memorandum

Energy developer Fusion Source Energy (FSE) and its partners have signed a memorandum of understanding with the on-chain physical asset platform Loaf to promote the issuance of over $500 million in Australian photovoltaic and battery projects on-chain, covering more than 1,000 hectares, led by the over 200 megawatt Project Amber. According to the memorandum, the funds raised are expected to accelerate project development and expand Amber's battery capacity.Amber is a utility-scale photovoltaic park that will deploy over 200 megawatts of photovoltaic and multi-hour battery storage on-site, with an expected annual power generation sufficient to meet the electricity needs of over 70,000 households, or equivalent to the electricity demand of a 50 megawatt data center. The project pipeline also includes battery storage assets below 5 megawatts and distributed energy resources, which are modular assets closer to the electricity end, capable of forming diversified energy revenue across multiple sites in Australia.FSE CEO Weiwei Shi stated that Amber is one of the largest hybrid on-site projects in the Southern Hemisphere, which have traditionally only been open to a few institutional investors. Loaf can expand the investor base without adding extra friction and provide continuous, transparent pricing for the assets.Loaf stated that Project Amber will become a key asset in its ecosystem. As the project matures and begins trading, users will be able to go long or short and use these assets within the on-chain financial ecosystem. Loaf will participate in the on-chain trading and issuance of physical assets, allowing users to access the economic upside and returns of related infrastructure assets.

According to reports from the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting on the 26th, some foreign media have claimed that Iran and the United States have reached a 14-point memorandum of understanding, which is "completely fabricated and unfounded."The report stated that some media claimed hours earlier to have obtained the final draft of the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding, which involves issues such as opening the Strait of Hormuz, initiating negotiations on nuclear issues, and unfreezing Iran's frozen funds, but these claims are all untrue.

According to a report by Axios, two U.S. officials and informed sources revealed that the White House believes it is close to reaching an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and establish a framework for subsequent, more detailed nuclear negotiations. The U.S. expects to receive Iran's response on several key issues within the next 48 hours.Sources say this is the closest the two sides have come to an agreement since the outbreak of the war. According to part of the agreement, Iran will commit to suspending uranium enrichment activities, while the U.S. agrees to lift sanctions against Iran and release billions of dollars of frozen Iranian funds. Both sides will also lift restrictions on passage through the Strait of Hormuz.This one-page memorandum, consisting of 14 clauses, is being jointly negotiated by Trump envoy Wittekov and Kushner with several Iranian officials through both direct contact and mediation. According to the current version, the memorandum will declare the end of regional warfare and initiate a 30-day negotiation period to reach a detailed agreement, which includes opening the strait, limiting Iran's nuclear program, and lifting U.S. sanctions. These negotiations may take place in Islamabad or Geneva. A U.S. official stated that during this 30-day period, Iran's restrictions on strait shipping and the U.S. Navy's blockade will be gradually lifted. If negotiations break down, U.S. forces will be able to restore the blockade or take military action again.

The two major financial regulatory agencies in the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), committing to enhance collaboration in the regulation of crypto assets and the launch of new digital asset products to support legitimate innovation and protect investors.According to the statements from both parties, the MOU aims to "guide coordination and cooperation between the two agencies," focusing on supporting legitimate innovation, maintaining market integrity, and ensuring investor and customer protection. The two agencies also plan to jointly promote the development of a federal-level policy framework to establish a "fit-for-purpose regulatory framework" for emerging technologies such as crypto assets. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the long-standing disputes over regulatory authority, redundant registration requirements, and differing regulatory rules between the SEC and CFTC have somewhat stifled innovation and prompted some market participants to turn to other jurisdictions.Under the MOU, the two agencies will also coordinate to address regulatory barriers that hinder the legitimate launch of new financial products, including those related to crypto assets. While MOUs typically do not have legal binding force, the market generally views the formal commitment of the SEC and CFTC to enhance policy coordination as a positive signal for the digital asset industry. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that the reason the U.S. financial markets lead globally is their ability to continuously adapt to investor needs, and the regulatory system must evolve in tandem to achieve more unified and comprehensive market oversight.
