According to VentureBeat, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has received its largest update since its launch in November 2024, managed by the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation. This update completes the transition to a fully stateless architecture, allowing MCP servers to be deployed behind standard load balancers without relying on "sticky routing" or shared session state, thereby simplifying large-scale cloud-native and Kubernetes deployments.In terms of security, the new version of MCP enforces validation of the issuer (iss) parameter for OAuth and OpenID Connect to prevent mix-up attacks and introduces enterprise-hosted authorization extensions to support unified identity governance for enterprises. The protocol also establishes a formal deprecation policy, ensuring that features are announced for deprecation at least 12 months before their earliest removal. MCP Apps and MCP Tasks have also been upgraded to official extensions, supporting servers in providing interactive interfaces to AI clients and executing interruptible, resumable long-running asynchronous tasks through persistent task handles. According to MCP co-creator David Soria Parra, the related SDK's weekly download volume has reached approximately 250 million, doubling in the past six months.

On July 29, Tibo, the product lead for OpenAI Codex, announced on X that all usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex users have been reset, and released a statement regarding the issue of rapid consumption of GPT-5.6 Sol usage.In the previous weeks, a large number of users reported that the consumption speed of Codex limits exceeded expectations. OpenAI emphasized that it has not reduced the usage quotas of any subscription plans. After investigation, several reasons were found: Sol is more inclined to work for longer periods, execute more tool calls, and coordinate complex workflows than previous models; it consumes more tokens at the same reasoning level; programmatic tool calls (code mode) allow Sol to execute tool calls in parallel, resulting in more responses and higher usage per round; the distribution of impact is extremely uneven, with median user efficiency being acceptable, but heavy users handling complex tasks consuming far more than expected.OpenAI stated that multiple improvements have been completed, and it is expected that usage endurance will be extended by about 18% in typical usage scenarios. Tomorrow, the five-hour limit that was paused during the investigation will be restored. OpenAI acknowledged that "capabilities and efficiency do not always improve synchronously, and some issues only become apparent after large-scale real-world use; we should have realized this earlier."

According to on-chain analysts, a wallet suspected to be associated with a16z (0xb5E...c24e) has withdrawn a total of 132,056.65 HYPE from various exchanges in the past 8 hours, worth 7.335 million dollars, with an average withdrawal price of 55.54 dollars.Since July 15, the same address has transferred a total of 398,000 HYPE to exchanges, approximately 24.89 million dollars.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin has gained market recognition, but the biggest challenge in the future is not external competition, but rather the erosion of consensus rules from within. He believes that Bitcoin's consensus rules are like a "constitution," determining property rights, scarcity, settlement mechanisms, and boundaries of power. Any modification of the rules for the benefit of specific groups is an infringement on the economic rights of all participants.He warned that Bitcoin is expected to grow a hundredfold in the future and become the infrastructure of the global capital market, while a single erroneous rule modification could harm markets, technologies, and economic freedoms that have yet to be born. Saylor specifically pointed out certain proposals, including BIP-110, arguing that they undermine the neutrality of the Bitcoin protocol by limiting effective paid transactions, introducing contract mechanisms, or expanding block capacity. He stated that although these proposals take different forms, they all weaken the scarcity of block space, increase network bandwidth and verification costs, expand protocol complexity, and introduce new security risks. At the same time, weakening the fee market will affect miners' income sources after block rewards continue to halve, thereby undermining the long-term security of the Bitcoin network. Furthermore, once a particular interest group is able to modify Bitcoin rules through certain means, other interest groups will follow suit, leading to long-term conflicts in protocol governance, capital outflows, slowed innovation, and deteriorating network security. Saylor called for keeping the Bitcoin base layer simple, neutral, scarce, and secure, leaving innovation to the second layer and application layer, promoting development through voluntary adoption rather than frequent modifications of the underlying protocol, and emphasized that protocol upgrades should be approached with extreme caution and only advanced when truly necessary to maintain the foundation for Bitcoin's long-term development.

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan posted that the impact of interest rate decisions on Bitcoin over the next five years will be less than it has been over the past fifteen years. He stated that since Bitcoin's inception, interest rates have fluctuated significantly between 0% to 2.5%, 0% to 5%, and 3.5%, with changes measured in whole percentage points. However, future adjustments may be more moderate, with CME expecting interest rates to rise by only 50 basis points over the next year.Matt Hougan assesses that the Federal Reserve under Warsh may be closer to the slight adjustment style of the mid-1990s under Greenspan, rather than the patterns seen in recent years under Bernanke and Powell. If this is indeed the case, the smaller magnitude of interest rate changes will also weaken their impact on Bitcoin; while interest rates remain important, the weight of other factors will increase.

According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, 6.93 million HYPE will be unstaked from Hyperliquid in the next 7 days, valued at approximately 415.2 million USD at current prices.Among them, on July 30, 3.3 million HYPE will be unstaked in a single day, valued at approximately 197.53 million USD, which may become one of the largest single-day unstaking events in Hyperliquid's history.

Michael Saylor, the founder and executive chairman of Bitcoin Treasury Company Strategy, has once again released information related to Bitcoin Tracker.According to previous patterns, Strategy usually discloses changes in Bitcoin holdings the day after relevant news is released.

