PANews 3月18日消息，据金十报道，麦格理银行在其最新的客户报告中警告说，特朗普的经济政策有可能引发股市崩盘。除非特朗普退出贸易战并削减支出（目前这似乎不太可能），否则美国实际消费者支出可能会大幅放缓。由于这是熊市最一致的信号，我们认为美股从情人节峰值下跌20%的风险越来越大。美国基准股指标普500指数已经较上个月的高点下跌了近8%，以科技股为主的纳斯达克指数较去年12月触及的峰值下跌了近12%。
西班牙警方捣毁以比特币为主题的加密金字塔骗局，涉案金额达3260万美元
PANews 3月18日消息，据Cryptonews报道，西班牙警方宣布，已成功捣毁一个以比特币为主题的加密金字塔骗局，该骗局致使受害者损失约3260万美元。警方已逮捕8名嫌犯，但估计“超过3600人”在此骗局中遭受损失。国家警察部队（CNP）的经济和金融犯罪部门透露，该犯罪网络的主谋是一名“计算机程序员”，已在马拉加落网。此外，警方还在穆尔西亚和马德里展开行动，拘捕了来自“不同国籍和背景”的嫌疑人，其中包括“营销和网页设计专家”。
该团伙搭建了一个“看似正规的平台”，向客户提供比特币投资计划。随后，他们在各大网站和社交媒体上大肆推广这些产品。诈骗分子还诱骗部分“受害者”交出电子设备控制权，以便“自行进行加密货币转账，并窃取他们的个人和银行信息”。
在调查过程中，警方揭露了一个复杂的投资网络，即利用新投资者的资金来支付老投资者的回报。一些“受害者”与运营者签订了“合同”，运营者承诺“一个月后支付40%的股息，一年后高达300%”。最终，警方追踪到一条“诈骗链条”，发现“涉及多达36个国家的数千名受害者”。
SEC To Reconsider Biden’s Crypto Custody Rule, Acting SEC Chair Uyeda Says

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may backtrack on a proposal to tighten cryptocurrency custody rules, marking another shift under the acting chair’s leadership, influenced by the Trump administration.
The acting head of the U.S. SEC, Mark Uyeda, announced on Monday that the agency might change or even scrap stricter rules proposed by the previous administration.
Uyeda said that there were major concerns about a rule from February 2023 that would require investment advisers to store crypto with qualified custodians. At the 2025 Investment Management Conference in San Diego, Uyeda noted the challenges in moving forward with the rule and asked SEC staff to work with the crypto task force to find better alternatives.
These rules would have forced investment advisors holding cryptocurrencies and other assets to meet stricter standards. Uyeda also revealed that the SEC is looking into altering a rule that requires mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to report their holdings monthly instead of quarterly.
Uyeda outlined plans for a significant shift away from the approach taken by the Biden administration in overseeing Wall Street. Uyeda mainly discussed the SEC’s rulemaking process, including the possibility of withdrawing, re-proposing rules, or delaying compliance deadlines.
Uyeda emphasized that the SEC “needs to prioritize effective and cost-efficient regulations that respect the limits of our statutory authority,” as per a copy of his prepared remarks.
The custody rule, proposed during the Biden administration under Gary Gensler, would require advisers to store client assets, including crypto, with qualified custodians for added protection. This raised concerns about limiting banks willing to work with the crypto sector.
Republicans, crypto firms, and financial companies opposed the rule, saying it could hurt their businesses.
Uyeda’s decision to reconsider this rule is the second time this month he has asked the SEC staff to revisit proposed changes, signaling a shift in the SEC’s approach under the Trump administration.
Paul Atkins, nominated by Trump to replace Uyeda as SEC Chair, is awaiting Senate confirmation. The SEC is also under pressure from White House for staff cuts, but no details have been released.
