In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne break down key developments from the latest FATF plenary—highlighting a growing global emphasis on fraud, stronger public-private collaboration, and updated guidance on payment transparency and targeted sanctions. They also explore the Wolfsberg Group's refreshed framework for a truly effective risk-based approach, centered on proportionality, prioritization, and outcomes—not just compliance for compliance's sake. Back in the U.S., the conversation turns to the evolving regulatory landscape around stablecoins, including new proposed rules extending KYC and CIP requirements—and concerns about whether they go far enough to address illicit finance risks. It's a wide-ranging discussion that reinforces a central theme: effectiveness—not just effort—is becoming the defining standard in AML.

The impact of giving synthetic beings a wallet, an identity, and eventually a body. Jansen Teng, Co-Founder of Virtuals Protocol, joins Sam to lay out one of the most ambitious visions in crypto right now, a parallel society of AI agents that can trade, hire, earn, and eventually inhabit physical bodies. Jansen digs into what it actually takes to build an agentic economy from the ground up, from escrow mechanisms that prevent agents from stealing each other's funds, to real-world robotics deployments at hotels and malls in Southeast Asia.

Illinois just signed the most punitive digital asset tax in US history — a 0.2% fee on every Bitcoin transfer, purchase, and receipt. Effective January 1, 2027. No exemption for transfers to your own wallet. And out-of-state brokers serving Illinois residents are captured too. This week on Canadian Bitcoiners, we break down exactly what the Illinois Digital Asset Tax Act does, who it hits, and why the Crypto Council for Innovation called it "the only state to punitively tax customers simply for receiving digital asset activity."But Illinois isn't the only story. The Federal Reserve proposed bank-style KYC requirements for every stablecoin issuer on June 18 — five agencies, joint rulemaking, comments close August 21. Stablecoins are officially becoming banks. Microsoft disclosed a Tor-based clipper malware campaign (Trojan/CryptoBandits.A) that has been running since February 2026, stealing Bitcoin seed phrases from clipboards and redirecting wallet addresses to attacker wallets via USB worm propagation. If your seed phrase ever passed through a shared Windows machine, you need to hear this.On the Canadian side: Prime Minister Carney's first federal budget cancelled the luxury tax on private jets and yachts — the only item in his budget that makes something cheaper — while Durham Region closed a homeless shelter and homelessness spiked 77% in eight months. Strategy's preferred stock STRC hit a record low of $87 against $100 par. Binance exits the EU on July 1. Jack Mallers' $140M XXI stock option package gets scrutinized. Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped 10% in the 11th-largest downward adjustment in network history.The week's thesis: every financial instrument that isn't Bitcoin is being taxed, tracked, or banned. Illinois taxed transfers. The Fed KYC'd stablecoins. Binance got pushed out of the EU. Bitcoin is the last lane still open.⚡ Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast — Bitcoin news for Canadians, every week.————————————————————————————————SPONSORS

Carolyn Pham, the former CFTC commissioner now leading MoonPay's institutional push, says crypto has roughly two and a half years to become too big to fail — and the numbers already prove it's happening. Stablecoins did $28 trillion in volume in a single quarter, dwarfing Visa and MasterCard combined. Tokenized repo is hitting $10 trillion every month. In this conversation recorded live at Consensus 2026, Carolyn breaks down what MoonPay Institutional actually means for every bank and asset manager trying to get into crypto without building from scratch, why the narrative that DeFi is incompatible with KYC is a complete fallacy, and how she built America's first digital asset taxonomy at the CFTC that became the foundation for everything the SEC and CFTC are doing now. She explains why this isn't disruption but modernization, how a $100 million acquisition of Israeli defense tech cybersecurity gives MoonPay the wallet infrastructure institutions actually trust, and why a Bitcoin in every brokerage account is the real point of no return.

Viele Anleger kamen noch aus der klassischen P2P-Welt mit Konsumkrediten, Rückkaufgarantien und Kreditgeber-Strukturen. LANDE passte in dieses Raster nur bedingt hinein. Es ging nicht um kurzlaufende Verbraucherkredite, sondern um besicherte Finanzierungen für Landwirte. Also um Agrarland, Maschinen, Erntefinanzierungen und Betriebsmittel. Genau das machte die Plattform für mich damals interessant. Aber wie sieht es heute 5 Jahre später aus? Das erfahrt ihr in meinem heutigen Beitrag.

