Moonshot AI launches open-source model Kimi K3, scoring 57 points on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, becoming the third highest-scoring model, second only to Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 (61 points), Claude Fable 5 (60 points), and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol (59 points). The index shows that the gap between leading closed-source models and open-weight models has narrowed to 4 points, the smallest gap since the release of GLM-5 in February. This signifies that open-source models are rapidly catching up to closed-source models in performance.

Lighter founder Vladimir Novakovski published an article on X this morning titled "Equity and Tokens."In the article, Novakovski clarified that all economic value generated by Lighter will belong to token holders.Lighter's original intention has always been to use venture capital to bootstrap the project until the moment of token issuance. Lighter is a U.S. company and exists as a single entity — the entity that issued equity in the years leading up to TGE is the same entity that issued tokens at TGE. Apart from converting to a token cap table at TGE, the equity cap table will have no further function in the future.More specifically, Lighter completed its final equity financing round a few months before TGE, which was oversubscribed by approximately 5 times, attracting over $300 million in capital interest against a $68 million allocation. At that time, all equity stakeholders (including early investors and former employees) were informed of the future plan — that their equity value would only be reflected as holdings on the token cap table — and were given the opportunity to sell their equity stakes. Anyone who disagreed with the philosophy that "all value belongs to the token" could easily exit at a higher valuation. Ultimately, less than 1% of equity holders chose to sell their shares, while the rest chose to stay, thereby supporting Lighter's commitment to "value accruing to the token."
: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform on July 27, urging the U.S. Senate to advance the vote on the CLARITY Act, stating that the bill was formed through years of bipartisan negotiations. Armstrong stated that the CLARITY Act would strengthen law enforcement powers, introduce new consumer protections, and provide a federal regulatory framework for the digital asset industry. He noted that there are currently no federal laws in the U.S. that protect consumers or support the development of the industry within the country. On July 22, U.S. Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act text, covering disclosure standards, registration requirements, anti-fraud provisions, and expanded anti-money laundering obligations for digital asset market participants. BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon have expressed support for the bill.

According to Cointelegraph, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) recently published a quantum security white paper and launched the industry's first Quantum Preparedness Index (QPI) to assess the banking sector's readiness to address quantum computing security threats. Survey results indicate that the overall QPI score for the banking sector is only 2.3 out of 10, with approximately half of the surveyed institutions yet to formulate formal post-quantum security plans. The HKMA aims for the entire industry to achieve a full score by 2030. The white paper points out that once quantum computers are capable of running Shor's algorithm at scale, they could potentially break existing RSA and elliptic curve encryption systems, thereby threatening the security of financial transaction authorization, authentication, and trust mechanisms.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has responded to the controversy over open-weight models, stating that the company has never advocated for a total ban on open models. Previously, companies including OpenAI, Google, and SpaceX joined the open-source coalition, while Anthropic was the only major frontier model company not to sign on.Amodei acknowledged that open-weight models can lower costs, promote competition, and support customer self-deployment. He stated that open models without dangerous capabilities can be considered a "public good."However, he believes that open models are not necessarily safer, nor do defenders necessarily gain more advantages over attackers. Once model weights are made public, security restrictions may be removed and cannot be revoked.Anthropic proposed three alternative measures, including restricting the flow of advanced chips and manufacturing equipment to China, cracking down on industrial-scale model distillation, and requiring all models that reach a certain capability threshold—whether open-source or closed-source—to undergo testing for cyber attacks, biological risks, and alignment.

According to BeInCrypto, El Salvador's two major opposition parties have officially nominated candidates for the February 2027 presidential election: the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) nominated former legislator Maytee Iraheta, while the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) nominated doctor and union leader Rafael Aguirre. Both candidates clearly oppose Bukele's Bitcoin strategy, characterizing it as a fiscal failure. However, Bukele's approval rating remains as high as 94%, and his New Ideas party has also completed nominations, holding a clear advantage for re-election. It is worth noting that El Salvador revoked Bitcoin's legal tender status in February 2025 after reaching a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF, restoring the US dollar as the sole official currency, but the government still maintains the plan to purchase approximately 1 Bitcoin per day, with holdings reaching approximately 7,730 BTC as of July 27.

Odaily Odaily News: The Bitcoin BIP-110 forced signaling window will open at block height 961632, expected around August 9, 2026. As of 8:40 AM (EDT) on July 27, the chain height is 959842, approximately 1790 blocks away from this activation block. The current BIP-110 signaling support rate is around 2.64%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," proposes to limit the size of certain data fields within Bitcoin transactions, targeting Ordinals-like inscriptions, large OP_RETURN payloads, and similar high-data-volume use cases. If activated, the restrictions will take effect at block 965664 and automatically expire after 52,416 blocks (approximately one year). Current signaling support primarily comes from Ocean, independent miners, and small-scale operators. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2pool have not yet switched to supporting the proposal. Foundry has requested clients to vote based on their average hashrate; only when “support” votes exceed 51% of the participating weighted hashrate will the pool switch all its blocks to signaling support. If the current signaling level persists until block 961632, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will reject blocks that have not signaled version bit 4 and will instead follow the minority of blocks that do signal. Unupgraded nodes will continue to accept both signaling and non-signaling blocks, and will follow the chain with the most cumulative proof of work.
