Multiple private equity firms on the Chinese mainland have received notices to suspend new cross-border TRS transactions.

2 hours ago

Multiple private equity professionals in mainland China revealed that they received notices from their partner securities firms last night, with regulators requiring a halt to new additions to cross-border TRS (Total Return Swap) positions by fund managers. According to public information, TRS is a financial derivative that allows private equity firms to enter into return swap agreements with counterparty securities firms to gain exposure to the returns (or losses) of overseas assets without directly holding those assets (i.e., principal remains onshore). Since the start of this year, driven by strong performance in the global tech sector, many private equity firms have allocated overseas assets via cross-border TRS. Since May, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and seven other government departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Rectification of Illegal Cross-Border Securities, Futures and Fund Operations", taking tough measures against leading cross-border internet brokerages including Tiger Brokers, Futu Holdings and Longbridge. As the space for mainland Chinese residents to trade stocks cross-border illegally has shrunk, private equity products using cross-border TRS to allocate overseas tech assets have drawn increasing capital attention. Multiple private equity professionals said: "The relevant notice came quite suddenly, and some product strategies may see certain adjustments in the short term. We are currently waiting for further detailed regulations on cross-border TRS quotas."

Wintermute: Bitcoin may drop to $59,000 in the short term as market liquidity continues to tighten.

Wintermute’s over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk noted in a report that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are gradually testing the lower boundary of their recent trading ranges, with BTC potentially retracing to around $59,000 in the short term. Options market pricing indicates BTC’s short-term expected trading range is $61,242–$63,563, while ETH’s is $1,606–$1,694, with implied volatility of roughly 1.9% and 2.7% respectively. The current market structure is weak, with no new buying inflows into ETFs. Summer liquidity declines, combined with macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, have increased asset correlations and led to convergent price movements. It identifies $59,000 as a key support level, and notes that this week will see critical event-driven factors including Federal Reserve inflation data and month-end option expirations.

CryptoQuant founder advises Strategy to suspend cryptocurrency purchases until cash reserves and dividend coverage are restored.

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju has published an article bluntly stating that Strategy’s current Bitcoin purchases function more as a liquidity absorber than a price catalyst. Over the past two years, Bitcoin’s realized market cap has surged by $467 billion, yet its price has dropped by 1%. Even with hundreds of billions in inflows, ongoing trading activity has failed to lift prices. Ki Young Ju notes that in the current environment of sharply rising selling pressure, Strategy’s buying is focused more on defending a price range than driving a breakout. Worse, continuous purchases may hinder a market-clearing deep correction, instead providing more holders with liquidity to take profits. Comparing the current cycle to the classic Bitcoin sequence of crash, capitulation, weak hands exiting, and whales reaccumulating, the market has spent nearly two years in a wide sideways range—neither strong enough to confirm a new bull market nor weak enough to trigger real capitulation. This has left weak hands unable to fully exit and strong hands failing to actively reaccumulate, meaning the market may need a full reset to build a stronger recovery. Ki offered three recommendations to Saylor: First, pause Bitcoin purchases until cash reserves and dividend coverage are restored; Second, establish a systematic, model-driven buying framework to change the market’s perception that Strategy always buys at local peaks; Third, build a disciplined selling framework for the next bull market—selling a portion near cycle highs is not betraying Bitcoin, but deleveraging, realizing shareholder value, and creating ammunition to reaccumulate at lower prices. This is not trading, but risk management.
