According to CoinDesk, a survey by financial technology service provider Broadridge of 200 North American financial services executives shows that 84% of the responding institutions believe that tokenization is of significant importance to their business, indicating that Wall Street is transitioning from the experimental phase of blockchain to preparing for the integration of tokenized assets into everyday market infrastructure.The survey reveals that 68% of respondents believe that tokenization will partially reshape financial markets in the next 3 to 5 years, with nearly one-third of institutions planning to increase their investment in tokenization projects by 26% to 50% or more over the next 2 years.

According to The Block, U.S. regulators failed to issue the final rules necessary to implement the federal stablecoin framework within the one-year deadline set by the GENIUS Act. This act was signed into law by Trump on July 18, 2025, requiring the OCC, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the NCUA, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and state stablecoin regulatory agencies to complete the supporting rulemaking by no later than July 18, 2026.As of the afternoon of July 18 local time, the main rule proposals released by the OCC, FDIC, NCUA, and the Treasury remain in the proposal stage, with some rules related to the Federal Reserve and anti-money laundering regulation still open for public comment. The report notes that the act does not stipulate that missing the deadline will automatically extend it, nor does it suspend the relevant statutory requirements or delay the overall framework's effectiveness.Among them, the OCC's comprehensive implementation proposal covers reserve assets, capital, liquidity, custody, risk control, and reporting requirements; the FDIC's proposal involves reserves, redemption, custody, and the deposit insurance treatment of stablecoin reserves; the NCUA proposed licensing and operational risk control plans in February and May, respectively, but the comment period for the latter only ended the day before the deadline, making it objectively impossible to complete formal rulemaking before the statutory deadline. The report indicates that this means that some key rules necessary for the operation of the stablecoin framework will not be finalized until at least after the deadline.

According to Bitcoin News, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has requested President Trump to voluntarily disclose his cryptocurrency income and holdings from January 1 to July 15, with a deadline to complete this by July 23.In a letter dated July 16, the senior member of the Senate Banking Committee argued that Congress cannot fairly debate cryptocurrency legislation given that the President's financial exposure to the industry has only been partially disclosed. This request comes as the Senate is reviewing the CLARITY Act, and Warren believes that lawmakers need to be informed of the President's cryptocurrency interests before advancing legislation that could directly impact the value of Trump's holdings. Warren stated that the concern is not only about the President holding digital assets but also about the legislation being considered by Congress potentially benefiting businesses and investments related to the President, which have only been partially disclosed.

According to reports, Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis recently predicted that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could be achieved in just a few years, with its transformative impact reaching ten times that of the Industrial Revolution, and its development speed accelerating tenfold. He pointed out that as the potential risks of cutting-edge models in areas such as cybersecurity, nuclear energy, and biology become increasingly prominent, the industry urgently needs to establish robust security protections for future AI systems that possess autonomy and self-improvement capabilities.To balance technological innovation and security risks, Hassabis called for the United States to take the lead in establishing a "Frontier AI Standards Agency" similar to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This agency is proposed to operate under a public-private partnership or self-regulatory organization model, managed by independent technical experts and representatives from the open-source community, primarily funded through industry contributions. Its core function is to develop dynamic scientific assessment protocols, initially requiring frontier laboratories to voluntarily submit for review 30 days prior to the release of models, with plans to eventually transition to mandatory market entry testing, while non-frontier models from startups or academic institutions would be exempt. This framework aims to address unknown crises through a technology-driven review mechanism and to promote a global consensus on AI risk management within the international community.

According to The Block, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a circular requiring licensed virtual asset trading platforms and internet brokers to stop using one-time passwords (OTP) for user login and device binding within 12 months, and instead adopt stronger authentication methods such as passkeys and device binding.This move is due to the fact that in the 2025 Hong Kong cybersecurity incident, phishing attacks accounted for as much as 57%. The SFC also requires institutions to establish monitoring systems for suspicious logins, transactions, and withdrawals, and to promptly notify customers of any unusual account activities. Large brokers must implement the new authentication measures immediately. The SFC emphasizes that if internal controls are found to be deficient and result in customer losses, relevant responsibilities will be pursued.
