According to Jinshi, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the constitutionality of a now-repealed policy of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).The policy previously required individuals and companies that reached enforcement settlements with the SEC not to publicly criticize or question the allegations made by this Wall Street regulatory agency. The U.S. Supreme Court justices did not provide any explanation on Monday when they rejected the challenge regarding whether the SEC's so-called "gag order" infringed on individual constitutional rights.

According to Reuters, the Austrian government has proposed that the EU consider bringing the AI company Anthropic into its territory to address the U.S. restrictions on foreign users accessing advanced AI models.In an open letter to the EU Commissioner for Technology, Austrian Secretary of State for Digitalization Alexander Proell called on the EU to jointly explore Anthropic's strategic layout and participation in Europe, and to provide it with legal protection, market access, and capital support. He emphasized that Europe must ensure it is not excluded from major technological innovations and strive to become the architect of the technological future rather than a passive recipient.It is reported that the European Commission proposed relevant legislation earlier this month aimed at boosting the local cloud computing, AI, and semiconductor industries to reduce dependence on U.S. tech giants. Currently, Anthropic has not responded to this proposal.

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated on the X platform that capital outflows from globally less stable countries will bring new upward momentum for Bitcoin and other digital assets.She pointed out that artificial intelligence is leading a technological revolution and "drawing a lot of attention and liquidity" in the investment field, but AI cannot replace the role that digital assets play in the current global environment—especially as a "wealth insurance tool."Cathie Wood emphasized that against the backdrop of rising macro uncertainty, the demand from investors for asset preservation and cross-border allocation tools is increasing, and digital assets are gradually becoming an important means of meeting this demand.

During the 2026 New York Tech Week, Zack Anderson, Chief Data and Analytics Officer of J.P. Morgan Payments, shared the latest applications and strategic outlook of AI in payment infrastructure at a seminar. He stated that the application of AI in the banking industry is becoming increasingly mature, with most AI agents currently operating invisibly in the background, significantly enhancing the efficiency of payment flows and risk management capabilities.Anderson pointed out that with the proliferation of Agentic AI, the core challenge facing the payment sector lies in the governance and auditability of "machine authorization" (especially for high-value payments). He emphasized that leveraging AI to handle complex cross-border payment compliance rules is an important opportunity in the near term, which is expected to significantly reduce payment rejection rates. Furthermore, although current corporate AI investments are largely focused on the customer front end, "Agentic Treasury" will be an important early opportunity for the future, and its large-scale application will still rely on further improvement of underlying data and governance infrastructure.

According to the Shanghai Securities Journal, multiple private equity industry insiders revealed that they received notifications from cooperating brokerages last night, stating that regulators have requested a suspension of new cross-border TRS (Total Return Swap) scale by managers. According to public information, TRS is a financial derivative that allows private equity firms to obtain the returns (or losses) of an asset without directly holding foreign assets (with principal not leaving the country) by signing a return swap agreement with counterpart brokerages. Since the beginning of this year, due to the impressive performance of the global technology sector, many private equity firms have allocated overseas assets through cross-border TRS.Since May, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and seven other departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Comprehensive Rectification of Illegal Cross-Border Securities, Futures, and Fund Operations," targeting leading cross-border internet brokerages such as Tiger Brokers, Futu Holdings, and Changqiao Securities. As the space for mainland residents to engage in illegal cross-border stock trading shrinks, private equity products using cross-border TRS to allocate overseas technology targets have increasingly attracted capital attention.

According to reports from two Meta employees cited by The New York Times, Mark Zuckerberg has instructed a small internal team to develop an independent prediction market application codenamed "Arena," which will operate separately from existing products like Facebook and Instagram.The initial design uses a game-like points system instead of real money betting, but the possibility of introducing real money models in the future has not been ruled out. Following the announcement, the stock prices of Robinhood and DraftKings fell in early trading this week. Meta's applications have 3.56 billion daily active users, and their distribution scale far exceeds the total of all existing prediction market platforms; if they officially enter the market, it will directly impact crypto-native platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi.The prediction market is currently in a rapid growth phase, with Polymarket's trading volume surpassing $10 billion for the first time in March this year. On the regulatory front, the CFTC is engaged in litigation regarding federal jurisdiction over prediction markets and state-level betting laws. Meta's points system design temporarily sidesteps this issue, but its scale means that any shift towards real money betting will immediately become a significant regulatory event.

