**[Australia Imposes Sanctions on North Korean Hacker Groups Suspected of Cryptocurrency Theft]** On November 6, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs announced financial sanctions and travel bans against cybercrime organizations and individuals associated with the North Korean regime. The sanctions target North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau-affiliated hacker groups "Lazarus Group," "Andariel," "Chosun Expo," and "Kim Su Gil" (transliteration), as well as Chosun Expo-affiliated hacker Park Jin Hyok (transliteration). Park Jin Hyok and the Lazarus Group are suspected of involvement in ransomware attacks, while other organizations have been accused of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure such as international healthcare systems and nuclear power plants. According to the "Multinational Sanctions Monitoring Team (MSMT)" report, these groups stole approximately AUD 1.9 billion (equivalent to KRW 1.8 trillion) in cryptocurrency last year. The sanctioned entities had previously been subjected to sanctions by South Korea and the United States.

[Gold Prices Approach the $4,000 Mark, U.S. Treasury Yields May Pose Pressure] Analyst Justin Low stated that spot gold prices rebounded to the $3,980-$3,990 range on Tuesday after a sell-off, but lacked the momentum to break through the psychological $4,000 level. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.16% yesterday, hitting a one-month high. If it continues climbing to 4.21%, it could boost the dollar's performance and exert pressure on sentiment in the gold market. Recent U.S. private sector economic data slightly exceeded expectations, which may influence the Federal Reserve's December decision. Traders are pricing in a roughly 61% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in December, but uncertainty remains, and adjustments to rate cut expectations could have a significant impact on gold prices. Additionally, the seasonal bullish cycle for precious metals from December to January is approaching.

[Goldman Sachs: Trump Tariffs May Be Ruled Illegal, But Overall Trade Impact Limited] Goldman Sachs analysis points out that during oral arguments, the U.S. Supreme Court raised doubts about the legality of tariffs imposed by President Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with the likelihood of the tariffs being ruled unconstitutional increasing. Prediction markets indicate that the probability of the Supreme Court upholding the tariffs has dropped by approximately 10 percentage points, and the final ruling is expected to be announced between December 2025 and January 2026. If the tariffs are ruled illegal, the government may need several months to refund approximately $115 billion to $145 billion in collected tariffs. However, it is expected that similar tariffs will be reintroduced through other legal avenues. As a result, the overall impact on trade dynamics is expected to be limited, with tariff adjustments likely to involve smaller trade partners and have minimal effects on major economies such as the EU. In the short term, the handling of refunds and tariff adjustments may trigger market volatility.

[Coinbase Urges Treasury to Strictly Adhere to the Original Intent of the GENIUS Act] Coinbase has submitted feedback to the U.S. Treasury, urging it to strictly follow Congress's original intent when formulating implementation rules for the GENIUS Act, avoiding excessive expansion of regulatory scope. Coinbase emphasized that non-financial software, blockchain validators, and open-source protocols should be explicitly excluded from the scope of regulation. The Chief Policy Officer pointed out that third-party reward programs should not be considered 'interest' to ensure alignment with the spirit of the Act. Additionally, Coinbase suggested treating payment-based stablecoins as cash equivalents to optimize tax and accounting processes. The GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, aims to establish a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins in the United States.
