In an interview video published by Bitcoin Magazine, philosopher Troy Cross provided answers on whether Bitcoin can truly achieve "the separation of money and state." He stated that he does not expect governments to abandon printing money anytime soon, but believes that Bitcoin serves as a check against endless monetary expansion, as people will choose to seek refuge in Bitcoin.Cross believes that academia will be the last group to understand Bitcoin, following innovators, financial practitioners, and journalists. He mentioned that the "Getting Bitcoin" initiative has made it to The Wall Street Journal, with related Bitcoin articles receiving 4 to 6 times the normal click rates. He also cited a survey from the Nakamoto Project, indicating that Bitcoin is moving towards normalization, while also increasingly showing signs of partisanship and polarization.In the interview, Cross also discussed the branding issues Bitcoin faces, as it is often confused with the broader category of crypto assets, and why price trends, education, and "Number Go Up" have become a universal language. He mentioned the need to bridge the gap and reach the 82% of people who do not yet hold Bitcoin, and explained how Bitcoin can keep governments honest. The video chapters also touched on the setbacks of the Clarity Act and why Bitcoin continues to move forward.

According to a report by Daum, while global exchanges are expanding into perpetual contracts, options, and traditional stocks, South Korean local exchanges are still limited to spot trading due to regulatory restrictions. Data from CoinGecko shows that in the second quarter of 2026, the total spot trading volume of the five major Korean won exchanges—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, DigitalX (formerly Korbit), and GOPAX—was approximately $14.67 billion, a decrease of 33.0% from $21.88 billion in the first quarter.Coinbase completed its integration with the derivatives exchange Deribit this month and plans to launch a unified platform covering spot, derivatives, and stocks; Binance is expanding into precious metals, stocks, and index-related perpetual contracts. Current regulations in South Korea prohibit local institutions from engaging in cryptocurrency derivatives business, and the upcoming virtual asset tax law only covers spot gains, with a lack of clear taxation mechanisms for overseas derivatives gains. The industry is concerned about the loss of competitiveness for local exchanges and tax inequities. South Korean financial regulatory authorities have yet to propose a specific timeline for the introduction of cryptocurrency derivatives trading.

The company operates an online trading platform for international artworks and collectibles, stating that the agreement is intended to allow buyers, sellers, AI agents, and robots to verify identities, confirm agreements, and ensure that deliveries actually occur, with the existing digital art platform intended to serve as the first real-world scenario.The company claims that internally managed test records show 50 tests passed with no failures, and it plans to launch a limited live pilot within 90 days after completing an independent security review and other conditions, targeting the first quarter of 2027. The reference implementation includes core protocol logic in Node.js, 50 automated test cases with expected outputs, schema and API documentation, as well as a browser demonstration using synthetic data. The company also stated that RWAIX has not yet been integrated into the production environment, and the related timeline may still be adjusted.The existing digital art trading platform is operated by its wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Metaverse Digital Payment Co., Limited.

CEO Yanying Wang stated that the company already has customers, orders, and payments, and plans to verify within the next 90 days whether the agreement can be used for real customer orders.

During a conversation with Cointelegraph's multimedia director Ciaran Lyons at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, Kevin Lee, Chief Strategy Officer of the cryptocurrency exchange BingX, stated that wealthy "old money" investors have a longer holding period for Bitcoin compared to many crypto-native traders. He mentioned that he has encountered a large number of "old money" clients seeking alternative investments, saying, "Their diamond hands are stronger than any of ours." Lee pointed out that Bitcoin has grown large enough that wealthy investors are increasingly viewing it as a tool for diversifying their portfolios rather than expecting it to "increase tenfold in two weeks."Lee sees wealthy investors as an underdeveloped source of crypto capital, believing that their buy-and-hold strategy could make Bitcoin a diversification tool for more investors. He cited examples where investors allocate 5% to gold and another 5% to Bitcoin, rather than chasing short-term quick returns. A survey released by CoinShares on Monday, targeting 2,230 investors with investable assets of at least $500,000, showed that long-term appreciation and diversification are the primary reasons for investing in crypto assets, while short-term speculation ranked last. Among the surveyed digital asset investors, 80% hold Bitcoin.However, crypto assets are still far from becoming a standard allocation for wealthy families. A survey conducted by JPMorgan in February, based on 333 single-family offices across 30 countries, revealed that 89% of family offices have no exposure to crypto assets, with an average allocation to crypto and digital assets of only 0.4%. Only 17% of respondents consider crypto and digital assets as key investment themes.

According to Digital Assets, South Korea's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister nominee Lee Hyeong-jin stated at a parliamentary hearing that taxing virtual assets poses a relatively small burden for most investors and is not expected to have a significant impact on the market.Data shows that about 95% of investors hold assets of less than 5 million Korean Won; when the acquisition cost cannot be proven, 50% of the income can be considered necessary expenses, plus a basic deduction of 2.5 million Korean Won, resulting in a limited actual tax burden for small investors.
