South Korea plans to open virtual asset accounts to about 3,500 companies, and the central bank plans to test AI proxy deposit tokens by the end of 2026

Comparing news, Factblock CEO and Korea Blockchain Week organizer Andrew Park said that the Korean crypto market is shifting from being driven by retail transactions to institutional digital finance. The focus of global financial institutions and enterprises has moved from tokens, exchanges, and prices to escrow, tokenization, stablecoins, payment and settlement infrastructure, and regulatory compliance. The Korea Financial Services Commission has proposed a framework to open corporate virtual asset accounts to approximately 3,500 listed companies and registered professional investors. The National Assembly of Korea has officially passed amendments to the Electronic Securities Act and the Capital Markets Act to incorporate tokenized real-world assets and security tokens into a unified legal framework. The Bank of Korea has completed initial testing of the Project Hangang real-world deposit token project and plans to conduct the second phase of institutional testing in late 2026. Related technical experiments have used wholesale deposit tokens to allow AI agents to execute automated conditional transactions.

[Comparative Daily News Picks] Anthropic plans to include anti-AI sentiment as the main risk factor in the prospectus; Strategy's stock price hit a two-month high, and STRC returned above $96; Bernstein: Even if the “Clarity Act” is not passed, the SEC and CFTC will speed up rule-making; Dalio: The US debt crisis may break out within three years, and it is recommended to increase gold holdings

Daily AI · Crypto · Macro · Market Highlights, Bitpush helps you set priorities ↓ AI · News [Anthropic plans to include anti-AI sentiment as the main risk factor in the prospectus]. According to CNBC, Anthropic is expected to list the public's negative sentiment about artificial intelligence and data centers as a risk factor in the IPO prospectus to be released in the next few weeks. According to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic recently held a pre-listing “market trial” meeting with bankers and investors. Investors focused on competitive pressure, the impact of open source models on profit margins, and the risks that may be brought about by a slowdown in data center construction. Anthropic is currently valued at close to $1 trillion in the private equity market and is preparing to hit a major IPO. However, as Americans' concerns about AI replacing employment and data center expansion heat up, the related backlash sentiment is becoming a new challenge facing the company's listing. The company has previously achieved an annualized revenue operating rate of more than 65 billion US dollars. [Apple cuts Siri and Vision Pro team positions, and resources shift to AI and new devices] Compared to news, Apple (AAPL.O) is laying off employees from various teams responsible for Siri's digital assistants and Vision Pro headsets. The total impact of this layoff is more than 200 people. Of these, about 100 jobs in the Vision Pro department have been abolished, and about 100 other positions in the Siri and software teams have been cut. The move is part of the company's efforts to focus resources on new devices and artificial intelligence. People familiar with the matter said that in this adjustment, Apple has basically shut down a team dedicated to the Vision Pro game business, while also reducing the size of the department responsible for producing immersive video content for the device. Apple admitted in a statement that the company is making adjustments to some teams “to drive business development and provide the best experience for users.” [Castle Securities: Over 80% of the overall risk in the Situational Awareness Fund portfolio has been divested] According to the Financial Times, Castle Securities founder Ken Griffin responded to the company's acquisition of Situational Awareness assets under Leopold (Leopold) in a letter to clients on Friday. According to a letter obtained by CNBC, Griffin told clients that Castle Securities had divested more than 80% of the overall risk in the original purchased portfolio by conducting more than 100 major transactions (with a market value of more than $4 billion). In his letter, Griffin wrote, “A transaction of this scale would not have been possible without the full cooperation of the transaction teams and lead brokerage teams of the banks serving the two companies. I am very grateful for their dedicated efforts to complete the portfolio transfer quickly.” Griffin also confirmed that the company's flagship multi-strategy fund, the Wellington Fund, had a return of 5.94% in July, which is the fund's best monthly performance since 2022. [AI cloud company Nscale seeks to raise 3 billion US dollars in US IPOs] In comparison, AI cloud company Nscale is reportedly seeking to raise 3 billion US dollars in a US IPO. In the crypto market [Strategy stock price hit a two-month high, STRC returned above $96], the Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR) stock price rose to a two-month high today as the Bitcoin price briefly broke through $79,400. It broke through $120 during the intraday period, then partially regained its gains. Meanwhile, the price of STRC, Strategy's preferred stock product, also surpassed $96 for the first time since June. Previously, STRC's price once fell below $70 due to concerns about its ability to pay dividends and the ability of the stock price to maintain the $100 target for a long time. [Bernstein: Even if the Clarity Act is not passed, the SEC and CFTC will speed up rulemaking] Comparing news, the Bernstein analyst team led by Gautam Chhugani released a report stating that regardless of the procedural voting results of the “Clarity Act” on September 15, the certainty of US crypto regulation is expected to increase. They expect the SEC and CFTC to accelerate rulemaking in areas such as native crypto asset issuance, tokenized stocks, perpetual futures, computing power derivatives, and predictive markets.

