The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued long-anticipated guidance on Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining, offering regulatory clarity for miners across the United States.

The new statement introduces the concept of “Protocol Mining” and classifies the assets earned through PoW mechanisms as “Covered Crypto Assets.” The SEC emphasized that mining activity is fundamental to network operation and does not rely on the managerial efforts of others—a critical element in determining whether an activity qualifies as an investment contract under the Howey Test.

While the global regulatory landscape around cryptocurrencies continues to evolve, crypto’s role in money laundering remains persistent and sophisticated. A recent analysis of the Bybit hack illustrates how crypto mixers and cross-chain bridges are increasingly being used to conceal illicit funds, despite technological advances in blockchain tracing.

Bybit CEO Ben Zhou revealed that 88% of the stolen assets in the February 2025 hack are still traceable, but over 7.5% have “gone dark” — a troubling sign that obfuscation tools are still effective. Zhou pointed to Tornado Cash, Wasabi, Railgun, and Crypto Mixer as the primary platforms used for laundering the stolen assets, most of which were eventually funneled through peer-to-peer channels.

Ethereum’s available supply on centralized crypto exchanges has fallen to its lowest level since November 2015, according to new data from Santiment. As of March 21, only 8.97 million ETH remain on exchanges, highlighting a decade-long low in availability. The decline is primarily driven by staking and decentralized finance trends, as more users remove their assets from exchanges in favor of holding or locking them in DeFi protocols.

Despite this historically low supply, Ethereum’s price has not responded positively. Since its December high of $4,105, ETH has dropped nearly 47%, hitting $1,990 on March 21. This sharp drop places Ethereum among the worst-performing major crypto assets in early 2025.
