The French Ministry of Finance, the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), the French Central Bank, and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) jointly proposed amendments to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), requiring cryptocurrency platforms to take responsibility for customer losses when they actively provide access to DeFi protocols without reviewing the protocols or ignoring known security risks.The French side proposed that platforms review relevant protocols before providing DeFi access and continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and suspicious activities, while also supporting the certification of protocols and smart contracts. These requirements will apply comprehensively to significant Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASP), with smaller platforms subject to proportionately adjusted obligations. France also proposed transferring the regulatory authority of significant CASPs from national regulators to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and lowering the current EU daily active user threshold of 15 million. Additionally, France suggested re-examining the category of Asset-Referenced Tokens (ART) and adjusting the Electronic Money Token (EMT) framework to cover multi-currency stablecoins.

On the 11th, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates stated in a television interview that AI is the most dangerous technology ever invented by humanity, with risks exceeding those of cars, airplanes, and pharmaceuticals. He mentioned that the real threat at present is not AI going out of control, as that scenario is still years away from becoming a reality; rather, the more immediate threat is criminals using AI to carry out extortion, manipulate the stock market, and other crimes.Gates indicated that as criminals crack and bypass the security protections of the latest AI models, there will be a significant number of negative events in the cybersecurity field over the next year. He also mentioned concerns about biosecurity, stating that AI has significant implications for fields such as healthcare, but the potential risks still outweigh those of traditional industries that are already under strict regulation. Currently, there is no effective regulatory framework established globally, and within the next year, industry governance will have to move beyond mere self-regulation, while existing resource investments are far from sufficient.According to reports cited by the Financial Associated Press, Ken McCallum, the director of the UK's MI5, stated in the annual threat assessment that AI is exacerbating the cyber offense and defense game and may change the risk landscape of biological weapons. MI5 has announced the establishment of an AI threat assessment center. Additionally, reports indicate that executives from laboratories such as OpenAI and Anthropic have recently privately simulated disaster response plans, believing that a likely scenario involves cyberattacks impacting financial services, internet connectivity, or water and electricity supply.

A federal judge in Michigan rejected Coinbase's request for a preliminary injunction to block state enforcement of sports event contracts. U.S. District Judge Shalina Kumar of the Eastern District of Michigan ruled on Thursday that Coinbase failed to demonstrate that its claims were likely to succeed on the merits of the case, namely that federal law takes precedence over Michigan's jurisdiction.The cryptocurrency exchange sued the state of Michigan in December 2025, claiming that prediction markets fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), rather than state regulatory agencies.Coinbase specifically sought to provide access to event contracts issued by Kalshi for customers on its platform, including those in Michigan. According to the complaint, the exchange claimed that Michigan's laws constitute a "conflict of priority," as these laws undermine Congress's efforts to establish a unified federal regulatory framework.

Circle's Senior Director of Strategy and Policy, Patrick Hansen, stated that after the comprehensive implementation of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), licenses have been issued for 35 electronic currency tokens from 21 issuers, and local issuers are making good progress. Patrick Hansen pointed out that the strict regulations of MiCA have made it impossible for most major stablecoin issuers, including Tether, to meet operational requirements. Currently, only USDG, USDC, and EURC comply with the framework requirements, while other stablecoins fall outside the regulatory scope of MiCA, leaving EU users unprotected or unable to access services.He believes that the upcoming review of MiCA should address this issue and provide a more pragmatic operational pathway for foreign issuers. The EU's Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services, and Capital Markets Union launched a public consultation on May 20 to assess whether the current framework is still applicable, with the consultation continuing until September 30.
