ECB Vice President Guindos: If Trump implements tariff plan, inflation will face huge impact

Luis de Guindos, Vice President of the European Central Bank, stated that if Trump implements the import tariff levels he threatened during his election campaign, it could have a devastating impact on global economic growth and inflation. Guindos made the statement at an event in London on Wednesday, saying that economic output would weaken, price pressures would increase, and existing trade flows would be disrupted. The European Central Bank will incorporate any policies announced by the new US government into its outlook and then decide how to respond. Guindos stated that decision makers will continue to be guided by data and will closely monitor bank lending surveys to determine whether the financing environment is stimulative or restrictive. He also stated that the forecasts scheduled to be released next month will not differ significantly from those in September.

  • Bullish and Four Other Institutions Form Issuer-Led Tokenized Securities Alliance

    On September 24, CoinDesk reported that Bullish (NYSE:BLSH), along with shareholder services and market infrastructure company Equiniti, has formed the 'Issuer-Led Tokenized Securities Alliance' in collaboration with Alpaca, Apex Fintech Solutions, and DriveWealth. The alliance advocates for tokenized stocks to be directly linked to the issuer's official shareholder register, preserving voting rights, dividends, and corporate action rights, thereby avoiding synthetic products that only provide price exposure without legal rights. Key focus areas include shareholder rights protection, interoperability between traditional and on-chain infrastructure, issuance, transfer, settlement custody, and secondary market trading arrangements. This move follows the U.S. SEC's innovation exemption on September 17, which allows limited on-chain trading of U.S. listed stocks.

  • Bitget CEO: Recent Platform Attack Not Due to Key Leak, No Accurate Time for Withdrawal Recovery

    On September 25, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen publicly addressed the platform's recent attack during a live stream, stating that the platform is currently preparing to restore withdrawals, but there is no accurate timeline for recovery yet. Both internal and external technical teams at Bitget are working to identify the issues and develop solutions, aiming to restore relevant services as soon as possible. Gracy Chen noted that the method of attack in this theft incident differs from previous security events experienced by other exchanges. According to the current investigation, hackers did not execute the attack through key leaks; instead, they bypassed certain systems and initiated withdrawals through the system. She mentioned that a key leak would be the worst-case scenario, but this incident is not one of those. Due to the involvement of multiple cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks in this incident, Bitget cannot directly reopen withdrawals for the time being. Withdrawals will only be restored after confirming that funds are completely secure and a more robust handling plan is established. Gracy Chen stated that the platform has completed a comprehensive loss prevention measure and that no further attacks will occur; withdrawals will be reopened once the security issues are more definitively addressed.
