Минфинансов и ФРС США хотят уравнять в правах криптовалюты и доллар

investing.ruPublicado a 2024-08-19Actualizado a 2024-08-19

Совет управляющих ФРС и подконтрольная Минфину Сеть по борьбе с финансовыми преступлениями (FinCEN) выступили с поправками в Закон о банковской тайне, расширяющей определение термина «деньги».

«ФРС и FinCEN предполагают, что расширенное определение термина обеспечит применение правил к внутренним и трансграничным транзакциям с использованием конвертируемой виртуальной валюты. Эта валюта является средством обмена, имеет эквивалентную стоимость в национальной валюте или выступающим в качестве заменителя нацвалюты независимо от наличия статуса законного платежного средства», — говорится в комментариях к законопроекту.

После пересмотра значения термина «деньги» федеральные органы надзора рассчитывают получить возможность предъявлять новые требования к отчетности финансовых учреждений — как по внутренним, так и трансграничным криптовалютным транзакциям. Начало действия поправок, если их одобрит Конгресс, запланировано на сентябрь 2025 года.

Ранее ФРС США обвинила Customers Bank в ненадлежащем контроле деятельности, связанной с инвестициями в виртуальные цифровые активы, и потребовала ограничить риски обслуживания клиентов.

37.7°C Heatwave Paralyzes Cambridge University AI Supercomputer, 350 Research Projects Halted

Cambridge University's national AI supercomputer, "Dawn," was forced offline for over a week due to a record-breaking June heatwave in the UK, where temperatures reached 37.7°C. This failure of the cooling system halted more than 350 critical research projects reliant on the £300 million machine, which features 1024 Intel GPUs and liquid cooling. Impacted work included climate change modeling, Parkinson's disease drug screening, and AI-powered cancer vaccine research, highlighting the vulnerability of essential infrastructure to extreme weather. The incident mirrors similar heat-related outages at Google and Oracle data centers in the UK in 2022. Experts point to a growing challenge: as AI chips become more powerful and generate significantly more heat, data center cooling systems—often designed for historical climate norms—are increasingly struggling against the rising temperatures driven by climate change itself.

Bitcoin Has Yet to Hit Bottom, While Exchange AscendEX Has Already "Run Away"

On July 6, 2026, cryptocurrency exchange AscendEX officially announced it is ceasing operations, with a complete shutdown scheduled for July 1, 2026. The platform cited the full implementation of the EU's MiCA regulation alongside market, financial, and operational challenges. Users can no longer perform most functions, with accounts limited to withdrawal purposes only. Prior to the announcement, on-chain investigator ZachXBT had issued warnings about significant withdrawal delays and a severe lack of high-liquidity assets (like ETH, USDT, SOL) in AscendEX's public hot wallets. Following the news, ZachXBT confirmed that the exchange lacks sufficient liquid assets to process multiple verified seven-figure withdrawal requests. AscendEX acknowledged that all withdrawals now require manual review, with no guarantees on processing times. Chain analysis via Arkham Intelligence shows the platform's marked wallets hold minimal readily accessible funds, with most recent activity being small withdrawals. One highlighted wallet reportedly contains only $13.46 million in altcoins. AscendEX, formerly known as BitMax, launched in 2018 and raised $50 million in a 2021 funding round. However, it suffered a major security breach in December 2021, losing approximately $77.7 million from hot wallets. The exchange compensated users but never fully recovered. The current crisis underscores the inherent risks of centralized exchanges, where poor liquidity management, regulatory pressure, and bear market conditions can trigger a collapse. The event is seen as part of a broader industry shakeout, highlighting the importance for users to prioritize non-custodial wallets or exchanges with transparent proof-of-reserves.

Sevenfold Oversubscription, Can SK Hynix Save the Semiconductor Industry This Time?