Stellar (XLM) has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in recent weeks, fueled by growing speculation surrounding its role in the future of tokenized finance and digital asset infrastructure. I break down the recent surge in XLM, the significance of the DTCC announcement, and why institutional adoption narratives are once again putting Stellar in the spotlight. We discuss tokenization, blockchain-based settlement, real-world asset infrastructure, and whether Stellar is positioned to play a meaningful role in the next generation of financial markets. Is this the beginning of a larger move for XLM, or just another short-term rally?

Your Stripe account closed and Stripe is still holding your funds? Here's what's actually happening and how to recover Stripe money faster. When Stripe shuts down your account, your remaining balance doesn't get sent to your bank automatically. Instead, Stripe moves those funds into a reserve and holds them — typically 90 to 180 days, sometimes longer — to cover any refunds or chargebacks that come in on past transactions. For high-risk businesses or accounts with messy chargeback history, that hold period can extend even further. In this episode, Maria walks through what happens to your money after a Stripe account shutdown, why the reason you were shut down directly affects your chances of getting paid out, and the exact steps you can take to push for a faster fund release. She also covers one critical mistake founders make with their company and bank account that creates serious delays — and how to avoid it.

Charlene Fadirepo is a former Federal Reserve regulator turned Bitcoin strategist, Author and Consultant. After a decade in banking and consulting, she arrived at Bitcoin through a decades-long search for a financial system without bias. She co-authored “Bitcoin and the American Dream” alongside Jimmy Song, took that work to Capitol Hill, and later wrote “The Bitcoin Leap”, about bitcoin grassroots adoption in Africa. She is also the founder of Satoshi Sister Circle, a leadership and career network for African and African diaspora women. In this conversation, Charlene walks through what she witnessed inside the Fed, why she sees CBDCs as unambiguous surveillance tools and what she thinks about stablecoins,  as well as why Africa doesn't need Bitcoin, Bitcoin needs Africa.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Der Bärenmarkt läuft unerbittlich weiter, doch genau hier trennt sich die Spreu vom Weizen. In dieser Live-Folge habe ich Leon Wankum im Studio zu Gast, der nach drei Jahren Arbeit sein neues Buch Digital Real Estate vorstellt. Wir analysieren nüchtern die psychologischen Dynamiken des Vierjahreszyklus, blicken auf das Worst-Case-Szenario des Power Laws bei 45.000 Dollar und besprechen, warum Bitcoin langfristig das monetäre Premium von Immobilien als globaler Wertspeicher absaugen wird. Abseits von hysterischen Schlagzeilen über angebliche Quantencomputer-Gefahren erörtern wir die fundamentale Rolle von Bitcoin als resilientem Kollateral für Kreditmärkte und warum deflationäres Denken der wahre Schlüssel zu nachhaltigem Wohlstand ist.LEADING PARTNER

