Confidant Brings Fine Dining to Industry City
This much-anticipated fine-dining addition, a first for Industry City, is about to open in a setting that combines polished cement, wooden accents, napery and an open kitchen.

A seasonal menu emphasizes dry-aged fish and meats, some from Industry City merchants. Trout mousse, tuna prosciutto and tuna belly crudo can also precede prawn potpie, steamed monkfish with brown butter crumbles, and a whole crown of duck with duck confit salad.

An uncommon Nikkei vibe comes to Carnegie Hill from Jorge Dionicio, a native of Peru who worked at Uchi in Austin, Texas, and whose New York experience has been in Japanese restaurants like Morimoto and Sushi Noz. He makes liberal use of ají amarillo in gyoza, maki and tiradito, and is serving Peruvian lomo saltado, a beef stir-fry; and parihuela, a kind of Peruvian bouillabaisse. The dining room deploys Peruvian textiles for vibrant accents, and there's an omakase counter on the upper level.

A tropical jungle fantasy that has parked its leopard prints, lush greenery and disco balls in pop-up locations in New York and elsewhere, now has a permanent home on Pier 17 in the seaport district. It trumpets its taste of Tulum, the late-Mayan archaeological site on the coast of the Yucatán that now has the vibe of St. Barts. Tulum is where the parent group, Grupo Gitano, run by James Gardner, got its start. An installation in Dubai preceded New York. The menu here is long on Mexican crowd-pleasers. It has taken over parts of two levels of the pier; a private club will open upstairs.

Japanese-French Twin Chefs Bring Kappo Dining to Austin this Fall
Austin Proper Hotel has announced it will open Kappo Kappo, a 25-seat tasting counter that blends Japanese kappo dining with French culinary techniques later this year. The restaurant will be led by twin brothers Haru and Gohei Kishi, who ran the now-closed Proper Sandos by Kishi pop-up in the same space. Designed by Kelly Wearstler and Proper Hotels, the downtown restaurant will feature charred cypress, stone, and warm millwork in a nod to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. At the heart of the concept is kappo, a Japanese style of dining that translates to 'cut and cook.' Guests sit at a counter while chefs prepare and serve each course in real time, a format that emphasizes seasonality, precision, and intimacy. Kappo Kappo's 11-course menu will spotlight wagyu from both Texas and Japan, seafood sourced directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, and produce from local farms. Optional beverage pairings will include sake, wine, beer, and cocktails. The intention was to source all food locally, but the chefs say this isn't possible for certain ingredients, considering the quality they're aiming for. The twin brothers in the kitchen Proper Sandos. Proper Sandos by Kishi 'Seafood from Japan is different — it's more flavorful because the waters around the islands are so nutrient-rich,' Gohei says. 'Rain carries minerals down from the mountains into the sea, and that environment gives the fish an incredible taste.' This is the sort of deep insight into the process that Kappo Kappo will offer diners. The brothers also plan to incorporate omiyage, the Japanese tradition of sending diners home with a small parting gift meant to extend the hospitality of the restaurant. For those unfamiliar with the term, kappo may sound a lot like omakase, but the brothers note that it differs in one key way: intimacy. Rather than leaving everything completely in the chef's hands, guests are invited into the process, able to watch, learn, and interact with chefs as each dish comes together. 'The storytelling component is important,' Haru says. 'When there's meaning behind a dish, it has more impact — it's not just flavor, it's memory.' Born in France to Japanese parents, the brothers say that Kappo Kappo is a natural expression of their upbringing. Gohei pursued a career in Japanese cuisine, while Haru trained in French traditions, including time with Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay. Between them, they bring decades of international experience across Paris, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, Dubai, and Madrid. Outside of the brief Proper Sandos pop-up, this is the first time the two are cooking side-by-side, professionally at least. While Kappo Kappo will mostly focus on Japanese food, the French element will mainly manifest on the menu in the form of classic techniques. The inspiration for Kappo Kappo emanates from the Kishi brothers' childhoods. 'When we were kids, our parents had a ritual called 'on est bien,' which in French means 'we are good' or 'we feel good,'' Haru says. 'For us, it was about having really good food, really good drinks, and being together in a joyful place. That feeling is what we're bringing forward here.'

South Korea Halts Crypto Lending as Market Leverage Sparks Regulatory Concern
South Korean financial authorities have temporarily suspended new crypto lending services in a direct response to a major liquidation event at a local exchange. This move highlights growing global concerns over excessive leverage in the digital asset market. The decision by the country's Financial Services Commission (FSC) follows a recent incident at Bithumb, where regulators noted that more than 27,000 customers tapped lending services in June. As market prices swung against them, a full 13% of these users were forced into liquidation. The authorities stated that this pause will last until formal "Virtual Asset Rental Service Guidelines" can be prepared. They justified the action by noting that "user protection devices... are insufficient" and that there were "concerns about damage to a healthy trading order." "Directionally it signals tighter oversight of leverage and retail risk rather than a permanent ban," Luke, co-founder of Layer-1 network Mitosis, told Decrypt about the suspension. This pause is "a signal that the government has identified they must provide further regulatory clarity to best protect investors," Austin King, co-Founder of Ethereum based layer-1 network Omni Network, told Decrypt. King believes it is "not scrutiny at all," but rather a government acknowledging its own "insufficient regulatory clarity" and creating "clear rules of the road." South Korea Flags Upbit and Bithumb's Crypto Lending, Margin Trading Services This incident is a micro-level example of a macro-level trend. According to a recent report by Galaxy Digital, leverage has been building across the crypto ecosystem, particularly since Bitcoin's all-time high in August. The report found that the combined value of outstanding crypto-collateralized borrows across both centralized and decentralized projects reached an all-time high of $44.25 billion, a nearly 30% increase from the previous quarter. On-chain lending grew by 42% to $26.5 billion, while open borrows on centralized platforms expanded by 14.66% to $17.78 billion. Cantor's $2 Billion Bitcoin Lending Business Makes First Transactions The Bitfinex analysts further highlight this growing fragility, noting that total liquidations have remained elevated, with average daily liquidations exceeding $350 million over the past 30 days. Coinalyze data shows more than $3 billion worth of positions have been liquidated in August so far, with an overwhelming contribution coming from short sellers. 'This tracks a wider pattern,' Luke added, placing South Korea's move into global context by mentioning MiCA in Europe and recent regulatory developments in the U.S. "The ratio of altcoin liquidations to BTC liquidations has surged to historically elevated levels," Bitfinex's July report stated. The build-up in leverage over the past month, particularly in the altcoin segment, suggests a return of speculative enthusiasm. It indicates that the crypto market is entering a more fragile phase with a heightened risk of liquidations. This, according to Austin King, is precisely why South Korea's swift action serves as a clear regulatory warning, providing a necessary "constraint on the max amount of leverage offered on derivative products" and creating a blueprint for other nations to follow.
