Report: Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix leveraged ETFs face a reality check

The National District Attorneys Association, National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys, International Association of Chiefs of Police, and National Sheriffs’ Association jointly sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and White House on Tuesday, warning that Section 604 of the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act has serious law enforcement loopholes that could make it difficult for authorities to investigate and prosecute crypto-related crimes. The letter notes that Section 604 contains broad exemption clauses that could allow individuals or entities facilitating crypto asset transfers to evade regulatory accountability, undermining long-standing investigative and law enforcement authorities. The four organizations emphasized their concerns are not targeted at developers who merely write or publish software code, but rather at broad exemptions that could shield illegal activities. The core of the controversy is Section 604, also known as the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) provision. Originally a standalone bill, it was later incorporated into the Clarity Act, designed to provide a safe harbor for non-custodial developers by clarifying they are not money transmitters. Law enforcement groups argue this would create barriers to crypto crime investigations. Additionally, the letter points out that multiple other provisions of the bill would "reduce transparency, weaken accountability mechanisms, and create gaps in anti-money laundering frameworks." On the same day, nearly 100 Catholic leaders representing parishes across the U.S. also warned the bill could undermine protections against human trafficking. In response, White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt maintained the Clarity Act is a "regulation-friendly and law enforcement-friendly" bill, stressing the U.S. must proactively set standards or risk adopting rules dictated by other countries.

Binance Research’s latest report shows that the on-chain tokenized Real World Assets (RWA) market has surged 589% since the start of 2025, now topping $31.4 billion – up from $21.5 billion at the start of 2026, and roughly five times its size at the start of 2025. The main growth comes from bonds and money market funds, which together added around $6.5 billion, with an 83% increase. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, gold-backed assets, and tokenized listed stocks are the primary drivers of this expansion. Among these, tokenized stocks, while having a smaller base, have seen particularly robust growth, signaling that issuers are testing whether blockchain can support the circulation of a broader range of traditional securities assets. Analysts note that this RWA growth cycle differs from previous narratives in the crypto space, which centered on speculative trading or DeFi yields. It is more closely tied to traditional financial infrastructure, focusing on institutional needs like settlement efficiency, collateral liquidity, and programmable asset services. However, compared to the global bond, money market fund, and stock markets worth tens of trillions of dollars, $31.4 billion remains a negligible fraction. The report highlights that the key to the next phase of growth is not token issuance itself, but improvements in liquidity depth, legal enforceability, custody standards, and secondary market access. Regulatory frameworks remain the core bottleneck restricting further scale expansion.

According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the total trading volume of crypto market SPCX (SpaceX)-linked contracts reached $5.3 billion in the last trading session. Against the Nasdaq’s concurrent SpaceX trading volume of $23.9 billion, the crypto market’s SPCX volume equals roughly 22.1% of that, with an overall market share of 18%, and penetration continues to climb. Of this, Binance contributed around $3 billion in volume, while Trade.xyz added approximately $820 million. For Trade.xyz’s overall performance, its total daily trading volume hit $3.4 billion. Over the past week, its trading volume share across multiple traditional asset underlyings—including DRAM, SpaceX, SK Hynix, and CBRS—has hit new highs, each accounting for roughly 2% of the corresponding traditional market’s volume, reflecting a steady rise in on-chain traditional asset trading. Note: As crypto market transactions are contract-dominated, the actual trading scale may decrease when calculated on a de-leveraged basis.

Goldman Sachs’ latest report notes that the AI capital expenditure (capex) boom is driving Korea’s chip cycle with greater intensity and duration than expected, and the AI-fueled massive trade surplus will persist through the end of the year. The bank projects Korea’s full-year exports to exceed $1 trillion, with the current account surplus rising to 15% of GDP. On the U.S. front, a new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas shows that oil prices surging above $120 per barrel this spring trimmed U.S. economic output by roughly 0.3 percentage points, though the impact is far milder than similar oil shocks in the 1980s, reflecting the U.S. economy’s vastly improved resilience to oil price shocks. For the Eurozone, ING analysts point out that June PMI data still signals business activity in contraction territory, but the easing of inflation pressure from cooling energy prices is encouraging, with growth in input costs for both manufacturing and services slowing. Weak growth paired with fading inflation concerns will deter the European Central Bank from implementing large interest rate hikes. On the Australia front, Westpac has maintained its forecast for the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to raise rates in August, while warning that "second-round effects" from Middle East supply shocks are spreading: rising costs for fuel, transportation, and chemicals have started to spill over into more sectors beyond energy, wage cost pressures could further stoke inflation in the second half of 2026, and the withdrawal of policy support measures will also keep inflation risks lingering beyond the August policy meeting.