Australia's crypto Travel Rule starts on 1 July 2026, and it is already changing how Aussies move Bitcoin and other crypto off exchanges. In this episode, Peter breaks down what AUSTRAC's rule actually requires, why exchanges are adding extra verification, and what it could mean for withdrawals, deposits, cold storage, and financial privacy.The key point is not that every blockchain transaction suddenly has your name written on-chain. The rule applies to regulated businesses such as exchanges, banks, remittance providers, and other virtual asset service providers. But if you move assets between an exchange and a self-custody wallet, expect more friction as platforms collect and pass on payer, payee, and tracing information.Is this a sensible compliance step to reduce scams and money laundering, or does it push too far into personal financial privacy? This episode looks at both sides and asks where the line should be drawn.Key Takeaways:- Australia's crypto Travel Rule takes effect on 1 July 2026 and applies to regulated crypto platforms and other financial businesses.- Crypto exchanges may need to collect and pass on identifying information when customers transfer assets to another platform or wallet.- The rule can apply regardless of transfer size, meaning small and large transfers may face similar compliance checks.- Withdrawals to self-custody wallets may require proof of wallet control before an exchange approves the transfer.- The Travel Rule does not mean names are automatically stamped onto public blockchains for every transaction.- Pure self-custody and peer-to-peer activity sit outside the exchange workflow, but deposits and withdrawals through regulated platforms can still face friction.- The debate is between stronger anti-scam and anti-money-laundering controls versus the loss of practical financial privacy for everyday crypto users.- Australian crypto users should understand the rule before moving assets so they are not surprised by delays or extra verification.Links & References:- https://link.learncardano.io/Z6geXE- Reddit - Please wait for verification: https://link.learncardano.io/HWI7V0- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/bbReRJ- https://link.learncardano.io/frorAV- Australians are Withdrawing Their Bitcoin Because of This Rule Change: https://link.learncardano.io/3Jhrha- Binance Australia Mandates Full User ID for All Crypto Transfers Starting July 1: https://link.learncardano.io/sY4Rrj- Travel Rule Australia: Everything You Need to Know | Swyftx - Cheap, Easy, Secure: https://link.learncardano.io/50r9d9Website: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

Alex Thorn talks with CZ, founder of Binance, about where we sit in the four-year cycle and whether $60K is the new floor, why there are no dead bodies floating up this time, the great convergence of TradFi and crypto and why he thinks it should just be one industry, perps coming onshore to CME and CBOE, his take on Hyperliquid's no-KYC model, prediction markets and the state-versus-federal fight, why he'd freeze Satoshi's coins a year after a quantum fork, what YZI Labs is funding beyond crypto including an artificial womb company, and why agentic AI payments will run on crypto in months not years.

If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer came online tomorrow, every token on every blockchain would be a target — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana all share signature schemes that pre-date the post-quantum era. The math has been clear since the 1990s. What's been missing is the machine. That uncomfortable truth anchors this week's TRM Talks.Brett Falk, research faculty at the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Crypto and Society Lab, joins Ari to work through what that actually means — why Shor's algorithm threatens every chain, what NIST's 2024 post-quantum standards mean in practice, and why Ethereum is better positioned than Bitcoin to respond. They also dig into the back-to-back Drift and Kelp DAO exploits and what made the DPRK playbook behind them unlike anything we've seen before, and into the cryptographic tools — zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, credential-based KYC — that let users prove compliance without turning every business into a ransomware target. The math to thread that needle already exists.

