According to TNW, the Cyberspace Administration of China has released a draft of regulations for combating cyberbullying and is seeking public feedback. The draft requires platforms to establish classifiers for detecting and categorizing online violence content, provide users with a "one-click protection" feature, and implement blacklist management and regular reporting mechanisms for violating accounts.Notably, the draft explicitly includes AI-generated deepfake images and synthetic harassment texts within the scope of regulation. The Q&A platform Zhihu has already responded by restricting the use of anonymous accounts.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform in response to the controversy over the v4 fee switch, clarifying that "the reduction of LP fees" is a misunderstanding; the protocol fees are additive rather than deductive, and LPs still earn 30 basis points per transaction.Regarding the claim that "the protocol takes 25% of LP profits," he stated that on a 30 basis point pool, the protocol fee is 5 basis points, accounting for about 14% of the total transaction fees, and LPs have not lost any of their earnings. Hayden Adams also pointed out that centralized exchanges charge 100 to 200 basis points per transaction, making Uniswap's 5 basis point fee at the 30 basis point level 20 to 40 times cheaper. He also criticized some forked projects that charge 100% transaction fees but use uneven inflation set by token voting to "compensate" LPs.

According to Caixin, Zhao Yao, a special researcher at the Payment and Clearing Research Center of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that recent offshore digital asset platforms have launched on-chain trading products around Chinese technology companies such as Changxin Technology. This indicates that global digital financial platforms are creating trading exposure around high-quality Chinese technology assets, organizing price expectations, trading liquidity, and cross-border capital entry in advance. Although these products do not correspond to A-share equity, they are synthetic perpetual contracts or pre-market perpetual contracts settled in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. However, if offshore platforms take the lead in forming a continuous trading market for technology assets, it may weaken the pricing dominance of domestic capital markets over technology assets.Zhao Yao suggested accelerating the construction of digital financial infrastructure for the renminbi, promoting the coordinated development of tokenized deposits by commercial banks, wholesale CBDC, and tokenization of technology assets, and exploring pilot projects for technology asset tokenization in Hong Kong to enhance the capital organization capability and international pricing power of the renminbi in global technology financial competition.

According to a chart released by independent analyst Markus Thielen, there is a clear divergence signal between Bitcoin's price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI recently fell to the 30% oversold range, then rebounded to about 50%, while the BTC price also rose from near its low to about $64,645.It is noteworthy that the purple downward trend line in the chart indicates that since the peak in June 2025 (around $125,000), BTC has been in a downward channel, and the current price is still under pressure from this resistance line. Whether it can effectively break through will be key to judging the subsequent trend.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X in response to the recent controversy sparked by his profile picture change and the voices from the Base community feeling insufficiently supported. Armstrong made it clear that his personal X account should not be viewed as investment advice or a signal source for individual tokens; he simply shares content online that he finds interesting or funny, and he may not be aware of whether the content relates to a specific token or project. His posts and profile picture do not constitute endorsement or commitment.Armstrong pointed out that Base is committed to building financial services infrastructure, covering tokenized stocks, lending protocols, stablecoin payments, and even meme coin trading. He supports economic freedom and user freedom to trade, but treating his X account as a trading signal is a risk users must bear, which also goes against his own wishes. Regarding support from the Base team or Coinbase, Armstrong stated that many tokens cannot be listed on centralized exchanges due to compliance and regulatory reasons, "If you hope Jesse or I can help pump or call certain tokens, we will not do that."The ways Coinbase has committed to support include hosting offline Base Batches events, providing funding to promising developers, investing in quality projects through Coinbase Ventures and the Base ecosystem fund, and regularly integrating promising Base DeFi protocols into Coinbase products. Currently, the post has over 1.05 million views.

