The second fund, iShares Core MSCI All-International Equity Index ETF (XINT), provides exposure to over 5,000 companies in developed and emerging markets outside North America. Both funds are part of the RBC iShares alliance, with the broader iShares platform managing approximately $6.2 trillion in assets.

IBQT allocates 97% of its portfolio to Canadian, U.S., international, and emerging market equities, while directing 3% to gain exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) through BlackRock's Canadian iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which trades on Cboe Canada. Instead of holding individual stocks, the fund primarily holds other iShares ETFs to gain access to equities and Bitcoin.

XINT tracks the MSCI ACWI ex North America IMI Index and provides access to over 5,000 companies across more than 40 developed and emerging markets outside Canada and the United States.

Both funds are managed by BlackRock Asset Management Canada under the RBC iShares alliance. As of June 30, the iShares division managed approximately $6.2 trillion in assets across more than 1,700 ETFs, BlackRock stated.

BlackRock's U.S.-listed iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is the country's largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management, with about $47.9 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

People's Bank of China Promises Steady Growth of Digital Yuan in Its 2026-2030 Plan

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has outlined plans for the "steady development" of the digital yuan (e-CNY) in its reform blueprint for the 2026-2030 period. The plan, which covers monetary policy, supervision, and financial openness, places e-CNY as a core task within the central bank's financial infrastructure goals. These include improving payment systems, aiding the credit industry, and strengthening anti-money laundering rules. Internationally, the PBOC aims to boost the yuan's use in trade and investment, develop cross-border payment networks, and expand offshore yuan markets, while enhancing Shanghai and Hong Kong's financial roles. Development began with research in 2014, leading to a formal launch in April 2022 and pilot programs in various cities. Recent domestic measures include allowing commercial banks to pay interest on e-CNY balances. Cross-border adoption is advancing. Pilot programs in Guangdong plan wider trials. Landmark transactions include a Singapore cross-border payment via the CBETS platform and the multi-central bank mBridge platform, which has expanded to Macao and facilitated large-scale transfers, including a record HKD 10 billion transaction. Corporate use of mBridge saw significant growth in the first half of the year.

Privacy and Quantum Security: Buterin Presents New Ethereum Development Plan

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled an updated development roadmap called "Strawmap," which extends through 2029. This plan introduces new priorities not present in the 2023 roadmap, primarily user privacy and quantum resistance. Key new focuses include making strong privacy a mandatory feature, not an option. Proposed tools include "privacy pools" to obscure fund origins and "wormholes" to break transaction traceability. The plan also emphasizes Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL) to prevent transaction censorship. Quantum resistance involves migrating to cryptographic algorithms secure against future quantum computers. Another major goal is "Lean Ethereum," a large-scale protocol simplification that may even involve replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with alternatives like RISC-V. The roadmap acknowledges the growing maturity of zero-knowledge cryptography (like SNARKs) for scaling and mentions future use of AI for formal code verification. Goals listed by Buterin are: defense against quantum computers, user privacy, high security, censorship resistance, scalable performance, and a simplified architecture. Strawmap is a living document, not a fixed schedule. The article's AI analysis notes the urgency of quantum preparedness, suggesting the transition must happen before "Q-Day" estimates, some as early as 2032.

Bitcoin Price Falls Below $64,000 Amid Sale of 1,690 BTC as Part of Strategy

Bitcoin's price fell below $64,000 on Monday, interrupting a multi-day period of minor gains. This decline occurred after the major Bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy, sold 1,690 BTC to fund a preferred stock buyback. The sale, executed at an average price of $64,262 per coin, generated $108.6 million, which was used to repurchase 1,152,020 shares of STRC. The drop saw Bitcoin's market cap shrink by over $20 billion and triggered the liquidation of over $47 million in leveraged long positions within 24 hours. The move was framed by Strategy's CEO, Fong Le, as part of its disciplined "Digital Credit Capital Framework," aimed at strengthening the company's U.S. dollar reserves and duration. However, critics like Peter Schiff questioned the logic of buying or holding the company's common stock, labeling it a "Ponzi scheme." In response, macro strategist Dan Hillary defended the action as prudent balance sheet optimization. He argued that selling a small portion of Bitcoin to repurchase discounted shares or shore up reserves for preferred dividends is a capital management step that reduces long-term capital costs and enhances financial resilience, prioritizing long-term shareholder value over short-term Bitcoin-per-share metrics.

Technical Director of Cardano Foundation to Resign in August This Year

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Cardano Foundation, Giorgio Zinetti, will resign at the end of August 2026 after serving for two and a half years. Zinetti announced his departure on X, stating his plans for a short break followed by a new professional venture in late September. He joined the Foundation in 2024, focusing on scaling enterprise adoption of Cardano's projects and products. The Cardano Foundation confirmed his exit separately but has not yet named a replacement or detailed how the CTO duties will be managed post-departure. The foundation's board and executive team stated they will continue collaborating with senior technical and business development staff to maintain focus on enterprise product implementation. The article also notes that Emurgo, one of the three entities supporting the Cardano blockchain alongside the Cardano Foundation and Input Output Global (IOG), announced its withdrawal from Cardano in July following a hack of its SecondFi wallet that resulted in a loss of 2.4 million ADA. Currently, Cardano ranks 29th by total value locked (TVL) in DeFi at $69.62 million across 69 protocols. At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.1961 with a market capitalization of $7.16 billion.

Cold Wallet Attack Sparks Self-Custody Concerns, Funds Flow to Institutional Products, Bitcoin ETF Weekly Inflows Hit 4-Month High

The security breach of a cold wallet has raised concerns about self-custody in the cryptocurrency market, leading to a shift of funds toward regulated institutional products. Last week, U.S.-listed bitcoin ETFs saw over $850 million in inflows, the strongest weekly performance since April. This surge was triggered by a hack targeting Coinkite's Coldcard wallets, resulting in the theft of approximately $130 million in bitcoin. Analysts suggest the incident may make bitcoin spot ETFs more attractive to some investors, including long-term holders. Notably, this ETF inflow occurred without a significant rebound in bitcoin's price, which has been range-bound and down roughly 50% from its all-time high. The event challenges the traditional perception of cold wallets as the safest storage method. Experts observe a structural shift as "marginal bitcoin is migrating from self-custody to institutionalized products." While ETFs offer bitcoin price exposure without the need for self-custody, they do not eliminate risk entirely, as custodians can also be vulnerable. However, the regulated framework of ETFs provides a different level of oversight and security measures compared to individual self-custody, potentially boosting investor confidence in delegating exposure to large financial institutions.
