<h2 id="header-0">This Week in Web3: Top Headlines</h2><h3 id="strong-nigerian-central-bank-official-testifies-against-binance-in-court-strong">Nigerian Central Bank Official Testifies Against Binance in Court</h3>Olubukola Akinwumi, a Deputy Director at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) last Friday testified against Binance, accusing the exchange of illegal financial transactions and money laundering worth $35.4 million, explaining that Binance allowed users to hide their identities and use Nigerian currency in ways that violated CBN rules. Though Binance has suspended its peer-to-peer feature in Nigeria, Akinwumi highlighted that the platform still lets users deposit and withdraw Naira, which is a regulated activity that Binance isn&#39;t licensed for. This is part of a broader crackdown on crypto in Nigeria, following the country&#39;s National Security Adviser calling crypto a security threat and recent demands by the Securities and Exchange Commission for crypto exchanges to re-register or face consequences.<h3 id="strong-house-set-to-revisit-controversial-sab-121-strong">House Set to Revisit Controversial SAB 121</h3>Next week, the U.S. House will revisit a controversial SEC rule, SAB 121, after President Biden vetoed its rollback in May. This rule mandates that firms holding cryptocurrency for customers must record these assets as liabilities, a move that has worried the crypto industry. The House needs a two-thirds majority to overturn Biden’s veto, a tough goal considering they need about 60 more votes. While some, like Alexander Grieve from Paradigm, think it’s possible due to past bipartisan support, others like Cody Carbone from the Chamber of Digital Commerce are skeptical, doubting they can sway enough members in time.<h3 id="strong-tron-founder-justin-sun-announces-revolutionary-gas-free-stablecoin-development-strong">Tron Founder Justin Sun Announces Revolutionary Gas-Free Stablecoin Development</h3>Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, shared exciting news on X about developing a new stablecoin that allows users to transfer funds without paying gas fees, as these fees will be covered by the stablecoin itself. Initially launching on the Tron blockchain and later expanding to Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains, the service is expected by Q4 this year. Sun believes this innovation will make it easier for large companies to use stablecoins, boosting blockchain adoption. While details on the gasless transfers are still under wraps, this stablecoin could rival PayPal&#39;s PYUSD and USDC transfers on Coinbase, both of which offer fee-free transactions in different ways. With USDC support on Tron recently dropped by Circle and Binance, Sun is motivated to make his native stablecoin a success.<h3 id="strong-prepare-for-the-pinnacle-gathering-of-the-year-strong">Prepare for the pinnacle gathering of the year!</h3>Money20/20 Europe, the home of the ecosystem, returns to invigorate your networking, supercharge your business and level-up your ROI opportunities.
