Odaily News, Cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes has discovered that multiple fake cryptocurrency anti-money laundering (AML) detection websites are impersonating legitimate services such as AMLBot, tricking users into connecting their wallets and authorizing transactions. Legitimate AML checks only require a wallet's public address—there is no need to connect a wallet, approve permissions, or sign transactions.
These websites simulate the service process through fake progress prompts and detection results. One of the sites even asks users to deposit a small amount of funds to pay so-called detection fees, after which it displays a "clean, low-risk" result regardless of whether a real check was completed. Connecting a wallet does not directly lead to asset theft, but it does expose the address and asset information, making it easier for scammers to craft transactions for users to approve.
Malwarebytes noted that similar scams use the same design and process, only changing the names and logos. Users who have approved suspicious token permissions should revoke those permissions; users who have entered their mnemonic phrases or private keys should treat their wallets as compromised and transfer assets to a new wallet.

Odaily News: US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig said on Thursday that even if Congress fails to pass the Clarity Act, the crypto industry will eventually see market structure regulatory rules. Selig stated that establishing a market structure is very important, which can be achieved either through the formulation of regulatory rules or through legislation. The CFTC is weighing a series of potential cryptocurrency rules and is still awaiting progress on the Clarity Act. The bill, which would grant the CFTC primary authority over the digital asset industry, is currently deadlocked in the Senate and is scheduled for a procedural vote in mid-September. However, it remains highly contentious and may struggle to secure enough votes before lawmakers shift their focus to the November midterm elections. Selig added that legislation is the most reliable way to define the crypto market structure, but the CFTC also holds considerable power under existing regulations; if it needs to exercise that power to set rules without supporting legislation, the CFTC will do so.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Bitcoin News stated on the X platform that the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has proposed new U.S. accounting guidance that would allow eligible stablecoins to be classified as cash equivalents in corporate financial statements. Under the proposal, qualifying digital assets must meet the following key characteristics: redeemable for cash on demand; holders can redeem a fixed amount of cash directly from the issuer; reserve assets must be held separately and fully backed at a 1:1 ratio by short-term, highly liquid assets (DART). FASB did not modify the existing definition of cash equivalents but clarified how that definition applies to digital assets such as stablecoins. Companies would also be required to annually disclose significant components of cash equivalents, including categories such as Treasury bills, money market funds, and stablecoins. The proposal is open for public comment until November 19, 2026.
