ChainCatcher message: Russia’s central bank governor Elvira Nabiullina said that Bill 1194918-8 distinguishes between accredited investors and non-accredited investors and is not only applicable to the cryptocurrency space, but rather a common arrangement in regulation. Elvira Nabiullina said that the range of activities available to non-accredited investors is narrower because the government protects them through legislation so they are not forced to take risks they do not understand.
She noted that the relevant measures also cover the crypto ecosystem, for reasons including volatility in the crypto market and the possibility that overseas digital assets could be seized due to alleged links to Russia. Bill 1194918-8 is expected to take effect on September 1 and be implemented in parallel with the launch of the digital ruble. The bill stipulates that non-accredited investors’ purchase limit for cryptocurrencies is 300,000 rubles, about $3,800, while accredited investors’ limit is 10 times that amount.

Abraxas Capital is a name that feels both familiar and unfamiliar.
Yes, because it often appears in reports about on-chain detection accounts. Once, it moved tens of thousands of ETH; another time, a funds redemption directly drained liquidity. These actions are easy to notice.
Unfamiliar, because this institution hardly manages a public presence. It has no confirmable X account, and no employees post opinions on Twitter. Most people come to know them through labels attached next to addresses on on-chain data platforms.
From TradFi to Crypto
Abraxas’ starting point was traditional finance. Both founders, Fabio Frontini and Luca Celati, previously worked at Deutsche Kleinwort Wasserstein Bank. In 2002, the two founded Abraxas Capital Management in London, initially focusing on global macro trading. In 2017, the company shifted its focus to digital assets.

ChainCatcher message: Ethereum staking protocol Lido, in a post on the X platform, said that the stETH rebase has been completed as expected and that it has also topped up the ETH yield that was omitted due to insufficient calculations. The corresponding annual percentage rate (APR) is approximately 2.29%. In addition, the protocol’s oracle has been updated and passed an audit. The new version will improve report-processing speed and help identify the root cause faster if similar issues occur in the future.
Regarding the observed anomalies in yield calculations, Lido stated that contributors are still conducting root-cause analysis. More investigation details will be published in the official forum and on social media platforms later. Throughout the entire incident, users’ funds have never been at risk. At this preliminary stage, Lido believes the issue may stem from a specific edge case: the yield report omitted a validator that was in a pending deposit state, resulting in some staking rewards not being included in the calculations. Lido said that a complete incident post-mortem report will be released in the coming days to further explain the cause, the remediation measures, and follow-up improvement plans.
