Odaily News: Digital asset infrastructure service provider Taurus SA announced that its tokenization and custody platform has completed integration with Swift's blockchain-based distributed ledger, the international bank communication network.Taurus stated that following this integration, clients can connect their existing digital asset infrastructure to Swift's blockchain ledger and conduct payment transactions using bank-issued tokenized deposits. The first batch of client integrations is expected to go live within days, with the first transactions based on this distributed ledger technology (DLT) expected to be completed within weeks.In July 2026, Swift announced that its blockchain ledger was ready for initial use, with 17 banks from six continents planning to pilot cross-border payments based on tokenized deposits through the system. Subsequently, Standard Chartered and HSBC completed the first real-time cross-border transactions supported by the ledger, establishing connectivity between their respective tokenized deposit systems.Swift stated that the blockchain ledger will serve as a coordination layer for cross-border payments, supporting round-the-clock transfers of tokenized deposits held on participating banks' balance sheets, while continuing to complete clearing through existing financial infrastructures such as real-time gross settlement (RTGS) systems during the final settlement phase.

on the eve of Changxin Technology's listing, multiple ETF fund managers including China Asset Management (ChinaAMC) and Harvest Fund Management issued cautionary notices. Certain ETFs under their management participated in the IPO subscription for Changxin Technology and valued it at the issuance price. However, the Indicative Optimized Portfolio Value (IOPV) for ETFs only reflects the issuance price of Changxin Technology and does not include its market price fluctuations. Therefore, on the first day of Changxin Technology's listing, the IOPV of these ETFs may differ from the fund's net asset value (NAV). Investors are advised to pay attention to the associated investment risks.In this regard, an ETF fund manager revealed that currently, fund companies generally participate in IPO subscriptions for these ETFs together with active equity funds. The ETF's IOPV is strictly calculated based on the PCF (Portfolio Composition File), and restricted stocks such as new shares are not included. If Changxin Technology sees a significant price surge on its listing day, the actual NAV of the participating ETFs would be slightly higher than the IOPV, resulting in a deviation. In such a scenario, potential arbitrage strategies could include buying ETFs while hedging with derivatives, retaining only the deviation's excess exposure. (Source: China Securities Journal Taurus)
