Binance Square Daily News|6/27 International Focus: The SEC Tokenized Stock Framework Is Coming Soon, US-Iran Talks Boost Risk Assets

BTC 60430 (+2.1%) | ETH 1585.72 (+3.2%)

Key Points Today:
• The US SEC is accelerating the development of a tokenized stock trading framework. Analysts expect it to allow crypto platforms to offer blockchain-based versions of US stocks and ETFs, enabling 24/7 trading and real-time settlement. If implemented, it would reshape traditional stock market liquidity and be a boon for crypto infrastructure.
• US-Iran negotiations have entered the second phase. Iran has pledged to comply with international law to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Geopolitical risk has clearly eased, with capital rotating from the energy sector into risk assets, and the Dow Jones index hitting a new all-time high.
• The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate by 25 bps to 1.0%, the highest in 31 years, but market reaction has been limited. Investors are more focused on the upcoming Fed rate decision.
• Stablecoin regulation continues to ease. Under the GENIUS Act, progress on compliant reserve-fund developments is going smoothly, and institutions such as State Street have launched related products. Regulated stablecoins in Hong Kong are expected to roll out gradually in mid-year.
• Prediction markets surged during major sporting events. Platforms such as Kalshi have repeatedly seen record-breaking trading volumes, validating the monetization potential of event-driven narratives.

My Take: With geopolitical risk cooling and regulatory tailwinds in place, risk appetite may rebound in the short term. However, volatility could still persist ahead of the Fed decision. It’s advisable to stay cautious, with priority given to monitoring BTC’s relatively strong trend.
