Drilling by Canada’s Soma Gold (TSXV: SOMA) at its Cordero mine in central Colombia returned a highlight result of 7.5 grams per tonne gold over six metres. That intercept, from 176.6 metres depth in hole RVICDDH-25-040, also cut 10.2 grams per tonne silver, Soma said Wednesday in a statement. Another hole, RVICDDH-25-042, returned 6.7 grams gold and 9.9 grams silver over 2.6 metres from 169 metres downhole. The results from the so-called Venus Gap zone extend the dip of the vein by about 135 metres, the company said. Cordero is part of a 410-sq.-km property located next to Aris Mining’s (TSX: ARIS) Segovia deposit. “Drilling in the Venus Gap zone continues to…

Perth-based cybersecurity specialist Matt Breuillac of Cyber Node Perth-based ethical hacker – or ‘white hat’ – is warning that some miners, mining contractors and energy companies and their service providers are currently easy to hack and they should be testing their protections against cyber-attack more rigorously. Originally from France, Breuillac has worked as a chemical engineer in the nuclear industry as well as supervised the emergency procedures for uranium mines in Kazakhstan. “Some mining companies (particularly tier two and tier three miners in Australia) are woefully unprepared in their cyber-security protections and many are a decade behind Europe…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for September 19 Today’s story was one of cautious optimism for global trade, as both Washington and Beijing struck a more constructive tone. President Trump described the talks with Xi Jinping as “positive and constructive,” while adding that progress had been made on “several important issues.” That shift in rhetoric provided a relief bid across risk assets, even as broader market themes remained volatile. And despite all the classic diplomatic talk, Markets are still awaiting for actual concrete news but for now, we will content with the current words from Xi and Trump which don't sound too pessimistic overall. …

Bitcoin’s latest pullback has little to do with crypto-native flows and everything to do with the dollar, according to chief crypto analyst at Real Vision Jamie Coutts. Sharing two charts on X, Coutts argued that a rebound in the US Dollar Index (DXY) is briefly tightening global liquidity and pressuring risk assets across the board. “Bitcoin’s dip isn’t mysterious — it’s macro,” he wrote. Why Is Bitcoin Down? “The dollar’s rebound is tightening global liquidity. DXY is retesting 100–101 — a key resistance and natural mean-reversion zone after one of the sharpest declines in decades in 1H25. Positioning had become crowded on the short side, so a bounce was always likely…

In its first governance proposal, the Sonic crypto protocol is seeking approval to launch Sonic USA, a Delaware-registered entity tasked with bridging decentralized liquidity into the heart of U.S. capital markets.

The presidential election in South Korea is shaping up to be bullish for crypto, with both leading candidates waving the pro-crypto flag. This is good news for cryptocurrencies and crypto wallets alike. It’s been six months of political turmoil since South Korea’s parliament voted to impeach former President Yoon Suk Yeol following his attempt to impose martial law in December last year. Just two weeks later, Yoon’s replacement – acting-President Han Duck-soo – was also impeached. Tomorrow, however, voters will head to the polls to decide whether frontrunner Lee Jae-myung (Democratic Party) or his main rival Kim Moon-soo (People Power Party) will be the next president o…

South Korea is lifting crypto restrictions for venture companies on September 16, giving them easier access to financing avenues and tax breaks. According to the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS), the measure comes in response to the growing global trust in the crypto sphere, combined with advancements in the user protection department. The decision comes seven years after the country restricted crypto in October 2018, amidst concerns about speculation influencing the market and the lack of proper investor security. The shift marks a long-awaited move that could bring South Korea at the forefront of crypto adoption, which could rally projects like Pepenode (…

Increased market penetration and adoption of stablecoins have put a damper on the South Korean CBDC plans. The country has applied brakes on its CBDC trial program that had been ongoing since April this year in the wake of stablecoin’s resurgence amidst political backing. The Bank of Korea (BoK) confirmed the current state of affairs in a statement given to Bloomberg on 30 June 2025, through a representative. Also, a senior representative of one of the seven banks participating in the South Korean CBDC trials informed a local publication that the central bank is holding back until it sees the government’s stablecoin strategy and how CBDCs might integrate with it. Newly…

South Korea pressed pause on its central bank digital currency (CBDC) initiative, even as its new government pivoted toward promoting domestic stablecoins. Telling banks involved that introducing won-denominated stablecoins would be ‘desirable,’ South Korea’s central bank has slowed down on any progress towards a CBDC. In the meantime, Hong Kong is rolling out a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuance aimed at challenging U.S. dollar dominance and bolstering its own financial infrastructure. Both countries reinforce a common perception: crypto is here to stay, and you’ll need a top-notch crypto wallet like Best Wallet app to keep on top of everything. South Korea:…

South Korea is taking a fresh look at how it handles sanctions against North Korea after the United States imposed penalties on individuals and entities linked to the regime’s crypto operations. The U.S. Treasury recently hit eight people and two organizations for laundering digital assets that allegedly support Pyongyang’s weapons program. The Chain Reaction Starts in Washington It all began when U.S. officials exposed a network of North Korean actors accused of funneling stolen crypto through laundering operations. The money, traced back to hacks and ransomware attacks, is believed to fund the country’s missile and nuclear development. Source: Shutterstock In respons…

South Korea is serious about its anti-money laundering laws, and as such, the Korean Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is all set to sanction crypto exchanges that are not following the protocols to the T. According to the regulatory body, not clamping down on companies that don’t follow protocols hurts the integrity of the country’s growing crypto market, which has gained political momentum in recent times. As of this moment, the FIU has already taken action against Dunamu, the parent company behind Upbit, Korea’s largest crypto exchange, recently acquired by Naver. Furthermore, it has inspected other big names, including Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX, to see if …

To curb foreign crypto exposure, South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has urged local asset managers to limit ETF holdings in stocks like Coinbase and Strategy. As per a local publication’s report published on 23 July 2025, the FSS stated through its directive that the involved parties must adhere to the 2017 administrative guideline on virtual currencies, which remains in effect. An FSS official was quoted by the publication stating, “Recently, there has been a trend of deregulation related to virtual assets in the U.S. and Korea, but there have been no specific laws or guidelines established yet.” “This means that existing guidelines should be followed u…

A group of South Korea’s top commercial banks is taking a major step toward launching a stablecoin tied to the Korean won. A consortium including KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Woori, Nonghyup, Industrial Bank of Korea, Suhyup, Citi Korea, and Standard Chartered Korea is leading the plan. Their goal is to bring a bank-issued digital won to market by the end of 2025 or early 2026. The idea behind this collaboration is to offer an alternative to the rising dominance of dollar-based stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Traders and users across South Korea’s crypto ecosystem have widely used these foreign assets, often to fill gaps in payments and trading. But with nearly 57 trillion won …

South Korea’s two largest political parties have taken center stage, unveiling rival stablecoin bills in the country. The prohibition of interest payments on stablecoins has become the most contentious issue in the stablecoin bills. Lawmakers from both the ruling Democratic Party (DP) and the opposition People Power Party (PPP) introduced legislation in late July 2025 that could pave the way for won-backed stablecoins. According to local news report published on 28 July 2025, “the ruling party believes that interest payments should be banned to prevent market disruption, while the opposition party believes that it is necessary to increase the competitiveness of won s…

The South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) has ordered Korean crypto exchanges to stop lending with immediate effect. This move comes in as the financial authority attempts to control some of the risky lending practices in its digital asset sector. On 19 August 2025, the financial regulatory body confirmed this news and formally issued administrative guidance requiring crypto exchanges to cease all lending operations involving fiat or crypto collateral. The guidance will remain in effect till a framework is in place.
