ME News, May 3 (UTC+8) — Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) proposed Draft General Resolution No. 1137, suggesting improvements to its regulations on RWA tokenization and expanding their scope to allow more types of financial instruments to operate using distributed ledger technology in the country. Before this announcement, the existing legal framework only allowed specific financial instruments to be digitally represented. The current 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 to December 31, 2027. This controlled experimental environment is crucial for fintech companies, as it allows them to test new business models related to digital currencies and Bitcoin technology without being fully constrained by traditional regulatory frameworks, thereby enabling regulators to, in num

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 caps on tokenized reserve assets; the agency had 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 on 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.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security signed a one-year, $95 million no-bid contract with TRM Labs to provide cryptocurrency tracing software and data analysis personnel, assisting the White House in combating crypto scams and cybercrime targeting Americans.

The U.S. government said TRM was the only vendor capable of providing the complete technical, data, and operational support required.

ME News, May 3 (UTC+8), Buffett candidly said in an interview that the current investment environment is not ideal, and high market prices are one of the main reasons he is staying on the sidelines. He also acknowledged that as he grows older, the proportion of industries he can deeply understand is smaller than it was 10 years ago------he no longer expects to have an advantage in fields mastered by young people who have grown up alongside new technologies. Nevertheless, he emphasized that Berkshire is capable of making quick decisions and can take on deals of any size; it is simply waiting for the right opportunity. Buffett said the most likely time to buy is when everyone else stops answering the phone. Over his 60-year career, there may have been only five truly “juicy” years. He recalled the real Wall Street ecosystem during market crashes: everyone boasted about their excellent trading departments. But when the market crashed, trying again was...

ME News reported on May 3 (UTC+8) that CryptoQuant Head of Research Julio Moreno stated in a report that Bitcoin’s price increase in April mainly relied on demand for perpetual futures contracts rather than growth in spot market demand. In his view, this phenomenon typically occurs during bear markets and is difficult to sustain over the long term. Moreno emphasized that increased futures demand and reduced spot demand are a clear signal in on-chain metrics, indicating that this rally is more speculative, with leverage serving as the main driver of the price increase rather than an inflow of new capital. He warned that historically, this type of demand structure is unlikely to support a sustained rise, and prices typically pull back if futures positions are unwound. CryptoQuant added that the current demand pattern resembles the situation at the beginning of the 2022 bear market and carries significant downside risk. (Source: MLion)

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

Intel and Qualcomm fell nearly 3%, AMD and Meta dropped more than 2%, while Tesla, Alibaba, and NVIDIA declined nearly 2%. The core factor weighing on the market was the simultaneous rise in oil prices and global bond yields. Brent crude broke above $92 per barrel intraday, as the market worried that tensions in the Middle East and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would push up energy prices and inflation, further strengthening expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes. Currently, CME's "FedWatch" shows that the probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike in September to 3.75%-4.00% has risen to 66%. Bank of America technical strategist Paul

U.S. job openings rose to 7.27 million in July, above the revised 7.18 million and the forecast of 7.31 million. The market remains characterized by low hiring and low layoffs, with employers cautious about expanding their workforces amid geopolitical and inflationary pressures but reluctant to lay off workers. The increase in openings was mainly driven by manufacturing, state and local government (excluding education), health care, and social assistance; layoffs fell to a new low for the year, while the quits rate declined to 1.9%.