Regarding the details of the withdrawal announcement released by Bitmart, WOO X ambassador Baki posted on the X platform, "BitMart is restricting user withdrawals for security reasons, and its operation to disable the automatic withdrawal function may result in a large number of users being unable to complete fund withdrawals. The platform has changed the withdrawal process to manual review, requiring users to submit account identity and KYC information verification, login device and IP address and account security status verification, withdrawal address and blockchain transaction risk review, source of funds and transaction history review, Travel Rule compliance and sanctions screening, and other regulatory checks. If necessary, additional documents such as proof of identity, proof of address, proof of source of funds, or proof of ownership of the withdrawal address may also be required."Baki suggested that users with P2P options could withdraw to their bank accounts through that channel; he also emphasized that the crypto market is not decentralized but controlled by a few large groups, exchanges, and funders.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in a Bloomberg podcast interview that South Korea is in a "golden era," and its semiconductor and industrial capabilities can help build AI infrastructure globally. NVIDIA has reached multiple collaborations with SK Group, and the scale of their future business exchanges in areas such as storage procurement, AI supercomputers, and data center construction will exceed $500 billion. NVIDIA will purchase a large number of storage chips from SK Hynix for several consecutive years and will work together to advance the technology roadmap from HBM2, HBM3, HBM3E, HBM4, HBM4E to subsequent products.Meanwhile, SK Telecom plans to expand its AI cloud infrastructure to a maximum of 2 gigawatts soon, and NVIDIA will sell supercomputers to it. The cooperation between the two parties includes both NVIDIA's procurement of storage and SK Group's procurement of AI infrastructure.Jensen Huang believes that as AI entities and robots begin to use computers on a large scale, chip demand will no longer be driven solely by human users. In the next approximately 10 years, the global semiconductor industry scale may need to expand to 10 times its current size. Currently, resources such as HBM storage, land, electricity, and data center construction are all under tight conditions; the industry may be capable of doubling its capacity each year, but faster expansion will be very difficult. The entire industry may be able to double its supply scale each year, but land, electricity, and factory space cannot expand as quickly as consumer electronics, so the construction of AI infrastructure may continue to progress at a limited pace over the next 10 years.Regarding the AI competition between China and the United States, Jensen Huang stated that both countries have excellent AI researchers. Although resources, conditions, and restrictions differ, both will continue to drive advancements in AI technology. The number of AI researchers trained in China each year may exceed the total in other regions of the world, and the United States still needs to continue learning, collaborating, and maintaining competition.

The "Whale" stated in its post "Set 10 Major Goals" that after closing short positions, it quickly re-established long positions because its long-term bullish view on Bitcoin has not changed. It believes that the important boundary of the last bull market was around $60,000, and the current mainstream mining cost of Bitcoin is concentrated between $50,000 and $60,000; after Bitcoin dipped to $58,000 last month, it quickly recovered, further validating the support capacity of that area.In the past month, Bitcoin has fully oscillated and exchanged hands in the range of $58,000 to $63,000, and after a pullback, it has re-stabilized around $66,000. In the absence of systemic risks or significant fundamental changes, the risk-reward ratio of continuing to short at the current position is not high, and the market may see a surge and break through $72,000; if the market structure does not change significantly, Bitcoin has a high probability of challenging $100,000 again around March next year. Currently, U.S. stocks, especially in the artificial intelligence sector, are overall valued at relatively high levels, and future volatility may significantly increase.The correlation between Bitcoin and U.S. stocks has significantly decreased compared to previous cycles, and Bitcoin is gradually emerging as an independent market. It has set a trading invalidation range for the current position; if the market falls back to $61,500 to $64,000, and the trend proves the judgment to be incorrect, it will immediately close positions to control losses. It emphasizes: "Views can change, but discipline cannot change." In addition, the latest publicly available data shows that the "Whale" has set its Binance contract real account "Jason leo133" position to private status.

Nine financial institutions and Bitcoin companies announced the joint establishment of the Bitcoin Security Alliance, with founding members including Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, BlackRock, Block, Blockstream, Coinbase, Fidelity, Galaxy, and Strategy, covering the entire chain of institutions such as custody, trading, infrastructure, payments, and asset management.The alliance commits to providing a total of $15 million in funding over the next three years to support developers and researchers in the field of Bitcoin security, including long-term work to prepare Bitcoin for the future era of quantum computing. Each member independently decides which developers, researchers, or organizations to direct their funding towards. The daily operations of the alliance are coordinated on a voluntary basis by Brink Executive Director Mike Schmidt, with Brink being a nonprofit organization that funds Bitcoin open-source developers.The alliance clearly states that it does not formulate or direct Bitcoin protocols, does not express opinions on specific protocol changes, and does not represent Bitcoin or its developers—Bitcoin development continues to be carried out by a globally decentralized community of contributors. Its positioning is to emulate the model of industry organizations that have long supported open-source software, providing resources and attention to developers without controlling the underlying work.Strategy CEO Phong Le stated, "As long-term holders, ensuring the security of Bitcoin for generations is our greatest incentive"; BlackRock's Global Head of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick pointed out that the work of Bitcoin core developers is "extremely important," and this commitment will provide "significant additional funding" for Bitcoin's long-term security needs. The alliance will also serve as a reliable source of information for investors, the public, and the media in the field of Bitcoin security, with plans to publish and continuously update materials related to Bitcoin security in the coming months.

The PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that the probability of "the next Claude Opus model being released on July 23, 2026" on Polymarket is currently reported at 61%, up 51% in the last 24 hours. In addition, the probability of "being released before July 24" is currently reported at 9%; the probability of "being released before July 25" is currently reported at 5%.This event will settle based on the date (Eastern Time) when Anthropic's next Claude Opus model is made publicly available. Only models explicitly named "Opus" by Anthropic are valid, and they must be open to the public (including public testing or open waiting lists). Other models such as Sonnet and Haiku are not included, and the final settlement will primarily rely on official information from Anthropic.