According to ChaoXiang Research, Morgan Stanley's stock strategy report on July 20 pointed out that AI-related stocks have faced fierce selling in recent weeks, with the South Korean stock market dropping 25% from its peak, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falling 20%. Individual stocks like Samsung and Micron have seen declines between 20% and 50%. The report believes that the core driving force behind this round of decline is technical factors and position clearing, with no deterioration in fundamentals. The gap between relative prices and relative earnings trends in semiconductors continues to widen, but the supply-demand tight balance for DRAM and NAND is expected to last until 2028. DRAM spot prices remain high, and Micron has also raised its performance guidance, indicating that supply-demand tightness will last at least until 2027. The RSI of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is nearing the oversold zone, and the accumulated momentum gains for the year have basically been retraced.Morgan Stanley believes that once the oversold signal is confirmed, a rebound window will open, and it suggests that investors gradually position themselves in semiconductors during the summer. The proportion of second-quarter earnings reports exceeding expectations reached 97%, and companies in the S&P 500 that reported better-than-expected earnings outperformed the market by an average of 1.7 percentage points on the day of the report. In terms of allocation, Morgan Stanley has raised its equity allocation from 60% to 65%, increased its Eurozone allocation from 8.7% to 11%, and is overweight in sectors such as semiconductors, mining, capital goods, automotive, insurance, and banking, while underweighting software, business services, and media in the "AI erosion group." Regarding geopolitical conflicts, the report believes that the "buying on dips" strategy since the end of March remains effective.

According to Bloomberg, AI startup 01.ai, founded by AI expert Kai-Fu Lee, plans to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong after the end of the 2027 fiscal year and intends to seek Pre-IPO financing during its first annual performance announcement. To comply with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's listing regulations for specialized technology companies, 01.ai is currently adjusting its offshore holding structure to pave the way for its future listing in Hong Kong.Founded in 2023, 01.ai achieved a valuation of over $1 billion in just 8 months after receiving investments from institutions such as Alibaba Cloud. The company has completed a business strategy transformation, shifting from its early self-developed cutting-edge large language models to building AI infrastructure services for enterprises, primarily fine-tuning and customizing based on domestic open-source models such as DeepSeek, Alibaba Qianwen, and Zhiyu GLM. Kai-Fu Lee revealed that approximately 50% of 01.ai's business revenue currently comes from overseas markets.

The Financial Services Commission of South Korea responded positively to the recent controversies surrounding single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) when it released supplementary regulatory measures. Byeon Je-ho, the Director of the Capital Markets Bureau of the Financial Services Commission, clearly stated that launching leveraged ETF products targeting single stocks such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in the domestic market has indeed had a significant effect in locking in domestic investment demand and preventing capital outflow to overseas leveraged markets like Hong Kong or the United States.In response to external accusations that single-stock leveraged ETFs are the "main culprit" behind the recent increase in volatility in the South Korean stock market, the Financial Services Commission refuted this claim. Byeon Je-ho pointed out that the recent dramatic market fluctuations cannot be solely explained by leveraged ETFs, with the core reason being the alternating expectations of the global semiconductor industry cycle. Data shows that from May 26 to July 10, the annualized daily return volatility of U.S. SanDisk (131%), Micron (123%), and Japan's Kioxia (118%) was higher than that of South Korea's SK Hynix (113%) and Samsung Electronics (96%). Additionally, some investors' contrarian operations have played a role in stabilizing stock prices to some extent.Regarding the demands from some politicians and market participants to "forcefully delist single-stock leveraged ETFs," the Financial Services Commission clearly rejected this request. The official explanation stated that delisting must meet statutory termination criteria such as a sharp decline in market value or a lack of liquidity providers (LPs), and currently, the market is showing signs of heating up due to excessive demand, which does not meet the delisting conditions. The Financial Services Commission indicated that such calls should be understood as the market's urgent expectation for strengthened compliance and robust regulatory measures.

