According to Odaily Planet Daily, Zeng Jizhi, Head of Financial and Strategic Clients for Standard Chartered Hong Kong, Greater China and North Asia, stated that Standard Chartered is studying the feasibility of establishing its own gold storage facility in Hong Kong and is considering different location options. If the plan is implemented, Hong Kong is expected to become Standard Chartered Group's first market with its own gold storage facility, and one of the few banks to do so. Currently, Standard Chartered already provides physical gold trading and related options financing services to its Commercial and Investment Banking (CIB) clients. If its own gold storage facility is established, it can extend its services to include a full range of gold trading services such as execution, settlement and warehousing. (Caixin)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that several founders, CEOs, and investors in the crypto industry recently sent a joint letter to Senate leadership, urging them not to weaken the protections for software developers in the Clarity Act. The letter states that removing these protections could lead to the loss of relevant technology developers in the United States. The US Congress is pushing for a formal regulatory framework for digital assets. The Senate Banking Committee has advanced the Clarity Act with bipartisan support, and the bill is currently preparing for a full Senate vote. A key component is the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA).
