Greece approves a crypto capital gains tax
Greece’s parliament passed legislation imposing a 10% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency, according to Reuters, as cited by PANews. The report described the measure as the country’s first comprehensive legal framework for taxing crypto assets.
Annual crypto capital gains of up to €500, approximately $563, would be exempt. The supplied report did not specify when the tax would take effect.
Binance seeks return of frozen assets through Arbitrum governance
Binance submitted a proposal to the Arbitrum governance forum requesting the return of 8,425.997 ETH and 74,559,805.2 ARB frozen on Arbitrum One. The exchange requested that the assets be sent to a designated recovery address to compensate affected users.
According to the report, the Arbitrum Security Council froze the funds following an attack on Binance’s hot wallet and transferred them to a specified address.
The request remained at the forum discussion stage, rather than being an approved transfer. Subsequent steps would include a Snapshot temperature-check vote and on-chain governance. The process was expected to take approximately 49 days, potentially longer if legal proceedings restricted asset transfers. The proposal did not seek additional DAO spending.
Separately, Binance said it would progressively restore withdrawals for more assets from 12:00 Beijing time on November 6, following security checks. The planned restoration covered assets across BSC, Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon and Arbitrum, among other networks. Deposits remained operational, while withdrawals could face temporary delays.
Binance and CZ subpoena Kevin O’Leary in FTX recovery litigation
Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, subpoenaed investor Kevin O’Leary for information in the FTX bankruptcy recovery case, according to Crypto Briefing, as cited by PANews.
FTX Recovery Trust and FTX Digital Markets filed the lawsuit in November 2024, seeking to recover at least $1.76 billion. They alleged that Binance’s July 2021 sale of its FTX stake back to FTX constituted a fraudulent transfer.
The report said the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware rejected Binance and Zhao’s motion to dismiss the core allegations in July 2026, and the case had entered discovery. That procedural decision was not a final determination of the allegations. O’Leary had testified in December 2022 that Binance deliberately caused FTX’s collapse.
Samsung Wallet expands US stablecoin access
Samsung Wallet launched stablecoin accounts for eligible Galaxy users in the United States, supporting USDC on Solana, according to Decrypt, as cited in the roundup. The service covered approximately 82 million compatible devices, but was not available in New York state at the time of reporting.
Built with custody provider Bastion and Coinbase, the service supported fee-free transfers and bank-account withdrawals in more than 60 countries. Credit-card funding carried a 4% fee. Samsung said it planned to explore additional stablecoin payment uses and markets.
Zilliqa announces a shift toward institutional Ethereum infrastructure
Zilliqa said it would transition from an independent Layer 1 network to an Ethereum Layer 2 aimed at regulated institutions, under the name Zilliqa Institutional Layer (ZIL).
The team said nine years of operating a standalone Layer 1 had not delivered the expected usage, capital or liquidity. It also cited recent security incidents as highlighting the cost of maintaining an independent chain.
The ZIL token would remain in place, and holders did not need to take action at the time of the announcement. Technical details were to be published in advance; any token exchange or migration would be communicated through official website announcements.
Paraguay report links banking disruption to USDT demand
Cointelegraph reported that Paraguay’s president resigned following the collapse of Ueno Bank and that USDT traded at a 13% premium in the local peer-to-peer market as residents sought access to dollars.
The PANews roundup did not provide further detail on the resignation or the scope of the bank’s collapse. These statements remain attributed to the cited report.