In het tweede deel van Cryptocast 434 staat Hyperliquid centraal, de decentrale beurs die uitgroeit tot een van de grootste namen in de sector. Te gast is Pim Swart van durfkapitaalfonds Maven 11, dat investeert in jonge cryptobedrijven en volgende week tijdens de Dutch Blockchain Week een evenement met Hyperliquid organiseert. Naast hem zit co-host Bert Slagter, analist bij Bitcoin Alpha. Kees Dorresteijn presenteert. Hyperliquid is een decentrale exchange waar je vooral handelt in perpetuals, futurescontracten zonder einddatum waarmee je met een hefboom long of short kunt gaan. Het platform draait 24 uur per dag en biedt naast spothandel ook eigen markten via HIP-3, waarop bijvoorbeeld de S&P 500, goud of aandelen van bedrijven die nog niet naar de beurs zijn verhandeld worden. Die laatste categorie leverde veel aandacht op. Toen SpaceX vorige week naar de beurs ging, kon je het aandeel in het weekend al op Hyperliquid verhandelen. Eerder gebeurde iets vergelijkbaars met olie tijdens de spanningen rond de Straat van Hormuz, toen de reguliere markten dicht waren maar Hyperliquid een actuele prijs bleef tonen. Swart legt uit waarom het zo hard groeit. Het volume steeg in een jaar van ongeveer 200 naar 300 miljard dollar per maand, en het platform doet inmiddels zo'n 17 procent van het volume van Binance. Het team telt nog steeds maar veertien mensen, wat het volgens Swart per werknemer een van de winstgevendste bedrijven maakt. Voordelen ten opzichte van een Robinhood of Coinbase zijn de lage kosten van vijf basispunten, het ontbreken van KYC en een ruimer aanbod aan assets. Daarna gaat het over de HYPE token en de vraag wie de waarde van het netwerk vangt. Hyperliquid haalde nooit geld op bij investeerders en gaf in plaats daarvan 30 procent van de tokens weg aan vroege gebruikers. Het bedrijf gebruikt het grootste deel van de handelsinkomsten om tokens terug te kopen en te verbranden, vergelijkbaar met een aandeleninkoop. Daardoor gedraagt de token zich bijna als aandeel. Tot slot kijken Swart en Slagter vooruit naar de regulering, de concurrentie van traditionele handelshuizen en de vraag of oprichter Jeff Yan het bedrijf door dat speelveld kan navigeren. Yan, voormalig handelaar bij Hudson River Trading, spreekt volgende week op de Dutch Blockchain Week. Co-host is Bert Slagter. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, co-founder of U-Tribe and GIFT (Gold International Fungible Token), to explore one of the most ambitious real-world asset projects I've come across. Mamadou spent decades in banking and early-stage investing across Africa , including in the first GSM projects and mobile payments before M-Pesa , and he turned that experience into a mission: giving anyone on earth access to physical, one-to-one backed gold from as little as 15 cents. We talk about why central banks are quietly buying more physical gold than at any point in the past 40 years, why the gold ETF market is dangerously over-encumbered, and how GIFT's MiCA-regulated token could become the financial safety net for 2.5 billion people across 35 countries. Mamadou also walks me through their quantum-enhanced wallet, their Ubuntu Academy for financial and digital literacy, and their upcoming STO launching in July. This one is packed with insight on the real shift happening in global finance right now. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome to Fraud Forward.I recorded this live from Safeguard's AI Deep Dive Retreat at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, and y'all, let me tell you something: this was not just another room full of AI buzzwords. This was fraud leaders, payment experts, financial institution professionals, fintech voices, marketplace operators, and risk leaders all sitting in the same place asking one very real question.What happens to fraud prevention when artificial intelligence changes everything?The future of AI fraud is not some far-off thing we are all fixin' to deal with later. It is already here. We are seeing AI change the speed, scale, and complexity of fraud operations right now. We are seeing it show up in synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, AI identity verification, agentic AI fraud, fraud detection automation, governance conversations, and the pressure fraud teams are already carrying every single day.But this episode is not about panic.It is about realism.It is about what fraud fighters are seeing, what institutions are building, where the gaps still are, and how we keep humans at the center while fraud keeps accelerating around us.What you'll hear in this episode:A practical conversation about the future of AI fraud and what it means for fraud operationsHow AI fraud prevention is changing across banking, credit unions, fintech, payments, marketplaces, and risk teamsWhy synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, and identity fraud prevention are becoming major areas of concernHow AI in fraud prevention can help investigators analyze data, identify patterns, and reduce noiseWhy AI governance in fraud prevention cannot be treated as something we clean up laterHow agentic AI fraud, know your agent, and KYA fraud prevention are becoming part of the next conversationWhy human-in-the-loop fraud detection still matters, even when fraud analyst AI tools are getting betterHow fraud fighters and AI can work together without replacing the people who know this work bestA reminder that responsible AI risk management has to include governance, empathy, collaboration, and practical controlsWho should listen:Financial institution leaders and fraud professionalsRisk, compliance, and cybersecurity teamsFraud operations teams and investigatorsCredit union and community bank leadersBanking fraud prevention teamsCredit union fraud prevention teamsFintech, payments, and marketplace risk teamsBSA, AML, KYC, and identity teamsRegulators and policy advisorsIndustry advocates and victim support professionalsMedia professionals covering scams, fraud, AI, and financial crimeAnyone trying to understand how AI-driven fraud affects real people, real institutions, and real fraud teamsThis conversation is for the fraud fighters who are not just trying to check a compliance box. It is for the teams trying to protect members, customers, and communities while also figuring out how to use AI-powered fraud prevention without creating new risk.

