  • Strategist: Fiscal policy could trigger a sharp repricing of U.S. Treasuries

    Jussi Hiljanen, Chief Interest Rate Strategist at SEB Research, said in a report that the long-term US Treasury yield may further rise, partly because market confidence in US policy is waning. "Trust in US policy is eroding, considering the cost of forex hedging, lack of attractiveness in valuation, and investors shifting to European bonds, all indicate that long-term US yields face structural upward pressure, with long-term Treasury yields expected to rise modestly, but fiscal policy may trigger a significant repricing of US Treasury bonds."

  • South Korea plans to issue new guidelines in Q3 to lift ban on institutional cryptocurrency investments

    South Korean financial regulatory agency announced on Wednesday that it plans to release comprehensive guidelines for institutional cryptocurrency investments in the third quarter. The Financial Services Commission made this announcement during a meeting with local cryptocurrency industry experts. While investment guidelines for listed companies and professional investors are expected to be introduced in the third quarter, the Financial Services Commission stated that its goal is to release investment guidelines for non-profit organizations and cryptocurrency exchanges in April. The Financial Services Commission first announced in January that it would gradually lift the ban on institutional investors investing in cryptocurrencies. Last month, the regulatory agency revealed that it intends to first allow charities and universities to sell their cryptocurrency assets in the second quarter. The upcoming detailed guidelines further solidify South Korea's shift in stance towards cryptocurrencies, no longer strictly opposing the entry of crypto assets into traditional financial markets.
  • Utah Bitcoin Bill Passes State Senate, But Key Provisions Are Deleted

    The Bitcoin bill in Utah has passed the state Senate, but the core provisions of the bill have been removed. The provision was originally intended to make Utah the first state in the United States to have its own Bitcoin reserve. The "HB230 Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendment" bill now only provides basic custody protection to Utah citizens, giving them rights to mine Bitcoin, run nodes, and participate in staking. On March 7, the bill passed with 19 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and 3 abstentions, and will now be sent to Utah Governor Spencer Cox for signature into law.
