Bank of Beijing launches a tender for digital RMB business, involving security infrastructure such as firewalls and encryption machines

According to the Digital Currency Research Society, on October 27, Beijing Bank released a public tender announcement for the procurement project of firewall equipment for digital currency business in 2026 through the official centralized procurement management system. Along with the previously announced procurement projects for IPS, encryption machines, WAF, SSL, signature devices, etc., the bank has officially launched a centralized upgrade of the full-chain security infrastructure for digital renminbi business, covering core security nodes such as intrusion defense, encrypted transmission, web application protection, and identity signing.In April of this year, Beijing Bank became a newly added operational institution for digital renminbi business and connected to the central bank's digital renminbi system. In August, the central bank added 8 more operational institutions, expanding the total to 30. Previously, several newly added operational institutions, such as Huishang Bank, Hangzhou Bank, and Guangxi Beibu Gulf Bank, had initiated tenders for core digital currency systems worth tens of millions. The report pointed out that Beijing Bank's inclusion of various security devices such as firewalls and encryption machines in centralized procurement is a proactive security layout to adapt to the new features of digital renminbi, such as high-concurrency transactions and programmable smart contracts.

Analysis: Binance's ETH open contracts priced in USD have halved compared to last year's peak, but the ETH pricing is close to its peak

CryptoQuant analyst BaykusCharts stated that Binance's Ethereum open interest is currently about 5.8 billion USD, which is about half of last summer's peak of over 12 billion USD. On the surface, this looks like large-scale deleveraging, but open interest is denominated in USD, and the ETH price has also dropped by about half during the same period. When converted to ETH, the current open interest is about 2.5 million ETH, close to the peak of about 2.5 million ETH. Therefore, the decline is primarily driven by price rather than traders closing their positions.In terms of funding rates, the significant positive premiums seen in early 2021 and early 2024 have disappeared. After experiencing several periods of negative funding rates this year, it is currently just slightly above zero, with both long and short positions not overly crowded, and longs are not paying significant premiums. Analysis suggests that there is still a large amount of leveraged ETH exposure in the market, but there is a lack of strong directional confidence. This limits the risk of a one-sided liquidation chain reaction, but it also means that any decisive breakthrough in either direction could accelerate quickly. The key signals are: a price increase and a sharp rise in funding rates indicate long crowding; a price decrease and an increase in open interest indicate a growth in short positions.
