Abstract

美国总统特朗普签署行政令，要求美联储评估向非银行金融公司（包括加密货币及金融科技公司）开放央行支付系统准入的政策。此举旨在审视并可能放宽阻碍金融创新的现有规则，推动建立更公平的竞争环境。行政令核心指向“美联储主账户”，持有该账户的机构可直接使用包括Fedwire在内的大额美元支付系统。目前该权限基本限于传统银行，加密企业需依赖银行作为中介，导致效率低、成本高。行政令并非立即授权接入，而是要求美联储审查法律并明确申请流程。今年3月，堪萨斯城联储已为Kraken旗下实体批准了一个限制性专用账户，成为首例。此类账户允许进行美元支付清算，但不享受计息、信贷等银行完整权限，被视为可能的未来模板。Ripple、Coinbase、Circle等公司已为此做好准备，希望借此提升其稳定币等业务的清算效率与资金流动性。然而，美国银行业协会强烈反对，强调任何接入核心支付系统的机构都必须遵守与传统银行同等的严格监管标准，以防范金融风险。他们认为，在缺乏对等合规义务下放宽准入可能危及金融体系稳定。此举标志着加密行业争取融入主流金融基础设施的关键一步，后续发展将取决于监管审查结果及如何在促进创新与维护金融安全之间取得平衡。

美国总统特朗普正式施压美联储,要求重新审视美国金融领域极具争议的准入规则,围绕加密企业与金融科技公司能否直连央行支付系统的行业博弈再度升级。

5 月 19 日,特朗普签署一项行政命令,要求美联储评估其向非银行金融公司(包括从事数字资产、区块链服务和其他金融科技业务的公司)授予支付账户访问权限的政策。

这份名为《将金融科技创新纳入监管框架》的行政令,要求各大联邦监管机构梳理现有规则,剔除阻碍金融创新的冗余监管条款。

该政令并非立刻赋予加密企业直连美联储支付渠道的权限,然而,它明确授权美联储审查现有法律是否允许更广泛的接入,如果允许,则应明确申请流程。

此次审查结果至关重要,将直接决定 Kraken、Ripple、Coinbase、Circle、Anchorage、Wise、Paxos、BitGo 等企业能否减少对中间银行的依赖,进一步接近美元大额清算核心金融基建。

美联储主账户开放迎来政策风向转变

本次行政令的核心指向美联储主账户,拥有该账户的机构可直接使用美联储全套支付服务,其中就包括银行间大额美元转账系统联储电汇系统(Fedwire)。

按照美联储现行规则,这类账户原则上仅面向存款类银行机构开放。为此不少加密企业只能辗转申请特殊目的银行牌照、全国信托银行牌照,以此谋求直连资格。

特朗普此次下令,要求美联储全面复盘央行支付账户的准入规则,同时明确 12 家地区联储是否具备独立审批、驳回机构开户申请的法定权限。

今年 3 月堪萨斯城联储率先为 Kraken 母公司 Payward 批复限制性专用支付账户,成为行业首个先例,也让这一权限开放议题变得愈发紧迫。

除此之外,政令还要求监管层全面排查金融科技行业发展壁垒,涵盖牌照审批规则、第三方风险管理指引,以及制约银行与科技企业跨界合作的相关政策。

美国参议员 Cynthia Lummis 对此表示,新政是对金融科技行业长期准入受限局面的修正。传统老牌金融机构独享核心支付通道资源,而新兴科技企业长期被排挤在外,此番政令旨在打造公平竞争环境、激发行业活力,同时降低大众支付成本。

Coinbase 首席法务官 Paul Grewal 也对此举表示支持,他认为现行支付准入规则与第三方风控准则早已滞后,偏袒传统金融巨头、压制行业创新,监管层面亟需完成规则革新。

这也道出了加密行业的普遍诉求:能否接入央行核心支付网络,已然成为行业发展的竞争壁垒。无法直连的企业只能依托银行中转,不仅拉高运营成本、延缓清算效率,还会额外承担合作银行自身的经营风险。

