According to Bloomberg, citing informed sources, Binance announced in June plans to exit the European Union, and the market generally expected it to be forced out due to not obtaining a MiCA license. However, the July 1 deadline has passed, and Binance is still maintaining operations in the EU through various means.European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde personally intervened to push for Binance's application, which was not approved, and Binance has withdrawn its license application in Greece. Previously, users in six EU countries with local entities were asked to migrate away from the platform, and some users later regained trading access through "reverse solicitation" clauses. Binance has also routed some EU users' trades to its Abu Dhabi entity, which is under different regulations.Currently, the European Securities and Markets Authority has sent a letter requesting confirmation of its orderly exit progress. Binance stated that it is committed to achieving long-term compliant operations under the MiCA framework. Data shows that its global spot trading volume share exceeds 45%, with the euro-denominated trading share around 3% to 4%, which has not changed significantly from before.

According to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio has risen to 18.17, the highest level since January of this year. This means that one Bitcoin can now purchase just over 18 ounces of gold. The current Bitcoin price is approximately $81,000, which has not only increased in dollar terms but has also outperformed gold, a hard asset with a history of hundreds of years.The simultaneous rise of both assets stems from market concerns that governments may dilute debt through currency devaluation. With the exception of Switzerland, all major developed economies have a debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 100%, with the United States leading in terms of basic deficits. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Benset stated at the G20 finance ministers' meeting, "The world is awash in debt... The only way out of this predicament is growth."Bitcoin bull and SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci posted on X that Benset's remarks inadvertently promoted Bitcoin: "Benset stood in front of the G20 and said the world is awash in debt; that’s the entire selling point of Bitcoin. The 20 finance ministers just released the best Bitcoin advertisement of the year, even though they did not intend to." Bitcoin exists outside the traditional financial system and, unlike fiat currencies such as the dollar, yen, and euro, cannot be devalued by policy decisions.

OpenAI CEO Altman stated that the voluntary review conducted by the Trump administration on the company's upcoming Astra model is a "productive process," and he indicated that as artificial intelligence capabilities continue to improve, strengthening communication with government officials around the world will become increasingly important. The upcoming Astra model is the company's first to be rated with a "critical" cybersecurity capability level.OpenAI stated that such models require stricter safety measures during development and prior to release. The Trump administration has established a voluntary framework for reviewing certain advanced AI models before their release, which may include allowing government officials access to the model for up to 30 days. Altman confirmed that the Trump administration has reviewed Astra and noted that the process is voluntary in nature. He mentioned that as these models reach quite high levels of capability, close cooperation with security agencies in the U.S., the U.K., and other parts of the world will become increasingly important, and Astra is "an important step forward."

According to DIGITIMES, at the Semicon Network Summit 2026, industry representatives pointed out that the bottleneck in the silicon photonics industry has shifted from materials to packaging precision and heterogeneous integration. Marvell's CTO stated that copper interconnects are nearing their physical limits, and end-to-end optical interconnects are inevitable.TNO/Holst Centre pointed out that the real challenge for CPO is integrating optical materials such as LiNbO3 and InP with the CMOS platform. TSIA indicated that the packaging stage now requires micron-level fiber alignment precision, and Taiwan has a globally leading advantage in the chip and packaging fields. TNO further noted that panel-level packaging is a key opportunity for Taiwan, leveraging large-size glass substrate processing experience to support the large-scale demand for optical interconnects in data centers, but there are still technical gaps in equipment such as Chip-to-Wafer bonding. Marvell stated that its reliance on the Taiwanese supply chain for silicon photonic chips is increasing.

According to The Block, the Wyoming Stablecoin Committee announced the adoption of Chainlink Proof of Reserve to provide near real-time on-chain reserve verification for the state’s official stablecoin, Frontier Stable Token (FRNT). This follows the migration of cross-chain infrastructure from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP, further establishing it as the sole on-chain asset verification infrastructure.The auditing firm The Network Firm will review the reserves and token supply of FRNT according to the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The verification data will be recorded on-chain via Chainlink, reducing information gaps between reporting periods.The committee will also introduce the Chainlink Proof of Reserve Secure Mint mechanism, requiring that verified reserves must be no less than the total supply of FRNT for any minting to occur, in order to prevent risks associated with "unlimited minting." FRNT is fully backed by reserves of U.S. dollars and short-term U.S. Treasury securities, with related earnings used to diversify state finances and support local education funds.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said on Wednesday that the Trump administration is considering a new round of import tariffs on semiconductors, which could further increase taxes on foreign chips to attract more semiconductor manufacturing to the United States.However, these tariffs may be implemented alongside tax relief measures for investments in domestic manufacturing companies, following the approach previously taken by the Trump administration in the pharmaceutical industry.Raimondo stated, "This is the principle that the semiconductor industry should follow: If you produce in the U.S., we will give you tariff relief; if you do not produce in the U.S., you will pay tariffs. This is a very wise approach and it works."Trump had previously imposed a 25% tariff on some advanced semiconductors and ordered additional import tariffs on these chips in January of this year after the U.S. Department of Commerce completed relevant trade investigations. However, the scope of the new round of tariffs may expand from semiconductors themselves to products containing chips, thereby affecting imports of data center servers and consumer electronics.
