ChainCatcher reported live that HashKey Capital CEO Deng Chao and Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom jointly attended the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival roundtable discussion, exploring "From Finance to Strategy: How Public Companies Are Positioning Themselves Based on Digital Assets."Chalom, who worked at BlackRock for 20 years, began leading BlackRock's blockchain and digital assets team six years ago, during which he launched Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, raising about $100 billion at its peak. He stated that the choice to establish a digital asset treasury with Ethereum rather than Bitcoin is because Ethereum is a "native productive asset," which can earn nearly 3% returns through staking, while Bitcoin can only be held in anticipation of appreciation. Sharplink has been listed on Nasdaq and has raised billions of dollars to purchase Ethereum since launching its digital asset treasury strategy last June, currently holding approximately 770,000 ETH and earning about 17,000 ETH and over $35 million in rewards for investors through staking.Regarding industry trends, he pointed out that Ethereum is dominating three major use cases: stablecoins (over 60% occur on Ethereum), asset tokenization, and decentralized finance. He specifically warned that currently over 95% of stablecoins are denominated in US dollars, and if stablecoins are to become the payment rail for trillions of transactions in the AI economy, Asian regulators should not allow them to be dominated by the US dollar and US Treasury bonds, as this will trigger a geopolitical competition to advance local stablecoin legislation.Discussing market cycles, he noted that the crypto market has experienced significant pullbacks since last October, with short-term prices being unpredictable, but in the long term, the current risk-reward ratio is at its best level in a long time. He emphasized that digital asset treasuries are not passive investments; Ethereum is a high-volatility asset, and volatility is a characteristic of capital appreciation rather than a defect.

Members of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank and President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Joachim Nagel, stated in a speech at the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany that the introduction of euro-denominated stablecoins could provide low-cost cross-border payment services for individuals and businesses, while addressing the dollarization risks posed by dollar stablecoins.Joachim Nagel pointed out that if domestic currencies are replaced by dollar stablecoins, it would be equivalent to the dollarization of the relevant economies, which could severely undermine the effectiveness of domestic monetary policy and European sovereignty. Currently, the European Central Bank is assessing the possibility of using distributed ledger technology for non-central bank currencies, including tokenized deposits and euro stablecoins, and plans to launch a digital euro by 2029.

Layer-1 blockchain protocol Saga has urgently paused its Ethereum-compatible Saga EVM chainlet after experiencing an attack that resulted in a loss of approximately $7 million. The attack led to unauthorized funds being cross-chain transferred and exchanged for ETH, causing its dollar-pegged stablecoin, Saga Dollar, to de-peg, with the price dropping to as low as $0.75. The Saga team stated that the chain was paused at block height 6,593,800.Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident involved a series of contract deployments, cross-chain operations, and liquidity withdrawals, but there was no consensus failure, validator compromise, or private key leakage; the overall structure of the Saga mainnet remains secure. The impact was not limited to Saga Dollar; its stablecoins Colt and Mustang were also affected. The team has identified the addresses involved in the attack and is working with exchanges and cross-chain bridges to blacklist these addresses. The chain will remain paused until a complete security audit and post-mortem analysis are published.On-chain data shows that Saga's TVL plummeted from approximately $37 million to $16 million within 24 hours, a decrease of about 55%. Some security researchers speculate that the attack may be related to the "infinite minting" of stablecoins using cross-chain mechanisms, while others believe that the possibility of private key leakage cannot be ruled out, but the officials have not yet confirmed the specific attack vector.

The Bank of Canada has made it clear that under the new stablecoin regulations expected to be introduced in 2026, it will only approve "high-quality" stablecoins that are pegged to central bank currency to ensure they become "good money.""We want stablecoins to be good money, like bank notes or bank deposits," Governor Tiff Macklem said on Tuesday at the Montreal Board of Trade. Macklem stated that stablecoins must maintain a 1:1 peg ratio with central bank currency and be backed by "high-quality liquid assets," which should be easily convertible to cash, typically including treasury bills and government bonds.This statement follows the lengthy "2025 Budget Report" released by Canada in early November. The report indicated that stablecoin issuers will be required to hold sufficient reserves, establish redemption policies, and implement various risk management frameworks, including protections for personal and financial data.
