How to Regulate Single-Stock Leveraged ETFs? On Thursday, the Entire Market Is Watching This Korean Government Meeting

The highest-level economic coordination body in South Korea, the "F4" comprising the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Financial Services Commission, the Bank of Korea, and the Financial Supervisory Service, will hold an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss regulatory measures for single-stock leveraged ETFs. These products, launched just six weeks ago, have been widely blamed for exacerbating market volatility. The KOSPI's 8% plunge on Monday triggered the year's seventh trading halt, intensifying scrutiny. Regulators have expressed rare public regret over approving the products. FSS Governor Lee Bok-hyun stated he "regretted not doing everything possible to prevent" their introduction and acknowledged structural problems, citing massive retail investments and legal complications from a rushed rollout. Possible countermeasures under discussion include raising margin requirements, imposing daily price limits, and adjusting leverage caps. However, officials admit these may be temporary fixes. Data confirms the amplified volatility. Since the ETFs' launch, days with KOSPI moves exceeding 3% have nearly doubled. Trading halts have reached record levels, surpassing the 2008 financial crisis peak. The products allow 2x leveraged bets on giants like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Their daily rebalancing to match returns is seen as mechanically fueling market swings. The outcome of Thursday's F4 meeting is highly anticipated, with expectations leaning towards stricter controls on leverage, investor access, or other structural constraints to curb the products' market impact.

AI Overhauled Terence Tao's 30-Year-Old Website, Uncovering Two Bugs Hidden for Over Two Decades in the Process

AI Revamps Terence Tao's 30-Year-Old Website, Unearthing Two 20-Year-Old Bugs in His Code Terence Tao, a renowned mathematician, has enlisted an AI agent to overhaul his personal academic website, which was built in 1997 with a static HTML, manually-maintained "Web 1.0" architecture. In just one day, the agent migrated 560 papers and preprints, 374 travel logs, 68 courses, 19 books, and 29 old math applets to a new system on GitHub Pages. The new site is structured around YAML files as the "single source of truth," with static HTML pages automatically generated from this data—a fundamental shift from maintaining individual documents to managing a centralized database. During the migration, the AI uncovered inconsistencies, outdated entries, and broken links that had accumulated over nearly three decades of manual updates. It also successfully ported a set of small educational Java 1.0 applets to JavaScript. Notably, while reviewing this translation, Tao found only one new bug introduced by the AI. Conversely, the AI identified two subtle bugs in his original Java code that he was previously unaware of. Tao emphasizes the project highlights AI's potential for automating tedious "digital housekeeping"—routine tasks like data migration and website maintenance that are costly and error-prone when done manually. He also revived a 27-year-old stalled project: a special relativity visualizer or "Minkowskian Inkscape." With AI assistance, a working alpha version was built in two hours. While AI still requires human oversight for critical work, Tao argues that for such structured, non-core tasks, "AI + human review" can result in lower error rates and drastically lower correction costs compared to purely manual maintenance over decades.

ZORA Plunges 95%, Coinbase Finally Admits Creator Coins Failed

On July 13th, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly declared the failure of Base network's year-long "content coins" strategy. Initially launched in 2025 via the Zora platform and integrated into Coinbase's wallet as a core feature, the model aimed to turn every social media post into a tradeable token. Each post or creator account would generate 1 billion ERC-20 tokens, with creators receiving an initial allocation. The concept briefly propelled Base to become the largest L2 by new token issuance. However, the model proved unsustainable. These tokens, explicitly not granting ownership or revenue shares, primarily functioned as speculative assets dependent on new buyers. While activity surged in mid-2025—with millions of tokens minted and billions in trading volume—it failed to build lasting user engagement or value. High-profile token launches, including one by Base's official account, experienced extreme volatility, often crashing shortly after spikes. The supporting infrastructure token, ZORA, plummeted approximately 95% from its August 2025 peak, losing nearly $520 million in market capitalization. Armstrong acknowledged the misstep, stating "it didn't work" and that Base had shifted focus earlier in the year toward its core competencies of trading and stablecoin payments. This pivot follows internal criticism that the content coin experiment consumed excessive resources, harmed other Base projects, and ultimately resulted in significant financial losses for participating users.

Interest Rate Hike Option Back on the Table, CPI Release Imminent: What Variables Are Markets Focusing On?

The possibility of interest rate hikes is back on the table ahead of the June CPI release. Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that if upcoming core inflation data remains hot, the FOMC should consider tightening monetary policy soon. His comments, directly linking potential action to the CPI report, caused market expectations for a July rate hike to rise from around 35% to over 40%. This CPI report is critical not for dictating a single meeting's outcome, but for testing the credibility of disinflation. A higher-than-expected core CPI reading would challenge the Fed's ability to remain patient, potentially shifting internal discussions toward more tightening. Conversely, cooler data would allow markets to view Waller's remarks as a warning rather than a policy shift signal. The repricing of rate expectations pressures risk assets like tech stocks and cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH) by pushing up the discount rate for future cash flows and strengthening the US dollar. The key variable to watch post-CPI is whether the implied probability of a July hike stabilizes above 50%, which would signify a shift from pricing a tail risk to a baseline scenario. The most significant market stress would come from a combination of hot CPI data, a sustained rise in hike probabilities above 50%, and similar hawkish signals from other Fed officials, forcing a broad repricing of the "hiking cycle is over" trade.
