Odaily News: Joseph Chalom, CEO of Ethereum treasury company SharpLink, stated in a post that the convergence of stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, DeFi, and AI Agents will reshape the financial industry. His team's model estimates that by 2030, more than $1 trillion in annual revenue in the global financial services industry will become the target of competition among market participants, growing to $4 trillion per year by 2035. By driving down fees, AI Agents are expected to save investors $350 billion and $1.4 trillion annually.
Joseph Chalom also noted that hundreds of millions of stablecoin payments between Agents have already been settled through chains such as Base and Solana, and that more than 10,000 Agents have registered within 10 weeks of the launch of ERC-8004, Ethereum's trustless Agent registration protocol.
Odaily News: Citi stated that the U.S. Senate's failure to advance the CLARITY Act into formal consideration did not interrupt Bitcoin's rally. After the procedural vote on the bill was blocked, Bitcoin remained strong, with market attention now shifting to whether the SEC can advance rulemaking on trading, tokenized assets, and market access under its existing authority.
Citi noted that the legislative setback will limit the CFTC's ability to obtain more complete crypto market regulatory authority in the near term. Its economics team believes this round of rate hikes may be close to a one-time move; the quantitative macro team warned that if AI investment continues to support growth and employment and wage pressures persist, interest rates may face further upward revision risks.

In February, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and others proposed phasing out current signature schemes and restricting how unmigrated funds can be used five years after the proposal's activation.

Odaily News: North Korean hacker group WaterPlum obtained funds or credentials from over 7,000 crypto wallets through fake recruitment processes and transferred approximately $10.71 million to North Korea. Between December 2025 and July 2026, the group infected at least 30,000 devices across more than 100 countries.
WaterPlum impersonates AI, crypto, or NFT companies and approaches developers through social media, job platforms, and freelance platforms, luring them into downloading malware-laden files under the guise of technical interviews or coding assignments. Targets include web designers, engineers, and professionals in the crypto, blockchain, and Web3 sectors.
Japanese law enforcement dismantled a "laptop farm" within the country for the first time, discovering that hundreds of millions of yen in crypto assets had already been transferred overseas. Investigations suggest that WaterPlum and some North Korean remote IT workers both belong to the 313th General Bureau of North Korea's Ministry of Munitions Industry and share IP addresses used to access the laptop farm and job-seeking services.

Odaily News: Gold prices drifted lower within a rangebound trading pattern, as a stronger dollar and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials further reinforced market expectations of monetary policy tightening. The dollar rose to a two-month high, making dollar-denominated gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies.
Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, said: "Gold continues to trade within the established narrow range of $4,300 to $4,400. Fed officials' remarks and their impact on U.S. interest rates, bond yields, and the dollar, along with oil price movements, are collectively providing the main directional cues for short-term traders." Richmond Fed President Barkin said on Tuesday that interest rate hikes and the threat of further increases could dampen businesses' inflation expectations and cool price increases without actually weighing on economic activity.

Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson warned earlier this week that if stock valuations continue their recent downward trend while further increases in energy prices prompt tighter monetary policy, the S&P 500 could face a decline of as much as 7%.

Odaily reports: Glassnode posted on X platform stating that the Bitcoin "four-year cycle" pattern that the market previously relied on has not manifested in this bear market. Data shows that drawdowns in the past three cycles all exceeded twice that of the current cycle, and there are still several weeks remaining before the cycle low; in contrast, BTC in this cycle has currently only retraced about 30% from its all-time high, and the price is recovering. Glassnode stated that as time goes on, it seems increasingly unlikely that a decline of the same depth as in past cycles will occur in the later stages of this cycle.
