Jinse Finance reported that cryptocurrency CFOs are calling on the international banking regulator, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), to revise the 1250% risk weight assigned to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies under the Basel III framework. Private equity is the second highest risk-weighted sector, with a weight of 400% under the current Basel III banking system. Chris Perkins, President of investment firm CoinFund, stated that the capital rules under Basel III discourage banks from holding bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because the collateral cost of holding digital assets is relatively high, which reduces banks' return on equity—a key indicator of bank profitability.

According to data from the US Department of the Treasury, in the 12 months ending July this year, overseas investors made net purchases of US stocks totaling $942 billion, marking the highest rolling 12-month total since records began in 1985. The net purchases in the second quarter alone reached $426 billion, setting a new single-quarter record. Meanwhile, overseas demand for US Treasuries has noticeably cooled, with purchase volumes falling significantly. As a result, the US is facing higher costs in government debt financing.
