Tether announced that Hyundai Motor America and Hyundai Motor Mexico have completed an enterprise cross-border settlement proof of concept (POC) on the Avalanche network via Axiym, marking Tether’s first enterprise cross-border fund settlement pilot. During the pilot, Hyundai Motor America converted $20,000 into USDT, transferred the funds cross-border to Hyundai Motor Mexico, which then converted the amount back to USD. The entire cross-border transfer and verification process took an average of just 7 minutes, a notable acceleration compared to traditional bank cross-border remittances, which typically take 3 to 4 hours or longer. Tether noted that the pilot demonstrates stablecoins’ application potential in enterprise cross-border payments, fund management, and global fund allocation. In the next phase, the project will explore additional cross-border payment channels and local currency settlement scenarios, further evaluating stablecoins’ use in enterprise treasury management.

US President Donald Trump said, “We are taking over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has nothing right now. Iran is not getting anything.”

Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Administration (PGSA) stated that passage through the Strait of Hormuz is currently not feasible due to recent hostile actions by the U.S. military. Once stability and calm are restored, all applications will be reviewed per the scheduled timeline, and the licensing process will resume. It emphasized that the only way to obtain passage permits is through its official website. (Jinshi)

According to a recent disclosure from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), former President Donald Trump earned over $1.4 billion last year from crypto projects led by his family, including World Liberty Financial and Trump-themed meme coins. Reuters analysis shows that by the end of 2025, Trump’s portfolio of traditional stocks and bonds had grown to a value of $703 million to $2.6 billion, a sharp increase from the $225 million to $608 million it held at the end of 2024. The report notes that proceeds from his crypto projects were subsequently allocated to traditional financial assets. Additionally, data indicates that as of April this year, retail investors participating in four crypto projects backed by Trump had suffered a total loss of approximately $2.3 billion. The White House responded that Trump’s related assets are managed under full discretionary authority by an independent third-party entity.

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that the company purchased an additional 18 Bitcoin (BTC) last week, totaling approximately $1.2 million in value at an average purchase price of roughly $64,028 per BTC, bringing the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 19,900 coins.

UK's Treasury has officially established a Wholesale Digital Market Tokenization Working Group, with 54 financial institutions including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and UBS joining. The group will drive the practical implementation of tokenization in UK financial markets over the next year, with its first phase focusing on tokenized repo applications. A report notes that the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market is projected to reach $88 trillion by 2035. The UK aims to leverage tokenization to boost financial market efficiency, and forecasts it will contribute around ￡33 billion in annual economic output and ￡14 billion in tax revenue growth by 2035. Chris Woolard, head of the Wholesale Digital Market at the UK Treasury, stated that global financial market tokenization is a "network effect competition", and the UK must advance relevant infrastructure as quickly as possible to maintain its competitiveness as an international financial center. Industry insiders argue that whether the future tokenization market can achieve cross-chain interoperability, real-time settlement, and the integration of stablecoins, tokenized deposits with traditional payment systems will be key to the sector's development.
