On September 1, Strategy wrote to MSCI to oppose the proposal to exclude “non-operating companies” from global investable market indexes, calling the move misguided and discriminatory. Strategy described itself as an operating company, saying its Bitcoin business is reported as an operating segment, that it has approximately 1,500 employees, and that it is committed to creating shareholder value through Bitcoin. It warned that although the proposal would have a limited impact on its business, it would undermine MSCI’s neutrality. Strategy also said that Bitcoin does not need MSCI. Source: PANews

ME News, May 3 (UTC+8), Buffett candidly said in an interview that the current investment environment is not ideal, with high market prices being one of the main reasons he is staying on the sidelines. He also acknowledged that, as he has aged, the proportion of industries he can deeply understand is smaller than it was 10 years ago—for fields in which young people who grew up alongside new technologies excel, he no longer expects to have an edge. Despite this, he emphasized that Berkshire has the ability to make quick decisions and can handle transactions of any size; it is simply waiting for the right opportunity. Buffett said the most likely time to buy is when everyone else is refusing to answer the phone. Over his 60-year career, there may have been only five truly “lucrative” years. He recalled the actual Wall Street ecosystem during market crashes: everyone bragged about their excellent trading divisions. But when the market crashed, try again.

ME News, May 3 (UTC+8) — 10x Research founder Markus Thielen posted on X that Bitcoin has currently moved above its 7-day and 30-day moving averages, with both short- and medium-term trends remaining bullish. Bitcoin has gained 1.1% over the past week, while news of continued institutional buying and large companies continuing to add Bitcoin to their treasuries has further boosted market confidence. However, affected by the historical pattern of “selling on positive news,” the market subsequently entered a brief consolidation. Markus Thielen’s analysis suggests that, with Bitcoin dominance holding above 60%, some altcoins are quietly forming bottoms amid fundamental catalysts, especially privacy coins and

ME News, August 31 (UTC+8), Lido posted an introduction to ValOS (Validator Operations Standard), a community-led framework designed to provide node operators in the Ethereum staking ecosystem with unified operational standards, helping them identify, assess, and reduce operational risks involved in running validator infrastructure. ValOS builds on the previously launched DUCK initiative, which produced resources including a risk framework, risk mitigation and controls library, and communications toolkit for node operators to use in risk assessments, incident response planning, and stakeholder communications. On this basis, ValOS introduces dedicated organizational and governance structures, with the goal of developing into a recognized standard capable of supporting professional audits, assurance reviews, and industry benchmarks. To promote the adoption and implementation of ValOS, Lido DAO will use its ecosystem grants program LEGO (Lido

ME News, August 31 (UTC+8), reported that Blockchain Association posted on X to rebut large banks’ claim to Congress that stablecoins would cause community bank deposits to flow out, arguing that the claim lacks evidentiary support, while evidence that large banks have continuously eroded community banks’ share of deposits over the past decades is clearly reflected in FDIC data. According to FDIC data as of 2023, non-community banks (i.e., large banks) held at least 87% of U.S. domestic deposits, while community banks held just 13%; the combined deposit share of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America alone was more than 1.5 times that of the entire community banking industry. Blockchain Association pointed out that the “GENIUS

The SEC is increasing scrutiny of the companies behind SPVs, requiring registered investment advisors to provide evidence that the SPVs actually hold shares of the private companies they claim to own. Reports say that before the SpaceX IPO and Anthropic’s listing, these funds ramped up marketing and investor complaints increased, prompting regulators to intensify their reviews. The process typically includes document requests, and in some cases on-site interviews, with reviews potentially lasting from several weeks to a year.

Bitcoin Core v32 completed its feature freeze on August 20 and is expected to be officially released in October.

It does not involve any network-layer protocol changes.

ME News, September 1 (UTC+8) — Anza announced that it is gradually removing floating-point operations from Solana’s core protocol. The first improvement, SIMD-0391, was activated on Mainnet Beta in epoch 1026, replacing floating-point operations with fixed-point operations in the Stake Program’s and validator clients’ warm-up and cooldown logic. The second improvement, SIMD-0607, has been proposed and entered review, targeting the runtime itself to remove floating-point operations from inflation rewards and rent calculation paths. Anza stated that floating-point operations on different hardware, validator clients, and compilers may produce different rounding results, potentially leading to consensus divergence and network liveness risks. The two improvements will eliminate the related risks through standardized fixed-point operations, and floating-point operations in other paths will continue to be addressed.(

ME News, September 1 (UTC+8) — U.S. President Trump said U.S. GDP growth could reach 14%, 15%, 16% or even 20%, and that even if the economy achieved such rapid growth, it should not be a reason for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. He said, “The success of growth will not cause inflation,” and called for the United States to have “the lowest interest rates in the world.” The U.S. PCE price index rose 3.7% year-on-year in July, still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target, while the market currently generally expects the FOMC may raise interest rates in September. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis show that since 1947, U.S. real GDP quarter-on-quarter annualized growth has reached or exceeded 20% only once: the 34.9% rebound in the third quarter of 2020 after pandemic lockdowns ended. U.S. real GDP in the second quarter of 2026 G

ME News, May 3 (UTC+8), ME News, May 3 (UTC+8), BlackRock submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), opposing several reserve asset restrictions proposed by the agency in the draft implementing rules for the GENIUS Act. BlackRock urged the OCC not to impose quantitative limits on tokenized reserve assets; the agency had previously proposed a possible cap of 20%. BlackRock said such a restriction was “unrelated” to the OCC’s objectives, arguing that the risk profile depends on credit quality, duration, and liquidity, “rather than whether the assets are held or transferred on a distributed ledger.” BlackRock also urged the OCC to explicitly confirm whether ETFs that invest solely in eligible reserve assets, such as Treasury ETFs, qualify as reserves under Section 4 of the GENIUS Act.

ME News reported on May 3 (UTC+8) that 10x Research founder Markus Thielen posted on X, stating that Bitcoin has currently risen above its 7-day and 30-day moving averages, with both short- and medium-term trends remaining bullish.

ME News reported that on May 3 (UTC+8), Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) proposed Draft General Resolution No. 1137, which would improve its regulations on RWA tokenization and expand their scope, allowing more types of financial instruments to operate using distributed ledger technology in the country. Before the announcement, the existing legal framework only allowed specific financial instruments to be digitally represented. The proposed resolution removes this restriction, allowing any closed-end mutual fund with authorization for an automatic public offering to migrate to a digital asset format. In addition, the resolution extends the regulatory sandbox period through December 31, 2027. This controlled testing environment is crucial for fintech companies, enabling them to test new business models related to digital currencies and Bitcoin technology without being fully constrained by traditional regulatory frameworks, thereby allowing regulators to better understand developments in the digital-asset sector.
