The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association submitted a position paper on the implementation of the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and CRS revisions in Hong Kong, supporting mandatory registration for RCASP and RFI to align with OECD standards and maintain Hong Kong's status as a financial center. The association recommends providing a simplified or lightweight registration and reporting mechanism for "zero reporting" entities to reduce compliance costs, while also supporting an administrative penalty mechanism to replace criminal liability.In addition, the association supports the "dual reporting" default option for CARF and CRS to reduce system complexity and the risk of underreporting, and calls for the provision of an API reporting interface to meet the automated compliance needs of large crypto institutions.

Japan Post Bank plans to launch a blockchain-based tokenized deposit "DCJPY" in the fiscal year 2026 and has reached a basic cooperation agreement with Shinano Construction Group and Deecret DCP.The three parties will use monthly rent payments in real estate leasing management as an application scenario to verify the automation and efficiency of the payment process. This tokenized deposit will tokenize bank deposits through blockchain technology, enabling fund flow control and payment automation. Once officially launched, users are expected to freely set the payment dates for rent and utility bills. Shinano Construction Group also plans to provide "Shinano Construction Coins" as reward points based on the duration of stay and payment records.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Aurora co-founder Alex Shevchenko proposed that the Intents architecture can solve the complexity of cryptocurrency operations. This model allows users to declare goals (such as "pay $5 for coffee"), while the backend system automatically handles wallet interactions, cross-chain routing, and transaction settlements, eliminating the need for manual handling of addresses, gas fees, and network selection.The core innovation lies in separating interaction logic from the execution layer: users authenticate through wallet-less methods such as biometrics, while smart contracts execute asset custody and on-chain settlements, all while retaining decentralized features like proof of reserves. This architecture supports multiple application scenarios, including cross-chain asset portfolio management, dynamic yield strategies, and conditional micropayments, laying the foundation for AI financial agents.Shevchenko emphasized that blockchain will truly move towards mainstream applications when users can complete on-chain interactions without needing to understand the underlying technology. The intent-driven system, combined with AI assistants, will reconstruct the DeFi interaction paradigm, achieving a traditional finance-level operational experience.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Sky Protocol co-founder Rune Christensen stated that due to the traditional payment systems struggling to keep up with the rapid developments in AI, blockchain, and the Internet of Things, stablecoins may become one of the most effective payment methods in the global economy.He mentioned that the integration of AI and blockchain will become a transformative force, with AI agents seamlessly integrating with Sky Protocol's USDS stablecoin to optimize payments, savings, and financial management. USDS is an upgraded version of DAI, offering an 8.75% savings rate, with AI agents responsible for managing collateral to maintain this rate.Christensen emphasized that AI agents continuously optimize financial strategies through super-rational decision-making, making blockchain stablecoins an ideal choice. He also pointed out that the transparency of AI systems is crucial for users, as AI agents will verify collateral, assess returns, and execute trades based on liquidity conditions, serving as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain.

ChainCatcher news, Bio Protocol co-founder Paul Kohhaas stated during his speech at X Space that he previously communicated with Zhao Changpeng, admitting that Bio Protocol can create about 6-7 DeSci DAOs in a year, while Zhao Changpeng believes this number is slightly low and that the time to launch an ecological project is too long. However, through continuous building, Paul Kohhaas and Bio Protocol have become increasingly familiar with the DAO launch process, and they currently hope to automate the DAO project launch process. This will significantly shorten the time required to complete the DAO launch process, leading to an increasing number of DAOs within the Bio Protocol ecosystem.Currently, their internal team has reviewed 20-30 DAOs, of which 10 DAOs have basically completed the process. It is expected that 15-20 DAOs will be cold-launched through the launchpad in Q1 of next year.
