Hong Kong moves on Stablecoins.

Transparency or secrecy?

The transparency vs. secrecy battle continues.
Several UK-linked offshore jurisdictions like BVI and Bermuda missed deadlines for corporate transparency reforms. BVI even launched a cartoon mascot—”Riley Wright”—to promote integrity, drawing sharp criticism from UK MPs who called it a mockery of anti-money laundering efforts.

Strengthening of UAE

UAE Emerges as a Growing Offshore Hub. The United Arab Emirates is strengthening its position as a key player in global offshore activity. Recently, little-known UAE-based companies have acquired dozens of oil tankers, indicating increased involvement in international energy logistics. Additionally, a new fintech service targeting international investors has been launched, highlighting the UAE’s expanding role in global financial services.

Update on UK company registration regulations.

The UK is tightening regulations once again this year, with a particular focus on virtual address providers for local companies. These providers have already introduced additional verification requirements for company owners and directors. This autumn, mandatory verification practices will also extend to company registrations with Companies House. However, enhanced verification procedures for obtaining virtual offices are becoming a global trend, reflecting a broader push for increased transparency and compliance.

Black Friday Sales

According to various expert sources, more than half of all offers on 11.11, Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday sales are fake. The trend is not new – sellers often inflate the prices of their goods first, in order to indicate a more attractive discount later, but in the current difficult economic situation in the world, this has become commonplace. Experts recommend using special plugins to track price changes on online platforms, and in stores, do not rush to buy, having previously compared the price of the product you like with other offers on the Internet.
