Crypto-friendly securities platform UMX, incubated by Avenir Group, announced its official launch and full open registration. Since the public beta kicked off on August 10, UMX has collected 788 product feedbacks, with 89 demands incorporated into the official version, completing a practical validation round rooted in real use scenarios and user needs. It is reported that UMX stems from the cross-asset management practice of Li Lin’s family office team. To break down barriers between crypto assets and securities, UMX has built a unified trading system covering all categories of Hong Kong and U.S. stocks as well as crypto assets. The platform adopts cross-asset unified margin, flexible transfers, and the industry-first "hold-assets-for-credit" stock purchasing mechanism, enabling users to directly access purchasing power for Hong Kong and U.S. stocks without selling their crypto assets, realizing the function of "buying stocks via credit based on held assets". During the launch period, UMX is running a "Grand Opening Triple Rewards" campaign: users who meet wealth management targets will receive the latest iPhone Duo, earn UMX points for trading activities, and new users can get up to 100 USDT in bonus rewards.

Mizuho Bank, MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), MUFG Trust Bank, and TISI announced that they have completed a joint multi-bank stablecoin issuance and cross-border payment pilot program from July 17 to 23, 2026. The project is supported by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA)’s Fintech Pilot Center Payment Innovation Program (PIP). The three banks acted as co-principals, with MUFG Trust Bank serving as trustee. Under the trust agreement, the stablecoin was issued as a specific trust beneficial right per Japan’s Funds Settlement Act, using cross-border settlements between Mitsubishi Corporation’s Japanese and overseas bases as the use case to verify regulatory compliance and operational feasibility. All parties confirmed the system’s security and the viability of the multi-bank issuance model, and completed end-to-end verification of the stablecoin’s issuance, transfer, and redemption processes. The three banks previously stated plans to launch live transactions within the 2026 fiscal year, and established a joint discussion committee. With deposits as reserves and circulation limited to bank-verified users as core design premises, they will continue advancing the implementation of stablecoins and on-chain finance.

Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that short-term holders currently hold approximately 4.08 million bitcoin, the highest level since mid-June. Since the July 29 low, this holding has risen by around 422,000 units, a 12% increase. Of that total, some 154,000 bitcoin were added in the first two weeks of October, and a further 48,000 in the past week. He added that most new buyers entered the market in the $82,000 to $86,000 range. As of press time, the average cost basis for short-term holders stands at roughly $74,900, with their unrealized profit buffer narrowing from about 16% to around 10%. Adler noted that $74,900 is the breakeven point for this group, and bitcoin prices have remained above this cost level since August 20. A drop below this threshold would push the group into overall unrealized losses, potentially intensifying selling pressure.
