October 29th. Rimsky Lau, the Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, pointed out that virtual asset trading is becoming more and more active, and most trading is carried out through virtual asset trading platforms. Many investors will deposit their virtual assets on the exchange to obtain returns. In recent years, digital assets pegged to fiat currencies, which are called "stablecoins," have witnessed a rapid rise. Anyone who wishes to issue fiat currency stablecoins in Hong Kong or issue stablecoins claiming to be pegged to the value of the Hong Kong dollar in or outside Hong Kong must apply for a license from the Commissioner of Financial Management. Relevant parties must comply with regulations regarding reserve asset management, redemption, etc., including properly segregating customer assets and maintaining a sound stabilization mechanism.

January next year will be filled with challenges, with a large amount of data to be released one after another to determine whether another rate cut is necessary. Mary Daly, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and a FOMC voting member in 2027, stated that she supports a rate cut next month because she thinks the likelihood of a sudden deterioration in the labor market is greater than that of a sharp increase in inflation and is also more difficult to control. According to CME's "FedWatch," the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has increased to 82.7%, while the probability of keeping rates unchanged is 17.3%.
