The Global Head of Investor Solutions at BNY stated that this issuance marks the transition of tokenization from concept to real application, as regulated fund structures evolve towards a more digital and interconnected market.

According to NBC, citing a statement from Alan Greenspan's wife, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan passed away on June 22 at the age of 100.Greenspan was one of the longest-serving Federal Reserve Chairmen in U.S. history, having led the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006 for a total of 18 years, spanning the presidencies of Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. He was known for combating inflation and maintaining financial stability, and he dominated a decade-long economic expansion in the 1990s, being hailed by the market as the "Maestro" of the economy.However, Greenspan's historical evaluation is quite controversial. His long-standing advocacy for financial deregulation and maintaining low interest rate policies has been deemed by many economists as one of the key roots that led to the 2008 global financial crisis. At that time, the U.S. housing bubble burst, and the subprime mortgage crisis erupted, triggering a global financial tsunami. Greenspan himself rarely admitted during a 2008 congressional hearing that his belief in market self-regulation had "flaws," a statement that shocked Wall Street.Greenspan's passing marks the end of an era for a figure who shaped the modern global financial system.

According to the Nikkei Asia report, the Japanese government recently announced plans to achieve over 370 trillion yen (approximately 15.59 trillion yuan) in public-private joint investment in 17 strategic areas by fiscal year 2040. Among these, approximately 10.5 trillion yen (about 442.3 billion yuan) will be specifically allocated to the field of physical AI.It is reported that the Japanese government expects physical AI technology to play a key role in scenarios such as industrial automation, unmanned transportation, and infrastructure inspections, to alleviate the labor shortage caused by the intensifying aging population and the imbalance between labor supply and demand, thereby comprehensively enhancing productivity. In addition, to mitigate the potential risks of high-performance artificial intelligence, Japan also announced a new AI policy draft last week, planning to further strengthen relevant threat control and safety assessment mechanisms.

About 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprises have joined the Japan National Business Enterprise Pension Fund (located in Okayama City), which plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in the fiscal year 2026. There have been some cases of Japanese companies investing in crypto assets, but it is still relatively rare for domestic pension funds to participate directly in crypto investments.The fund plans to allocate about 1% of its total assets to cryptocurrencies and will do so indirectly by investing in passive funds managed by large hedge funds that include various crypto assets. In terms of asset allocation, its structure for the fiscal year 2025 is: 80% yen, 15% US dollars, and 5% other currencies. In the fiscal year 2026, it plans to adjust to: a reduction of yen to 70%, an addition of 10% allocation to developed country currencies, and the remaining 5% allocated to emerging market currencies, gold, and crypto assets.The main purpose of this adjustment is to diversify exchange rate risk. The fund's executive director, Ai Kuchi, stated that the status of the US dollar as a global benchmark currency may be weakening, which is why they decided to reduce their holdings in US dollars. At the same time, he pointed out that the correlation between Bitcoin and the US dollar index is almost zero, making it a tool for hedging against currency depreciation risk and enhancing the portfolio's ability to withstand inflation.

According to an analysis by Tommy, there is a significant gap in valuation and revenue conversion for Chinese open-source AI companies, with their price-to-sales ratio (P/S) far exceeding that of leading counterparts in the United States.Data shows that Zhipu, which developed the GLM 5.2 model, currently has a market value of approximately $137 billion, but its revenue for the fiscal year 2025 is about $107 million, resulting in a price-to-sales ratio as high as 1280 times; MiniMax has a market value of about $23 billion, with a price-to-sales ratio of approximately 290 times. In contrast, the valuations of leading AI laboratories in the United States are more solid, with OpenAI (valued at about $852 billion) and Anthropic (valued at about $965 billion) having price-to-sales ratios of only 34 times and 21 times, respectively.It is believed that due to overseas users' concerns about data privacy, they are unwilling to send data directly to China, resulting in the massive demand for Chinese AI companies not being converted into actual API revenue, leading to significant profit loss to overseas third-party inference service providers (such as OpenRouter, etc.). To support their current high valuations, Chinese AI companies urgently need to prove their data non-retention mechanisms and capture the market at low prices, or explore revenue-sharing and initial licensing collaborations with overseas inference platforms to expand their actual revenue scale.

According to Digital Asset, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of South Korea proposed at the FATF plenary meeting to expand the applicability of the virtual asset Travel Rule to small transactions and suggested implementing transaction restrictions on high-risk unregistered virtual asset service providers.The South Korean delegation emphasized that as the money laundering risks associated with cross-border digital asset transactions increase, member countries should apply the Travel Rule to both sending and receiving VASPs and expand its applicability to small transactions. In response to the increasing cases of criminal organizations utilizing overseas and unregistered VASPs, South Korea recommended strengthening customer identification obligations and considering transaction restrictions on high-risk unregistered VASPs.The FIU had previously advanced similar regulatory measures in the amendment to the enforcement decree of the Specific Financial Information Act, which is planned to be implemented in August, expanding the applicability of the Travel Rule from transactions over 1 million won to those under 1 million won.
