Odaily Planet Daily News Greeks.live Adam, a macro researcher, said in an article on the X platform that the trading activity of bitcoin is now significantly affected by the trading hours of U.S. stocks, and the trading activity is poor on weekends, and the market is relatively sluggish. Today's block trades are almost all traded in a combination of spreads, with the most traded bullish spreads, followed by selling bearish bear spreads, and the market sentiment of mainstream coins has been relatively stable in recent days. Today's only two large trades of more than $20 million, one side is bullish above 70,000 and the other is bearish below 65,000, which can be said to be tit-for-tat. At present, the trend is weak, IV is still in the high range, and the profit and loss ratio of selling is starting to increase.

Golden Finance reported that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority today set up a central bank digital currency (CBDC) expert group and signed memorandums of understanding with five local universities. Academics from the five universities will participate in the research work of the panel and members will participate in their individual capacities. The Panel also brings together experts in a wide range of disciplines related to the HKMA's CBDC research work, including business, computer science, economics, finance and law. The HKMA said it hopes to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange with academia in CBDC research through the establishment of an expert panel that will assist the HKMA in researching major policy and technical issues, as well as provide advice and training to the HKMA on fintech-related issues and organise seminars. The five local universities participating in the panel included Chinese University, City University, Polytechnic University, University of Science and Technology and The University of Hong Kong. The HKMA said it would consider inviting overseas university scholars to participate in the future. The panel has begun working on two research papers, the first on privacy issues in CBDCs and the second on CBDC interoperability. Mr Lee Tat-chee, Deputy Managing Director of the HKMA, said that the collaboration would discuss key policy and technical issues for CBDCs at wholesale and retail levels, and the expert panel would play an important role in helping Hong Kong consolidate its position in CBDC research.
