Regulation & Macro

Following Futu Tiger Longbridge, Huasheng Securities will clean up its mainland business.

Huasheng Securities issued a notice to its clients stating that, starting June 15th (Beijing time), it will adjust services for existing investor accounts in mainland China: new and additional position openings for all securities, including stocks, will be suspended; only selling and closing positions will be supported. Fund and securities transfers in will be suspended, while transfers out will remain normal. This adjustment is to implement the industry regulatory requirements of the two-year concentrated rectification period, promote the standardized development of cross-border securities business, and will not affect services provided to existing investors overseas, nor will it affect the security of existing assets for all clients. In addition to Futu, Tiger Brokers, and Changqiao Brokers, which were previously "named" by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, some small and medium-sized securities firms will also begin rectifying existing illegal business activities.

The full text of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act proposed by U.S. Representative Nick Begich has been released.

U.S. Representative Nick Begich introduced the "American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026," proposing the establishment of a U.S. "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and a "Digital Asset Reserve." The core provisions of the bill include: the Treasury Department must establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve within 180 days to centrally manage Bitcoin held by the federal government; all Bitcoin acquired through criminal forfeiture, civil penalties, etc., must be included in the reserve; non-Bitcoin digital assets must be uniformly included in the digital asset reserve and can be sold to increase Bitcoin holdings or repay national debt; an on-chain reserve proof system must be established, with quarterly public disclosure of holdings and key control proofs; all Bitcoin included in the reserve must, in principle, be held for at least 20 years, during which time they cannot be sold, pledged, or transferred; federal agencies must report their digital asset holdings within 60 days, which will ultimately be transferred to the unified reserve system; states are allowed to voluntarily deposit their state-held Bitcoin into a separate account in the federal strategic Bitcoin reserve; and the right of individuals to self-custody their assets is explicitly protected. The bill does not directly authorize the federal government to borrow heavily to purchase Bitcoin, but rather requires the study of "budget-neutral" acquisition plans and prohibits the purchase of Bitcoin through new borrowing, tax increases, or deficit spending. If passed, the U.S. will establish a national-level Bitcoin reserve system for the first time through legislation.

The U.S. House Tax Committee is distributing seven draft bills on digital asset tax reform.

The U.S. House Tax Committee is circulating seven draft bills on digital asset taxation, proposing a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. crypto-asset tax framework. The issues cover stablecoin payments, tax exemptions for small transactions, recognition of mining and staking income, crypto lending, wash sale rules, tax treatment of charitable donations, and a voluntary disclosure program for taxpayers with historical reporting issues. These include proposals such as the "Reducing Tax Instrumentation for Digital Asset Holders Act" and the "Mining and Staking Tax Clarification Act." This move effectively breaks down previous related bills into multiple independent legislative projects to improve efficiency. These draft bills are expected to be the core issues of next Tuesday's digital asset tax hearing. If ultimately passed, this will be one of the most comprehensive overhauls of the U.S. crypto-tax system in recent years.

SpaceX plans to ban Chinese and Hong Kong investors from its IPO, which is related to US technology export controls.

According to Bloomberg, underwriters preparing for SpaceX's IPO, valued at approximately $75 billion, were instructed not to accept subscription orders from investors in mainland China and Hong Kong (including private banking clients) due to technology export and compliance risks related to the U.S. International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The lead bank has requested other banks in the underwriting syndicate to reject funds from these regions to avoid triggering U.S. national security and data security reviews. SpaceX's website also displayed errors on Friday in Hong Kong and Shanghai, indicating blocked local IP addresses, reflecting further tightening of its control over Chinese investment in terms of equity and information.

The UK's FCA has designated Hyperliquid and the Hyper Foundation as "unauthorized entities".

On May 21, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a notice designating the crypto derivatives platform Hyperliquid and its affiliated websites as unauthorized entities.

Meanwhile, CME Group CEO Terry Duffy warned that crypto perpetual contracts could be a "potential disaster," questioning the CFTC's approval process for such "novel and complex" products. Hyperliquid, as one of the leading decentralized perpetual contracts platforms, has recorded approximately $255 million in revenue as of May 20 this year, with its HYPE token rising by approximately 101% during the same period.

State Council: Strengthen the supervision of private equity funds and strictly control the establishment and illegal activities of government funds.

The General Office of the State Council issued an opinion requiring strengthened supervision of private equity investment funds, risk prevention, and promotion of high-quality development. The document proposes optimizing registration and filing rules, strictly controlling the establishment of new government investment funds (generally, no new funds should be established at the county or district level), and strictly managing the registration of terms such as "private equity fund" in names and business scopes. Regulators will refine risk assessment standards, promote differentiated supervision, and increase inspections of key institutions, institutions operating in other locations, and illegal activities such as nominee shareholding and channeling. Private equity funds will be strictly prohibited from illegal lending and "equity disguised as debt." The opinion also emphasizes increasing the crackdown on illegal fundraising, embezzlement, self-financing, illegal cross-border fund flows, and participation in illegal fundraising. A "whistleblower" system and a blacklist system will be established. Furthermore, by integrating inefficient government and state-owned enterprise investment funds, cultivating patient capital, and providing diversified exit channels, the document aims to guide the standardized development of private equity funds, venture capital funds, and private securities funds, serving technological innovation and residents' wealth management.

Opinions & Analysis

Coinbase CEO: Bitcoin's decline does not mean a decline in cryptocurrencies; derivatives, stablecoins, and other areas are still rising.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that many people still believe a drop in Bitcoin means a drop in cryptocurrencies, but derivatives/perpetual contracts, stablecoins, prediction markets, and others are rising. Cryptocurrencies touch upon all areas of finance and now have a broader reach than Bitcoin. Bitcoin will perform well in the future; this is just one of many cycles we've experienced.

Michael Saylor proposed a framework of four major ideologies for Bitcoin.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor proposed a framework of four ideologies for Bitcoin: Maximists emphasize Bitcoin's role as the dominant global digital currency network; capitalists advocate for Bitcoin's deep integration into banking, corporate, and capital markets; technologists support cautious protocol upgrades to improve scalability, security, and functionality; and fundamentalists focus on self-custody, node operation, decentralization, and protocol immutability. Saylor believes these four ideologies correspond to four forces: belief, adoption, innovation, and protection. He argues that Bitcoin's future should achieve a balance through "disciplined expansion": maintaining the stability and decentralization of the underlying protocol while placing most innovation on layer-two networks, custody, credit, and capital market infrastructure.

Bloomberg Viewpoint: Stablecoin Expansion May Reshape Global Finance, Regulatory Absence Highlights Risks

According to Bloomberg, the US government is betting that stablecoins issued by private institutions like Tether and denominated in US dollars will expand to approximately $3 trillion in the coming years to support the dollar's international dominance and absorb more demand for US Treasury bonds. However, the article points out that the current mainstream stablecoin issuers are concentrated in Tether, whose compliance with local regulations and anti-money laundering practices are questionable. A run on Tether or a smart contract malfunction could impact its large holdings of US Treasury bonds and disrupt global payments and settlements. The European Central Bank is pushing forward with central bank digital currencies and a "tokenized euro" to support atomic settlements in order to avoid the locking of key financial infrastructure by US private dollar tokens.
