ChainCatcher news, according to market sources, Chainlink, Apex Group, Bluprynt and Hacken have partnered with the Bermuda Monetary Authority to complete an embedded regulatory pilot that embeds compliance requirements directly into the digital asset infrastructure for real-time execution, replacing the traditional compliance model based on regular reporting and manual checks. Non-compliant transactions are blocked before settlement, and compliance metadata is retained in cross-chain transfers. Chainlink provides on-chain policy enforcement and reserve verification infrastructure, evaluates transactions through an automated compliance engine, and verifies off-chain collateral using proof-of-reserve tools. Bluprynt is responsible for issuer authentication and compliance certificate issuance. Apex Group acts as an independent administrator to provide certified reserve data from third-party hosts. Hacken provides real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and compliance alerting systems that generate alerts in milliseconds after a transaction is captured. The Bermuda Monetary Authority plans to extend the model to production deployments and multi-jurisdictional oversight frameworks.

ChainCatcher news, according to market news, Moon Kyung-ho, head of the income tax division of the Ministry of Finance and Economy of South Korea, said at a seminar on emergency inspection of virtual asset taxation that the government will tax virtual assets from January 1 next year as originally planned. This is the first time that the country's Ministry of Finance and Economy has publicly stated on the taxation of virtual assets. Under the current income tax law, income generated from the transfer or lending of virtual assets will be classified as other income, with a tax rate of 22% (20% other income tax plus 2% local income tax) applied to virtual asset income exceeding 2.5 million won. The tax is levied on about 13.26 million investors. Chief Moon revealed that the IRS is formulating relevant notices and has had multiple discussions with the five major virtual asset operators, and legislative notices are expected to be issued soon.

ChainCatcher news, Tom Lee said in an interview with CNBC today that although the U.S. stock market has reached a record high, the valuation of leading stocks (especially AI/semiconductor-related) is still reasonable. Tom Lee said that the forward price-earnings ratio of semiconductor/technology leading stocks is about 22 times, well below the historical high of the past 20 years. Demand in related industries is still exploding, so "there is room to rise, and the S&P 500 could reach 7700 or higher by the end of the year."

Ark Invest, a fund owned by Cathie Wood, recently bought Robinhood (HOOD) on a large scale. Nick Grous, research director of Ark Invest, posted on X today that trading income is inherently cyclical and highly affected by the market environment, and just staring at this data will miss the real big changes. Robinhood's most important story right now is its subscription service, Robinhood Gold, a mechanism that continuously pulls users deeper into the Robinhood ecosystem. As of the first quarter of this year, the penetration rate of the Gold service among deposited users has reached 15.8%, and 40% of new users will directly choose to subscribe to the Gold service when they sign up. In the long term, more and more Gold-exclusive services will form a more stable, sustainable, and less susceptible revenue base to market sentiment. This is the core story of Robinhood's evolution from a single brokerage platform to a "financial super app", and this flywheel is still in its very early stages. Previously, Robinhood's first-quarter earnings report released last month fell short of market expectations, and its stock price fell 13% in a single day, but Ark Invest bought the bottom during the decline, spending about $39.7 million to purchase more than 550,000 shares of HOOD, including the three flagship funds of ARKK, ARKW, ARKF, which are currently among the top six holdings of these three funds, accounting for about 3%.

AMD shares surged to a new all-time high on Wednesday, driving an overall rally in global semiconductor stocks as its strong outlook boosted investor confidence in the ongoing demand for AI infrastructure. Analysts and investors believe that AMD is a leader in challenging Nvidia's supremacy in the field of AI chips, and the company has also benefited from its focus on the CPU business. CPUs have taken on a significant role as businesses turn to agent AI—systems capable of performing autonomous functions—making the demand no longer limited to GPUs used to train large models. "Nvidia once held a monopoly position in the artificial intelligence chip market for two years, but now other companies are gradually catching up. At the same time, the continuous expansion of the market size also leaves room for future development. Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at Jones Trading, said. Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargraveson Langsden, said, "AMD's story is no longer just about competing with Nvidia on GPUs...... Instead, there is an increasing shift towards a broader range of computing encounters, as both CPUs and GPUs will play their respective roles as the demands of AI workloads increase. (Jin Shi)

According to ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin TAP protocol ecological project BIT (@dmt_bit_) has released a new roadmap, announcing that it will focus on the "Bitcoin security budget layer" narrative, flowing directly to Bitcoin miners through the issuance of tokens per block, as a new source of miner subsidies. The BIT team disclosed that only $NAT tokens of the TAP protocol currently enjoy a miner subsidy mechanism, and this mechanism is hardcoded in the protocol source code (only effective for dmt-nat tokens) and cannot be used by other DMT projects. The TAP protocol has not yet made third-party security audits public. BIT has submitted a code upgrade proposal to TAP hoping to open up the mechanism to all DMT tokens, but it was officially rejected by TAP. According to the roadmap, BIT will next develop a new protocol based on the TAP fork - any DMT token deployer can customize the token issuance rules and miner distribution methods (including distribution by mining pool weight, independent miner prize accumulation, mixed distribution, etc.) through a single inscription, and no longer set any project hard-coded privileges. A third-party security audit will be completed before the new protocol mainnet is launched. $BIT will serve as the native token of the new protocol, and the development of the protocol ecosystem will continue to empower $BIT.

According to ChainCatcher news, NEAR Protocol posted on the X platform that the team is adding post-quantum cryptography support to the network. NEAR's account model differs from Bitcoin and Ethereum, with accounts decoupled from cryptography and controlled by rotating access keys. The NEAR One team is adding the NIST-approved lattice-based signature-based FIPS-204 scheme as the first post-quantum signature option. Once launched, any NEAR account holder can rotate keys for a single transaction, achieving quantum security. NEAR is also working with software and hardware wallets to advance post-quantum support. With the Chain Signature feature, NEAR can provide threshold signatures for more than 35 chains, and the NEAR Intents team is developing a quantum-secure cross-chain signature scheme that provides a quantum-safe environment if other chains are slow to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Consensus mechanisms, validators, block synchronization, and transaction signatures also need to evolve for the post-quantum era, with the goal of achieving a one-time future-compatible migration.
