According to CoinDesk, Cboe is exploring the launch of perpetual futures linked to the VIX index, which is still in the early stages, with no contract specifications yet and no filing documents submitted. This news comes from Bloomberg.The VIX index measures the expected volatility over the next 30 days as reflected by the pricing of S&P 500 options. As investors buy options to hedge against sharp market declines, the demand for options during downturns surges, thereby raising the index, which is why it is regarded as Wall Street's "fear gauge." Perpetual futures were first proposed by economist Robert Shiller in 1993 and were subsequently commercialized by the cryptocurrency industry.A mature derivatives ecosystem has already formed around the VIX, covering futures, options, and exchange-traded products tracking the index. However, futures come with expiration dates, and when contracts terminate, traders must roll over their positions or shift their bets to the next available contract. This rolling operation is costly and erodes returns, which was a major criticism faced by Bitcoin futures ETFs when they debuted at the end of 2021.In contrast, perpetual swaps never settle and instead anchor contract prices to the spot index through a funding rate mechanism, theoretically providing investors with the closest investment channel to the actual VIX spot price. Martin Lee, Head of Market Insights at DWF Labs, told CoinDesk that traders do not need to worry about expiration and value decay, as they can focus solely on assessing the direction of the underlying asset. He expects a strong trend of "perpetualization" to emerge in the coming months.

According to Ledger Insights, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority plans to launch a wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) for interbank settlement by the end of this year, as part of Project EnsembleTX, for 24-hour settlement of tokenized deposit transactions.The project is set to enter the real transaction pilot phase by the end of 2025, but currently, interbank settlements still rely on the RTGS system that operates only during working hours. The wCBDC will be used to address this limitation. In addition, the wCBDC is also planned to be used for the settlement of over-the-counter derivatives trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), with the goal of implementing related real fund transactions within this year.

The founder of Liebit Mining Pool, Jiang Zhuoer, stated that the bStock token BNCB corresponding to BNB Treasury Company BNC had once fallen below 5 dollars, which is a rare high-profit certainty opportunity. 5.76 dollars is the starting point after CZ forwarded the BNC renaming vote post, and the possibility of falling below that is low.At the same time, at 5.76 dollars, mNAV=61%, and further decline would be equivalent to buying BNB at half price. Therefore, it is believed that 5.5~5.76 dollars is a good buying point. In addition, using leverage to buy small-cap stocks carries significant risks, so buying bstock spot, which is BNCB, is recommended. It is believed that CZ and Binance will promote the "Coin Stock Flywheel," and more related events are expected in the future.

According to the Economic Daily, in the past six months, CCL manufacturers have raised product prices by about 20% to 30% due to the overall increase in upstream material prices. Most PCB manufacturers have not been able to pass on these costs quickly enough, resulting in a time lag of 2 to 3 months, which has eroded profit margins. Institutional investors indicate that starting from the third quarter of this year, some PCB manufacturers will increase prices, and the benefits are expected to drive a rebound in the profitability of related manufacturers.Analysts state that in terms of substrates, electronic fiberglass cloth led by T glass and copper foil drilling needles are still in short supply, with T glass experiencing the most severe shortage, with some manufacturers facing a gap of up to 20%. This gap is expected to continue into next year. It is anticipated that in the second half of this year, substrate manufacturers will enter a supply-demand imbalance driven by the high demand for AI GPUs and ASIC high-performance computing, as well as the continued tightness of key raw materials. Substrate manufacturers will continue to adopt rolling price adjustments, with prices still having double-digit upward potential.Additionally, due to the sustained high demand related to AI and the specification upgrades driven by new generation products, there is continued optimism that CCL manufacturers will benefit from both price and volume increases. With raw material prices remaining tight and the delivery times for high-end CCL continuing to extend, the trend of price increases remains unchanged. There is continued optimism for the future development of Taiwanese CCL manufacturers such as Taiflex and Taisil. Meanwhile, as the substrate gap gradually widens, it benefits the bargaining power of substrate manufacturers, and the trend of price increases will continue, maintaining a positive outlook on the future performance of Taiwanese substrate manufacturers, including Nanya Technology and other supply chain partners.
