The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) reported that cryptocurrency-related scams are a major cause of approximately 500 million euros in losses for victims each year.

11. Hong Kong's "Stablecoin Regulation Bill" has been submitted for its first reading in the Legislative Council.
On December 6, the Hong Kong government published the "Stablecoin Regulation Bill" in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Gazette, bringing it closer to becoming law. On December 18, the bill was submitted for its first reading in the Hong Kong Legislative Council. Before the bill can be signed into law, it must go through three readings, which include a series of debates, reviews, and potential amendments. Once the bill passes the three readings, it will be forwarded to the Chief Executive of Hong Kong for signing into law. The stablecoin bill consists of three key components, including licensing and requirements for designated stablecoin issuers, restrictions on the issuance and marketing of designated stablecoins, and broader consumer protection measures. Once the bill is signed into law, stablecoin issuers in Hong Kong will be required to obtain a license from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and issuers must comply with comprehensive requirements to obtain a license. Regulators will assess issuers and their controllers, resources, stablecoins, reserve assets, and mechanisms to stabilize their value. Additionally, only regulated entities and platforms will be allowed to offer stablecoins or sell them to the public in Hong Kong. -Original

14. Animoca Brands founder Yat Siu's X account was compromised to promote a fake token.
Animoca Brands stated in a post on social media that the company's co-founder Yat Siu (one of CoinDesk's most influential people of 2024) had his X account hacked and used to promote a fictitious token. Animoca, a metaverse and gaming venture capital firm, issued a warning on its account at 01:36 UTC on Thursday, stating that Siu's account had been compromised and that the company would not be launching any official tokens or non-fungible tokens (NFTs).‼️ Unfortunately, @ysiu's social media account has been hacked. Animoca Brands has not released any official tokens or NFTs. The token release claimed in the post on Solana was initiated by hackers. Please do not interact with that account and stay vigilant. We will provide… On December 26, 2024, according to ZachXBT, the breach may have been implemented through a phishing email claiming to be from X and related to copyright infringement. This crypto vulnerability investigator released several similar attacks that occurred over the past month, during which the perpetrators managed to escape with approximately $500,000 in losses. According to screenshots released by ZachXBT, false posts from Siu's account promoted a token called MOCA on the Solana blockchain. The Moca Foundation is a "community-owned foundation aimed at enhancing the Mocaverse network effect," which has its own Moca Coin (MOCA), described as a "full-chain network token." Mocaverse is an account and ID management system, in which both Animoca and Siu hold personal stakes. According to a post from Mocaverse, Siu's account control has been obtained by X, which is currently verifying ownership. The related accounts remain unaffected. "Animoca Brands, Moca Network, or MOCA Foundation's official accounts have not been affected and have strict security measures," it stated. -Original
