As the "leader" of the Prince Group of Cambodia, Chen Zhi has been apprehended, prompting various judicial jurisdictions to initiate the disposal of assets related to the Prince Group. Local courts have appointed Joint Provisional Liquidators (JPLs) to investigate and preserve the corresponding assets surrounding the 30 British Virgin Islands (BVI) entities actually controlled by Chen Zhi. The bankruptcy proceedings in the British Virgin Islands are collective in nature, and the eligibility for creditor claims is not determined by nationality or jurisdiction; potential victims from any jurisdiction can file claims, which means that victims of online fraud and gambling from China can also submit claims at some point in the future.It is reported that the liquidation list includes 30 BVI companies, including Prince Global Group Ltd, most of which are actually controlled by Chen Zhi, while only 28 BVI companies are listed on the U.S. Treasury's sanctions list. Furthermore, "the scope of liquidation is not solely determined by sanctions," as two companies not sanctioned but included in the liquidation list, Amber Hill Ventures Limited ("AHV") and Lateral Bridge Global Limited ("LBG"), have been mentioned in U.S. judicial proceedings and are considered entities within the widely associated network of the Prince Group, accused of having no other practical use besides participating in money laundering. The prosecution claims that of the more than 120,000 bitcoins confiscated in the U.S., over 90,000 flowed through AHV, LBG, and another company registered in the Cayman Islands, Future Technology Investment; among them, the chairman and shareholder of AHV is Fan Yang, and the chairman and shareholder of LBG is Minyi Tang, who are referred to in the U.S. indictment as "Co-conspirator 6" and "Co-conspirator 7," respectively. Regarding the claims of victims of online fraud and gambling, a claims filing and distribution process has not yet been established. If a liquidation process is initiated in the future and there are sufficient funds to support distributions to creditors, the liquidators will establish a claims process, adjudicate claims, and make distributions in accordance with the British Virgin Islands bankruptcy law.

According to CoinDesk, Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of global financial services company Apex Group, stated that if the United States continues to delay cryptocurrency legislation or fails to establish a clear and definitive regulatory framework for digital assets, it may lead to related businesses shifting to Asia, the Middle East, and Bermuda.He believes that these jurisdictions are advancing more quickly and have the opportunity to fill the regulatory void left by the United States.Hughes also mentioned that Europe will not benefit from this, arguing that its Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is evolving slowly and has many restrictions. The U.S. CLARITY Act did not receive the 60 votes needed to advance in the Senate in September due to controversies over ethical clauses and stablecoin rewards. The bill aims to clarify federal regulatory rules for digital assets and delineate the regulatory responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Becerra stated that the "GENIUS Act" is a watershed moment in the U.S. financial sector, further solidifying the United States' position as a global cryptocurrency hub.He pointed out that just as President Lincoln's National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for banks to issue currency, the "GENIUS Act" establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.Becerra noted that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC) final rule advances the implementation of this landmark legislation, providing a clear and pragmatic foundation for private sector innovation, competition, and the United States' leadership in the digital asset space.

OpenAI announced the acquisition of San Francisco startup Orchestra Bio, which has developed AI agents to help pharmaceutical companies track the progress of drug development projects. Orchestra's team and platform will be integrated into OpenAI's life sciences product line Rosalind, aimed at biologists and chemists, with the transaction amount undisclosed. Orchestra was founded in the fall of 2022, with seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Definition Capital, Insight Partners, and 8VC, raising a total of approximately $20 million.According to OpenAI, a new drug can take up to 15 years from initial conception to approval in the United States, and the cost of bringing a single approved drug to market can exceed $2.6 billion, with less than 10% of candidate drugs entering human trials ultimately reaching the market. Orchestra's AI agents can automatically monitor tasks and flag issues, analyze how setbacks like production batch failures affect the overall development project, compile relevant information, and compare response strategies, ultimately allowing scientists and project leaders to make decisions.This acquisition follows competitor Anthropic's acquisition of Coefficient Bio for approximately $400 million in April, reflecting the competition among AI labs for new drug development workflows. In April, OpenAI launched the model GPT-Rosalind specifically designed for biology and drug discovery, available only to vetted U.S. corporate clients such as Amgen and Moderna, with the accompanying product Rosalind Workbench connecting the model to research tools and data.

According to the official website of the People's Bank of China, the central bank released the "Policy Position on the Renminbi Exchange Rate," clarifying that China implements a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand, referencing a basket of currencies, and has exited from normalized foreign exchange interventions since 2017.The central bank stated that China has no intention of gaining trade competitive advantages through devaluation, never engages in competitive currency devaluation, and only uses macro-prudential tools to prevent short-term overshooting under significant external shocks such as the pandemic and the tariff war in April 2025. Since the exchange rate reform in 2005, the Renminbi has appreciated by a cumulative 23% against the US dollar, and the nominal effective exchange rate has appreciated by over 50%; since 2025, it has appreciated by about 9% against the US dollar.The central bank also pointed out that using the International Monetary Fund's external balance assessment conclusions as the official basis for the undervaluation of the Renminbi is a misinterpretation and misuse, and that alleviating global imbalances requires joint action from deficit and surplus countries.
