Odaily News - At the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, CZ stated that Trump had previously mentioned Hyperliquid, and that CFTC Chairman Mike Selig would look for a path to bring the platform into the U.S. market. CZ believes that if Hyperliquid can operate in the U.S. in a compliant manner, it will open the door for perpetual contracts and more decentralized services to enter the U.S., serving as a major positive for the entire crypto industry. CZ noted that because of his stake in Binance, outsiders tend to view him as a supporter of centralized exchanges, but his fundamental reason for entering the crypto industry is his belief in decentralization. Some users choose Hyperliquid because the platform allows them to use it via wallet without requiring a traditional account or KYC process. CZ said that Hyperliquid's entry into the U.S. will not only benefit itself—more decentralized products and companies in its portfolio will also benefit—and it will bring more liquidity to international centralized exchanges, giving U.S. users more competitive prices when buying and selling crypto assets. At this stage, the crypto market is far from saturated, and competition between platforms is not the primary issue.

Since the stock price during the exercise period was consistently above the issue price of RMB 8.66 per share, CICC, as the authorized joint lead underwriter for this offering, did not use the funds obtained from the over-allotment to purchase the company's shares from the secondary market through competitive trading.

Odaily News - Wall Street's focus now goes beyond Nvidia's (NVDA.O) expected stellar second-quarter earnings, extending to AI-related credit exposure that could reach $200 billion by 2028. Investors want Nvidia to further clarify off-balance-sheet commitments related to AI infrastructure financing, supply, and power.

Despite these market concerns, Nvidia's second-quarter revenue is still expected to nearly double to $92.2 billion, driven primarily by continued robust demand in data centers. (Jin10)

Odaily News Trader Bonk Guy stated that the market is gradually recognizing the potential of PONS. He noted that PONS currently generates approximately $56 million in annualized revenue, with 80% used for buybacks and burns of PONS; in comparison, Pump.fun generates about $460 million in annualized revenue, with 50% used for buybacks and burns of PUMP, while PUMP is currently valued at approximately $2 billion.

Bonk Guy believes that even if PONS were given only 10% of PUMP's valuation, its market cap should reach around $200 million. Additionally, Pons has contributed to roughly half of the on-chain activity on Robinhood Chain, with at least 5 tokens issued through Pons having a market cap exceeding $10 million and at least 20 exceeding $1 million.

Regarding the market's recent expectations around Robinhood listings, Bonk Guy stated that as one of the main Meme coin issuance platforms on Robinhood Chain, a future PONS listing on Robinhood is, in his view, "inevitable," and the current rally is not solely driven by listing expectations.

Odaily报道 江卓尔在X平台发文表示，在加密市场大涨后的首个美股交易日，ETF资金流向具有重要参考意义。数据显示，BTC ETF净流入3.14亿美元，ETH ETF净流入1.8亿美元。其认为，这表明美股资金仍在追多，本轮上涨后BTC再度跌回6.7万美元以下的概率较低。

江卓尔同时指出，ETH ETF流入资金相当于BTC ETF的57.2%，显著高于ETH/BTC总市值占比的18.8%，认为ETH仍具备“牛市发动机”特征。此外，其表示，若美国《CLARITY Act》通过，美元、美股、美债等金融资产或将进一步加速上链、代币化和智能合约化，推动RWA市场发展，并提升市场对相关公链的关注。
