MSCI confirms Strategy’s removal from indexes at end of November

MSCI has confirmed that Bitcoin treasury company Strategy will be removed from its global equity indexes, along with Metaplanet and Upexi, with the deletions taking effect after the Nov. 30 close and Ether treasury firm Sharplink placed on a watchlist. Strategy shares fell 1.65% in after-hours trading, and the removal could prompt index-tracking funds to sell shares; JPMorgan previously estimated Strategy’s exclusion could trigger roughly $2.8 billion in selling. Strategy opposed the move but downplayed the disruption, saying MSCI-linked funds held about 13 million shares—3.1% of basic shares outstanding and less than one day’s trading volume.

Deutsche Bank launches crypto custody for companies and institutions

Deutsche Bank launched crypto custody and transfer services for institutional and corporate clients, allowing them to store and transfer Bitcoin, Ether and select stablecoins—including USDC, EURC and AllUnity EURAU—while the bank manages wallets and private keys. The service is listed in the EU’s MiCA register with Germany’s BaFin as regulator, and Deutsche Bank signed an MOU with Deutsche Asset Management to explore tokenized money market funds, crypto asset exchange-traded commodities and stablecoins. The bank plans to launch in Germany before expanding to Asian financial centers in 2027, building on its 2023 partnership with Taurus.

South Korea to permit crypto withdrawal freezes during hacking threats

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission plans to issue a no-action letter allowing crypto exchanges to suspend deposits and withdrawals when hacking is suspected, even before a breach is confirmed, amid calls for stronger industry security. The regulator also urged round-the-clock monitoring, higher cold-wallet holdings, and stronger insurance and reserves. The move follows recent incidents including GOPAX’s precautionary service suspension after a hacking threat and Prabang’s roughly $70,000 hot-wallet loss.

Paraguay bank collapse shows stablecoins can offer a lifeline… of sorts

Ueno Bank’s collapse left nearly 3 million Paraguayans unable to access accounts after solvency and lending problems forced the digital lender into resolution. As the guaraní fell and payments stalled, some turned to dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDt for liquidity and savings protection, with local crypto platforms seeing strong demand.

Stablecoins offered a temporary lifeline, but they are not risk-free: they lack bank deposit guarantees and can be exposed to banking failures, as with USDC during Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse. Analysts say Paraguay has not seen a mass shift into stablecoins, though the incident may encourage people to diversify across banks, cash and digital assets.
