A Week in Review: OpenAI files for IPO, SEC scraps 611 rule and Hungary overhauls crypto

June 7 - 13

#1

SEC proposed to scrap ‘Rule 611,’ affecting tokenized stocks

The US SEC has made a proposal to scrap two rules in its national market system (NMS) regulations.

These include Rule 611 which bans “trade-throughs,” selling a stock order on one exchange for a worse price than on another, and Rule 610(e), which bans exchanges from displaying quotations that create “locked” or “crossed” markets in NMS stocks.

According to Galaxy head of research Alex Thorn, this is bullish for tokenized securities, saying it’s “one of the biggest unlocks yet for tokenized stocks.” He said that specifically rule 611 is “one of the biggest structural barriers to tokenized US equities trading in DeFi today.”

Tisza government to reverse crypto trading crackdown in Hungary

The new government in Hungary, led by the Tisza party, is reversing strict rules regarding crypto trading.

According to government spokesperson Anita Köböl, the new ruling party draw down rules that previously required approved validation for crypto conversions and assigned criminal penalties for violators.

“This was an unnecessary piece of legislation. It made practical operation impossible and frightened the market participants,” Köböl said. “The criminal consequences also negatively impacted several hundred thousand people.”

The move puts Hungary’s crypto rules more in line with the EU, marking another pro-European shift in governance after Tisza defeating Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party in the 2026 parliamentary elections.

US lawmakers seek coordinated federal response to crypto theft and scams

Lawmakers in the US Congress have introduced legislation that would create a task force led by the Department of Justice to address crypto scams.

Putting the power in the hands of the DOJ means that the task force would share the resources of the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

In addition to establishing the task force, the bill also establishes best practices for evidence collection, blockchain forensics, asset tracing and victim support. It also would allow the task force to coordinate with international law enforcement agencies.

The bill specified that it does not introduce new regulations for cryptocurrency markets, but instead is focused on coordination.

Prediction of the week

Bank of Japan rate decision could put pressure on Bitcoin price

On June 16, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) will make a decision whether to hike interest rates. The decision, along with whale distribution and exchange inflows could put renewed pressure on Bitcoin.

Analysts are looking to BOJ as, ever since the bank ended its negative interest rate policy, its rate increases have preceded sizable corrections in Bitcoin price. After the March 19, 2024, hike, Bitcoin corrected by 18%. The July 31, 2024, increase saw an 18.5% decline.

Crypto analyst MorenoDV said, “Taken together, these three readings describe the stress profile of a late-stage bear market: capitulating whales, distribution into weakness, and a fragile short-term cohort with its finger on the trigger.”

FUD of the week

Crypto scammers exploit World Cup ticket demand, TRM warns

Football fans are flocking to the US, Canada and Mexico to support their national teams in this year’s world cup. So are crypto scammers, according to TRM Labs.

Scammers are targeting fans through fake ticketing sites, fixed-match betting schemes and event-themed crypto promotions.

“Criminals always look to exploit major events and cultural moments and they don’t wait until kickoff,” said Ari Redbord, global head of policy at TRM Labs.

FIFA and the FBI have also issued official warnings about fake tickets on scam websites, and advised football fans to seek tickets only on official channels.

FUD of the week

Delaware, New Jersey advance bills banning crypto ATMs

Two US states, Delaware and New Jersey, are moving forward with legislation that would ban crypto ATMs.

If the bills pass, they would join three other states, Indiana, Tennessee and Minnesota, which have instituted state-wide bans on owning, installing, or operating a crypto ATM.

Bans on crypto ATMs are growing more popular as law enforcement agencies note their proliferation in abetting fraud. The American Association of Retired Persons has repeatedly noted their use in fraud targeting senior citizens.

Regulatory pressure was cited as one reason for Bitcoin Depot going bankrupt last month. The company said that it provided warnings on its devices and “cannot be held liable for the criminal acts of third-party scammers.”
