QCP said in April it was expanding to the Middle East.

Digital assets trading firm QCP Capital said it received In-Principle Approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

The Singapore-based firm is the latest digital assets company to establish a licensed presence in Abu Dhabi. In April, during Token 2049 in neighboring Dubai, it said it signed a partnership with Further Ventures to expand into the Middle East.

“Our intention is to be a responsible player that wants to support market confidence," CEO Melvin Deng said in a statement. "We are proud to be the first Singaporean digital asset market maker and broker-dealer to set up here in the market and hope we can encourage others to venture into this dynamic market.”

Abu Dhabi Global Market is one of the fastest-growing crypto hubs in the region.

“We want to learn from what other players are doing in Abu Dhabi and the region and bring our expertise as a first mover in digital assets to the ecosystem,” Deng said.

Chainalysis reported in October 2023 that most UAE digital asset transactions were large institutional investments.

In December, Coinbase's new blockchain-based financial products for institutional investors also received in-principle approval from the FSRA.

"Six Walnuts" Diversifies into AI Investment, Stock Price Triples in One Year

"Six Walnuts," a popular Chinese beverage brand under Yangyuan Food and Beverage, has pivoted aggressively into AI and semiconductor investments. Despite its core walnut milk drink business facing sustained decline—with revenues shrinking 41% over a decade—the parent company has channeled nearly all its annual profits for three consecutive years into a 40 billion yuan investment fund targeting AI hardware, chips, and storage. This bold move has transformed the firm into an AI-themed stock, propelling its share price up nearly 300% in one year, even as consumer stocks broadly struggled. A key bet is a 1.6 billion yuan investment in memory chipmaker Yangtze Memory, whose potential IPO could deliver substantial returns. Other investments span AI vision, edge AI chips, and GPUs, though many remain unrealized or at a paper loss. While maintaining its beverage base, Yangyuan is pursuing a dual-track strategy: steady income from its traditional business and high-risk, high-reward exposure to hard tech. Its future valuation now heavily depends on the success of these tech investments, particularly Yangtze Memory's listing. Failure could lead to significant market correction as AI expectations unwind.

Bitcoin Liquidity Trap Warning Says Thin Upside Could Come Before $60,000 Sweep

Analyst Merlijn Trader warns that Bitcoin may be in a liquidity trap. While upside resistance appears thin, potentially allowing a short-term price push, a major risk lies near $60,000. That zone holds a heavy concentration of leveraged long positions. A move higher could attract late buyers before reversing to trigger liquidations around $60,000, accelerating a downside flush. The setup is a trap because a brief rally lacking real spot demand could create conditions for a sharper decline. The key takeaway is to watch for confirmation in price action and volume—thin upside can become a launchpad with strong buying, but without it, the $60,000 area remains a critical vulnerability.

Research Report Analysis: AI Triggers MLCC Supercycle, How Many Years of Gains Can Samsung Electro-Mechanics Enjoy?

Title: Analyst Report: AI Ignites MLCC Super Cycle, How Many Years of Benefits Can Samsung Electro-Mechanics Reap? Summary: Morgan Stanley has sharply raised its target price for Samsung Electro-Mechanics from 920,000 KRW to 2,560,000 KRW, recasting the MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) industry from cyclical to structurally bullish. The core thesis is that AI servers demand 10-15 times more MLCCs than traditional servers, with a single AI server requiring up to 440,000 units compared to just 30,000 for a standard server. This drives not only higher volumes but also a shift to more advanced, higher-value MLCCs, boosting Average Selling Prices (ASP). The current supply crunch is seen as structural, not a temporary cyclical mismatch, driven by capacity constraints meeting sustained new demand. High-end MLCC production lines are fully booked, with new lines taking two years to build. Morgan Stanley forecasts MLCC price increases of 30% in H2 2026 and another 30-50% in 2027. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is positioned as the primary beneficiary through three channels: 1) Direct MLCC price hikes, especially for high-margin AI-use MLCCs, driving significant operating margin expansion from 15.7% (present) to 24.5% by 2027. 2) Strong growth in its ABF substrate business from saturated AI/ASIC chip orders. 3) Future revenue streams from new product lines like silicon capacitors and glass substrates. The firm's ROE is projected to surge from 7.5% in FY25 to 32.2% by FY28, with an increased dividend payout. Risks include potential smartphone demand weakness or execution issues in China, while upside catalysts are further price increases and confirmation of higher MLCC content in next-gen AI platforms like Rubin/VR200. The story transforms Samsung Electro-Mechanics from a traditional component supplier into a key AI infrastructure player, with its growth narrative supported by current supply constraints and pricing power.

Bitcoin Drop Sparks $700M Liquidation Wave As Leverage Gets Flushed

Bitcoin's recent drop to around $62,000 triggered a massive $700 million liquidation wave across crypto derivatives markets. This event highlights how excessive leverage can amplify price declines, as forced selling from liquidated positions pushes prices down further. The market now faces a key test: the liquidation flush could be a healthy reset of overheated speculation, clearing the way for a rebound, or a warning sign of deeper losses if Bitcoin fails to reclaim key support levels. Traders are watching for signs of genuine spot buying to drive any recovery, as opposed to another buildup of risky leveraged bets. The stability of Ether and major altcoins will also be crucial in determining overall market fragility.

AI Stocks Plunge Violently, Is It GLM's DeepSeek Moment?

On Tuesday, AI-related stocks faced their most severe sell-off of the year, triggered by a sharp decline in South Korean equities. The plunge, led by key AI supply chain players Samsung and SK Hynix, spread to US markets, heavily impacting semiconductor, memory, and storage stocks. Analysts linked the downturn to the recent release of China's powerful open-source model, GLM-5.2, drawing parallels to the market shock caused by DeepSeek's release earlier in 2025. This event reignited investor concerns that cheaper, competitive AI models could undermine the economic rationale for the massive data center investments by major US tech firms. The sell-off was seen as a repricing of the AI trade rather than a rejection of AI demand itself. Market focus shifted from whether AI will grow to whether the current valuations justify the enormous capital expenditures. While some strategists view this as a necessary correction after excessive gains, questions remain about the sustainability of financing for AI infrastructure, particularly as companies increasingly rely on debt. All eyes are now on upcoming earnings reports, like Micron's, to gauge the hardware sector's health. The core debate has become about the cost of growth and which companies can successfully convert their massive investments into sustainable cash flow.
