Foresight News reported, citing Decrypt, that the Federal Court of Australia has fined Qoin Wallet operator BPS Financial 14 million AUD (approximately 9.9 million USD). The court found that over the past three years, the company promoted and operated Qoin Wallet without holding an Australian financial services license. In addition, the company engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct regarding the use of Qoin tokens for merchant transactions and their exchange for cash or other digital assets. Joe Longo, Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), stated that this penalty aims to send a strong deterrent message to the digital asset industry.

Goldman Sachs Volatility Panic Index surged to 9.57, approaching its maximum value, with the largest single-day increase ranking third in history, and the combined two-day volatility setting a new record. Historical data shows that after this index has exceeded the 9.5 threshold 15 times, the S&P 500 has seen an average three-month gain of 4.6% with a success rate of 80%. However, Goldman Sachs traders warn that forced liquidations have not yet fully cleared, and the market is still searching for a bottom, but opportunities on the other side are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
