Odaily reports: Paradis posted on X stating that over the past two weeks, hedge funds have bought US tech stocks at the fastest pace since mid-2025, with newly added long positions mainly concentrated in US semiconductor and semiconductor equipment companies, which also explains the early September rally in stocks such as INTC, BE, and NBIS. Paradis believes that Leopold's timing aligned closely with overall market fund flows and momentum, while Dario's article was published just as hedge funds began rebuilding semiconductor allocations, making the timing less than ideal.

Odaily News: Carolyn Wilkins, a member of the Bank of England (BoE) Financial Policy Committee, said that the growth of dollar stablecoins could reinforce the dollar's global dominance and increase demand for US Treasuries. Speaking at Queen's University Belfast, she noted that dollar stablecoins can facilitate cross-border settlement and expand access to dollar-denominated assets outside the United States.

Tether, the issuer of USDT, and fintech company Circle, the issuer of USDC, held nearly $150 billion in US Treasuries by the end of 2025 and bought about $33 billion that year. Wilkins pointed out that large-scale stablecoin redemptions could force issuers to sell Treasuries, thereby amplifying volatility in stressed markets.

Total stablecoin circulation has now exceeded $300 billion, with 98% of that value pegged to the US dollar. Wilkins said this gives the dollar a significant first-mover advantage, and the development of the stablecoin market now has implications beyond the cryptocurrency sector.

The development of pound sterling stablecoins has been relatively slow. The UK Financial Conduct Authority has tested potential issuers through a dedicated regulatory sandbox and finalized UK stablecoin issuance rules in June; the Bank of England has also tested the feasibility of using stablecoins in coordination with a simulated digital pound for cross-border trade payments.
