On August 28th, during Meituans Q2 earnings call, CEO Wang Xing shared Meituans internationalization progress: "Keeta began trial operations in the Saudi market in September 2024, and achieved profitability in July of this year, taking only 22 months." He also stated that Keeta will focus on operations in existing markets in the second half of this year, paying attention to improving business operational efficiency. Meanwhile, he remains confident in the long-term potential of the Brazilian market.On August 28th, Allianz Chief Advisor El-Erian stated, "Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh is about to deliver his first Jackson Hole keynote address. At this crucial moment, he faces a delicate challenge: how to respond to the highly diverse expectations of the market and various sectors. On one hand, some hope he will continue the tradition of previous Fed chairs, providing forward-looking guidance while elaborating on the current policy response mechanism—how the Fed will make policy decisions in response to economic data and changing circumstances. On the other hand, others hope he will return to the original long-term strategic positioning of this unique meeting. This means focusing more on the increasing and more complex domestic economic and policy issues in the context of profound structural changes driven by technological innovation and geoeconomics. Balancing these two expectations is no easy task. This balance is not only difficult to maintain but also almost certain to satisfy everyone. Meanwhile, policy factors outside the Fed further increase the difficulty of decision-making. However, Warshs speech will undoubtedly provide an important window for the outside world to gain a deeper understanding of the new Fed chairs policy philosophy and leadership style. Personally, I hope his speech will focus more on long-term structural issues, especially given the significant disagreements within the FOMC."On August 28th, the Securities Association of China and the Asset Management Association of China, based on their previous practical experience and research findings, jointly drafted the "Securities Company Trading Information System Access Management Standards (Trial Implementation)".

Cryptoverse: Messi takes on Ronaldo in fan coin world cup

The soccer World Cup, which started on November 20, has stoked interest in this specialized breed of cryptocurrency, which are generally associated with sports clubs like Barcelona or Brazil.


According to Kaiko, a Paris-based cryptocurrency data company, the average daily trading volumes for these tokens increased to almost $300 million in November from $32 million the previous month.

The volume has increased by ten times, which is significant for these coins, according to research analyst Dessislava Aubert.


These tokens give certain consumers the opportunity to support their team and get benefits like the possibility to win prizes and the ability to choose the music played during games. Others see the tradeable coins as a fresh potential for investing.


But it takes a courageous investor to try to draw any logical connections between fluctuating coin prices and actual occurrences.


In the wake of the team's shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening World Cup game, the Argentina team's token dropped 25% to $5.26. However, since the team's subsequent victory over Mexico, which gave fan relief, it has fallen another 22%.


The value of Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal coin increased by 119% to $7 in the ten days before the tournament, but it then dropped by almost half even though the team was unbeaten and in first place of its group going into Monday's match against Uruguay, which it won to advance to the knockout round.


In club football, despite their sparkling rise to the top of the English Premier League, Arsenal's token has dropped 12.5% to $1.68 since the season began.


Researchers claim that the general state of the cryptocurrency market is partly to blame for price declines and that investors' aversion to risk has caused the flimsy assets to wither.


According to data from CoinGecko, the total market cap for fan coins increased to $401 million on the first weekend of the World Cup from $256 million roughly 10 days earlier, but it has since dropped back below $300 million.


People shouldn't purchase the coins primarily with the intention of making money, according to Siddharth Jaiswal, founder and CEO of Sportzchain, which predominantly issues tokens for the Asian market.


The icing on the cake, in his words, is that the tool is accessible via the blockchain and may be readily sold in the future, giving it a financial significance.


But the first impression should never be that you are purchasing the fan token to make money.
