Odaily News – Donald Trump’s family and their business partners have received preliminary approval to establish a bank. Data from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) shows that in the 19 months before Donald Trump’s second term, the OCC approved 22 bank charter applications, exceeding the total number approved in the previous five years. Currently, the difficulty of applying for a U.S. national bank charter has fallen to its lowest level in nearly 20 years, with some approved institutions coming from the fintech and digital asset sectors. OCC head Jonathan Gould stated that the goal is to respond to each application within 120 days. World Liberty Financial, under the Trump family, stablecoin issuer Circle, consumer bank Nu Holdings Ltd., and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. have all joined the ranks of new bank applicants. World Liberty Financial previously stated that establishing a bank would allow it to hold assets backing the USD1 stablecoin, thereby reducing related costs. Donald Trump will become the first U.S. president whose children founded a bank during his tenure.

Odaily News: Recent reports indicate that some banks in Hong Kong have initiated a source-of-funds declaration process for certain existing mainland investment clients, setting deadlines such as August 20 (investment services may be suspended if not submitted) and September 12 (investment services may be terminated if not submitted). Previously, in response to requirements from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, some banks had already begun requiring newly opened mainland investor accounts to confirm that their source of funds is from legitimate overseas channels. This latest source-of-funds confirmation process targets existing mainland investor accounts, drawing attention and discussion. It is understood that some Hong Kong-licensed institutions, including HSBC Hong Kong and branches of Chinese-funded banks in Hong Kong, have indeed taken such measures recently, but the primary focus is on long-term "inactive accounts."

Odaily News - Arthur Hayes recently sat down for a video interview on the Altcoin Daily podcast. During the interview, Arthur once again expressed his strongly bullish view on ETH: "In this liquidity-driven rally in the crypto market, it will outperform all other large-cap crypto assets."

When the host asked, "Assuming BTC reaches $200,000 within the next five years, where will ETH stand?" Arthur replied: "I don't know what the exchange rate will be—maybe $20,000, $25,000, or even $30,000... Right now, BTC's market dominance is around 60%, while during the DeFi Summer of 2020 to 2021, it dropped to roughly 25%–26%. I don't think it will fall that low again, but a drop to 40% is possible—and most of that shift will be driven by ETH. Because it's the largest asset by size, and no other asset can appreciate enough, both in magnitude and speed, to meaningfully reduce BTC's dominance."

Odaily News: Arthur Hayes recently sat down for a video interview on the Altcoin Daily podcast. During the interview, Arthur shared more details about his new venture, Flop Network. Arthur mentioned that FLOP has the potential to become one of the top two tokens in the cryptocurrency market.

Arthur further explained: "This is the kind of binary bet—either it becomes the foundational currency of the entire AI Agent economy, or it becomes nothing. I love binary bets, just like when I bet on whether Bitcoin derivatives would ever gain traction. The key is whether the project or company you're investing in is on the track to compete for the crown. Obviously, this laurel won't be decided in a year or two, but if the market reaches a consensus and believes that FLOP will become the core currency of the largest economy in the known universe (the AI Agent economy), then its market cap would be fully capable of rivaling Bitcoin—or even surpassing it."

Odaily Planet Daily News Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that his long-term bullish outlook on Bitcoin is not based on price trends, but rather on AI transforming the concept of scarcity in the economy. As AI significantly reduces the production and replication costs of software, content, analytics, and other products, future value may increasingly flow to assets whose supply cannot be expanded through technology.

Gerovich noted that Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap is enforced by network rules and cannot be increased by improvements in production efficiency or intelligence levels. Meanwhile, as an asset that cannot be replicated or diluted and can be settled 24/7 globally, Bitcoin's scarcity attributes will become even more pronounced in a context where AI is driving more goods and services toward abundance.
