Jinse Finance reported that Deutsche Bank's analysis of ETFs shows that overseas investors are significantly reducing their US dollar exposure at an "unprecedented pace" when purchasing US stocks and bonds with currency hedging. George Saravelos, the bank's Global Head of FX Research, cited data from over 500 funds, noting that for the first time in a decade, the capital inflows into US dollar-hedged ETFs for US assets have surpassed those into non-hedged funds. According to Saravelos, this hedging behavior explains why the US dollar has remained weak even as international investors have returned to US assets after Trump's tariff policies disrupted markets earlier this year. At that time, the market speculated that trade war risks might dampen investor interest in US stocks, bonds, and the US dollar itself. Saravelos wrote: "The implication at the FX level is clear: foreign investors may have returned to the US asset market (albeit at a slower pace), but they do not want to take on the accompanying US dollar exposure. For every purchase of an asset hedged against US dollar risk, an equivalent amount of currency is sold to eliminate FX risk."

Jinse Finance reported that more than ten crypto industry leaders, including Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor and Marathon Digital Holdings CEO Fred Thiel, will hold a roundtable meeting with Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich on Capitol Hill in Washington to promote the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" legislation. This proposal, reintroduced by Lummis in March this year as the "BITCOIN Act," plans to acquire 1 million bitcoins over five years through a "budget-neutral strategy" and establish it as a U.S. strategic reserve asset. The bill is an expansion of an executive order by President Trump, which required the government to permanently hold bitcoin, prohibited its sale, and mandated that confiscated crypto assets be deposited into an independent reserve. Currently, the bill has been submitted to the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, but a hearing has not yet been scheduled. This move follows Congress's passage of the first stablecoin regulatory bill and marks a shift by lawmakers toward broader crypto industry regulation. Industry organizations such as DPN (Digital Power Network) have stated they will ensure that the strategic bitcoin reserve becomes a priority in Washington.
