币界网报道:

香港警方拘捕三名人士,他们涉嫌向一名商人提供三捆1000港元伪钞,骗取311万港元,价值约39.9万美元的加密资产。

据报道,警方在上周对旺角办事处的突击搜查中没收了10978张1000港元的假钞,该办事处是欺诈交易的发生地。

加密货币欺诈案

一位消息人士告诉《南华早报》,这位44岁的商人在弥敦道被展示了三捆看似1000港元的钞票,然后被指示将311万港元的Tether USDT稳定币转移到指定的数字钱包。

一位知情人士表示:,

“除了放在每捆钞票顶部和底部的两张真钞外,其他都是假钞,被称为训练钞。”

消息人士还提到,该商人要求检查钞票。然而,两名似乎是办公室员工的被告拒绝了,称他们没有通过电话收到商店经理的指示。在发现行为可疑后,受害者报警。

被告是一名24岁的男子和一名42岁的女子。除上述两名男子外,香港警方其后在该办事处发现伪钞,并拘捕另一名男子。三人因涉嫌以欺骗手段获取财产和持有假钞而被拘留。

香港涉及加密货币交易的欺诈案件激增。事实上,警方在另外三起涉及加密货币交易的欺诈案件中查获了1693份“培训笔记”。

加密欺诈增加迫使香港提高技能

香港已成为亚洲主要的加密货币中心。然而,在吸引资本的同时,这个城市国家也经历了欺诈活动的增加,这迫使当局提高了他们的技能。专家指出,香港在处理加密货币方面积累了丰富的执法经验,使当局能够有效追踪涉及数字资产的洗钱活动。

与此同时,香港证券及期货事务监察委员会(证监会)加强了对可疑加密货币实体的监督。本月早些时候,证券监管机构对在该地区非法运营的七个加密货币交易平台发出警告,这些平台没有适当的许可证。

自2020年1月以来,香港证监会一直保持着一份警报名单,目前包括39个条目。仅在2024年,就有28家加密货币交易所被标记。最新上榜的有Taurusemex、Yomaex、Bitones.org、BTEPRO、CEG、XTCQT和Bstorest。

SpaceX Faces Heavy Selling After IPO Followed by Massive Bond Issue 'Angers' the Market

Following a record-breaking IPO, SpaceX's massive $25 billion bond issuance faced fierce selling pressure in the secondary market. The aggressive financing pace of the long-unprofitable rocket and AI company quickly backfired, eroding investor confidence and causing its bond spreads to widen sharply, nearing speculative-grade ("junk") levels. Within 48 hours of pricing, SpaceX's bonds plummeted. The 10-year bond yield rose to nearly 6%, with its spread over US Treasuries widening to over 160 basis points (bps). Longer-dated bonds saw spreads surge to 193 bps and 201 bps, significantly worse than the average spread for BB-rated junk bonds at 167 bps. This rapid deterioration shocked fixed-income traders. Initial strong demand, with nearly $90 billion in orders, was driven largely by short-term speculative "fast money" rather than traditional buy-and-hold investors. When these funds sought quick profits, heavy selling ensued. Analysts describe a "perfect storm" caused by SpaceX's post-IPO market cap decline, technical selling pressure from the enlarged deal size, and investor uncertainty in pricing its unique risk profile. The core concern for bond investors is SpaceX's fundamentals: while it reported $18.7 billion in 2025 revenue, it posted a net loss of $4.9 billion. Creditors focus on actual cash flow for debt repayment, not future growth expectations tied to AI. Heavy reliance on CEO Elon Musk's leadership and weak corporate governance were also cited as key credit weaknesses. The selloff highlights broader systemic risks as tech giants embark on a massive debt spree to fund AI projects. AI-related debt issuance has soared 357% year-to-date. This supply surge is increasing sector leverage and putting pressure on credit spreads across the market, potentially threatening the tech capital expenditure cycle if the pace continues.

Metrics Ventures Market Observation: The World's Fragility is Rapidly Accumulating

Metrics Ventures' market observation highlights the rapid accumulation of global fragility. Since 2022, persistent supply chain disruptions have progressively eroded the economic resilience and policy autonomy of nations like Japan, South Korea, and Europe, building momentum for potential future capital market shocks. Market trends reveal a liquidity drought across most sectors except AI and specific commodities. Vulnerable economies are increasingly doubling down on concentrated trades—a risky strategy unlikely to succeed in the current geopolitical climate. For cryptocurrency markets, these global pressures have formed a significant overhang since late last year, raising the unprecedented need to evaluate the possibility of MSTR liquidating part of its BTC holdings. Furthermore, the appeal of BTC as a short-side hedge against other assets is growing, presenting a challenging medium-term outlook. Technically, key markets are at critical junctures: Japanese and Korean equities face major resistance, the US Dollar Index has broken past a year-long ceiling, and the US 2-Year Treasury yield shows an upward trend. A potential sudden liquidity contraction could trigger algorithm-driven sell-offs from leveraged funds, amplifying global volatility. While precious metals like gold and silver may face short-term pressure, such a shakeout could precede a major rally. For Bitcoin, a deeper-than-expected correction is a plausible scenario within this risk-release cycle. Despite unforeseen events like the Hormuz situation shaping H2, this period of elevated risk also presents significant opportunities.
