💡News The Hong Kong Monetary Authority will implement the Basel capital rules for crypto assets on January 1, 2026, requiring banks to set the risk weight of crypto assets using unlicensed blockchain technology to a maximum of 1250%. This high regulatory capital requirement may lead many banks to be unwilling to hold such crypto assets.

Analysis: LP's Cautious Approach Due to LUNA and FTX Collapse May Lead to "Hollowing Out" of Mid-Sized Crypto Funds in the Future According to The Block, industry insiders revealed that since the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and FTX in 2022, the financing scale of cryptocurrency venture capital has shrunk sharply, as LPs have become more cautious, and cryptocurrency venture capital is now competing with ETFs and DATs for capital inflows. The Block Pro data shows that 329 funds raised more than $86.0 billion in 2022, but by 2023 this number plummeted to $11.2 billion, and in 2024 it fell to $7.95 billion. As of 2025, 28 funds have raised only $3.7 billion. Both the amount of financing and the number of funds are showing a sharp downward trend, reflecting LPs' stricter capital screening. Although family offices, wealthy individuals, and crypto-native funds are still actively supporting crypto venture capital, these institutions have largely withdrawn since 2022. In the future, small funds with less than $50.00 million in size and strong strength may have a chance to survive, and large funds like Paradigm and a16z will also survive, but mid-sized crypto funds may be "hollowed out" and eventually die out.

XRP ETF Could Be Approved in 60 Days, ETF Analyst Predicts Ahead of Final SEC Deadline

Techub News Evening News: Ethereum unstaking volume exceeds 910,000, Lee Chang-yong discusses the gradual introduction of Korean Won stablecoins from banks 1/Bitcoin plunges nearly $10,000 after hitting a new high. What happened in the market? Since the beginning of this year, the key to determining the market trend has been the US monetary policy. From this year's perspective, expectation regulation has been well reflected in the crypto market. Rising expectations of interest rate cuts lead to market increases, while falling expectations lead to market declines. Against this backdrop, whether to cut rates, by how much, and how to cut them have become the most concerning issues for market observers. 2/The Federal Reserve still maintains a tight monetary policy, and fiscal stimulus is gradually weakening, but risk assets continue to rise. What is the reason? Because capital gains driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and capital expenditure (Capex) in the top-level economy are being transmitted layer by layer, and Crypto Treasury Companies (TCos) have designed a new transmission mechanism to transform stock market frenzy into on-chain bidding.

The Bank of Korea president suggested the gradual introduction of a Korean won stablecoin, emphasizing the bank's leadership.

#DAOFriendsPleaseStay19 🎯 Topic: From Wall Street to On-chain: How does institutional capital reshape the rhythm of the crypto market? 🕗 Time: August 19 (Tuesday) 20:00 (UTC+8) 📎 Reservation: This year, with expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut growing, continued inflows of ETF funds, and the acceleration of Wall Street institutions' hoarding of cryptocurrencies, institutional capital has been entering the crypto market in unprecedented ways. This has not only driven changes in the pricing logic of core assets like BTC and ETH, but has also quietly influenced the pace of the altcoin season. The entry of institutions means that the crypto market is gradually becoming more deeply integrated with the global capital market. But will it lead to a long-term, stable positive cycle, or may it lead to a new normal of "increased volatility"? In this episode of "DAO Friends, Please Stay", we will work with our guests to: ✅ Deconstructing the logic and motivations behind the influx of institutional funds ✅ Exploring how capital flows affect the evolution of the altcoin season ✅ Looking ahead to the long-term landscape of the crypto market after institutional intervention 👑 Organizer: @HTX_DAO @HuobiGlobal 🎙 Host: DaDa @0x99DaDa 🗣 Special guest lineup: web3 monkey @web3houzi Late Autumn @WanQiu_web3 Mr&Strong @Mr_qiang777 Easonyew @easonyew Riconi @RiconiAlexander Rocky Benyi @zhangrocky68978 Jiuge@caiETH985985 📢 Officially supported: @HTX_Global @HTX_Live @HTXCommunity
