June 26 (Cointime) - Binance is turning its attention to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as it faces regulatory challenges in the US. Binance Dubai's general manager, Alex Chehade, said the UAE is a prime destination for crypto businesses due to its clear regulations and friendly stance towards digital assets. Chehade noted that the UAE's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) is a key driving force behind the surge of crypto-related interest in the region. The influx of young people moving to the UAE could also see the region more rapidly adopt crypto than other digital asset hubs.

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. -

US media: TSMC invests another $100 billion in the US; Trump still considers imposing tariffs on Taiwanese chips
Golden Finance reported that TSMC is investing another billion US dollars in the United States, but the US "Wired" magazine reported on the 4th that an informed source said that this move did not stop the Trump administration from considering imposing potential tariffs of up to 100% on TSMC and other Taiwanese chip factories. The source said that one plan is that the tax objects will not only be Taiwanese chips themselves, but also electronic products such as iPhones equipped with Taiwanese chips. According to Wired magazine, the White House and the US Department of Commerce did not immediately comment, and TSMC declined to comment. (Jinshi) -
Russia’s Ministry of Finance: No plans to add crypto assets to the investment structure of the National Welfare Fund
According to the International News Agency, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Vladimir Kolychev told reporters that the Russian Ministry of Finance does not plan to change the current investment structure of the National Welfare Fund, especially not to include crypto assets - the volatility of crypto assets is too high, and the current level of accumulation in the National Welfare Fund does not allow for consideration of high-risk investments. Kolychev stated that he has not heard of any discussions in Russia about creating a crypto currency strategic reserve similar to the Trump administration's plan. He said: "This is more of a central bank issue. Honestly, I have not heard of such discussions." Kolychev added that it is still too early to discuss the possibility of including crypto assets in the investment structure of the National Welfare Fund. -
