Today's Highlights: Digital Yuan International Center Launches in Shanghai & Crypto Market Updates

Digital Yuan International Center Goes Live in Shanghai

The Digital Yuan International Center has officially opened in Shanghai, offering three key platforms: a digital yuan cross-border digital payment platform, a blockchain service platform, and a digital asset platform. These platforms aim to facilitate cross-border payments and expand existing financial infrastructure to blockchain-based services. The People's Bank of China emphasizes the principles of 'harmlessness, compliance, and interoperability' for cross-border infrastructure development.

Trump Aide Ethics Scrutiny Over Chip and Crypto Deals

Billion-dollar deals involving a Trump aide, Steve Witkoff, are under scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest. This includes a $2 billion investment from a UAE sovereign wealth fund into crypto firm World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Witkoff and the Trump family. An AI chip export deal to the UAE is also being scrutinized.
