The regulated operator responsible for the registration, securities custody, and settlement system of the Brazilian financial market, CSD BR, has begun to record the ownership of shares in certain investment funds under BTG Pactual, mirroring them to the public XRP Ledger. CSD BR manages registered assets exceeding 22 trillion Brazilian Reais, approximately 4 trillion US dollars. Its existing database still serves as the official record for registration, custody, and settlement, and the relevant assets have not been transferred to the XRP Ledger; fund shares will be presented in token form on the XRPL.This blockchain copy aims to allow approved banks and institutions to verify ownership changes in real-time, replacing post-reconciliation, reducing the slow and costly verification process, while retaining identity checks and regulatory controls. Anyone can read the token circulation on the XRPL, but CSD BR still controls who has the right to hold and transfer these tokens. The tokens adopt the multi-purpose token standard of the XRP Ledger, allowing issuers to restrict participants and freeze assets or revoke transactions upon regulatory or court requests, while participants still need to pass identity and anti-money laundering checks.The project starts with real fund records, distinguishing it from previous pilots that used test assets or closed networks. CSD BR was established in 2018 and is authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and the securities regulatory authority. After becoming familiar with the mirroring system, CSD BR and Ripple plan to test the direct issuance of assets on the XRP Ledger and allow approved participants to trade, with potential targets including Brazilian real estate receivables and agricultural receivables.

The Illinois Department of Revenue has released the legislative draft details of a 0.2% digital asset transaction tax, clarifying that stablecoins will be considered taxable digital assets, while non-fungible tokens are not subject to taxation. The draft stipulates that DeFi transactions are generally exempt; however, fees paid by users that are deemed "valuable consideration," such as protocol fees for operating or maintaining the platform, may trigger taxation.Only network fees and exchange fees paid to liquidity providers do not trigger this tax. Cross-chain bridging conducted through digital asset brokers and paid with consideration will be regarded as taxable exchange activities. If centralized exchanges charge fees when transferring to self-custody wallets, it may also be subject to taxation. This tax law was approved in June and is set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The Illinois Department of Revenue is seeking public comments on the draft, with a deadline of October 30.

According to a report by the Financial Associated Press citing local media on September 29, Samsung Electronics Executive Vice President Kim Taewoo stated that HBM is expected to account for nearly 30% of the total wafer capacity of DRAM manufacturers next year, up from the current ratio of about 20%. He mentioned that HBM competes with traditional DRAM for the same batch of wafer capacity, and increasing HBM output may squeeze the supply of traditional DRAM.TrendForce previously predicted that by the end of 2027, the HBM wafer input from the three major global HBM suppliers will account for about 30% of the total DRAM wafer input, but in terms of storage capacity, it will only contribute about 13% of the total DRAM supply. Additionally, according to media reports on September 20, Samsung began mass production and shipment of HBM4 in February this year and provided 12-layer HBM4E samples to customers including NVIDIA in May; the industry expects Samsung's monthly wafer input for HBM to increase from about 180,000 wafers this year to about 250,000 wafers next year.On the same day, TrendForce stated that the demand for AI servers continues, and HBM and general DRAM will still share limited advanced process capacity. The storage supply will remain tight in 2027, and the price expectations for HBM in 2027 have been raised, with an expected year-on-year increase of 121% in the mixed average selling price. Due to limited supply and rising system costs, 8-layer HBM is expected to become a priority evaluation option for several manufacturers in 2027, with its price per Gb expected to be about 10% to 20% higher than that of 12-layer products.
