Ireland‘s New AML Strategy Brings ’Enhanced Checks on Private Crypto Wallets

In briefIreland published its first National Anti-Money Laundering Strategy on Thursday, with crypto-asset rules among the reforms it sets out.The final elements of the EU Transfer of Funds Regulation will bring enhanced checks on transfers involving private crypto wallets and stricter due diligence on overseas crypto firms.The strategy builds on a 30-point action plan published in June that promised enhanced safeguards around crypto-assets and digital finance.　　Ireland published its first national anti-money laundering strategy on Thursday, including crypto measures targeting wallets held outside regulated firms.　　Most of the EU Transfer of Funds Regulation has already been implemented in Ireland, with the Department of Finance saying that the remaining elements introduce new obligations for crypto-asset service providers, requiring “enhanced checks” on transfers involving private crypto wallets and stricter due diligence when dealing with overseas crypto firms.　　That mechanism is the FATF travel rule, under which information on the originator and the beneficiary must accompany a transaction. The strategy document records that it arrived alongside MiCA, which created crypto-asset service providers as a category of regulated entity across the bloc.　　Ireland gave crypto firms less room to adjust than most member states, allowing a 12-month grandfathering window against the 18 months the regulation permits, according to

Gemini posts $108M Q2 net loss despite 37% revenue growth

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini reported a 37% year-over-year increase in second-quarter revenue to $45.5 million, while posting a $107.7 million net loss as exchange trading weakened.　　Exchange revenue fell 38% to $12.5 million as trading volume dropped to $3.8 billion from $11.3 billion, the company said Thursday.　　Services revenue climbed 149% to $23.5 million, led by a 231% increase in credit card revenue to $16.2 million and a 50% rise in staking revenue to $4 million. Including interest income, services revenue and interest income totaled $26 million.　　Meanwhile, transaction losses rose to $20.1 million from $3.6 million a year earlier, primarily due to a $16.1 million provision for credit losses tied to an identity fraud event involving the credit card portfolio. Gemini said the elevated provision was concentrated among affected accounts and did not reflect broader deterioration in the portfolio.　　Operating expenses rose 24% year-over-year to $122.4 million, though they fell 15% from the first quarter as the company continued cost-cutting measures announced earlier this year.　　Geminis stock price rose 3% during regular trading on Thursday, but fell nearly 5% in pre-market trading on Friday following the earnings release, according to Yahoo Finance data.　　Magazine: Bitcoin adoption metrics say one thing, price action says another

Will Golden Cross Help Ethereum (ETH)？ Figuring Out the Possibility

Ethereum is headed for a potentially significant moving-average crossover, but it is still below resistance as the emerging golden-cross setup arrives. Ethereums recovery structure may be strengthened by the signal, but price must first do some of the necessary work to generate it.　　Right now, ETH is trading at about $1,874. While the 100-day moving average is still falling, close to $1,919, the 50-day moving average has turned upward and is now at about $1,824. As a result, there is less space between them in both directions. A bullish golden-cross configuration would be produced by Ethereum if the 50-day average eventually crossed above the 100-day average.　　ETH/USDT Chart by TradingView　　These crossovers show that the more recent price performance has surpassed the slower average, which represents the longer-term trend. The issue is that golden crosses are lagging indicators. Instead of raising the price, they validate an improvement that has already taken place.　　Therefore, in order for the crossover to occur, ETH must continue its recovery. Thats not a given. Since July, Ethereum has frequently struggled between $1,900 and $1,950. Additionally, a descending resistance line has formed across the most recent local highs, creating an additional barrier in the same area.　　Clear breakout being formed　　This region

Citigroup CEO backs Clarity Act but warns stablecoin rewards could hurt banks

Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser has backed passage of the CLARITY Act while continuing to push for changes to its stablecoin reward rules, keeping the banking industrys main concern with the crypto bill alive ahead of a Senate procedural vote expected next month.　　SummaryCitigroup CEO Jane Fraser supports passing the CLARITY Act but wants changes to its stablecoin reward rules.Fraser warned that stablecoin rewards could pull deposits from banks and reduce their ability to provide credit.A Senate compromise would ban rewards for simply holding stablecoins while allowing incentives tied to payments and transactions.The stablecoin yield dispute remains a key issue between banks and crypto firms ahead of the Senate vote.　　Fraser told Fox Business on Thursday that Citigroup still wants lawmakers to improve parts of the legislation, but she supports getting a workable version through Congress because she believes the bill would benefit the financial system.　　“So, we have not given up on pushing to get some improvements made to the bill, but we would like to see a good bill go through,” Fraser said. “I think it would be excellent for the system.”　　Her support puts Citigroup in a less confrontational position than some other large banks, even as Fraser shares their concern over

XRP Price Tests $1 as Ripple Wallet Moves 50M Tokens

A Ripple-linked wallet moved 50 million XRP, worth more than $50 million at the time, to an internal subwallet on August 13. The movement came as XRP closed near $1.00, its lowest daily close since November 2024, while aggregate derivatives open interest climbed toward $986.48 million.　　Transaction data showed that the Ripple (50) wallet first transferred the XRP to raRVLN1, an internal subwallet. The subsequent movements drew attention because XRP was trading near a key support area while derivatives data showed traders leaning heavily toward long positions.　　Ripple Wallet Activity Routes XRP Toward Binance　　The raRVLN1 subwallet later distributed XRP, primarily in batches of 1 million tokens per transaction, to the rBNCyN address, which XRPScan data ties to Binance. Ripple-linked wallets sent a combined 23 million XRP to the rBNCyN wallet during the week, after which the tokens were moved on to Binance.　　The activity likely reflects an operational liquidity wallet used for on-demand liquidity or market-making purposes. The transfer trail shows movement between related wallets and toward a Binance-linked address, but the on-chain data does not by itself establish the purpose of every transfer.　　Source: Whale Alert　　Active addresses on the XRP Ledger averaged about 35,700 per day in August, up from roughly 26,400 in
