China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange said it held a video conference on work plans for the second half of 2026, laying out key foreign exchange management priorities for the period. According to the meeting readout carried by Odaily, the regulator said it will strengthen and improve oversight in the foreign exchange sector and push forward revisions to the Regulations on Foreign Exchange Administration. The agenda also called for improving supervisory capacity by applying new technologies including artificial intelligence and big data to foreign exchange oversight. At the same time, authorities said they will step up supervision of trading behavior in the foreign exchange market and keep intense pressure on illegal cross-border financial activities. Beyond enforcement, SAFE said it will strengthen its foreign exchange reserve operation and management capabilities, raise the professional level of reserve management, improve overall foreign exchange administration, advance the balance of payments statistical system, deepen the construction of “digital foreign exchange administration” and “secure foreign exchange administration,” and accelerate practical exploration of “smart foreign exchange administration” use cases.

Safe posted a record transaction count in the second quarter, according to its latest report cited by The Block and relayed by BlockBeats on July 29. The crypto wallet protocol said it processed nearly 130 million transactions during the quarter, while total accounts created topped 63 million, up 20% year over year. The report also said roughly $1 of every $48 in global stablecoin supply is held in Safe. Revenue moved in the opposite direction. Safe reported about $1.98 million in revenue for the quarter, down from $2.88 million in the first quarter, a decline of more than 30% on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The report said the drop may be tied to pressure on crypto prices. Most of Safe’s transaction volume in the quarter came from consumer applications on World Chain and Polygon. World App accounted for 52% of activity, while Polymarket made up 35.7%. The report also gave an update on Safenet, Safe’s onchain security network launched in beta in April. By the end of the quarter, Safenet had handled 456,000 transaction checks, secured by staked SAFE tokens. Current staking stands at about 54.8 million SAFE.
