Odaily News reports that an analysis by the South Korean National Assembly Budget Office shows that a Korean won-pegged stablecoin could save South Korean merchants approximately $275 million to $3.8 billion annually in payment processing fees. The report notes that USD stablecoins account for 98.8% of the global $312.3 billion stablecoin market, and a Korean won stablecoin could offer merchants a domestic alternative. The Budget Office warned that the outflow of funds from bank deposits could weaken banks' credit intermediation role, and large-scale redemptions could force issuers to sell off reserve assets, potentially causing the stablecoin to depeg and undermining market confidence. The Budget Office called for the establishment of reserve requirements, restrictions on stablecoin yields, and stronger oversight of tokens that could threaten financial stability. South Korea plans to expand tokenized securities in February 2027, and subsequently connect the blockchain securities market with stablecoin payment infrastructure.

Odaily News HSBC's Global Chief Investment Officer Willem Sels stated that U.S. stocks are not as expensive as they appear, and valuations have yet to fully reflect the scale of AI-driven productivity and earnings growth. Sels noted that the P/E ratio gap between U.S. and European stocks has narrowed, but valuation multiples have not yet fully captured what he calls the structural investment cycle of AI. Sels added that chipmakers in particular are being discounted by investors, even as earnings growth forecasts for 2027 are being questioned, though he believes this skepticism will reverse as companies provide more concrete evidence through orders and guidance.
Sels is broadly bullish on equities, stating that the stock market has repeatedly shaken off headwinds because the resilience of the economy and corporate earnings has exceeded expectations, and governments and businesses have responded proactively to shocks rather than passively waiting. He noted that companies adopting AI are seeing stronger earnings, revenue, and profit growth compared to non-adopters—particularly in the U.S.—proving that the technology is already delivering real productivity gains. The biggest risk to equities is a sharp rise in bond yields, with the 10-year Treasury yield around 5% seen as a potential trigger point for volatility. He acknowledged that the market has "long been spoiled by low bond volatility," but insisted that the tailwind of strong earnings makes it difficult for stocks to stop rising. (Jin Shi)
