The Bank of Korea (BOK) has launched the first 24-hour Korean won settlement network pilot, aimed at allowing foreign investors to settle won transactions outside of normal banking hours in South Korea. The central bank announced on Monday that its international wire transfer network has begun trial operations with four domestic banks: KB Kookmin Bank, Woori Bank, Hana Bank, and Shinhan Bank. Full operations are expected to start in January 2027, at which point participation will expand to other institutions and foreign banks.The network operates 24 hours a day on weekdays, excluding weekends and public holidays. Foreign investors can settle won transactions during their domestic business hours by registering a Foreign Institution (RFI-K) account for won services, without the need to open an account directly with a South Korean financial institution. The Bank of Korea stated that the network is expected to enhance the international status of the won by improving foreign investors' access to won settlement infrastructure.In addition, the Bank of Korea is also experimenting with tokenized settlement infrastructure through the Agorá project led by the Bank for International Settlements, which completed a cross-border payment trial using tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits, including the won, in July. The Bank of Korea is simultaneously advancing the Hangang project, a blockchain-based pilot that utilizes wholesale central bank digital currency to settle tokenized commercial bank deposits.

South Korean investors are once again pushing to delay the cryptocurrency capital gains tax scheduled to be implemented on January 1, 2027, but regulators insist on proceeding as planned. According to the South Korean National Assembly's electronic petition system, a petition requesting a two-year delay of the crypto tax plan has garnered 50,000 valid signatures, reaching the legislative review threshold, and will be automatically submitted for consideration by the relevant standing committee.South Korea plans to impose a 22% tax (including a 20% basic tax rate and a 2% local tax) on the portion of annual income from digital assets exceeding 2.5 million Korean won (approximately $1,856), covering income from the sale, transfer, and lending of cryptocurrency assets. This tax has been postponed three times since it was first discussed in 2022. Petitioners argue that the majority of crypto investors are suffering significant losses, with major South Korean crypto companies experiencing a decline in operating profits of up to 90%. Implementing the tax at this time would kick young people's wealth ladder away and could push investors toward offshore platforms.In May of this year, a petition calling for the abolition of the crypto tax reached the 50,000 signature threshold within eight days of submission but did not advance further. Meanwhile, the government's stance remains firm, with the nominee for the Minister of Economy and Finance, Lee Heung-ik (phonetic), stating last weekend that the crypto tax plan is proceeding as scheduled, and the National Tax Service will announce detailed tax standards later this year.

Strategy publicly released the "Bitcoin Investor Guide," compiled by its team, with a revision date of September 7, 2026, and market data as of September 4. The guide is aimed at professional investors, private investors, bankers, advisors, and capital allocators, systematically elaborating on Bitcoin's monetary attributes, investment logic, market structure, portfolio role, custody methods, and risks. The core viewpoint asserts that Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset but is becoming the foundation of a new type of digital capital market—a scarce, open, global reserve asset. The long-term logic is based on scarcity, open access, global liquidity, and independent verification, and it may absorb some of the monetary premiums currently attached to gold, real estate, stocks, bonds, and artworks.Key data snapshot (as of September 4, 2026): Bitcoin price is approximately $79,809, the 200-week moving average is about $64,715 (premium of approximately 23.3%); 1-year return is approximately -28.3%, and 10-year annualized return is about 62.8%; 30-day average trading volume is around $28.3 billion, and open interest is about $96 billion; spot ETFs hold approximately 1.27 million BTC, and the total network hash rate is about 935 EH/s. The guide emphasizes Bitcoin's positioning as "digital capital": a maximum supply cap of 21 million coins, no issuer, no expiration date, no contractual cash flows, with value primarily determined by scarcity and the monetary premium assigned by the market. It can be held directly, transferred globally, and independently verified. After the U.S. SEC approves the spot Bitcoin ETP in January 2024, institutional access has significantly increased, and the infrastructure for futures, options, and custody continues to mature. In terms of risk warnings, the guide points out Bitcoin's high volatility, lack of repayment commitments, and the potential for significant price declines; self-custody and third-party custody, ETPs, corporate securities, and derivatives all carry different legal, operational, and counterparty risks; transactions are irreversible, and loss of keys can lead to permanent loss. Strategy, as a publicly listed company with significant Bitcoin holdings, has a vested interest in Bitcoin prices. The document clearly states that it is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Silicon Valley angel investor Liron Shapira posted on X this morning, stating: "I assert (with 50% confidence): due to AI shaking the security and stability guarantees that people once believed Bitcoin had, the price of BTC will plummet more than 50% within the next two years."Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rebutted this, saying: "I hold the completely opposite view. My fundamental reason is that, in the long run, I am quite optimistic about network security, and I believe the main challenge is how to smoothly transition through the transition period. Moreover, I believe BTC can at least properly handle all issues that do not require social consensus to resolve (for example, upgrading clients, mining pools, etc., to deal with network layer attacks fall into this category). Additionally, I believe the probability of hash algorithms or proof-of-work mechanisms being truly compromised is extremely low. I wanted to make a bet with you, but considering my current asset allocation (I guess you have the same view on Ethereum ETH), I have already staked about 90% of my wealth on this bet."

Arbitrum co-founder Steven Goldfeder stated that there is a misunderstanding in the market regarding the supply of ARB, often including the tokens held by the DAO in the locked supply.He pointed out that the token unlock for ARB investors and team members is nearing completion and will be fully unlocked by March next year. Currently, the portion of tokens that have not yet been unlocked accounts for approximately 7.7% of the total supply.The Arbitrum DAO treasury currently holds 2.84 billion ARB, but these tokens are not traditional locked tokens; they are controlled by circulating token holders, and their transfer must be approved by a vote from other token holders.
