According to PANews, Nubank, a crypto-friendly financial institution in Brazil, is under scrutiny by the country's central bank following new regulations passed in November. These rules prohibit companies without a banking license from using the term 'bank' or similar expressions in foreign languages in their branding. Despite its name, Nubank is not officially recognized as a bank, leading to an identity crisis. In response, the company is considering acquiring a small licensed bank to comply with the regulations. Sources indicate that acquiring a bank with accumulated losses could also provide tax benefits. Nubank has not yet made a final decision and may opt to apply for a new license from the Brazilian Central Bank, although this process is lengthy and costly compared to acquisition.

According to BlockBeats, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins announced that the American financial markets are on the verge of transitioning to blockchain technology. Atkins emphasized that under his leadership, the SEC is prioritizing innovation and actively adopting new technologies to achieve this blockchain future while continuing to protect investor interests. The shift to on-chain markets is expected to offer investors greater predictability, transparency, and efficiency. Participants of the Depository Trust Company (DTC) can now directly transfer tokenized securities to registered wallets of other participants, with these transactions being officially recorded by the DTC. Atkins expressed anticipation for the SEC to consider an innovative exemption policy that would allow innovators to leverage new technologies and business models to begin transitioning markets to blockchain without being constrained by cumbersome regulatory requirements. Additionally, the SEC has approved the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) to custody and confirm tokenized stocks and real-world assets on the blockchain.