Industry experts estimate synthetic identity fraud costs the financial industry as high as $95 billion a year, and the most damaging attacks pass every verification check without triggering a single alert.Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, brings 25 years of payments and fraud infrastructure experience to a direct conversation with Hal Lonas, Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, the identity verification platform trusted by Google, JP Morgan Payments, Stripe, Airbnb, and Meta.Lonas explains why detection rates hide more than they reveal, how fraudsters now add intentional imperfections to AI-generated deepfakes to beat detection systems, and why agentic commerce requires an entirely new verification layer beyond KYC and KYB. The conversation covers Trulioo's Know Your Agent (KYA) framework, the Digital Agent Passport, Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and the privacy regulation debate most compliance teams have not fully worked through.Find out more1️⃣ Ask your identity vendor for their false negative rate, not just their detection rate, and demand specific numbers.2️⃣ Build continuous monitoring into your post-onboarding workflow so your system is still watching on day 30, 60, and 90.3️⃣ Audit every automated decision model in your stack and document the logic before your next regulatory exam.4️⃣ Map your verification flow and tier friction based on real-time risk signals instead of running flat checks on every customer.5️⃣ Get your compliance and growth teams in the same room with a shared dashboard showing fraud loss rates and abandonment rates side by side.Guest:Hal Lonas LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hal-lonas-4555b1Hal Lonas X: https://x.com/hal_lonasCompany:Trulioo: https://www.trulioo.comFintech Confidential:Podcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNotifications: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSupporters:Under.io streamlines application and underwriting by digitizing PDFs for digital signature: under.io/FTCSkyflow is a zero trust data privacy vault delivered as an API, covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2, and beyond: skyflowsecure.comDFNS provides wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC, used by Stripe, Fidelity, and others: fintechconfidential.com/dfnsHawk AI offers real-time payment screening, AML monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating to reduce false positives: gethawk.comAbout:Hal Lonas is the Chief Technology Officer of Trulioo, where he leads technology strategy, product development, and engineering.

Mike Dudas holds zero ETH and sees Hyperliquid as crypto's Tether moment. He also has a clear framework for what makes a token worth buying. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Fidelity: Explore crypto careers and make the decision that could change your future at https://crypto.fidelitycareers.com ======================================================== Strategy sold 32 Bitcoin, worth just $2.5 million, and the market didn't miss it. For Mike Dudas, Managing Partner at 6th Man Ventures, the sale broke the "never sell" promise that sustained the company's premium. He doesn't see how the narrative gets rebuilt. Dudas applies the same unsentimental read to the rest of the L1 landscape. His firm holds zero ETH — five years of contradictory narratives have left the market unable to value it. In his view, Solana's decline is simpler: memecoin activity peaked and hasn't recovered. Hyperliquid, in his view, is closer to Tether than a competing L1: the no-KYC international market is enormous, and asset quality is the moat. His framework for tokens worth owning: programmatic buybacks and consistent communication from leadership. On AI, he argues agentic trading will far outpace agentic payments — Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are moving too fast for new entrants to displace them.

How do you prove there's a real human on the other side of the screen when AI can generate faces, IDs, accounts, agents, and entire swarms of bots?Tiago Sada, Chief Product Officer at Tools for Humanity, joins The Neuron to explain why proof of human may become one of the internet's most important trust layers. Tools for Humanity is building the technology behind World and World ID, a system designed to verify that someone is a real, unique person without requiring them to reveal their identity across the web.Tiago breaks down why CAPTCHAs, phone numbers, KYC, and AI-detection systems are starting to fail; how World ID uses in-person verification, cryptography, and zero-knowledge proofs; and why the future internet may need to distinguish between humans, bots, and agents acting on behalf of humans.We also discuss concert ticket scalping, Tinder verification, Zoom deepfake protection, enterprise fraud, gaming bots, and why AI agents may need a kind of digital “power of attorney.”Subscribe to The Neuron for clear, practical conversations about AI and the future of technology: https://www.theneuron.ai/This episode is sponsored by Guru. https://www.getguru.com/?utm_source=theneuron&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=silver-bundle-june2026
