited, which services the majority of their mint users. The company assured that USDe remains fully backed, and no assets have been "frozen," and all remain available for redemption. Ethena Labs also mentioned that they will revise their Terms in the coming week.

The SEC has issued a statement clarifying that mining and mining pool activities under the Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism do not constitute securities offerings. The agency stated that Protocol Mining on PoW networks involves only the contribution of computational resources, rather than reliance on the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others. As a result, PoW mining does not meet the Howey Test definition of an investment contract and falls outside the scope of securities regulation.
