1. Trump says he won't fire Powell early, worried about disrupting the market
U.S. President Trump spoke again about the future of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell during an interview on Friday. He stated that he is "very likely" not to remove Powell from his position before the end of his term, as someone advised him against it, saying "that would disrupt the market." "I wouldn't hesitate for a second to remove him," Trump said, "but they say it would disrupt the market, and anyway, he will be gone in seven or eight months, and then I will replace him with my own person." Earlier on Friday, Trump also said Powell should resign like Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler. -Original

3. Hong Kong stablecoin regulations take effect, beware of fake licensed scams
On August 2, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority officially issued a safety alert, warning against fake licensed stablecoin scams, as the Hong Kong "Stablecoin Regulation" officially took effect, and the regulatory system for stablecoin issuers also began implementation. The regulatory framework is still in its early stages, and the regulatory approach will adopt a "strict first, steady later" policy. With the regulatory system in effect, market participants should act cautiously when communicating with the public to avoid making statements that could lead to misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations. According to the "Stablecoin Regulation," falsely claiming to be a licensee or applicant is illegal. As of today, the Monetary Authority has not issued any stablecoin issuer licenses, and the public should be wary of any claims of being "regulated" or "licensed" stablecoins or stablecoin issuers in Hong Kong. After licenses are issued, the Monetary Authority will upload the list of licensed stablecoin issuers to its official website. -Original