Dalio's latest warning: the US debt crisis may explode within three years. The antidote is...

Author: Ray Dalio, founder of Qiaoshui Foundation Original title: How Countries Go Broke: The Dynamic Behind What is Incurable Now Compiled and organized by: bitPushNews In “How Countries Go Bankrupt: The Big Cycle,” I detailed an analytical framework to describe dynamic processes that are highly likely to occur due to unsustainable imbalances between debt supply and demand. Recently, three things happened at the same time: 1) The Japanese government sold part of its US Treasury holdings to return capital to Japan to support the yen and the Japanese capital market, and reduce exposure to US Treasury bonds while avoiding being forced to raise interest rates beyond its wishes in order to support the yen; 2) US bond yields hit new highs under long-term leadership, while the dollar weakened. The reasons include not only the current and anticipated supply of huge debt, but also weak demand for US bonds; 3) Treasury Secretary Bessent announced this week that the US Treasury would buy US Treasury bonds and be able to buy other US Treasury bonds The amount of capital used is limited, and many people ask me : Do these events fit the classic template I set out in my book? The answer is yes. To anticipate what might happen next, let's first review this operating mechanism. The operating mechanism explains in detail that the central government's debt dynamics are the same principles as the debt dynamics of individuals or companies. The only difference is that the central government has a central bank that can print money (this will depreciate the currency), and it can obtain funds from the public through taxation. Because of this, if you imagine how the debt dynamic would work if you or the business you run could print money, or get capital from people through taxation — then you can understand this process. But remember, your goal is for the entire system to work well, not only for yourself, but for all citizens. In my opinion, the credit/market system is like the human body's circulatory system, delivering nutrients to every corner that makes up the market and economy. If credit is used effectively, it can generate productivity and income to repay debt and interest on debt, which is a healthy state of affairs. However, if credit is not properly used to generate sufficient income to repay debts and interest, debt payments will continue to pile up like plaques in blood vessels, squeezing other expenses. When debt payments become very large, debt repayment problems arise, and eventually evolve into debt rollover problems — because debt holders are unwilling to continue to roll over and instead want to sell. Naturally, this will lead to a shortage of demand and sell-off of debt instruments such as bonds; when demand is scarce relative to supply, it either causes a) interest rates to rise, thereby suppressing the market and economic downturn, or b) the central bank “prints money” and buys debt, which will reduce the value of the currency, thereby driving up inflation (compared to the original level). Banknote printing also artificially lowers interest rates and harms lenders' returns. Both options are bad. When debt sell-offs are too large and difficult to contain, and the central bank has already purchased large amounts of debt, rising interest rates can cause the central bank to lose money and damage its cash flow. If this continues, the central bank will fall into a situation where net assets are negative. When this situation became serious, the central government and central bank needed to borrow money to repay the principal and interest of the debt, while the central bank printed money to provide loans due to insufficient free market demand, so a self-reinforcing spiral between debt/banknote printing/inflation formed. In summary, the classic indicators to pay attention to are the following: the ratio of government debt payments to government revenue (which is like the amount of plaque in the circulatory system), the ratio of government debt sold to the demand for government debt (this is like a plaque falling off and causing a heart attack), and the amount of government debt purchased by the central bank to cover the gap between the demand for government debt and the supply of government debt to be sold (this is like the central bank applying a larger dose of liquidity/credit to mitigate liquidity shortages, and the central bank has a risk appetite for these debts). These indicators usually rise over a long cycle of decades — debt and debt payments continue to grow in relation to income — until this state of affairs cannot continue because: 1) debt repayment expenses unacceptably crowd out other expenses, 2) the supply of debt that must be purchased is too large, causing interest rates to rise sharply, leading to a sharp decline in the market and economy, or 3) central banks are unwilling to let interest rates rise and suffer bad market/economic consequences, so they print large amounts of money and buy large amounts of government debt to cover the demand gap, thereby making the value of the currency significant Decreased. Either way, the return on bonds will be poor until the money and debt eventually become cheap enough to attract demand, or the government can cheaply buy back or repay...

