YBUOJ Responds to BaFin Announcement, Reaffirms Compliance Credentials and Global Regulatory Commitment
COLORADO, USA - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 July 2025 - YBUOJ has issued an official response to a recent notice from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority of Germany (BaFin), which alleged that the platform was offering crypto asset services in Germany without the necessary authorization. In its statement, YBUOJ firmly reaffirmed its commitment to regulatory compliance, emphasizing that it operates under a robust legal framework and actively seeks licenses across global jurisdictions. YBUOJ currently holds a U.S. Money Services Business (MSB) license issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and is also registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These federal-level credentials confirm the lawful status and adherence of YBUOJ to high compliance standards. YBUOJ emphasizes that its possession of an MSB license and SEC registration signifies its adherence to strict compliance standards, with trading activities subject to oversight by authoritative regulators. This indicates that YBUOJ operates not only legally and compliantly in the U.S. market, but also meets high standards in terms of operational transparency and security. The BaFin announcement to jurisdictional differences in how licensing of foreign entities is interpreted. YBUOJ clarified that it is headquartered in the United States and does not maintain a legal entity in Germany. As such, it is regulated under U.S. law and aligned with internationally recognized compliance norms. The notice, YBUOJ suggested, likely stems from a regulatory communication gap rather than a breach of German financial law. Drawing a broader parallel, YBUOJ pointed to similar cases involving major exchanges like Binance, which faces varying degrees of regulatory acceptance across markets despite holding valid licenses elsewhere. Such discrepancies are common in the fragmented global crypto regulatory landscape. In its response, YBUOJ reaffirmed its commitment to compliance and welcomed regulatory guidance. It pledged full cooperation with German authorities to clarify the facts, stressing that the notice of BaFin relates only to licensing declarations and does not affect operations or asset security. YBUOJ clarified that the announcement of BaFin was a routine consumer advisory, not a penalty, and urged rational interpretation. European users can continue accessing the platform and trading as usual. YBUOJ will use this opportunity to enhance communication with regulators in Germany and other regions, maintaining its commitment to compliant, reliable global digital asset services.

Egypt: President El-Sisi Reviews Progress of Transport, Industry, and Infrastructure Projects
Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Transport and Industry Lieutenant General Kamel El-Wazir, and Presidential Advisor for Financial Affairs Lieutenant General Ahmed El-Shazly. The Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shenawy, said President El-Sisi was briefed during the meeting on the implementation status of projects under the Ministry of Transport and Industry, particularly those related to the railway system. This included Al-Arish –Taba railway line and the completion of Bir El-Abd–Al-Arish railway line projects that are expected to contribute significantly to the development of the Sinai Peninsula and to the establishment of a logistical corridor linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The meeting also addressed updates on the development of seaports, given their pivotal role in the national development agenda. In this regard, the implementation progress of several key ports was reviewed, including Ras Sedr Port, Gargoub Port, Abu Qir Port, the Grand Port of Alexandria, the new El-Max Port, the continued development of Sokhna Port, the establishment of Taba Seaport, and ongoing development at Damietta Port. The meeting further covered the progress in constructing the fourth metro line in Cairo and the high-speed electric train project. Additionally, efforts to develop and enhance industrial zones in Wadi Al-Saririya and Al-Motahhara in Minya Governorate, and northern Fayoum in Fayoum Governorate, were discussed. These initiatives fall within the broader framework of promoting industrial development in Upper Egypt and creating more job opportunities for local residents, especially in labor-intensive industries such as textiles and ready-made garments. President El-Sisi emphasized the need to complete all projects according to their specified timelines. The President gave directives to continue efforts to accelerate the implementation of integrated developmental logistical corridors that link production areas to the developing seaports, transforming them into world-class, high-capacity hubs. This integration with Egypt's modern transportation network including roads, highways, and railways is vital for positioning Egypt as a global center for trade and logistics.
