🚀 South Korea's Democratic Party Proposes Legal Framework for Tokenized Assets and Stablecoins
#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #TokenizedAssets #Stablecoins #DigitalAssetRegulation #RWA #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarketsAct #ForeignExchange #Interoperability #DigitalAssetBasicAct
South Korea's Democratic Party is moving to integrate tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins into the existing legal framework. According to ChainCatcher, the proposal includes provisions in the draft of the Digital Asset Basic Act.
The proposal mandates that issuers of tokenized RWAs deposit linked assets into trust accounts in accordance with the Capital Markets Act. Stablecoins are classified as 'means of payment' under the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, to be regulated by foreign exchange authorities without requiring additional registration. Small stablecoin transactions are exempt from foreign exchange reporting, while larger transactions remain subject to regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the proposal prohibits offering returns on idle stablecoin balances and requires the Financial Services Commission to establish technical standards for stablecoin interoperability. The Digital Asset Basic Act represents South Korea's second set of digital asset regulations, which has faced multiple legislative delays, pushing the original 2025 launch timeline further back.#SouthKorea #DemocraticParty #TokenizedAssets #Stablecoins #DigitalAssetRegulation #RWA #FinancialRegulation #CapitalMarketsAct #ForeignExchange #Interoperability #DigitalAssetBasicAct

#AShareMarket #USIranCeasefire #CSI300 #ShanghaiCompositeIndex #ValuationRecovery #GeopoliticalTensions #Investment #HighQualityStocks #CapitalFlows #StockMarketRebound
On April 8, Jin10 reported that the A-share market experienced a significant rebound following news of a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran. According to Jin10, the CSI 300 Index, representing blue-chip stocks, showed stronger performance compared to the broader Shanghai Composite Index, indicating a faster recovery pace for high-quality stocks. The valuation recovery space and speed for these stocks are expected to surpass the overall market, gradually widening the gap between high-quality and underperforming stocks.
The A-share market's movements are closely linked to external factors, capital flows, and the fundamentals of listed companies. The temporary easing of geopolitical tensions has removed a major uncertainty, providing an opportunity for valuation recovery in the previously risk-averse market. When selecting investment directions, market funds tend to prioritize low-risk and highly certain listed companies. High-quality stocks, with stable operating performance, solid fundamentals, and predictable cash dividend capabilities, have become the preferred targets for large funds during the rebound phase. This preference is a key reason for their leading stock price performance.#AShareMarket #USIranCeasefire #CSI300 #ShanghaiCompositeIndex #ValuationRecovery #GeopoliticalTensions #Investment #HighQualityStocks #CapitalFlows #StockMarketRebound

🚀 U.S. President Signs GENIUS Act to Regulate Stablecoin Reserves
#GENIUSAct #stablecoin #regulation #USD #TreasuryBonds #interestpayments #bankloans #economicpolicy #Trump #financialregulation
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed the GENIUS Act, mandating stablecoin issuers to back their coins with high-quality assets at a minimum 1:1 ratio, such as U.S. dollars, short-term Treasury bonds, reverse repos, and money market funds. According to PANews, the act also prohibits direct interest payments to stablecoin holders.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers' model indicates that under baseline conditions, the prohibition on stablecoin yields could increase bank loans by approximately $2.1 billion, representing only 0.02% of total loans, with a net welfare cost of around $800 million. Large banks are expected to contribute about 76% of the new loans, while community banks would account for approximately 24%.
Even under extreme assumptions, such as reserves being entirely non-lendable cash and the Federal Reserve abandoning its current framework, the increase in bank loans would only be about 4.4%. The report suggests that the yield ban offers minimal protection for bank lending but could weaken the competitive benefits brought by stablecoins.#GENIUSAct #stablecoin #regulation #USD #TreasuryBonds #interestpayments #bankloans #economicpolicy #Trump #financialregulation
