The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the approval of a rule change application for listing multi-cryptocurrency asset trust options on NYSE American. According to BlockBeats, this marks an expansion from previously allowing options for single cryptocurrency asset trusts to now supporting options for trusts holding multiple crypto assets.
The prerequisites for listing include each cryptocurrency asset held by the trust meeting high liquidity standards, with an average daily market value of at least $700 million over the past 12 months. Additionally, derivative contracts for these assets must have comprehensive surveillance sharing agreements with trading platforms.
Trust shares must adhere to the initial and ongoing listing standards for ETF options on trading platforms and be classified as NMS stocks.

#Rwanda #CentralBank #CryptoRegulation #FRW #Cryptocurrency #VASP #CBDC #DigitalCurrency #FinancialRegulation #eFRW
Rwanda's central bank has issued a warning against using the Rwandan Franc (FRW) for cryptocurrency payments and peer-to-peer trading following the listing of FRW on Bybit's platform. According to NS3.AI, this caution comes as a draft law proposes fines of up to 30 million FRW for unlicensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) operators. The Rwandan Cabinet approved the bill on March 4, 2026, and the Chamber of Deputies passed its general principles on March 31, with committee reviews still ongoing.
In addition to regulatory measures, the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR) is conducting a 12-month domestic pilot for its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the e-FRW, after completing a proof-of-concept in February 2026. This initiative reflects Rwanda's cautious approach to integrating digital currencies within its financial system while ensuring regulatory compliance and consumer protection.#Rwanda #CentralBank #CryptoRegulation #FRW #Cryptocurrency #VASP #CBDC #DigitalCurrency #FinancialRegulation #eFRW

#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #TokenizedAssets #Stablecoins #DigitalAssetRegulation #RWA #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarketsAct #ForeignExchange #Interoperability #DigitalAssetBasicAct
South Korea's Democratic Party is moving to integrate tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins into the existing legal framework. According to ChainCatcher, the proposal includes provisions in the draft of the Digital Asset Basic Act.
The proposal mandates that issuers of tokenized RWAs deposit linked assets into trust accounts in accordance with the Capital Markets Act. Stablecoins are classified as 'means of payment' under the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, to be regulated by foreign exchange authorities without requiring additional registration. Small stablecoin transactions are exempt from foreign exchange reporting, while larger transactions remain subject to regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the proposal prohibits offering returns on idle stablecoin balances and requires the Financial Services Commission to establish technical standards for stablecoin interoperability. The Digital Asset Basic Act represents South Korea's second set of digital asset regulations, which has faced multiple legislative delays, pushing the original 2025 launch timeline further back.#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #TokenizedAssets #Stablecoins #DigitalAssetRegulation #RWA #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarketsAct #ForeignExchange #Interoperability #DigitalAssetBasicAct
