Berkshire CEO: Plans to hold long-term stakes in Japan's five major trading companies, AI data centers bring energy opportunities

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel stated in an interview with CNBC that the company plans to hold its stakes in Japan's five major trading companies as a long-term investment, expecting to hold them for decades. Currently, Berkshire holds over 10% of shares in each of the five major trading companies and is continuously exploring other cooperation opportunities in Japan and overseas with these enterprises. Abel also mentioned that despite the 10-year Japanese government bond yield rising to about 3%, the five major trading companies do not view the rise in interest rates as a fundamental challenge, and Berkshire still plans to issue yen bonds as needed.Regarding AI investments, Abel stated that the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the practical applications of AI by Berkshire's subsidiaries are among the important reasons for the company's optimism about Alphabet. On the construction of AI data centers, he believes that energy supply and related infrastructure development remain major constraints, which also presents significant opportunities for Berkshire and Berkshire Energy. Abel pointed out that the company is willing to provide energy services for large tech companies' data centers, but on the condition that it does not harm the interests of other customers and should bring net benefits to the local community.In terms of the U.S. housing market, Abel stated that Berkshire takes a long-term view of the housing industry, believing that the "American Dream" will continue, but there will not be a rapid recovery in the short term, and the industry may still face fluctuations for some time. Regarding the overall economy, he noted that most of Berkshire's large businesses performed strongly as of the second quarter, with demand still robust, but American consumers are under significant pressure and need to be more cautious in managing their income; overall, the economic fundamentals that Berkshire currently sees remain "very strong."

The risk of "exit difficulty" in the South Korean cryptocurrency market emerges: nearly 30% of assets among the five major exchanges can only be traded on one

According to South Korean media Daum, an analysis of the five major Korean won exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX, as well as the public API of CoinGecko, found that after excluding duplicate assets, the five exchanges collectively support approximately 606 types of crypto assets. Among them, 164 types (27.1%) are only available for trading on one exchange, and another 324 types (53.5%) are traded on two or fewer exchanges.Among the assets supported by a single exchange, Coinone has the most, with 55 types; Bithumb has 54 types, GOPAX has 25 types, Upbit has 16 types, and Korbit has 14 types. In terms of liquidity, the median trading volume of these 164 assets in nearly 24 hours is only about 1.37 million won, with 79 types having a trading volume of less than 1 million won, and 38 types even having zero transactions.The analysis suggests that listing on a single exchange does not inherently mean that the asset carries risk. If the relevant assets are actively traded on overseas exchanges or support smooth withdrawals, investors still have other exit channels. However, for assets with low overseas trading volume and restricted deposit and withdrawal networks, once support is terminated, investors may face difficulties in both selling and transferring.

The Ethena Foundation announced four major adjustments to the ecosystem: repurchasing ENA and canceling monthly VC unlocks

According to official news, the Ethena Foundation announced four adjustments to the Ethena ecosystem, including repurchasing locked tokens held by early investors, further aligning the value of tokens with equity, launching a governance proposal for income to repurchase ENA, and canceling future monthly unlocks for VC investors.The Ethena Foundation stated that it has completed the acquisition of all locked ENA tokens from some major seed round investors who had sold ENA in the past 9 months. Regarding the alignment of token and equity value, the Ethena Foundation and Ethena Labs have reached a "Master Framework Agreement," which stipulates that the intellectual property and value generated by the agreement will exclusively belong to the foundation and be governed by ENA holders, while equity investors in Labs entities will no longer enjoy residual cash flow.In addition, the governance proposal for income to repurchase ENA has been launched. According to the proposal, the net income generated by all business lines under the Ethena brand will be used for programmatic repurchase of ENA, and the proposal has been approved by the Risk Committee. The Ethena Foundation also stated that it has reached an agreement with major investors to eliminate the selling pressure caused by future monthly unlocks for VC investors by releasing unallocated tokens. Team tokens will still remain locked according to the original allocation plan.
