- Trump to throw spotlight on overseas crypto abuses at White House event
President Donald Trump is set to highlight his administration's efforts to pursue overseas crypto criminals at a White House cybercrime event on Wednesday, according to an official. U.S. law enforcement has halted about $833 million in crypto tied to overseas scams, and 503 fraudulent crypto websites have been seized under the Homeland Security Task Force. Authorities have also informed almost 9,000 U.S. citizens that they are being victimized. The transnational criminal organizations behind these scams have stolen tens of billions of dollars from Americans, and the Treasury formed a multi-agency Scam Center Strike Force in November. Meanwhile, Trump's personal crypto ties may have become a political liability as the midterm elections approach in a couple of weeks.

- Musk's SpaceX-Tesla Merger Would Create a Bitcoin Treasury Behemoth
Elon Musk said the boards of SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees of independent directors to weigh a merger, while cautioning that a deal is not a certainty. Combined, the two would hold 30,221 BTC, worth roughly $2.5 billion at a Bitcoin price near $83,000, making it one of the largest non-mining corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Tesla reported 11,509 BTC in its latest quarterly filing, while SpaceX disclosed 18,712 BTC in its S-1 ahead of its June IPO, a stash largely invisible to public markets and more than double previous blockchain-tracker estimates. The combined cost basis is around $1 billion, implying an average buy price near $35,000 per coin. A merger would not change Bitcoin itself but would alter governance and accounting, placing the holdings in one public company subject to quarterly disclosures; neither company has signaled plans to buy or sell.

- Chainlink, Cardano, other blockchain groups push SEC for clearer crypto rules
Six major blockchain organizations, including Chainlink Labs, Cardano Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs and Stellar Development Foundation, urged the SEC in a joint letter dated Oct. 20 to formally classify digital commodities as non-securities. They argued that interpretive guidance alone leaves legal uncertainty, and that this classification should be written directly into the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework. The letter also asks for clarity on how securities laws apply to secondary-market transactions, as well as on staking and other activities tied to decentralized blockchain networks. The SEC's proposal, introduced in August, drew roughly 140 public comments over 60 days, and the consultation closed on Tuesday.
- Government to submit new resolution on wage policy to Central Committee
Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà said during a group discussion on the afternoon of Oct. 21 on laws covering labor, employment and social insurance that the Government is drafting a proposal to report to the Political Bureau. The proposal is expected to go to the Central Committee at its Fifth Plenum to issue a new resolution on wage and social insurance policy, replacing Resolutions No. 27-NQ/TW and No. 28-NQ/TW. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the current amendment to the Social Insurance Law mainly addresses immediate issues such as expanding coverage, while a more fundamental and comprehensive revision will follow the new resolution. For the Employment Law, the focus is cutting unnecessary licenses and reviewing rules on labor leasing, though simplifying procedures does not mean loosening management. Lawmakers also raised rules on depositing funds in joint-stock commercial banks with state capital, and the Government aims for safety, sustainability and timely payment of benefits.
