Odaily News, SK Hynix's labor and management remain deadlocked over the plan to distribute performance bonuses in the form of company stock. Some employees are pushing for the formation of a new unified union. A preparatory group for the "unified union" has been established, and related communities have attracted around 4,000 employees, accounting for 11.6% of the company's total workforce.Market analysts pointed out that if the labor-management conflict spreads to the production front line, it could increase uncertainty surrounding SK Hynix's HBM capacity expansion in the second half of the year. SK Hynix began mass production and shipment of HBM4 in the second quarter of this year, with plans to further expand output in the latter half. Production has not yet been affected, but if the conflict escalates and spreads to manufacturing sites, it could put pressure on supply plans for major clients such as Nvidia. (Yonhap)
Odaily News: UMX (The Unified Market Exchange), incubated by Avenir Group under Li Lin, has announced the launch of an invitation-only public beta.According to the introduction, UMX is positioned as a crypto-friendly securities platform for global professional investors, integrating crypto assets and real securities trading on the same platform to improve capital efficiency in cross-asset trading. During the public beta phase, the platform offers crypto spot, leverage, futures, and options trading, as well as real US stocks, ETFs, and US stock options trading.This public beta focuses on opening the capital flow channel between crypto assets and securities accounts. UMX has designed cross-market fund transfers, financing, and crypto-to-stock conversion mechanisms. Users can use "Convert & Transfer" to automatically convert stablecoins such as USDT into USD and transfer them to securities accounts with one click, or use "Borrow & Transfer" to collateralize non-stablecoin crypto assets to gain purchasing power for trading US stocks, ETFs, and US stock options. After completing fiat account verification, users can also open a personal fiat account under their own name for fiat deposits and withdrawals. Securities holdings can also be converted into corresponding stock tokens via the "Stock-to-Token" function, which can be counted toward crypto trading account margin at a corresponding discount rate, and these stock tokens can also be converted back into the corresponding securities assets.Around cross-asset capital efficiency, the platform has introduced a cross-asset margin mechanism, where eligible wealth management assets can also be used as margin. During the public beta, the platform has also launched BTC and USDT wealth management products, with maximum annualized returns of up to 2.5% and 5.5%, respectively. UMX stated that this model aims to reduce the operational costs incurred by professional investors from frequent fund transfers and fragmented account management, while providing a unified capital and risk management framework for cross-asset allocation.This public beta is invitation-based. Users who have obtained a beta code can complete registration via the UMX official website (umx.com) to experience the currently available products and services; users who have not yet received a beta code can reserve the official version, receive launch notifications, and participate in the early-bird benefits program.

Odaily News Despite Ocean mining pool supporting BIP-110, miner Simple Mining, which uses the pool's DATUM protocol, still refuses to signal support and mined block height 961,634 on the Bitcoin main chain. BIP-110 has received a hash rate support rate of approximately 2.6%, far below the 55% threshold it seeks. The proposal aims to restrict non-financial data in transactions within one year. After BIP-110 nodes began rejecting blocks that did not signal support at height 961,632, the fork chain stalled after producing only 2 blocks; the Bitcoin main chain subsequently led the fork chain by more than 200 blocks.

Odaily News: Ethereum developers have proposed a "Tapered Issuance Burn" mechanism, which plans to gradually burn a portion of validators' idealized duty rewards as the ETH staking ratio rises; when the staked amount approaches 50% of the total supply, ETH net issuance will drop to 0%. The proposal's author stated that the ETH staking ratio has already exceeded one-third of the total supply as of April; without adjustments, Jerome de Tychey noted that by January 2028, the staked amount could exceed 70 million ETH, representing over 55% of the supply. Supporters argue that excessive staking could first render small independent validators economically unviable, leading to staking concentration among custodians and large service providers; the proposal is planned to be implemented over an 18-month period, with an additional preparation window of approximately 6 months reserved before any potential network upgrade. Stani Kulechov, founder of lending protocol Aave, stated that once the staking ratio exceeds 50% and rewards drop to 0%, yield uncertainty could weaken institutional staking and DeFi demand. He noted that ETH lending strategies may be affected, and the proposal remains in its early stages. (Bitcoin.com News)

The minority fork supporting BIP-110 stalled after mining blocks 961,632 and 961,633. As of Monday, the main chain has advanced to block 961,725, with the minority fork lagging by over 200 blocks. Notably, Ocean Pool has enabled BIP-110 support signaling for miners by default since July, while the DATUM protocol allows individual miners to autonomously decide block content, enabling Simple Mining to make the opposite choice.

According to Cao Lu, a reporter from First Financial Daily, multiple high-premium LOFs corrected simultaneously during Monday's early trading session. The Global Chip LOF hit the limit down, with its premium rate still as high as 18%; the SDIC Silver LOF plummeted by over 8% at one point during the session, with its premium rate also breaking through 18%. The market volatility stemmed from the draft solicitation of opinions on new LOF delisting regulations jointly released by the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges last weekend, which clarified mandatory delisting scenarios for two types of products, directly targeting chronic issues such as long-existing high-premium speculative trading, liquidity drying up in mini-funds, and price manipulation susceptibility among exchange-traded LOFs. Representatives from Shanghai-based public funds stated that delisting expectations may directly dampen speculative sentiment in current high-premium QDII and commodity futures LOFs.

Odaily News: On August 5, the minority staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs stated that the July 22 version of the CLARITY Act fails to meet five minimum standards. The bill, numbered H.R. 3633, aims to divide digital asset regulatory authority between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The analysis suggests that the bill's two-tier system could remove certain blockchain assets from SEC oversight, allowing issuing companies to self-certify exemptions from securities regulation. Healthy Markets and five labor organizations have raised concerns over pension protections and securities law loopholes, while minority staff also noted that investors' private right of action and state and tribal enforcement powers could be weakened. Minority staff stated that DeFi-related companies could be exempt from anti-illegal financing obligations even if they earn millions of dollars from platform transactions; some crypto mixers may circumvent U.S. sanctions by exploiting the "Tornado Cash loophole." The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) warned that stablecoin yields could drain deposits from community banks, and the Systemic Risk Council has flagged related banking activities as potential bailout risks. Minority staff noted that Donald Trump alone earned over $1.4 billion from crypto businesses in 2025, with related enforcement solely under the purview of his Attorney General, and that obligations would terminate upon his departure from office. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, citing $3.8 billion in investor losses, have separately called on the SEC to investigate Trump memecoin. The Senate is scheduled to hold a cloture vote on September 15 on the motion to proceed, with the bill needing 60 votes to advance. (Bitcoin.com News)
