Odaily Planet Daily reports that major Wall Street banks are preparing for another strong showing in emerging markets, anticipating a weaker dollar and a surge in investment in artificial intelligence to provide further momentum for the asset class. These positive factors are expected to drive further gains in emerging markets, with local currency bonds delivering a 7% return – the best performance since 2020 – and currency indices rising by over 6%. Morgan Stanley strategists point out that with the US economy slowing, the Federal Reserve may further cut interest rates, which will support the market rally. The bank recommends clients maintain long positions in emerging market local currency bonds, expecting returns of around 8% by mid-2026. For emerging market dollar bonds, they predict a "high single-digit" gain over the next 12 months.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Bank of America's systemic importance has been upgraded by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), meaning it will face higher capital requirements. In the FSB's list of Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs), the bank has been moved to the third highest tier. The additional capital buffer required by the company has increased from 1.5% to 2%. Deutsche Bank was downgraded one tier, with its additional capital requirement decreasing to 1%. Aside from these changes compared to the previous year, there are no other adjustments.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Wormhole Foundation has purchased $5 million worth of W tokens, adding them to its balance sheet.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, prediction markets are rapidly becoming a new hotspot in the crypto and fintech sector. Kalshi secured over $1.3 billion in new capital this quarter, causing its valuation to surge from $5 billion to $11 billion within weeks. Its competitor, Polymarket, is also in talks for new funding, targeting a valuation of $12 billion to $15 billion. Market capital is highly concentrated on the Kalshi and Polymarket platforms, with investors betting that they will form a duopoly in prediction markets, becoming the core venue for trading event risk and sentiment data. Both platforms' momentum benefits from a clearer regulatory path in the United States: Kalshi is a CFTC-licensed exchange, and Polymarket has just received CFTC approval to re-enter the US market.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, investment firm YZiLabs has submitted a preliminary consent statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expand the board of directors of Nasdaq-listed CEA Industries Inc. (BNC) and elect several new directors by soliciting written consent from shareholders. YZiLabs stated that its investment in BNC was based on its positive outlook on the company's fundamentals, its digital asset treasury (DAT) strategy centered on BNB, and its potential to become a "category-defining DAT company." However, since completing its $500 million PIPE funding round this summer, BNC's stock performance has clearly deviated from this logic, even though BNB's price has seen considerable gains during this period. Ella Zhang, head of YZiLabs, stated that BNC's current poor performance is mainly due to "weak strategic execution, insufficient investor communication, and inadequate board oversight." Therefore, they hope to strengthen corporate governance, improve information disclosure and market communication, and realign the stock price with the intrinsic value of net asset value and the treasury strategy by expanding the board and introducing more experienced and competent new directors. YZiLabs also specifically named issues such as delayed filing of key SEC documents, failure to update digital asset treasury and NAV data in a timely manner, and confusion regarding its external identity and strategic narrative, stating that shareholders can no longer wait. The announcement indicates that the parties involved in this nomination process are expected to include YZiLabs Management, CZ, and several proposed board candidates. YZiLabs currently directly holds approximately 2.15 million BNC common shares and holds various warrants that could potentially be converted into common shares, but these warrants will not be exercised in the short term due to the 4.99% shareholding cap. YZiLabs stated that it will soon announce a specific list of board candidates, aiming to unlock the company's potential value through stronger board governance without undermining the vision of the BNC digital asset treasury.