According to BFM News, the Johor state government of Malaysia has requested the federal government to investigate the Network School, founded by former Coinbase Chief Technology Officer Balaji Srinivasan, due to allegations that some Israeli citizens participated in the project using third-country passports. The Johor state government has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs and relevant law enforcement and security agencies to verify the identities, nationalities, and entry purposes of the individuals involved, and to investigate whether the operation of Network School requires registration or approval under Malaysian law.At the same time, authorities will also review whether the project complies with relevant regulations regarding site permits, building usage, land use, accommodation operations, and commercial activities. If any violations are found, actions will be taken in accordance with the law. It is understood that Network School is located in Forest City, Malaysia, founded by Balaji Srinivasan, and is a private residential community built based on his "Network State" concept, with membership fees starting at $1,500 per month, offering services such as accommodation, dining, fitness, and shared office space.

In response to the recent market controversy regarding the reduction of Stabledrop shares, Cap founder Benjamin issued a statement of apology and provided a detailed response. He stated that the team prematurely committed to an airdrop scale of 11 million before the funding was fully secured, but subsequent changes in the market environment led to a fundraising amount that fell short of expectations, resulting in the actual airdrop pool shrinking to 4.2 million.To avoid substantial principal losses for early YT (Yield Token) holders, the team temporarily adjusted the originally planned linear distribution scheme to a "capital protection but no profit" restructuring model, ensuring that no one incurs losses. This rule applies equally to all wallets. Meanwhile, in response to community concerns about a related whale address allegedly engaging in "internal score manipulation," Benjamin clarified that the wallet belongs to a former colleague and is not operated by the team, and that project treasury funds have not been utilized. Additionally, he emphasized that the Cap protocol is still operating healthily, and the decline in TVL that occurred over the weekend was mainly due to the surge in USDM lending rates on Aave for MegaETH, causing arbitrageurs to exit, which is unrelated to this airdrop incident. All redemptions have been processed smoothly.

After a meeting with Islamic scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani, Bilal bin Saqib, the chairman of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, stated that stablecoins, tokenized RWA, and other blockchain products should undergo separate technical and Islamic law assessments and should not be regarded as the same category.Previously, scholars including Usmani issued a fatwa declaring that USDT and other cryptocurrencies do not constitute wealth recognized by Islamic law, rendering transactions for purchasing physical goods or digital services invalid. Pakistan passed the Virtual Assets Act in March of this year, requiring exchanges, custodians, and token issuers to ensure compliance with Islamic law under the guidance of an Islamic finance scholars committee. At the same time, the country is advancing sovereign stablecoins, national asset tokenization, and licensing for cryptocurrency trading platforms.

According to Caixin, global HBM storage leader SK Hynix officially landed on Nasdaq in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADS), with the stock price rising about 17% at one point after the opening on the first day, reaching a total market value of $1.28 trillion.The report states that this issuance raised as much as $26.5 billion, setting a record for the largest fundraising scale for overseas companies listing in the U.S., surpassing Alibaba's $21.8 billion issuance in 2014, and only second to SpaceX's $75 billion financing, ranking as the second largest stock issuance in U.S. history. On Thursday Eastern Time, SK Hynix set the final issuance price at $149, a slight premium of 3.1% compared to the previous day's closing price on the Korean stock market.Caixin pointed out that the shares offered this time accounted for less than 3% of the company's total market value, with a relatively limited float, but the institutional subscription multiple exceeded 7 times, indicating strong demand from overseas funds for AI storage. As a core player holding 56.4% of the global HBM market share and deeply tied to Nvidia's supply chain, SK Hynix's listing in the U.S. also fills the gap of AI storage leaders in the U.S. stock market.

