Seqlense Investment Brief 33 - EN
Seqlense Investment Brief 33 Investment Brief #33 tracks how innovation is moving into the core of financial infrastructure. In Europe, the MiCA review advances (targeted consultation open until 30 September) while the ECB prepares Pontes for settling tokenised transactions in central bank money, with Appia to follow, and Isabel Schnabel argues that stablecoins can complement but not replace central bank money. In the US, the SEC proposes modernising transfer agent rules for blockchain and tokenised securities. Elsewhere: gold corrects sharply after a record August, the CSSF extends DORA to third-country branches, euro area bank lending accelerates, the FCA warns that young investors overtrust unregulated AI tools, Brussels examines Google's AI-search opt-out, OpenAI restricts its "Critical"-rated Astra model, and humanoid robotics valuations run ahead of industrial reality.
