According to the Financial Times, Apple is lobbying the Trump administration for approval to purchase memory chips from Chinese chipmaker Changxin Storage. Due to multiple factors leading to a rise in memory prices, Apple unusually raised the prices of MacBook and iPad on Thursday, resulting in a market value loss of $263 billion. Apple hopes to alleviate the financial pressure from suppliers by including Changxin Storage in its list of memory suppliers.Changxin Storage and Yangtze Memory Technologies have currently been placed on the U.S. Department of Defense's blacklist of Chinese military companies (the 1260H list). The U.S. Department of Commerce had planned to add Changxin Storage to the entity list last year, but the White House postponed the plan due to ongoing trade negotiations with China at that time. Currently, aside from Chinese companies, the global memory chip industry is mainly dominated by three companies: U.S.-based Micron, and South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix.

According to a report by Bloomvingbit, the South Korean Ministry of Finance and Economy stated that tokenized stocks are considered securities rather than virtual assets. If the Financial Services Commission confirms their securities nature, taxes can be imposed immediately under the current Capital Markets Act, potentially as early as the second half of this year. Officials from the Ministry of Finance pointed out that although tokenized stocks are formally virtual assets, they are essentially closer to securities.The Financial Services Commission has previously clarified in its token securities guidelines that token securities are securities issued in the form of digital assets and fall under the jurisdiction of the Capital Markets Act. Currently, the market generally believes that tokenized stocks are classified as virtual assets (non-taxable assets) and can enjoy tax exemption until the implementation of virtual asset taxation next year. However, the Ministry of Finance emphasizes its stance on taxation and is establishing an information exchange system with overseas tax authorities such as the IRS. Offshore transactions on overseas platforms are also included in the taxation scope; regardless of where they are issued, as long as the economic value and rights structure essentially belong to securities, they can be subject to dividend income tax.

According to CCTV News, the Ministry of National Security released a security alert today. For some time now, with the rapid growth in demand for artificial intelligence applications, "AI Transit Stations" that provide bulk access services to large models both domestically and internationally have quickly gained popularity in the country. However, the current "AI Transit" market is mixed, with some "AI Transit Stations" lacking operational qualifications and having weak security protections. Issues such as user privacy breaches and data reselling occur frequently, and the risks to data security cannot be ignored."AI Transit Stations" act as an intermediary layer between users and the official services of AI model vendors. They unify and integrate the application programming interfaces (APIs) of various AI model vendors into one platform, which is then provided to users. Figuratively speaking, "AI Transit Stations" serve as "intermediaries" between users and large models, helping users conveniently access multiple AI large models and meet their diverse usage needs in one stop.

The Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, Ivan Chebeskov, stated that he does not wish to allow dollar-denominated stablecoins to circulate in the Russian market.

The Russian Ministry of Finance believes it is necessary to establish a regulatory framework specifically for stablecoins and to prioritize the development of stablecoins pegged to the ruble and the currencies of friendly countries, while also granting the Central Bank of Russia the authority to adjust the list of relevant assets.