Strategy shares break through $120 and hit a two-month high, STRC returns above $96

Comparative news, according to MSX.COM data, Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR) stock rose to a two-month high today as the Bitcoin price briefly surpassed $79,400. It once broke through $120 intraday, then partially regained its gains. Meanwhile, the price of STRC, Strategy's preferred stock product, also surpassed $96 for the first time since June. Previously, STRC's price once fell below $70 due to concerns about its ability to pay dividends and the ability of the stock price to maintain the $100 target for a long time. Recently, Strategy has continued to manage balance sheets through capital operations, including using MSTR stock issuance funds to support repurchases of preferred shares, dividend payments, and US dollar reserve construction. The company previously disclosed that as of mid-August, its Bitcoin holdings were about 840,447, while the US dollar reserves reached about $4.8 billion. Market participants believe that as the price of Bitcoin rebounds and investors' risk appetite improves, Strategy related securities have recently received repricing opportunities. However, the future performance of MSTR and STRC is still highly dependent on Bitcoin price trends and the continued implementation of the company's Bitcoin treasury strategy.

They all say stablecoins are suitable for cross-border payments; is it really faster and cheaper than Wise?

Author: Jonah Compiled by: Saoirse, Foresight News Original title: Do cross-border payments really need stablecoins? Everyone says stablecoins are better suited for cross-border payments. Is that really true? If the recipient of your transfer wants stablecoins themselves, then stablecoins are indeed an excellent cross-border solution. You can transfer money around the clock at almost zero cost and instant settlement. But the more difficult question, which is also the focus of this article, is the cross-currency scenario: what happens when one end inputs US dollars and the other end exports foreign currency (such as Mexican pesos). Most crypto industry opinion leaders will claim that stablecoins can fundamentally reduce the speed and cost of transfers in this scenario. However, people who are optimistic about stablecoins deliberately avoid the fact that fintech companies have already achieved low-cost, high-efficiency businesses of the same kind, and there is no need for stablecoins at all. So what problem do stablecoins solve? This article will sort out how the traditional agency banking system works, and also analyze the innovations made by modern fintech companies such as Wise to clarify the actual value of stablecoins. The proxy banking business assumes Alice, who is in the US, wants to send a peso to her friend Bob in Mexico. Both banks do not have branches in each other's countries, so payments cannot be completed directly. The two banks need to use a larger bank, or correspondent bank, to establish a connection. Alice's depositary bank holds funds in US dollars at this correspondent bank called GlobalBank; GlobalBank also holds pesos at BancomX Bank in Mexico. After Alice initiated the transfer, her bank withheld the funds in her account and issued instructions to GlobalBank. GlobalBank transfers $100 from the dollars stored by Alice Bank, completes the exchange according to its own exchange rate, earns the exchange rate spread, then tells BancomX to credit Bob's account and deduct its own processing fee. The entire process relies on the SWIFT system to coordinate information, and SWIFT itself also charges for messages. This underlying transfer mechanism is expensive and slow. The root cause is that all layers of intermediaries are profiting from it. In an ordinary consumer remittance scenario, the comprehensive cost of the agent banking system is about 15%, including transaction fees and foreign exchange spreads embedded in the exchange rate. In addition to this, a transfer usually takes 1 to 5 business days to complete, and each intermediary takes time to complete its own operation process. Modern fintech solutions In 2011, two friends in London had complementary financial needs: one person earned in euros but needed pounds to live in the local area; the other received a salary in pounds and had to repay a mortgage in euros to Estonia. As a