Kraken 为加密货币公司提供了一个可行的模式

Kraken 为业界提供了一个扩大准入范围的实际例子。今年 3 月,堪萨斯城联储为旗下金融业务主体 Kraken Financial 发放专用账户资质,可接入美元大额清算核心支付通道,助力平台更高效处理机构用户存取款业务,尤其便于大额资金在交易平台、托管机构与合作银行之间快速流转。

不过该账户权限存在明确限制:无法享受普通参保银行的全部金融服务,不计备付金利息,也不能动用美联储信贷工具。

这类限制性设计,既能降低央行系统性风险,又能让加密企业适度对接主流支付基建,未来大概率成为监管层推行的通用模板。即向企业开放美元转账清算权限,同时严格屏蔽透支借贷、准备金计息、应急流动性救助等高敏感金融权限。

Custodia 银行首席执行官 Caitlin Long 对此新政表示欢迎。该机构多年来一直争取接入美联储系统,却在 2023 年遭到驳回,美联储当时判定其主打加密资产的经营模式不符合法定准入要求,这也印证了此前持牌加密机构想要全面对接央行体系难度极大。

而 Kraken 限制性账户的落地,彻底扭转了监管态度。监管不再只有「全面开放」和「彻底拒绝」两种选择,可通过分级权限模式,在筑牢风控底线的前提下,逐步引导加密企业融入主流支付体系。

Ripple、Coinbase 和 Circle 已为下一阶段做好准备

Ripple、Coinbase、Circle 是此次政策放宽最直接的受益方。Ripple 早已递交美联储主账户申请,积极支持推行轻量化限制性账户机制,让非银机构便捷使用基础支付服务,同时不触碰央行核心金融权限。

一旦顺利落地,将极大推动旗下 RLUSD 稳定币业务,实现储备资金调拨、用户赎回业务高效运转。对于稳定币发行方而言,储备金清算效率与资金兑付稳定性直接决定市场信心,直连或限制性接入美联储账户,能够大幅摆脱银行中转束缚,在集中赎回、市场波动时期更灵活调度美元流动性。

Coinbase 与 Circle 依托 USDC 稳定币业务及自身支付生态,同样有着强烈的接入需求。两家机构已搭建联邦信托银行架构,既能进一步纳入联邦统一监管体系,也为申请美联储支付账户铺平道路。

与此同时,其他公司也在排队等候。Anchorage Digital 已是联邦特许加密银行;Paxos、BitGo、富达数字资产也相继拿下货币监理署核发的全国信托银行相关资质。这类资质虽不能直接兑换美联储支付账户权限,但大幅拉近了企业与合规准入标准的距离。

行业实际需求清晰明确:加密交易所追求法币极速清算,稳定币发行方希望自主管控储备资金,资产托管机构力求优化机构客户资金流转效率,支付企业则急于摆脱对跨境清算行的高度依赖。

Galaxy Digital 研究主管 Alex Thorn 直言,并非只有吸储放贷类银行机构才有资格开展电汇转账业务,这只是现代监管划定的门槛,而非金融行业亘古不变的准则。如今多方势力入局角逐,传统银行实则是在竭力守住支付行业垄断地位。行业普遍观点认为,支付通道准入资格,理应依据企业业务属性、合规监管力度与风控能力判定,而非死守传统银行经营模式。

传统银行警告:准入必须符合银行级标准

面对行业开放呼声,美国银行业协会明确亮出反对立场。协会认为,但凡开展类银行业务的机构,都必须执行与传统银行完全一致的严苛监管标准与消费者权益保护规则。

银行业协会首席执行官 Rob Nichols 公开表态:「若无法做到全行业统一高标准监管,整个金融体系与普通消费者都将直面风险。针对此次白宫金融创新行政令,我们呼吁监管部门在推动创新的同时,坚守金融体系安全稳健的底线,不可放宽准入门槛。」

