Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Central Bank of Russia has released a draft regulatory framework requiring professional market participants such as brokers, trustees, forex dealers, and cryptocurrency exchanges to include crypto assets in their equity calculations. Crypto assets permitted for trading on exchanges can account for a maximum of 25% of the total equity value. The draft requires that relevant crypto assets be registered with a cryptocurrency depository institution so that regulators can verify their existence. The Central Bank of Russia stated that this percentage will be used to assess credit and market risks and ensure that intermediaries have the capacity to cover potential losses. The Russian State Duma has already approved a cryptocurrency regulatory framework that allows both qualified and ineligible investors to trade cryptocurrencies, but the latter's annual purchase limit is capped at 300,000 rubles (approximately $3,800). Cryptocurrencies are still prohibited from being used as domestic payment instruments, but import/export companies can use them for cross-border settlements without restriction. (Bitcoin.com News)

According to Odaily, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved World Liberty Financial's application for a national trust bank license, subject to regulatory and policy requirements. Upon approval, the company can operate under the name World Liberty Trust Company, National Association. World Liberty Financial's application documents show that the bank plans to issue a dollar-backed stablecoin and hold digital assets associated with its USD1 token. U.S. President Donald Trump and his three sons are associated with the company, with a Trump family entity holding a 38% stake. Senator Elizabeth Warren and nine other senators introduced the "Ending Presidential Banking Corruption Act" after the approval. Warren stated that the OCC's move is one of the most blatant instances of illicit gains in the U.S. financial system. In January 2025, an Abu Dhabi investment company backed by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million. Another UAE entity, MGX, previously invested $2 billion in Binance using USD1. (Cointelegraph)
