The NYSE plans to integrate blockchain into its existing market infrastructure rather than replace traditional systems.
According to CoinDesk, Jon Herrick, Chief Product Officer of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), stated at the New York Digital Assets Summit that the NYSE is focused on integrating blockchain technology into its existing market infrastructure—not replacing traditional systems. Herrick emphasized the exchange’s pursuit of “interoperability,” exploring use cases for tokenized assets within current systems—including real-time or near-real-time settlement and extended trading hours. He also noted that existing mechanisms such as central clearing retain irreplaceable risk-management value and must be preserved. Herrick predicted that the distinction between traditional and tokenized assets may gradually fade over the next decade. Additionally, NYSE’s parent company, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), made a strategic investment in crypto exchange OKX earlier this month, and the two parties will collaborate on crypto futures and tokenized equities.

Greeks.live: Q1’s Largest Options Expiration Approaches, Institutions Aggressively Position Long-Dated Call Options
According to Greeks.live (@GreeksLive), tomorrow will mark the largest options expiry date of Q1 this year, with nearly 40% of options expiring simultaneously. BTC’s maximum pain point is at $75,000—however, current market conditions make it difficult to reach this level; the put/call ratio remains around 0.6, indicating an overall bearish sentiment. Regarding volatility, front-end implied volatility (IV) remains strong as the expiry date approaches; however, IV is highly likely to drop sharply (“IV Crush”) following settlement. Short-dated options buyers face severe time-value decay, while sellers hold a clear advantage. On-chain data from Deribit’s block trades today shows institutional “smart money” actively adjusting positions: large-scale unwinding of contracts expiring tomorrow, and concentrated positioning in out-of-the-money (OTM) call options for June and September—betting on a medium- to long-term price rebound.

Wang Xing: Meituan will not blindly pursue becoming a “token factory,” but instead views AI as a strategic opportunity.
Regarding its AI business, Meituan CEO Wang Xing stated that “in the AI revolution, the only rational strategy is offense—not defense.” However, Meituan will not blindly pursue becoming a “token factory”; instead, it views AI as a strategic opportunity. Wang believes AI serves as a “super entry point,” with the key lying in precisely understanding user needs and efficiently executing tasks—a level of complexity far exceeding that of a “chatbot.” “We aim to leverage next-generation AI technologies to make the Meituan app the users’ top choice for fulfilling local life needs. We will enhance AI-powered search capabilities and execution capabilities, striving to upgrade Meituan into a leading AI-driven application—and the AI entry point for future local life needs,” Wang said.
