【Crypto World】A leading exchange recently rolled out a very practical feature update. They added a recurring automation option for payment tools and cryptocurrency withdrawals. In simple terms, set it once, and it will run automatically afterward.
For users who frequently transfer funds to other users within the exchange, they can now set up a recurring payment plan—supporting daily, weekly, monthly cycles. Transfers will be executed automatically, eliminating the need for manual operations each time. For users who need to withdraw regularly to wallets or on-chain addresses, the same logic applies—select the cycle, and the system will automatically send the coins on time, supporting withdrawals to internal exchange accounts as well as external on-chain addresses.
The more flexible part is that once set up, users can change their minds at any time. If they no longer want the plan, they can adjust the cycle or cancel it directly. For users accustomed to regular fixed-amount operations—such as periodic buying, reinvesting, or withdrawing to cold storage—this feature offers great convenience.

【Chain Wen】Libyan law enforcement agencies have recently stepped up crackdowns on cryptocurrency mining activities. In November 2025, prosecutors filed charges against nine individuals operating Bitcoin mining equipment at a steel plant in Zlitan. The court sentenced them to three years in prison and ordered the confiscation of equipment and the recovery of illegal gains. While this case seems severe, the legal logic behind it is worth pondering.
The Central Bank of Libya had already completely banned cryptocurrency trading in 2018 due to concerns over money laundering and terrorist financing risks. However, mining operations have continued underground over the years. The question arises—are these miners criminally liable because of mining itself, or because of other issues associated with mining?
Legal expert Nadia Mohammed provided an answer: Libya's current laws do not explicitly classify mining itself as a crime. Miners are brought to court not usually because of their act of mining Bitcoin, but because of other violations that accompany it.
