Odaily News: Japan's Financial Services Agency, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Japan, and major financial institutions plan to build a nationwide blockchain-based settlement infrastructure for stocks and Japanese government bonds (JGBs). A working group is expected to be established this summer, with related efforts slated to begin as early as 2027. If formal approval is granted and testing goes smoothly, the new system could become operational in the early 2030s.

Under the plan, the Bank of Japan will convert a portion of reserves held at the central bank into digital tokens, serving as a wholesale CBDC for use among financial institutions. Currently, Japanese stocks and government bonds settle on T+2 and T+1 cycles, respectively. The new system aims to shorten both to near-real-time settlement. Additionally, major Japanese banks including MUFG, SMBC, and Mizuho have already conducted pilot programs involving tokenized stocks and Japanese government bonds. (CoinDesk)

According to Odaily, the Iranian rial hit a record low this week, with the open market exchange rate falling to approximately 2.02 million rials per US dollar on August 24, compared to around 1.53 million rials in the first quarter. During the same period, the US government launched "Operation Economic Exodus," adding more than 60 entities to the Treasury Department's blacklist and, for the first time, designating digital assets as a sanctionable category.

State-controlled farms linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) control approximately 65% of Iran's Bitcoin mining capacity. Iranian miners have accounted for roughly 3% to 7% of global Bitcoin hashrate since 2019, with the mined Bitcoin valued at an estimated $1.35 billion to $3.15 billion at various stages.

Iran legalized Bitcoin mining in 2019, allowing licensed operators to use industrial electricity at approximately $0.004 per kilowatt-hour and sell the mined tokens to the Central Bank of Iran. Chainalysis estimates that IRGC-affiliated wallets received over $3 billion in Q4 2025; Elliptic states that the Central Bank of Iran holds at least $507 million in USDT.

The US Treasury sanctioned Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex in June. Nobitex had processed more than half of Iran's digital asset inflows; in April, the US Treasury seized nearly $500 million in Iran-linked crypto assets. (Bitcoin.com News)

Among them, there are about 44,600 call options and 37,100 put options, with a Put/Call ratio of 0.83. The most concentrated strike prices for calls are currently $75,000 and $80,000, corresponding to open interest notional values of approximately $236 million and $157 million, respectively.

Options with strike prices within 5% of the current spot price account for over $500 million in notional value, and the approaching expiry may trigger more frequent Gamma hedging activity.
