Odaily News Pantera Capital General Partner Franklin Bi posted on the X platform, stating that the quantum-resistant competition has already begun, but the market has significantly misjudged the adaptability of traditional finance versus blockchain. The market overestimates the speed at which the Wall Street system can adapt to quantum-resistant technology upgrades, as the migration process for traditional financial infrastructure will be slow, chaotic, and difficult to escape risks like single points of failure. The overall security of the traditional financial system depends on its weakest link.

At the same time, the market underestimates the unique capability of blockchain technology to upgrade. If upgrades can be successfully completed within the critical window, some blockchains are expected to evolve into "safe havens" for data and assets in the quantum-resistant era. Ethereum has already proven to be one of the few successful examples capable of completing complex system upgrades on a global scale (such as the previous The Merge upgrade). The security crisis brought by quantum computing may instead strengthen the "gravitational effect" of a few core blockchain networks.

Odaily News: Garrett Jin, the agent for the "1011 Insider Whale," posted on X stating that the probability of BlackRock executive Rick Rieder becoming the next Federal Reserve Chair has risen to 59.9%, significantly ahead of Kevin Warsh (22%). It is reported that Trump has completed interviews and has a clear preference. Rick Rieder is recognized for his central bank-level steady demeanor and bold vision for Fed reform. The result could be announced as early as next week. If elected, there would be two major benefits: First, smoother advancement of RWA on-chain, reduced regulatory friction, and accelerated institutional capital inflows. Second, enhanced stability in the U.S. Treasury and bond markets, improving Treasury issuance efficiency and balance sheet repair, aligning with the current administration's policy direction. Market views suggest that Rick Rieder leading the Fed would be a significant positive for RWA and ETH, potentially further heating up the RWA narrative.

Odaily News Recently, despite Trump moderating his tone towards Europe, Wall Street remains concerned that his hostility and disparagement towards the continent could lead to one of the largest buyer groups for U.S. stocks exiting the market. In fact, signs indicate this is already happening. Vincent Mortier, Chief Investment Officer of Amundi, Europe's largest asset manager overseeing 2.3 trillion euros ($2.7 trillion), stated: "We are seeing more and more clients wanting to diversify away from U.S. stock risk. This trend started in April 2025 but accelerated this week." He noted that any form of "decoupling" would be a long-term and complex process. European investors hold approximately $10.4 trillion in U.S. stocks, with over half held by investors from the eight countries threatened by Trump with tariff hikes. Hugo Ste-Marie, a strategist at Scotiabank, pointed out that European holdings account for 49% of all foreign-held U.S. stocks, a proportion large enough to pose a threat to the market. While a coordinated European sell-off of U.S. assets is unlikely, as Trump's threats and insults persist, fund managers from London to Berlin to Madrid are receiving increasing inquiries from clients about reducing exposure to U.S. assets.

Odaily News Strategy launched Europe's first non-US perpetual preferred stock, STRE, last November with a face value of 100 euros and an annual dividend of 10%. It was ultimately issued at a discounted price of 80 euros, raising approximately $715 million. However, the market response after listing has been weak. Analysis suggests the cold reception for STRE is primarily due to limited access through its Luxembourg Euro MTF listing channel, making it difficult for mainstream brokers and retail platforms to trade, coupled with a lack of transparent pricing and market data. Strategy has not yet announced follow-up plans, and the market is watching whether it will continue to deepen its efforts in Europe or maintain its focus on the US market. (CoinDesk)
