The framework will cover supervision of virtual assets including cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. Tutuba noted the initiative aims to strengthen investor protection—especially for young investors participating in the crypto market—while mitigating risks from money laundering, terrorist financing and other illegal activities, and enhancing the central bank’s regulatory oversight over the digital asset market.

SK Hynix ADRs and its South Korea-listed common shares are set to open for two-way conversion by the end of this month, though the arbitrage trades individual investors had hoped for are unlikely to materialize. While the two instruments are interchangeable in principle, investors may not be able to convert them as freely as trading regular stocks. The Korea Securities Depository (KSD) said on the 16th that mutual conversion between SK Hynix ADRs and its South Korean common shares will be possible after the 29th, the scheduled listing date of the newly issued South Korean common shares. However, the actual conversion process is subject to multiple conditions. Conversion of South Korean common shares to ADRs can only be done within the ADR issuance limit set by the issuer. For instance, if the ADR issuance limit corresponds to 1 million common shares, and 900,000 shares have already been issued, only 100,000 shares are available for additional conversion. In contrast, converting ADRs back to South Korean common shares is not subject to a separate issuance limit. Industry insiders note that individual investors will struggle to use this as a practical investment strategy. Converting common shares to ADRs requires a separate application through a securities firm, and involves procedures such as foreign exchange conversion. Each securities firm handles the process differently, so conversion cannot be completed instantly via mobile or online trading systems like regular stocks. (Jinshi)

After ASML posted strong results in its latest earnings report and raised its guidance, multiple Wall Street firms have maintained optimistic outlooks, noting that the lithography giant remains one of the most critical equipment suppliers in the AI semiconductor expansion cycle. Bernstein kept an Outperform rating on ASML, with a target price of $2,623. The firm said ASML’s order momentum and customer demand remain robust, particularly for advanced processes, AI accelerators, HBM-related logic chips, and high-end wafer fab expansions—factors that continue to support demand for EUV and advanced lithography systems. Jefferies, UBS, Citigroup, Cantor, and other institutions also offered positive takes on ASML’s guidance. Some analysts argue the company’s current production capacity planning is still conservative. If TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and memory makers continue locking in capacity in advance for AI demand between 2027 and 2028, ASML’s subsequent order and revenue expectations still have room for upward revision. Market focus has shifted from "whether AI demand exists" to "whether production capacity can keep pace".
