Odaily News — Institutional analysis indicates that spot gold edged higher on Tuesday but remained trading below $4,200/oz, following a sell-off in the precious metals market on Monday triggered by US Treasury yields rising to multi-decade highs and gains in crude oil. An IG analyst said: "With markets expecting the Fed to keep interest rates high for longer, dampening investor interest in non-yielding assets, gold has only rebounded modestly and remains near its lowest level since early August."

According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders currently price in a 72.5% probability of a Fed rate hike in October. The market is now focused on a series of US economic data, including the consumer confidence index and job openings data due later on Tuesday. (Jinshi)

Odaily News: After Vitalik Buterin released his open-source novel "Snowmoon," a same-name concept token $ZC (Zipcoin) appeared on-chain. GMGN data shows that $ZC's market cap briefly touched $20.89 million before falling back to approximately $14.34 million, with intraday gains at one point exceeding 41x; separate on-chain observations noted its market cap surpassed $15 million on the 29th.

Some traders created separate tokens such as $SNOWMOON, $ZC, and $EMERALD based on elements from the novel including the book title, currency, and AI assistant, sparking a rapid round of speculation around the text's worldbuilding.

After $ZC launched on STOCKER, it drove $STOCKER up approximately 10x at one point, with related observations noting its market cap at around $15 million, while $STOCKER was approximately $7 million.

Around the "Snowmoon" narrative, some have further speculated that Vitalik was "disguising" a privacy coin whitepaper within the novel

Odaily report: According to monitoring by SlowMist's Cos, the Chainflip bridge is attempting to block North Korean hacker money laundering, but the response speed of AML/KYT lags behind the speed of money laundering. Money laundering groups use automation to split funds into large numbers of small amounts, transferring them across chains through various bridges; if funds are intercepted or returned by risk controls, they immediately try the next money laundering path, ultimately converting to BTC and continuing to obfuscate the source of funds through CoinJoin. This money laundering operation is still continuously evolving.

Odaily: Min Byung-deok, a senior member of the policy committee of South Korea's ruling Democratic Party, said that crypto taxation should only be introduced after the Framework Act on Digital Assets is passed, and that it is not appropriate to start levying taxes before the underlying law is in place. He pointed out that difficulties in tracking income from overseas trading platforms and the inability to carry over investment losses reflect that the conditions for tax administration are not yet mature.

The South Korean government still insists on implementing the virtual asset income tax as scheduled. Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il said that the current tax law stipulates that virtual asset income will be taxed starting next year, and about 85% of investors hold less than 5 million won, so after deducting the basic exemption of 2.5 million won, most investors will not need to pay taxes or will face a relatively low tax burden. Under the current rules, income from the transfer or lending of virtual assets is subject to a 20% tax rate on annual net gains, losses may not be carried forward, and the actual filing and payment window is expected to open in May 2028.
