Europe releases draft guidelines for blockchain data storage, comments close on June 9

The European Union's Data Protection Board has approved draft rules governing how personal data can be stored and shared on blockchains. The European Union's Data Protection Board (EDPB) said the new guidelines limit access to stored information and are in line with protections under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The EDPB approved the rules this month and opened them for public comment until June 9.

“Certain characteristics of blockchain may create challenges when meeting the requirements of the GDPR. The guidance emphasizes the need for data protection by design and by default, as well as adequate organizational and technical measures,” the new guidance states. “In general, the storage of personal data on a blockchain should be avoided if it conflicts with data protection principles,” the document adds.

The European Data Protection Board’s latest draft guidelines may make Bitcoin illegal in the EU, and the public consultation ends on June 9

Alexandre Stachtchenko, chief strategy officer of French crypto exchange Paymium, warned that the latest draft guidelines of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) may make Bitcoin illegal in the EU. The draft treats blockchain public keys as personal data and requires them to be deleted under certain conditions, but the characteristics of blockchain technology make the data immutable.

The EDPB explicitly stated that "technical impracticability cannot be used as a reason for non-compliance with the GDPR" and pointed out that if fine-grained data deletion cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to "delete the entire blockchain." Stachtchenko criticized this position as being out of touch with technical reality, and the anonymization scheme is not recognized by existing regulations. The public consultation period ends on June 9. If the draft is passed, Bitcoin may be deemed illegal because it cannot meet data deletion requirements.

Binance launches altcoin-only spot liquidity program for small market makers, qualification review will begin on June 9

Binance announced the launch of its first spot liquidity program for altcoins only, aiming to meet the market's demand for greater diversity. The new "Altcoin Liquidity Enhancement Program" aims to provide the most attractive altcoin market making rebates in the industry to attract small and medium-sized liquidity providers who want to focus on altcoin market making to supplement the exchange's existing liquidity programs. According to the program details, market makers only need to focus on altcoin trading pairs to participate, and are no longer required to participate in mainstream currencies such as Bitcoin. The plan sets two rebate tiers: market makers with a market share of 0.5% of the trading volume in the month can receive a rebate of 0.005%, and those with a market share of 1% can receive a rebate of 0.01%.

The first batch of supported trading pairs include INIT/USDT, EOS/USDT, HYPER/USDT, PARTI/USDT, ICP/USDT, KERNEL/USDT, CFX/USDT, W/USDT, KMNO/USDT, IOTX/USDT, ONDO/USDT, TON/USDT, FIL/USDT, WCT/USDT, BABY/USDT, SXT/USDT, SYRUP/USDT and STO/USDT. Catherine Chen, head of Binance VIP and institutional business, said that existing liquidity programs tend to favor large market makers, and the new program will help small and medium-sized market makers gain a competitive advantage in the altcoin market. Applicants must meet the threshold of more than $20 million in trading volume in the past 30 days and demonstrate a high-quality liquidity provision strategy. The qualification review for the program will begin on June 9, and the rebate distribution will officially start on June 17.