The Ethereum Foundation Protocol Security team researchers stated in a blog post on Thursday that a series of AI agents have been deployed to test the software relied upon by Ethereum, searching for vulnerabilities in the cryptographic systems, protocol code, and smart contracts. The vulnerabilities discovered by the AI agents include a remotely triggerable panic issue in the peer-to-peer layer libp2p gossipsub used by the Ethereum consensus client, which has been fixed and disclosed on GitHub as CVE-2026-34219.The researchers noted that the AI agents are organized into specialized roles such as reconnaissance, searching, patching, and verification, aimed at identifying potential attack paths, reproducing failures, and verifying their applicability to production code. The Ethereum Foundation stated that AI has not replaced security researchers but has changed the way they work, allowing the team to cover a much broader scope than manual reviews, although researchers need to exercise more careful judgment over a large number of seemingly credible conclusions.

A five-day public debate between ether.fi CEO Mike Silagadze and KAST CEO Raagulan Pathy has brought KAST's user deposit terms into the spotlight. Silagadze publicly shared screenshots showing that KAST's terms treat users' deposited stablecoins as sold to KAST, with ownership immediately transferred to the company, and the original terms did not mention that users could request redemption.According to The Defiant, verified through the Wayback Machine, these terms have been in place at least since June 25. As of July 7, KAST updated its terms to include users' right to redeem unspent balances, but the legal structure remains unchanged—deposits are still defined as sales, with the company's total liability capped at $500, registered in Comoros, Anjouan Island, and governed by Seychelles law.Additionally, KAST previously promised that points would be exchanged for tokens on a one-to-one basis, but on July 2, this was changed to conversion into tokenized equity, causing dissatisfaction among users. Research account Decentralisedco pointed out that KAST can earn about 4-5% annualized returns from idle balances by counting users' stablecoins as company assets, a structure that differs from competitors like ether.fi, which settle through user-controlled smart contracts.

Hyundai Card announced on the 9th that it has completed a proof of concept (PoC) for cross-border remittances based on stablecoins with Hyundai Motor America (HMA) and Hyundai Motor Mexico (HMM). In the first PoC, the U.S. entity converted $20,000 into USDT and then remitted it to the Mexican entity, which converted it back to dollars. The entire process, including international remittance and verification, averaged only 7 minutes, significantly shorter than the 3 to 4 hours typically required for traditional bank cross-border remittances. Tether and Avalanche participated in this verification.The second phase of the PoC will be launched at the end of this month, targeting Hyundai Motor's European entity, to conduct actual remittances in local currency instead of dollars, verifying the cost-saving effects of currency exchange. Circle and Visa will participate as partners. Hyundai Card emphasized that this verification has comprehensively considered regulatory requirements such as accounting, taxation, legal, and internal controls, going beyond mere technical testing to reach the level of actual business deployment. In the future, there are plans to expand the application of stablecoins to inter-entity settlements and fund transfers within Hyundai Motor Group's global network.

In response to the online incident of "Gate being hacked for 1.7 million," the platform's founder and CEO Dr. Han tweeted: The details of the incident are all here. After reading, it will be clear.

According to Reuters, informed sources revealed that due to the subscription scale reaching several times, South Korean chip manufacturer SK Hynix will end its $28 billion American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuance book-building at 4 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday. It is reported that the final pricing guidance for this issuance will be announced after the close of the Korean stock market on Thursday, and the allocation results will be finalized later on Thursday evening, with plans to officially list on Nasdaq on July 10.The report pointed out that this issuance has attracted strong demand from American investors, with several large orders ranging from $200 million to over $1 billion. The company previously disclosed that institutions such as Baillie Gifford and Coatue Management have expressed interest in purchasing a total of up to $7 billion in ADRs. This transaction is expected to issue 17.79 million new shares, making it the second largest stock issuance in history globally, following SpaceX's record $85.7 billion IPO last month, surpassing the previous records of Saudi Aramco (2019) and Alibaba (2014). As a core supplier of high bandwidth memory (HBM) for companies like Nvidia and Google, SK Hynix stipulates that every 10 ADRs represent 1 share of common stock, with a reference price of 242,500 Korean won per ADR based on the Seoul closing price on July 3.