On Monday, U.S. President Trump signed two executive orders aimed at accelerating the development of U.S. quantum computing capabilities and advancing the government's transition to post-quantum cryptography. Although the executive orders did not directly mention Bitcoin, industry insiders believe this could benefit the blockchain's post-quantum security research and development.The two executive orders focus on defending against advanced cryptographic attacks and promoting cutting-edge quantum innovation. They include a clear timeline: to advance the construction of quantum sensors by September 2028 and require federal high-value assets and high-impact systems to complete the transition to post-quantum cryptography by the end of 2031. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden stated that this means the U.S. government will invest time and resources to achieve post-quantum security goals and may extend related requirements to the entire federal contractor system, not just limited to government agencies, thereby accelerating the implementation of post-quantum cryptographic technology.At the time of this policy announcement, the blockchain industry’s concern about quantum threats continues to rise. Organizations like the Ethereum Foundation and the Solana Foundation have begun advancing post-quantum security research and development, while the Bitcoin community is also discussing potential risks. Some publicly exposed Bitcoin addresses are believed to face the risk of private keys being derived once powerful quantum computers emerge in the future. Pruden pointed out that this executive order clearly sets the deadline for adopting post-quantum cryptography as 2031, which is more binding than the previous guidance from the U.S. government that proposed phasing out traditional cryptographic systems by 2035. For Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry, government investment in post-quantum security may accelerate the maturity of related tools, standards, and migration paths.

According to CoinDesk, blockchain infrastructure company Chainlink Labs has announced that it will join an alliance composed of several banks that collectively manage assets exceeding $10 trillion, aiming to promote real-time cross-border foreign exchange payment settlements based on stablecoins within a year.The alliance is named "Project Pangea." Niki Ariyasinghe, Vice President of Chainlink for the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, stated in a video interview on Tuesday that the project aims to reshape the global foreign exchange market.In addition to Chainlink, the alliance also includes: a euro stablecoin consortium Qivalis supported by 37 European banks; and a Korean banking alliance UniKA representing more than 10 commercial banks.The goal of the project is to explore moving foreign exchange settlements from the traditional T+2 (48 hours after the transaction) cycle to an almost instantaneous T+0 settlement method, primarily relying on regulated euro and Korean won-pegged stablecoins—cryptocurrencies that are pegged 1:1 to the underlying fiat currency.

According to BusinessMirror, columnist John Mangun pointed out that the European Commission recently proposed the first "comprehensive ban on third-country cryptocurrency asset services" against Russia. The underlying logic—wealthy countries can enforce compliance with their policies on any country accessing their financial systems—has far-reaching warning implications for developing countries like the Philippines.Remittances in the Philippines account for about 9% of GDP, and the proportion of cryptocurrency channels continues to rise. Although the central bank has established a regulatory framework for virtual asset service providers, its regulatory authority stops at the national border. The article cites the case of the Philippines being placed on the FATF "grey list" in 2021, indicating that once external financial connections are severed, compliance costs will be passed down, ultimately borne by ordinary remittance families. The author warns that the current debt-to-GDP ratio in the Philippines has reached 63.2%, a 20-year high. If cryptocurrency regulation is viewed solely as a consumer protection issue, while ignoring the underlying dimensions of capital accounts and fiscal sovereignty, the country may face a "Roosevelt-style four-day ultimatum" unprepared.

According to Cointelegraph, South Korea's Toss Bank will adopt Solana to conduct a global remittance and settlement proof of concept, aiming to provide its users with faster and lower-cost cross-border transaction services.

The People's Bank of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Financial Regulatory Administration, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government issued the "Offshore Financial Action Plan for the Development of Shanghai International Financial Center," which points out that relying on the international operation center of the digital renminbi, it is necessary to build and operate the cross-border, offshore, and blockchain infrastructure of the digital renminbi under the premise of safety and controllability, steadily promote the interconnection with overseas financial infrastructure, and steadily advance the application and scenario expansion of the digital renminbi in offshore business.