这也是银行界的核心顾虑。直连美联储支付系统绝非单纯业务权限,背后配套着高强度监管、存款保险制度、资本充足率考核、流动性管控与常态化业务审查等多重硬性约束。在银行看来,仅持有轻量化牌照、业务范围受限的加密企业,在缺乏对等合规义务与风控能力的前提下接入核心支付网络,极易埋下系统性风险。

美联储电汇系统是全球美元清算的核心枢纽,接入机构一旦出现网络攻击、运营故障、合规漏洞或是流动性危机,造成的清算中断影响范围将远超企业自身业务范畴。同时银行在反洗钱、用户资金监控、可疑交易上报等合规领域投入巨大成本,监管层也需确认加密企业具备同等合规能力,才能允许其同时涉足交易、资产托管、稳定币发行与支付等多元业务。

流动性分流同样是银行担忧的痛点。一旦稳定币发行方、金融科技企业可借助美联储体系高效留存、调拨资金,大概率会分流传统银行体系内的存量资金。

美联储提出的限制性账户规则,通过取消计息、信贷等权益,一定程度上缓解了这类担忧,但银行业依旧不会轻易默许这场行业格局变革。

虽然专用限制性账户能够借助权限划分规避大部分风险,但也催生了全新监管命题:非银机构在获取多少支付业务权限后,其业务属性就等同于正式银行?这也将成为后续监管划定准入边界的核心争议点。

Can SK Hynix's Stock Double Again in This Rally?

The article discusses the highly optimistic price target of approximately $3,500 for SK Hynix stock, set by Aletheia Capital. This target is significantly above the consensus range of $2,000-$2,520 from major brokerages. The core debate is whether SK Hynix deserves a fundamental re-rating beyond its traditional cyclical discount, based on the long-term impact of AI-driven demand. The $3,500 target hinges on three key assumptions holding simultaneously until at least 2027: 1) Continued shortage and high pricing for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), a critical component for AI chips; 2) Sustained high prices for standard DRAM, as HBM production consumes capacity and constrains general supply; and 3) Strong AI server demand generating substantial, above-expectation free cash flow. SK Hynix's leading ~58% market share in HBM and its early certification with key clients like Nvidia provide a competitive advantage, allowing it to capture significant supply chain premiums. The HBM shortage is seen not just as a niche growth driver but as a catalyst that amplifies profitability across the entire memory business by tightening overall DRAM supply. However, the article cautions that this target represents an optimistic "tail scenario." Key risks include potential supply increases from competitors (Samsung, Micron) by 2027, a possible slowdown in HBM price growth, and high capital expenditures that could erode the projected free cash flow. The divergence in analyst targets reflects the market's uncertainty over whether the current AI-driven boom will temporarily elevate earnings or permanently raise the memory industry's profit baseline.

HIP-3's Watershed Moment: After Trade.XYZ Swallows 90% of the Market, Multiple Players Exit One After Another

HIP-3 on Hyperliquid, enabling permissionless market creation, has fueled rapid growth with over $300 billion in cumulative trading volume. However, the ecosystem is undergoing a sharp consolidation. Trade.XYZ has captured a dominant market share, exceeding 90% of trading volume and 97% of open interest, driven by its first-mover advantage, use of USDC, and rapid asset expansion. This has created a significant liquidity flywheel effect, leaving other projects struggling. Several have recently shut down, including Felix and Ventuals, citing unsustainable competition and the high costs of market deployment. The initial 500,000 HYPE staking requirement (worth ~$35.9M) and subsequent auction costs for new assets present a high barrier to entry. Analysis shows most deployers face low annual yields and multi-year cost recovery periods, unlike Trade.XYZ's estimated 74% yield and 5-month payback. This centralization risks stifling innovation and limiting Hyperliquid's ecosystem diversity beyond perpetual contracts. Proposed solutions include a tiered exchange model with lower entry barriers and adjustments to the fee-sharing model for new markets to improve sustainability for smaller players.