SK Hynix's planned US ADR listing is drawing intense interest, with its offering reportedly oversubscribed by over seven times, potentially making it the largest foreign listing in US history. The fundraising of approximately $24.5 billion is intended for expanding its Korean production capacity, including advanced packaging and EUV equipment. This massive demand from long-term funds and prominent institutions like Baillie Gifford and Situational Awareness Partners (led by noted investor Leopold Aschenbrenner) presents a stark contrast to the recent downturn in the broader semiconductor sector. The sector has faced a significant correction, with SK Hynix's own stock falling nearly 30% from its June high. This sell-off was triggered by concerns that major tech giants might slow their AI infrastructure spending, following signals like Meta's reported plan to sell surplus computing capacity. The strong ADR appetite suggests long-term investors still believe in the AI investment cycle's fundamentals, viewing the recent decline more as a valuation reset than a demand collapse. Some market speculation even suggests the pre-IPO price drop could be strategic, setting the stage for a stronger post-listing performance. While SK Hynix's successful listing may act as a short-term positive catalyst for market sentiment, the article argues the true signal for a sustained semiconductor recovery will come from upcoming earnings reports of tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon. Their future capital expenditure plans will be crucial in determining whether the AI-driven growth cycle can continue.

Breaking News: Musk Delivers the Most Powerful Grok 4.5, Slashes Price of Top-tier Opus Intelligence Drastically

**Elon Musk Launches Grok 4.5: A Cost-Effective, High-Performance AI Rival** SpaceXAI, in collaboration with Cursor, has released Grok 4.5, its new flagship AI model designed specifically for coding and agentic tasks. Trained on tens of thousands of NVIDIA GB300 GPUs using massive, high-quality data filtered from trillions of Cursor developer interactions, the model emphasizes "per-token intelligence." In benchmark performance, Grok 4.5 is highly competitive. It scores 64.7% on SWE Bench Pro (surpassing GPT-5.5's 58.6% and Opus 4.7's 64.3%), 83.3% on Terminal Bench 2.1 (nearly matching GPT-5.5), and 62.0% on DeepSWE 1.0 (beating Opus 4.8). Overall, it ranks fourth in AAAI official tests and first in the Harvey legal agent benchmark. The model's key advantage is its combination of speed, efficiency, and low cost. It generates responses at 80 tokens per second and, crucially, uses far fewer tokens to complete tasks—4.2 times fewer than Opus 4.8 on SWE Bench Pro. It is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, significantly undercutting competitors. Musk stated it is "roughly equivalent to Opus 4.7, but much faster." Early user tests show Grok 4.5 can generate functional code for applications like 3D solar system simulators and basic games from simple prompts, though some note it still lags behind top models in certain creative tasks. Musk has hinted at a major update next month, leveraging real-world engineering data from his companies, with an even larger 2-trillion parameter version reportedly in development. Grok 4.5 positions itself not as the absolute strongest model, but as a highly efficient and affordable alternative in the top tier.

Today, The Hong Kong Exchange Was Once Again Overwhelmed

Hong Kong's stock exchange witnessed an exceptionally busy day on July 9, with a record seven companies conducting initial public offerings (IPOs) simultaneously. The list included major firms such as Luxshare Precision, which launched the largest Hong Kong IPO of the year, and other notable names like Tri-Ring Group and Qiyunshan Food. However, the market reception was sharply divided on the first trading day. While Qiyunshan Food's shares surged over 110%, several other newcomers, including Luxshare Precision, Dingtai High-Tech, and Rigol Technologies, opened below their issue prices, with some falling nearly 20%. This event highlights a broader, bustling IPO scene in Hong Kong for 2024, with 82 Chinese companies listing in the first half alone—more than double the figure from the same period last year. A significant portion of this activity comes from dual "A+H" listings, where mainland China-listed firms seek secondary listings in Hong Kong. These larger companies have accounted for nearly 60% of total fundraising. Despite the high volume, recent trends show a cooling market sentiment for many new listings. Several IPOs in early July, including that of Tongrentang Healthcare, debuted with significant losses, indicating increased investor caution and selectivity. The market narrative is shifting, with capital increasingly concentrating on high-growth sectors like artificial intelligence, robotics, and semiconductors, while traditional manufacturing and consumer goods face greater pressure and volatility. This divergence underscores a market where success is no longer guaranteed by merely listing, but depends heavily on a company's growth prospects and sector appeal.