His current perpetual positions are: 1,268.33 BTC (81.7 million USD), 50,013 ZEC (2.387 million USD), and 581,241 UNI (1.88 million USD).

According to a report by The Paper, Wang Xin, the Director of the Research Bureau (Advisory Office) of the People's Bank of China, discussed the cross-border payment system at the "Lujiazui Forum 2026 Plenary Session II: Global Financial Governance Reform and Cooperation." He stated that the next step is to further ensure the security, neutrality, and efficiency of the international payment system, strengthen the interconnection of payment systems between central banks, as well as retail payment systems. It is essential to prudently and steadily explore the potential of new payment tools, closely monitor the impact of stablecoins on the international monetary system and cross-border payments, improve regulatory rules, and promote a more inclusive, efficient, and resilient international payment system to better support sustainable development and the growth of the world economy.

According to Nikkei Asia, due to the surge in demand for AI infrastructure leading to tight advanced chip capacity at TSMC, companies such as BYD, Google, AMD, and Tesla are increasingly turning to Samsung Electronics for chip foundry services.Insiders revealed that BYD is negotiating with Samsung to produce future generations of autonomous driving chips; Google is exploring the possibility of Samsung manufacturing the next-generation Axion processor and some TPU chips expected to launch in 2028; AMD is also in talks for Samsung to produce some future CPUs starting in 2028. Additionally, Tesla's upcoming AI6 chip will also be produced at Samsung's Texas factory.Industry insiders pointed out that although Samsung still lags behind TSMC in chip yield, its available capacity advantage is making it an attractive option. At the same time, due to TSMC's capacity constraints and geopolitical factors, an increasing number of Chinese and American companies are adopting a diversified supply chain strategy to spread orders among multiple foundries.

According to BBX data, yesterday's interest rate hike in Japan coincided with the Federal Reserve's decision window, creating the most intense macroeconomic shock point of the week. The latest results of institutional stablecoin research were released on the same day, with the core dynamics as follows:Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350), as the largest corporate BTC reserve holder in Asia and the third largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin globally (holding 40,177 BTC at an average price of about $104,000, with a target of 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026), faced a dual-edged sword pressure from the exchange rate yesterday: after the Bank of Japan announced a 25 basis point increase in the policy interest rate to 1.0%, the yen strengthened, superficially lowering the book value of BTC denominated in yen, but Bitcoin subsequently rose against the trend (CoinDesk's headline on the same day: "Bitcoin rallies after Japan rate increase"), with actual improvements in USD-denominated holdings. The company's current holdings are approximately $2.64 billion (estimated at $65,750/BTC), with the latest capital move being the issuance of 8 billion yen (about $55 million) for the 20th bond (EVO FUND) on April 24 for additional BTC purchases. Analysts warn that if the BOJ's interest rate hike triggers large-scale unwinding of "Yen Carry Trade," global risk assets including BTC may suffer systemic deleveraging shocks—however, Metaplanet holds physical BTC rather than leveraged positions, with its main risk being the exchange rate conversion effect rather than forced liquidation.OSL Group (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: 0863.HK) and the School of Business at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University jointly released a white paper on June 16 (The Block included it on the same day at 9:01 am EDT), titled "Cross-Border Trade Payments Will Drive the Adoption of Regulated Corporate Stablecoins." The core conclusion is that the demand for corporate-level cross-border trade payments is the main path to drive the large-scale adoption of regulated stablecoins, with importance surpassing retail consumption scenarios. OSL Group holds the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission licenses 7 (automated trading services) and 1 (securities trading), making it one of the few compliant exchanges globally with both institutional custody and practical experience in stablecoin settlement. Previously, it provided institutional clients with approximately $130 million in USDGO stablecoin settlement services in April 2026. This white paper provides an industrial basis for the stablecoin policy framework of Hong Kong's financial regulatory authorities, and, together with Visa's stablecoin settlement of $7 billion annualized scale, SoFi SoFiUSD's launch, and Western Union's USDPT layout, constitutes multiple points of evidence accelerating the global adoption of corporate stablecoins.
