IMF says tokenisation could strengthen or fragment financial system

Tokenisation will either strengthen or fragment the financial system depending on policy decisions on money, market infrastructure and legal frameworks, Tobias Adrian said. Moving financial assets and liabilities to a shared ledger compresses execution, clearing and settlement into software-run simultaneous processing, he said. The shift could concentrate risk in platforms, code and market infrastructure providers rather than traditional intermediaries. The IMF report cited tokenised deposits, stablecoins and tokenised central bank reserves.

BYD probes distrust of Tesla FSD with promise of full compensation for self-driving accidents

Tesla has delayed plans to unveil its next-generation Roadster again, pushing the schedule to after August as development linked to SpaceX thruster technology takes longer than expected. The company is also pursuing sensor reliability, including a patent for a camera system that cleans its own lens. Debate continues over the safety of unsupervised driving and compensation for self-driving accidents, as rivals such as BYD, XPeng and Rivian accelerate development and responsibility frameworks.

Bitcoin slides despite U.S. stock market records as miners shift to AI and crypto bills stall

Miner selling and a shift of funds into AI data centres and high-performance computing are cited as factors, along with a large transfer by Trump Media & Technology Group. Delays in U.S. crypto legislation and fading liquidity expectations also weigh.
