[Canadian Court Rules Ontario Securities Commission's Request for Binance Documents Unconstitutional] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Canada has ruled in the case of 'Binance Holdings Limited v. Ontario Securities Commission' to overturn the Ontario Securities Commission's previous extensive request for documents from Binance, deeming the request 'overly broad and unconstitutional.' The court stated that the request violated Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects against 'unreasonable search and seizure.' The court emphasized that while privacy expectations for capital market participants are relatively low, they are still protected under the Charter, and regulatory investigations must be limited to categories of documents that are reasonably relevant. Additionally, the court found that Binance's use of encrypted communication tools like Signal does not suffice to infer an intent to evade regulation.
[A16z Suggests U.S. Treasury Exclude Decentralized Stablecoins from GENIUS Act Regulations] A16z Crypto has sent a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, recommending that the Treasury explicitly define stablecoins in its regulatory guidelines and exclude decentralized stablecoins from the regulatory scope of the GENIUS Act. A16z pointed out that decentralized stablecoins like Ethereum-collateralized LUSD, which are issued through autonomous smart contracts without centralized entity control, should not be considered as issued by an 'individual.' They suggest referencing the decentralization determination framework outlined in the 2025 Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act. Additionally, A16z called for the modernization of anti-money laundering (AML) and KYC rules while avoiding stifling innovation. Regulatory head Michele Korver stated that decentralized digital identities, combined with zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation technologies, can protect privacy and enhance national security.

[Bitunix Analyst: Cooling AI Investment May Affect Capital Flows in the Crypto Market] On November 12, Michael Burry, the prototype of 'The Big Short,' and legendary short-seller Jim Chanos warned that the AI investment frenzy might be entering the late bubble stage. They pointed out that the massive capital expenditures by mega-cap tech companies on AI servers and chips could lead to depreciation pressures and issues of overestimated profitability. A Goldman Sachs report suggests that the current AI trading trend may replay the turning point of the 1990s boom. Bitunix analysts believe that the cooling of the AI craze could drive capital from overvalued tech giants to crypto assets, though an overall contraction in risk appetite might lead to short-term volatility. BTC is operating within the $102,000 to $108,000 range, and the crypto market may attract both hedging and speculative liquidity.
