Bybit, the third-largest offshore exchange, has opened registration and authentication for users in China after previously prohibiting them. This sudden change is significant given that there are potentially tens of millions of Chinese users interested in trading. The decision has caused concern among Bybit employees, reflecting the cautious approach the company has maintained for years. In related developments, Binance is facing scrutiny over contract approval risks in its main wallets. The approval process for BUSD has been stagnant for over two years, raising alarms about large cryptocurrencies with unlimited approval limits.

Despite the layoffs, Binance claims it is still hiring for several positions and that new user registrations remain strong. Hong Kong is implementing new cryptocurrency regulations, which, while not as liberal as some had hoped, offer a structured approach to compliance. This shift comes as exchanges like Binance and KuCoin navigate the changing landscape by adjusting their policies and practices. In another incident, Euler Finance has reportedly been attacked, with over $177 million suspected to have been stolen. The attack highlights vulnerabilities in on-chain lending services, particularly due to inadequate liquidity checks.