Has the Cryptocurrency Market Hit Bottom? Here's What Institutions Think

"Has the crypto market bottomed out? Major institutions are divided on the outlook, according to a recent analysis by Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise. Three prominent research firms published in-depth reports on the topic with differing conclusions. Galaxy Digital argues Bitcoin has not yet found its bottom, pointing to only 4 out of 13 historical bottoming indicators being met. Their analysis suggests a potential bottom range of $30,000 to $54,000. NYDIG adopts a more cautious stance, noting that while metrics are close to historical bear market lows, a classic panic-selling capitulation event is missing. They acknowledge the possibility of a bottom but consider it unlikely, citing structural changes from institutional adoption. In contrast, Standard Chartered Bank asserts the bottom is already in at around $59,000. Their revised bullish view, predicting a year-end target of $100,000, hinges on anticipated reductions in ETF selling pressure linked to events like a potential SpaceX IPO. Despite the surface-level disagreement on the exact price floor, the reports share significant common ground crucial for long-term investors. All three institutions agree that a market bottom will likely form within the current year, that current prices are closer to the bottom than to previous cycle highs, and that Bitcoin is poised for another major bull cycle in the future. The core takeaway is that while the precise bottom level remains debated, the long-term value proposition for Bitcoin remains strong and may even be strengthening. Key supportive trends include rising global debt, persistent inflation, declining trust in traditional institutions, accelerating digitization, and improving market infrastructure. Therefore, for investors with a long-term horizon, the focus should shift from pinpointing the exact bottom to recognizing that the cycle's peak is likely still ahead, making current levels an attractive entry point for substantial potential upside."

2029 Finale Prediction: When Cryptocurrency Completely "Vanishes", Who Can Remain in This Financial Upheaval?

By 2029, the crypto industry will have transformed into a largely invisible but foundational layer for traditional finance. This timeline outlines the key shifts from now until then. By mid-2026, the most sought-after assets on-chain will not be traditional tokens, but synthetic perpetual contracts for private, high-growth companies (like SpaceX, OpenAI). These become primary price discovery tools, highlighting the market's craving for real-world asset value. Most altcoins enter a sustained bear market as their fundamental lack of asset-backed value is exposed. In late 2026, the "AI + Crypto" narrative largely fades as AI giants prove they don't need crypto infrastructure, except for prediction markets betting on model performance. Simultaneously, a quiet but significant wave of tokenization for institutional assets (money market funds, private credit) begins. The industry splits into a noisy speculative economy and a silent institutional one. Throughout 2027, major public blockchain foundations pivot decisively to serve institutional clients, building compliance toolkits and sales teams. However, key sectors hit growth ceilings: private perpetual contracts are legally restricted from public promotion, stable币 growth is capped by looming political uncertainty, and tokenization projects remain cautious. In 2028, following a U.S. election assumed to maintain a regulatory (not prohibitive) stance, a pivotal change occurs. After a major liquidation crisis exposes the flaws of synthetic contracts lacking a real-asset anchor, new regulations allow the *public solicitation* of private security sales (secondary market shares) to accredited investors. This creates a legitimate, direct on-ramp for retail capital into previously illiquid private equity. By 2029, the resulting bull market is driven by trading in real, innovative company shares (biotech, robotics, AI labs), not speculative tokens. "Crypto" as a distinct asset class recedes; it becomes the mundane, unseen plumbing for this new global private markets infrastructure. Tokens that survive are those capturing real cash flows from this infrastructure. Speculation persists but is marginalized. The core questions posed at the start are answered: token value is tied to legally enforceable claims on real assets, frontier tech adoption happens via private market channels, and crypto's absorption into traditional finance is marked by its becoming boring and invisible. The key validation for this entire thesis is whether, by late 2028, a legal pathway exists for ordinary accredited investors to access private assets directly.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
