On May 17, Clemens Fuest, Director of the renowned German think tank Ifo Institute for Economic Research, expressed concerns in an interview with a CCTV reporter about the impact of U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran on Germany's economic recovery. According to Jin10, Fuest highlighted that Germany, being a highly export-oriented economy, is currently facing economic challenges due to U.S. tariff policies. He noted that Germany's economic level has stagnated at the 2019 level, marking the seventh consecutive year of stagnation. The recent military actions have disrupted the anticipated economic rebound for Germany this year, which was expected to be driven by government spending and borrowing. As a result, Germany's economic growth is projected to be weak, estimated at around 0.6% for this year. Fuest also mentioned that while Germany is not currently facing shortages in natural gas or other energy supplies, the obstruction of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz poses risks to global energy stability, affecting global industrial and supply chains. This situation further threatens Germany's economic recovery.

The US CLARITY Act, designed to enhance regulatory clarity for the American crypto industry, is anticipated to have a significant impact beyond the sector itself. According to Cointelegraph, venture capital firm a16z crypto expressed optimism about the Act's potential to boost domestic innovation if regulatory clarity is provided to builders. In a recent post, a16z highlighted the GENIUS Act, passed in July 2025, which established a regulatory framework for stablecoins, as a precedent for the potential outcomes of the CLARITY Act. The firm noted that the GENIUS Act's passage led to substantial growth and adoption, benefiting both the U.S. economy and the long-term dominance of the US dollar. The US dollar index, reflecting the dollar's strength against major currencies, stands at 99.27, marking a 1.28% increase over the past month. A16z emphasized that legal frameworks fostering innovation while protecting consumers position America as a global leader. Since its introduction in July 2025, the US CLARITY Act has sparked widespread speculation within the crypto industry regarding its potential influence on global markets. Sharplink Gaming CEO Joseph Chalom remarked that although the legislation is often viewed as a "US phenomenon," it is also perceived as a significant signal for other jurisdictions worldwide. Meanwhile, US asset management firm Grayscale, in a report released on Friday, assessed the likelihood of the legislation passing as high, contingent on bipartisan support to clear the full Senate and become law. Grayscale noted that despite some hurdles, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) advanced in the US Senate Banking Committee, with 13 Republican members and two Democrats voting in favor, while nine Democrats opposed it. With Republicans holding 53 seats, at least seven Democrats would need to support the bill for it to pass. Grayscale remains optimistic, citing the GENIUS Act's Senate approval with 66 votes, including 18 Democrats, as a precedent for potential bipartisan cooperation.

KB Financial Group has announced the successful completion of a technical proof of concept for the Korean won stablecoin, covering the entire process from issuance to offline payment, merchant settlement, and overseas remittance. According to Foresight News, the collaboration involved electronic payment company KG Inicis, Kaia blockchain, and digital asset solutions firm OpenAsset. The validation was conducted using the offline self-service terminals of the coffee chain Hollys as the payment scenario. Consumers were able to complete payments using QR codes without needing to install a digital wallet, with blockchain smart contracts automatically executing the settlement process. In the cross-border remittance validation, the Korean won stablecoin was exchanged for a US dollar stablecoin via Kaia's on-chain liquidity and transferred to an actual bank account through a local partner in Vietnam, completing the process within three minutes and saving approximately 87% in fees compared to the traditional SWIFT method. KB Financial Group stated that it will continue to enhance its operational capabilities based on this validation and will be ready to launch actual services once digital asset-related regulations are established.
