Citadel Securities: Rising U.S. Treasury yields stem from a strengthening economy, not from heightened inflation concerns.
Coin World News, Citadel Securities: Rising U.S. Treasury yields stem from a strengthening economy, not from heightened inflation concerns. Regarding the recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields to multi-decade highs, Citadel Securities believes the reason behind it is strong U.S. economic growth and intensified competition for capital, not rising market concerns about inflation. Nohshad Shah, Citadel Securities' head of fixed income sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, wrote in a note to clients on Monday that almost all of the increase in 10-year U.S. Treasury yields in September came from real yields, while inflation expectations remained relatively stable. Real yields reflect a U.S. economy supported by fiscal easing, accommodative financial conditions and massive investment in artificial intelligence. He wrote that the market is "assessing the strength and durability of economic growth... and the real interest rate needed to accommodate that growth." "Investors are essentially demanding higher inflation-adjusted returns, not merely more protection against inflation."
OKX files with the SEC to launch tokenized U.S. stock trading.
Coin World News: OKX filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Sunday to launch a tokenized stock trading platform, becoming one of the first major cryptocurrency exchanges to take advantage of new U.S. rules. The new rules allow digital versions of publicly listed company shares to be traded on cryptocurrency platforms. OKXICE LLC is a joint venture established by cryptocurrency exchange operator OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. The company plans to seek approval to initially offer tokenized stocks of 63 listed companies, including Nvidia, Apple, Coca-Cola, Cisco, and McDonald's. Intercontinental Exchange acquired a partial stake in OKX in March, in a deal that valued the latter at $25 billion. The two parties agreed to cooperate on U.S.-regulated cryptocurrency futures business. Last month, the SEC adopted a temporary exemption that cleared the way for blockchain versions of securities to be traded in the United States, opening a new battleground for cryptocurrency platforms to compete with traditional exchanges.
