When traditional financial giants are no longer content to watch from the sidelines but choose to step onto the playing field as active players, it often signals a paradigm shift in an emerging industry. Recently, one of the "Big Four" accounting firms, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), sent a very clear signal: in the once uncertain field of cryptocurrency, it is shifting from a cautious observer to an active participant and builder. This strategic turn is not only a decision by PwC alone but also reflects a fundamental change in the attitude of the entire mainstream business world towards digital assets.
Key Catalyst
In recent years, due to the ambiguous regulatory environment and the tough enforcement actions taken by agencies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), PwC, like the other "Big Three" accounting firms, has maintained a certain distance from cryptocurrency business. To be

Venezuela's oil-backed cryptocurrency is a government experiment in digital currency amidst an economic collapse. Its original intention was to bypass U.S. sanctions, but technical instability and lack of trust led to failure. The public shifted to stablecoin USDT for transactions, creating a "cryptocurrency dollarization." In contrast, the Maduro government accumulated Bitcoin reserves through complex networks, ultimately leading to regime collapse due to military intervention. This case reveals that technology cannot replace trust, and when a state fails, cryptocurrencies can provide a survival guarantee for ordinary people.

Recently, Hong Kong experienced a unique case of electricity theft, with the method and location being quite unexpected. The Hong Kong police took action and successfully arrested two male technicians. They are suspected of abusing their positions to illegally install cryptocurrency "mining" equipment within a care home that provides services to disabled individuals, and of stealing electricity to keep the devices running around the clock for personal gain. This case not only exposes new issues arising from cryptocurrency mining activities on the fringes of regulation but also serves as a wake-up call for the internal security and management of various social institutions.
Case Details
According to the Cyber and Financial Crime Investigation Team of the Sham Shui Po Police District, the exposure of this case was triggered by abnormal network activity in one of the care homes. When the IT staff was investigating the cause of repeated slow network speeds, they unexpectedly discovered a batch of unauthorized electronic devices in the ceiling cavity of the office. This discovery immediately raised the alarm of the care home, which promptly reported the incident to the authorities.

As 2025 comes to a close, the West African nation of Ghana has completely rewritten its domestic and even the entire African continent's digital financial landscape. The Ghanaian Parliament has officially passed the highly anticipated "Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill, 2025", a move that not only marks the legalization of Crypto Assets trading in the country from a legal gray area but also firmly places the regulatory power of the entire industry in the hands of the nation's highest financial management authority - the Bank of Ghana (BoG). This milestone decision signifies that Ghana is embracing a future driven by Blockchain technology with an unprecedented openness and prudence.
Farewell Chaos
Before the introduction of this bill, Ghana's Crypto Assets market had long been in a savage state, much like many regions around the world.

On the global cryptocurrency market chessboard, Binance is undoubtedly the leader. However, for the world's most important financial market—the United States—this exchange giant has always harbored a complex sentiment. Since withdrawing from the U.S. domestic market in 2019 and serving local users through the independent entity Binance.US, Binance's "American Dream" has been full of twists and turns. Now, with political shifts and a series of strategic adjustments emerging, Binance's blueprint to return to the U.S. seems to be being redrawn, and its founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ)'s personal halo and shareholding have unexpectedly become the most critical variables and potential "shackles" in this comeback drama.
“CZ Dilemma”
The turning point in the story occurred in October 2025, when U.S. President Donald Trump granted clemency to Changpeng Zhao, not only freeing the crypto leader from legal troubles but also bringing

By the end of 2025, a seemingly simple update to the payment feature has sparked enthusiastic discussions across the global tech and finance communities. The world's largest video platform, YouTube, announced that content creators in the United States will be allowed to receive their earnings using PYUSD, a USD stablecoin issued by PayPal. This is not just a new payment option for creators, but is seen as a watershed event—it marks the moment when top tech giants like Google, which have long maintained a wait-and-see stance, finally take concrete action and officially enter the cryptocurrency payment arena. This move raises a deeper question: does it mean the era of mass adoption of cryptocurrency payments is truly approaching?
"Firewall" Mode
What is most notable about this partnership is not its disruptive nature, but its extremely cautious and clever architectural design. According to May Za, head of PayPal's crypto business,
