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.

Asset management firm Franklin Templeton announced its support for the CLARITY Act on July 27. Franklin Resources had previously disclosed that as of June 30, its assets under management totaled $1.79 trillion, up from $1.78 trillion a month earlier. Franklin Templeton stated that the CLARITY Act would establish clearer rules for digital assets, help investors understand the protections available, and increase corporate certainty regarding the division of federal regulatory responsibilities. BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, and Charles Schwab have previously publicly supported this market structure bill. Senate Republicans released an updated version on July 22, proposing to divide the regulatory oversight of digital assets between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
: The world’s largest asset management company, BlackRock, has expressed support for the CLARITY Act. Samara Cohen, Senior Managing Director and Head of Global Market Development at BlackRock, stated the bill represents a significant step toward establishing an investor-first regulatory framework for digital assets. Cohen stated the bill will help shape the next phase of market structure in the US by supporting innovation while maintaining transparency, resilience, and investor protection. Fidelity, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, and Charles Schwab have previously expressed support for related legislation or clearer digital asset rules. Last week, the US Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act, integrating work from both the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that relevant Senate work could extend beyond the August recess. Crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto stated that it has sent over 925,000 emails to Congress in 2025, exceeding 1.1 million contacts with Congress since its founding. The organization said each Senate vote on the CLARITY Act will be included in a public congressional scorecard.
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.
on July 25 that a Reddit user discovered hundreds of fully readable Claude shared conversations through a Google search for "site:claude.ai/share". The content includes sensitive information such as crypto wallet seed phrases, potential Social Security numbers, and legal discussions. The issue stems from Anthropic failing to add a noindex meta tag to Claude's shared pages. While its robots.txt had blocked crawling of Claude's shared URLs, Google could still index relevant pages when shared links appeared on public websites. The same issue also affected Claude's public artifacts, including apps, dashboards, and financial tools created by users within Claude. Related search results once displayed payroll sheets containing employee names, internal customer relationship management chat exports, and unreleased product roadmaps. Before July 26, after Anthropic updated its configuration and added the noindex tag, Google began removing Claude-related results. Bing still displayed some shared links; one GitHub repository has archived 453 Claude conversations and 519 Grok conversations, totaling 11,241 plaintext messages.
Crypto.com Custody has announced it will provide institutional-grade custody and liquidity services for XYO and XL1. This marks the first listing on a major trading platform for XL1 following its token sale, allowing qualified institutions and high-net-worth clients to store, manage, and exchange both tokens through a regulated pathway. Related assets will be held in client-segregated MPC wallets and held by bankruptcy-remote entities. Private keys are protected by multi-party computation running within a trusted execution environment. Clients have access to cold storage, audit trails, and Crypto.com’s institutional liquidity services. Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com, stated that digital asset organizations require custody solutions that offer both security and liquidity. Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO, noted that after XYO was initially listed on the Crypto.com trading platform, the relationship between the two parties has continued to expand. In July 2026, Citadel Securities invested $400 million in Crypto.com at a valuation of $20 billion. In February 2026, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) conditionally approved Crypto.com to establish Crypto.com National Trust Bank.
Odaily reports: After perpetual futures entered the regulated US market, Wall Street institutions are still taking a wait-and-see approach. Bank of America estimates that the global annual trading volume of perpetual futures is approximately 90 trillion USD; within a week of Kalshi launching perpetual futures in June, trading volume exceeded 1 billion USD. Perpetual futures are similar to standard futures but have no expiration date, meaning traders do not need to close or roll over positions monthly or quarterly. Instead, periodic funding rates keep the contract price close to the underlying asset. On May 29, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved Kalshi to offer such contracts, and Coinbase also received approval to list regulated perpetual futures in the US. Insiders say that large financial institutions are still studying these products, with proprietary trading firms, market makers, and emerging clearing firms likely to be the first to participate. Large banks face stricter capital rules, client obligations, and reputational risks, and typically wait for years of data, clear regulatory treatment, and stable infrastructure. Perpetual futures may also be used to manage weekend risk, but market depth remains a concern. Industry insiders note that regulatory disagreements are emerging over whether certain contracts should be classified as futures or swaps, and CME has already challenged the CFTC's handling of Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual contract.

Moonshot AI released the open-weights model Kimi K3 on Hugging Face. The model is a native multimodal agent model with a total parameter size of 2.8T, adopting a MoE architecture with approximately 104B activated parameters, supporting text and image input, and featuring a 1 million Token context window.
According to on-chain investigator Specter, the wallet (2yu...BMC) publicly shared by Kimchi in an X reply in April 2024 is linked to trading activity following the listing of several tokens. On May 30, 2024, at 13:41 UTC, within the same minute as the STAR deployment, the Kimchi-associated wallet purchased tokens for 2.96 SOL (valued at $407) and later sold them for $45,600. On June 11, 2024, at 23:38 UTC, two minutes after the deployment of DADDY ANSEM, the Kimchi-associated wallet bought tokens for 4.94 SOL ($730) and later sold them for $14,600. On June 26, 2024, at 22:45 UTC, one minute after the deployment of MUVA, the Kimchi-associated wallet bought tokens for 2.9 SOL ($407) and later sold them for $53,000. Specter also stated that a cluster of exchange deposit addresses revealed 5 additional wallets involved in the same MUVA launch bundle trade; currently, there is no verifiable evidence to prove that Kimchi obtained eight-figure dollar profits from the TRUMP token.
citing sources familiar with the matter, that a company backed by Chinese state capital has commenced mass production of domestically developed DUV (Deep Ultraviolet) lithography manufacturing equipment. This marks a significant step forward for China's semiconductor industry in advancing import substitution.According to reports, the company plans to produce approximately 5 DUV lithography machines in 2026 and expand output to around 20 units in 2027. While there remains a gap compared to the production capacity of Dutch lithography giant ASML (which delivered 131 immersion DUV lithography systems last year), the breakthrough in mass-producing domestic DUV equipment signals further progress towards self-sufficiency and independent control of China's chip manufacturing supply chain.Sources stated that this batch of domestically produced DUV lithography machines is scheduled for delivery to major Chinese chip manufacturers, including Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), Hua Hong Semiconductor, and memory chip producer ChangXin Memory Technologies.Among these, ChangXin Memory Technologies, as a representative enterprise in China's DRAM industry, is expected to become a key adopter of advanced domestically produced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. If the domestic DUV equipment can achieve stable operation on the production lines of manufacturers like ChangXin, it will further reduce China's memory chip industry's reliance on critical overseas equipment.
According to CoinDesk, Swiss digital asset bank AMINA is partnering with Wall Street firm Cantor to evaluate potential listing options. Sources familiar with the matter said the company had explored paths such as mergers with special purpose acquisition companies, but currently favors entering the public market through a reverse acquisition by a digital asset treasury company. However, AMINA stated that relevant discussions are still ongoing and no final decision has been made; the core goal at this stage is to raise capital to support strategic growth, rather than pushing for a rapid listing.
