1/2 Hong Kong may be quietly building one of Asia’s most important regulated stablecoin rails.
@osldotcom has completed an @ethereum mainnet transfer test using HKDAP, a licensed HKD stablecoin issued by Anchorpoint Financial Technology.
The test converted fiat HKD into reserve assets, with Standard Chartered’s infrastructure and institutional trust services supporting full reserve backing for the minted HKDAP.
All HKDAP used in the test was redeemed after completion.
OSL plans phased issuance by the end of Q2.
May 14
OSL Group and Anchorpoint completed HKDAP test transfers on Ethereum Mainnet, marking a key step toward secure fiat-to-digital gateways and real-world regulated stablecoin use cases in Hong Kong.
As Kevin Cui, Executive Director and CEO of OSL Group, highlighted, this aligns with OSL’s mission to make money move as freely as information.
With OSL StableHub, OSL BizPay, and @BanxaOfficial , OSL is building integrated stablecoin infrastructure for liquidity, distribution, and real-world adoption.

2/2 Why this matters:
• Hong Kong is China’s regulated crypto gateway
• HKD stablecoin rails are being tested on Ethereum
• regulated fiat-to-crypto settlement is moving onchain
• this could support cross-border payments and RWA tokenization
• it gives China a potential regulated HKD stablecoin rail to compete in a market still dominated by USDT and USDC

2/3 Once investigators got the wallet, the trail didn’t stop.
They traced six more wallets tied to businessman Lin Kechuang. One 15.5M USDT transfer was said to point to Luo Lin, then party chief of Chongqing’s Liangjiang New Area.
His cold wallet was allegedly kept at a lawyer’s home.

3/3 The lawyer was Peng Jing (the female in the 1st tweet), a well-connected Chongqing legal figure who has since been taken away for questioning.
The sender, Lin Kechuang, is tied by marriage to Lin Xiucheng, founder of Sanan Optoelectronics, who was also taken away around the same period.
Mass adoption has arrived.
Just not in the way the pitch decks promised.

Bitcoin vs. Gold in wartime? Look at Iran. Following recent airstrikes, UK firm Elliptic reported a 7x surge in withdrawals from Iran's top crypto exchange, Nobitex.
Unlike physical gold—which is heavy, risky to carry, and easily confiscated at borders—#Crypto allows citizens to quickly and safely move assets during a crisis. (A similar surge was seen during the Jan 9 protests).
Real-world proof that digital assets offer true financial mobility when it matters most. 🛡️🌍

最近关于打起仗来到底是持有比特币还是黄金的问题讨论很激烈，看看当事人伊朗的老百姓到底是怎么做的吧。Elliptic是一家位于英国的金融犯罪调查公司，，专门服务于加密合规领域的反洗钱和反恐怖主义，所以权威性上还是很高的，下图1他们监测到在前天美以联军发动首次空袭后，伊朗最大的加密货币交易所Nobitex的资产流出量激增了7倍，也就意味着大量伊朗人通过紧急提币快速转移了资产。至于黄金，数量少你还能塞两根金条到屁眼里夹着出海关，数量太多了先不论搬不搬得动，战时携带大量黄金外逃直接给你没收抓壮丁。
除了这几天以外，下图2中可以看到1月9号伊朗大规模示威的时候也出现了大量加密货币流出激增的情况。

Chinese tech money gaining #Bitcoin exposure!
Coolpad Group, via its wholly-owned subsidiary Digital Tech, has acquired 39,000 shares of MicroStrategy $MSTR for approximately $5 million.
The board calls this a major strategic move to enter the digital currency space and expand their digital asset portfolio.

183 $BTC Seized in China: Hacker vs. Police vs. Police?
A Chinese network engineer allegedly exploited a gambling site, redirecting ~$5M in affiliate fees to his own wallet.
Now, he’s facing 10 years. But the story gets wild: Two different police depts fought over the case (and the assets). His 183 BTC? Already sold by police for fiat.

3/ The Defense:
Lawyers are pleading NOT GUILTY.
🚩 Evidence tampering: HDDs weren't sealed.
🚩 Coercion: Li claims police threatened his pregnant wife to get a confession.
🚩 Double Jeopardy: Charged with "Opening a Casino" first, then switched to "Theft" to make charges stick.

IRONY: China's CBDC Chief (2000 ETH Bribe) — The Yao Qian Scandal
Yao Qian, former head of China's Digital Currency Institute (the guy BUILDING the digital yuan), was just expelled from the Party & government for taking $10M in crypto bribes.
The details are WILD:
1/ WHO HE WAS:
PBoC Digital Currency Research Institute head
Tech Regulation Chief of China Securities Regulatory Commission
THE architect of China's CBDC
Top crypto regulator since 2017
Literally the man in charge of China's state crypto policy.
2/ THE 2000 ETH BRIBE:
In 2018, he helped a token project list on an exchange. His payment? 2,000 ETH — worth $60M at peak.
Investigators traced every transaction from 2018 → 2021, when he cashed out 370 ETH for $1.5M.
3/ THE SCHEME:
Hardware wallets seized from his office
"Shell accounts" under relatives' names to buy a $3M Beijing villa
Subordinate created "relay addresses" to launder bribes
Thought blockchain anonymity would protect him
4/ HOW THEY CAUGHT HIM:
Chinese anti-graft units used blockchain forensics to:
Trace every transaction on-chain
Link "anonymous" wallets to his identity
Cross-reference bank records
Follow the money to the villa
5/ THE LESSON:
Blockchain never forgets.
Even China's CBDC chief couldn't beat its transparency. The moment you cash out to real assets, you leave traces.
Crypto isn't anonymous—it's pseudonymous. And authorities now have the tools.
HODL your morals, not just your coins.

From Bitcoin intern to Meta VP: The incredible journey of Manus founder Xiao Hong!
In 2013, while studying at Huazhong University, Xiao interned at 壹比特, a Bitcoin project alongside early Chinese crypto pioneers like @DiscusFish (F2Pool/Cobo co-founder). He listed "btc hodler" in his bio and HODLed through multiple cycles.
Fast forward to Dec 2025: Meta acquired his AI agent company Manus for $2B 🎯
As @DiscusFish noted: "From Bitcoin to AI agents. The times have changed."
The ultimate crossover story: early crypto conviction → AI innovation → Big Tech leadership. A decade-long bet that paid off massively.
Crypto natives are shaping the future beyond blockchain. 🔥

Bitcoin hashrate just plunged ~17%—as Xinjiang authorities shut down hundreds of thousands of mining rigs in a renewed crackdown. These miners operate in a legal gray zone with no asset protection; many face outright confiscation. It's a human tragedy behind the metrics.
Yet this pain catalyzes true decentralization. Hashpower is already migrating to Texas, Kazakhstan, Iceland—jurisdictions beyond any single state's grip. China's '21 purge triggered a global mining boom; this wave could accelerate green energy adoption and regulatory clarity worldwide.
Bitcoin's design absorbs such shocks. Short-term hit, long-term network resilience.
