IMF SAYS IT WELCOMES RECENT STEPS BY ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK, FINANCE MINISTRY AHEAD OF END-JUNE VISIT

According to individuals familiar with the matter, Ant International, the overseas arm of Jack Ma-backed Ant Group Co., will soon apply for regulated stablecoin licenses in Singapore and Hong Kong. The company is seeking regulatory approval to issue fiat-referenced stablecoins in the Asian jurisdictions, which could also extend to Luxembourg, the sources claim. Per the insiders, the Singapore-based entity will initiate its application for a stablecoin issuer’s license in Hong Kong as early as August, once the city’s forthcoming Stablecoins Ordinance comes into effect. “We plan to apply for the fiat-referenced stablecoins (FRS) issuer’s license once the process is open after the Stablecoins Ordinance takes effect on August 1,” a spokesperson for Ant International told Reuters. Ant International is seemingly applying for the licenses to fortify its blockchain-based financial infrastructure for cross-border payments and treasury management services. In 2023 alone, Ant processed over $1 trillion in global transactions. One-third of that volume was facilitated by the company’s Whale platform, a blockchain-based system that optimizes international fund flows. The Whale platform is part of the company’s financial services backbone. It has features like homomorphic encryption, artificial intelligence, multiparty verification, and supports several tokenized assets issued by banks and institutions globally. The company’s blockchain expansion is a pivot from its previously dominant lending business in China, which came under tighter regulatory control following the abrupt halt of Ant Group’s record-breaking IPO in 2020. The company has already signed collaboration agreements with over 10 global banks, including major players such as HSBC Holdings Plc, BNP Paribas SA, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Standard Chartered Plc. Just this week, it added Deutsche Bank AG to its list of partners to co-develop payment solutions and treasury services. Since the suspension of its IPO, Ant Group has been looking for new market growth initiatives. Regulatory crackdowns in China halted its once-profitable online lending operations under two platforms, Huabei and Jiebei. In January 2022, Chinese regulators imposed stricter rules on online lending, requiring internet platforms and banks to contribute at least 30% of the funding for loans issued jointly. Before the new mandate, Ant Group’s micro-lending arms, Jiebei and Huabei, typically provided just 1% to 2% of the capital for such loans, according to research firm Financial Regulation & Law. According to a Bloomberg report in May, Ant posted nearly $3 billion in revenue for 2024 and has delivered two straight years of adjusted profitability. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence estimate that if the company were to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it could command a valuation ranging between $8 billion and $24 billion. Ant International is among several major tech firms trying to enter the stablecoin market . Meta Platforms Inc., once attempted to launch its own stablecoin project in 2019, only to abandon the plan following backlash from US lawmakers and central bank. In parallel, traditional asset managers have begun issuing tokenized investment products that are similar to stablecoins for use in collateralized trading. Firms like BlackRock Inc. and Franklin Templeton have introduced tokenized money market funds. On Tuesday, France’s Societe Generale announced plans to launch a publicly tradable, dollar-backed stablecoin through its digital asset unit, SG-FORGE. The new token, called “USD CoinVertible,” will be issued on Ethereum and Solana blockchains, with trading set to begin in July, according to a company statement . SG-FORGE added that the stablecoin will be classified as an e-money token and regulated under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets ( MiCA ) framework, which came into effect in 2023.

Authorities in Russia prepare to slap hefty fines on miners minting digital currencies outside the law, following the recent bust of large-scale illegal mining operations in Siberia. The penalties will be introduced through legislative changes, the authors of which have also taken the opportunity to target the use of cryptocurrencies for payments. In both cases, offenders may expect to have their coins seized by the state. The Russian government intends to go after illegal mining activities believed to be causing energy shortages and power grid breakdowns in a number of regions. Moscow wants to punish the so-called “gray” miners with serious fines and confiscation of the mined crypto. According to amendments to the country’s Code of Administrative Offenses drafted by the Ministry of Digital Development, companies involved in such operations will pay the state between 1 million and 2 million rubles ($25,000), the Russian-language edition of Forbes unveiled this week. Penalties for individual entrepreneurs and officials will range from 200,000 to 400,000 rubles ($5,000) while private citizens mining in their basements and garages will be fined between 100,000 and 200,000 rubles ($2,500), the article detailed. The existence of the bill, which is yet to hit the floor of the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, was confirmed by Anton Gorelkin, deputy chairman of the parliamentary Committee on Information Policy, IT and Communications. Speaking to the business news portal RBC on Wednesday, the lawmaker revealed that the legislation stipulates the seizure of the illegally minted cryptocurrency, insisting that the changes should be approved “as soon as possible.” The authors of the draft law have also sneaked in a text imposing similar monetary punishments and coin confiscation for any citizen or business using cryptocurrencies for payments outside Russia’s special legal regime that allows limited crypto settlements in foreign trade. In this case, fines may reach 1 million rubles for companies, 400,000 rubles for officials trespassing the law, and 200,000 rubles for ordinary Russians using Bitcoin and the like to buy goods and services instead of spending the only legal tender in Russia, the ruble. This kind of liability is “quite tough” against the general background of the code, Director Bank of Russia ’s legal department, Andrey Medvedev, admitted in May, while emphasizing: “But the key thing is that the digital currency that will be illegally used as a means of payment will be confiscated. This will be the most painful phenomenon.” Crypto mining was legalized in Russia last year. Legal entities and entrepreneurs engaged in the business are required to register with the Federal Tax Service, while private persons can mine without registration as long as their monthly electricity consumption does not exceed 6,000 kWh. Russian miners are also obliged to report the mined cryptocurrency to the Federal Financial Monitoring Service ( Rosfinmonitoring ), and failure to do so will also result in financial fines in the future. Growth in the industry has caused energy deficits in parts of the country, and the government in Moscow has already imposed a blanket ban on mining in 11 Russian regions, from the Far East to the Caucasus and the occupied territories of Ukraine. However, Duma member Anton Gorelkin is convinced that illegal crypto farms are the ones to blame for the excessive load on Russia’s power grids. The current mining prohibition does little to combat them, he said, noting that the restrictions primarily affect “white” miners. His statements and the news of the heavier penalties for illegal mining come after the discovery of two of the largest “gray” mining farms to date in Irkutsk earlier in June. Law enforcement officials found and seized a total of more than 4,700 mining devices operating at two separate sites in the Siberian Oblast, which has banned mining in its southern half.

Brazil's parliament considers establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, intends to invest 5% of international reserves The Brazilian House of Representatives is considering Bill No. 4501 of 2024, which proposes the establishment of a sovereign strategic reserve of Bitcoin (RESBit), with a plan to use up to 5% of international reserves to purchase Bitcoin. The bill aims to diversify treasury assets, protect against exchange rate fluctuations and geopolitical risks, promote the development of blockchain technology, and provide support for the Brazilian digital currency (Drex). The reserve will be jointly managed by the Central Bank of Brazil and the Ministry of Finance, using security technologies such as cold wallets and establishing a strict transparency mechanism. Rapporteur Luiz Gastão has voted in favor of the bill, emphasizing that a cautious and gradual implementation strategy will be adopted to balance potential benefits and risks.