result, they bypassed banks and paid each other locally: the British pound was deposited into the London account, the euro was deposited into the Estonian account, and the two funds did not flow across the border. This system later evolved into Wise. The two founders believe that this model of hedging and offsetting capital flows can be implemented on a large scale, and this model has indeed worked. Many other fintech companies have taken the same approach. Let's take another example of Alice sending money to Bob, this time using a service similar to Wise. Alice transferred dollars to the fintech company's US account; the company used its own peso funds stored in Mexico to complete the payment directly to Bob. The funds did not cross the border from beginning to end. Alice's perception of a cross-border transfer is essentially a financial institution that receives and withdraws money at the same time. Because of this, the user experience was almost instantaneous, and the fintech company needed to bear the asset liability risks associated with holding large amounts of foreign currency. In order not to touch the traditional banking system as much as possible, fintech companies will distort transactions. For example, if other users remit pesos overseas in reverse, fintech companies can internally hedge off the two capital flows. Once a currency's capital pool is seriously unbalanced, it is only necessary to seek help from the traditional banking system. At the bottom, fintech companies cobble together partner banks and various license resources, and local partners handle regions that cannot be covered by their own business. Under the premise of normal operation, this model is far superior to the traditional system. Wise only charges a small, publicly disclosed processing fee, using the actual mid-market exchange rate, no hidden exchange rate spread, and the comprehensive rate is only 0.52% (this value is mixed with some transfers in the same currency, and the foreign exchange rate is not disclosed separately). According to World Bank data, the average ratio of digital remittance services...

Bank of Italy research: Stablecoin remittances have no systemic cost advantage, and on-chain links account for only a small part

Comparatively, in a research report released in July 2026, the Bank of Italy first passed the “mystery customer” empirical survey to track 200 USDC transfers across ten corridors between Italy and Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan. The results showed that the total cost of stablecoin remittance fluctuated greatly, with a minimum of only 0.3% and a maximum close to 9%. The average transfer on the blockchain chain accounts for only 0.4%. Most of the costs are concentrated in fiat currency withdrawal and recharge — traditional intermediary fees such as exchange transaction price differences, credit card fees, and withdrawal fees are decisive factors. Compared with traditional channels such as Wise, stablecoins have a cost advantage in some channels such as Brazil → Italy, but channels such as the UAE → Italy are more expensive and show a high degree of “channel specificity.” In terms of speed, blockchain transfers themselves only take a few minutes, but end-to-end efficiency depends entirely on the quality of traditional payment infrastructure in the destination country. Countries with instant payment systems such as Brazil (PIX), Italy (TIPS), and Argentina (Transferencias 3.0) can control the entire process within 20 minutes; countries that rely on traditional bank transfers, such as South Africa, extend the delivery time to 1 to 2 business days. The report points out that the efficiency of stablecoin remittance is determined by itself and the surrounding traditional payment infrastructure, and the two are complementary rather than alternative relationships. The report also analyzed the impact of global regulatory fragmentation: the European Union's MiCA and the US GENIUS Act represent a mature compliance framework; Japan's strict “safety priority” entry reduces nominal costs, but the process is complicated, causing users to flow out to offshore platforms; countries such as India and Turkey are in a transitional regulatory phase; prohibited countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia have failed to curb demand and instead push transactions into gray channels.
