受比特币价格突破 72,000 美元的刺激，期权市场今日成交量创一个月新高，累计大宗交易总额超 10 亿美元。其中，看涨期权成交额约 7 亿美元，看跌期权成交额约 3 亿美元。值得关注的是一笔比例价差策略交易：某大户卖出 250 张行权价 75,000 美元的看涨期权，同时买入 500 张行权价 90,000 美元的看涨期权，显示其预期比特币要么不过新高，一旦突破则可能迅速冲击 10 万美元。此交易策略通过大宗交易方式节省了约 1.3 万美元的滑点，展现了大胆且精妙的市场布局。 #zachxbt

According to the US Department of the Treasury's 2024 National Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Proliferation Financing Risk Assessment Report, the focus is on illegal financial threats, vulnerabilities, and risks within the United States. The report states that criminals, fraudsters, and other illegal actors are increasingly turning to virtual assets.
The report details how bad actors launder money by continuously using cash and increasingly using cryptocurrencies to commit fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and corruption. The US Department of the Treasury plans to release a strategic plan in the coming weeks aimed at providing recommendations to address these issues.
The report points out that DeFi services belonging to financial institutions must comply with anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). "Nevertheless, many existing DeFi services have failed to comply with AML/CFT obligations, which is a loophole that illegal actors are exploiting." Criminals are seeking to use new financial services, including DeFi and online games.
The US Department of the Treasury also expressed concern in the report about the increasing use of stablecoins: "The 2022 National Terrorism Financing Risk Assessment (NTFRA) report showed that the most common form of virtual asset donations for terrorist organizations was the solicitation of bitcoin, but now terrorist organizations soliciting virtual asset donations are increasingly turning to stablecoins."

Decentralized stablecoin project Ethena Labs explained the reason for the significant decrease in the sUSDe annual yield on the X platform. According to data disclosed by Ethena Labs, the sUSDe APY generated is 44.3%, but the sUSDe APY paid is only 15.2%. Ethena Labs stated that reducing sUSDe payments is to ensure a slow and controlled rollout of products, in case of any need during protocol development. The retained USDe will be held by the protocol and distributed to holders later. Ethena Labs stated that APY may change over time and is not guaranteed, and may be negative when there is too much leverage demand in the system to go long on cryptocurrencies. High yields are just a manifestation of capital supply and demand imbalances within the system, like any interest rate. In addition, Ethena Labs also disclosed on-chain transaction receipts to share detailed information on calculating APY with the community to ensure transparency.

Australia’s financial regulator is seeking to require crypto firms — beyond just crypto exchanges — to be licensed under the country’s corporations law.
The Australian Financial Review reported today, citing Australian Securities and Investments Commission Commissioner Alan Kirkland, that ASIC plans to issue an update to “Information Paper 225” by November. The update aims to clarify how certain crypto tokens or products should be treated.
Kirkland said that ASIC considers that most major crypto assets should fall under the scope of the Corporations Act.
Meanwhile, the Australian Treasury released a proposal last year to require crypto exchanges that hold a certain threshold of assets to obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence. The original plan was to release an exposure draft this year, but it remains uncertain if the bill will be introduced before next year's federal election, according to the AFR report.

happening across the digital asset ecosystem.
The Australian Treasury said at the time that that failures and vulnerabilities of crypto platforms have “increased the need to regulate to protect consumers.”
The Australian authorities have become increasingly cautious of the risks associated with crypto assets. ASIC said last month that it had taken down over 7,300 scam websites since July 2023, 615 of which were associated with cryptocurrency.
Also in August, a ruling in Australia showed that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleged that more than half of crypto-related advertisements on Facebook were scams or violated Meta’s policies.
