ChainCatcher news, according to Sina Technology, during the 2025 Inclusion Bund Conference, Ant Group CEO Han Xingyi stated when discussing the token economy that the exploration of the value of the token economy and the prevention of risks should be given equal importance on the path of tokenization. He emphasized, "Compliance is the lifeline of innovation." From the very beginning of its exploration, Ant Group has clearly defined its boundaries: resolutely not issuing virtual currencies, not participating in any form of speculation; focusing on technological infrastructure, serving the industry rather than disrupting it; striving to create new value rather than fighting over the existing pie. "Today, our understanding of both value and risk may still be far from sufficient, and we need to continue long-term exploration and research. Steady and sustainable progress is much more important than simply pursuing speed and novelty," Han Xingyi said.

ChainCatcher reported that South Korea will remove cryptocurrency trading and brokerage businesses from the list of industries prohibited from obtaining venture capital enterprise status. The Ministry of SMEs and Startups of South Korea announced on Tuesday that the Cabinet has approved amendments to the Enforcement Decree of the Special Act on the Promotion of Venture Businesses. These amendments will take effect on September 16, paving the way for cryptocurrency-related companies to obtain venture capital company certification, enabling them to better access funding and government support. By lifting these restrictions, South Korea aims to foster blockchain and cryptocurrency technology as a deep tech sector within the broader digital asset ecosystem. South Korean Minister of Science and ICT, Lee Jong-ho, stated: "This is part of ensuring future growth engines that align with global trends. We will concentrate policy resources to ensure that venture capital flows smoothly into emerging industries and supports their development."
