According to FinanceFeeds, Tether co-founder Reeve Collins stated that the stablecoin industry is entering the "2.0 era." Currently, the stablecoin infrastructure still has structural issues, and the next-generation solutions need to address the problem of users not being able to earn returns on reserve assets. The core logic of the stablecoin 1.0 model is "users provide 1 dollar, and the issuer issues 1 token," but users only gain the convenience of payments and transfers without sharing in the reserve earnings. In the future, financial services will gradually become infrastructure, and "users will not care which bank sends the funds," while AI agents may choose different financial ecosystems based on user interests. The next phase of competition in stablecoins will revolve around financial infrastructure and revenue distribution models.Regarding regulatory issues, Reeve Collins disclosed that he still holds Bitcoin for the long term, while also pointing out that dollar stablecoins essentially remain an extension of the U.S. financial system, which carries regulatory reach risks and differs from central bank digital currency (CBDC) models, the latter of which may bring stronger programmability and financial monitoring capabilities.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, El Salvador is continuously optimizing its immigration system to attract high-net-worth foreign talent and capital (including families). According to Decree No. 531, effective March 31, 2026, the residency requirement for temporary residents has been reduced from a mandatory stay of 9 months per year to a cumulative or continuous stay of only 90 days per year. This adjustment is primarily aimed at entrepreneurs, investors, and remote workers who need to frequently cross borders.El Salvador offers one of the most attractive tax systems in Latin America for individuals with foreign-source income. The country implements a territorial tax system, meaning that only income generated within El Salvador is subject to taxation. A significant income tax reform in 2024 further clarifies that both residents and non-residents can be exempt from income tax on their foreign-source income. This means freelancers, remote workers (such as content creators, developers, and entrepreneurs with foreign income) can enjoy a 0% income tax rate in El Salvador on their overseas income, with no limits on the amount.Additionally, under the country's laws, capital gains related to Bitcoin are not taxed, and the country does not impose wealth tax, inheritance tax, or gift tax. The real focus is whether the individual's country of origin recognizes this arrangement; because most countries typically do not easily relinquish their taxing rights over their tax residents and often conduct strict scrutiny and recovery on tax residency issues.

According to Fortune, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are competing for the lead underwriter position for the future IPOs of OpenAI and Anthropic. Previously, Goldman Sachs secured the lead underwriter role for the SpaceX IPO, which is expected to take place on June 12. Both OpenAI and Anthropic's IPOs are expected to raise at least $60 billion, totaling over $120 billion.Jay Ritter, an IPO expert from the University of Florida, stated that the investment bank that secures the lead underwriter position will determine how much IPO stock allocation each fund receives, thus potentially earning far more than other underwriters. Ritter noted that institutional investors often pay a significant amount of "soft dollars" to lead underwriters to secure more IPO allocations, which refers to the portion of trading commissions that exceeds the actual execution costs.If it is still uncertain whether Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley will secure the lead underwriter position for OpenAI and Anthropic, funds may simultaneously direct more trading commissions to both investment banks to increase their chances of receiving allocations. For example, in the case of the SpaceX IPO, if the fundraising scale reaches $86 billion, the underwriting fee would be approximately $600 million. However, if the stock price rises by 20% on the first day, the paper gains for IPO investors would exceed $17 billion, and Ritter estimates that at least 30% of that could flow back to the investment bank in the form of soft dollars, about $5 billion, far exceeding the underwriting fee itself.If both OpenAI and Anthropic see a 20% increase on their first day of trading, the paper gains for investors would reach $24 billion. Based on the same ratio, investment banks could potentially receive over $7 billion in soft dollars, most of which would flow to the lead underwriter. Currently, both OpenAI and Anthropic have secretly submitted draft registration statements, but the listing dates have not yet been determined.
