Amid a significant shift in the US government's attitude towards digital assets, PwC, one of the Big Four accounting firms, is increasing its investment in cryptocurrencies and related businesses. Paul Griggs, PwC's US head, stated that this strategic shift began last year, primarily benefiting from the appointment of pro-crypto regulatory officials and the advancement of several digital asset-related legislations in the US Congress. Griggs pointed out that the regulatory framework surrounding stablecoins and the Genius Act are helping to boost market confidence in these assets, and asset tokenization will continue to develop, requiring PwC to be deeply involved in this emerging ecosystem. The report states that these statements reflect that changes in the policy environment are prompting traditional blue-chip institutions to reassess and gradually enter the digital asset market, which they had previously maintained a cautious stance towards.

On the first trading day of 2026, the RMB spot exchange rate against the US dollar continued its appreciation trend. Today, the RMB spot exchange rate against the US dollar rose to a high of 6.977 during the day, once again hitting a new high since mid-May 2023. At 4:30 PM, the intraday closing price of the RMB spot exchange rate against the US dollar was 6.9806, an increase of 84 basis points from the previous trading day, reaching a new high since May 17, 2023. Wen Bin, chief economist of China Minsheng Bank, predicts that the RMB may still have room for appreciation in January, supported by seasonal settlement demand. However, the RMB-USD central parity rate has deviated from the spot exchange rate closing price in a depreciating direction, which may indicate some pro-cyclical behavior in the foreign exchange market recently. "Overall, under the policy tone of the regulatory authorities adhering to the principle of maintaining the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level and preventing the risk of exchange rate overshooting, the RMB exchange rate may still be relatively strong in January, but it is not expected to appreciate significantly. It is likely to fluctuate in both directions within the 6.9-7 range for most of the time," Wen Bin pointed out. (The Paper)
