According to CNBC, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated during the latest earnings conference call that Apple's hybrid AI strategy—where some AI tasks run locally on-device and complex tasks are processed via Google Cloud—is a "competitive weapon", distinct from the data center investments of tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, which often exceed $100 billion. Apple's capital expenditure in the second fiscal quarter was only $2.46 billion, lower than the market expectation of $3.44 billion. Cook also revealed that Apple plans to make AI a core selling point for iCloud+ subscription upgrades, offering paid expansion options for users with higher AI usage, but the specific pricing plan has not been finalized yet.
According to BIT Official Chinese (@BITofficial_CN) analysis, the current crypto market faces dual pressure from the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and the slowed progress of the CLARITY Act. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh maintains a hawkish stance; the 2-year US Treasury yield has risen cumulatively by approximately 35 basis points since late January, and the Committee has seen a pattern of 9 votes to maintain interest rates and 3 votes supporting rate hikes. Regarding the CLARITY Act, prediction markets indicate a mere 32% probability of it being signed by the end of 2026, with the legislative window continuing to narrow. Meanwhile, crypto market trading volume has retreated 80% from highs, total market cap has fallen approximately 50%, and USDT and USDC have shown no significant expansion since November 2025, reflecting an overall lack of new USD liquidity in the market. Despite this, Bitcoin remains within the $62,000 to $66,000 range, correcting only about 3% over the past week. It demonstrates stronger resilience compared to most altcoins, reflecting that active position adjustment pressure has been largely released. BIT points out that if Bitcoin subsequently regains $70,000 and drives multiple indicators to turn bullish, it will further confirm that the low point of this cycle has been established.

据 Cointelegraph 报道，加拿大比特币硬件钱包制造商 Coinkite 警告 Coldcard Mk3 用户立即迁移资金，受影响固件版本为 2021 年 3 月发布的 4.0.1 至最终版本 5.0.3，Mk4、Q 及 Mk5 不受影响。与此同时，比特币安全专家正在调查一起涉及 594.48 枚 BTC（约 3830 万美元）的异常清仓事件，涉及 1324 个 UTXO 在三个区块内通过 500 笔交易被转移，所有地址均为单签名地址。
Odaily News, BIT Official released a weekly report stating that trading volume in the crypto market has fallen 80% from its peak, contracting approximately 60% from the Q4 2025 high, while the total crypto market cap has also dropped 50%. The report noted that without a meaningful recovery in volume, the market will struggle to form a sustained rebound.Despite the market still digesting the double headwinds of the Fed's hawkish policy stance and stalled progress on the CLARITY Act, Bitcoin has held within the $62,000 to $66,000 range. BIT Official expects Bitcoin to eventually break upward.The report stated that Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has recently adopted a "say less, do less" communication strategy, and the uncertainty surrounding his policy stance is unsettling the market. Warsh has been known for his hawkish position over the past two decades, but the market had previously anticipated that, with Trump's support, he might push monetary policy in a more dovish direction. If that shift materializes, it could be a positive catalyst for Bitcoin.Additionally, prediction market data shows that the probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law by the end of 2026 currently stands at just 32%. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated that the Senate will prioritize other issues, and with the August recess approaching, the remaining legislative window for the bill is further narrowing.

According to Fortune magazine, Amazon released its Q2 2026 earnings report, showing strong overall performance, with after-hours stock price rising over 9%. In terms of core data, AWS cloud business revenue reached $42.2 billion, a year-over-year increase of 37%, marking the fastest growth in nearly 18 quarters; operating income was $16.6 billion, up 64% year-over-year, with profit margin rising to 39.4%; AWS customer contract backlog reached $496 billion. The company's overall net sales increased by 20% year-over-year to $200.6 billion, with operating income of $27.5 billion. Regarding outlook, CEO Andy Jassy stated that Amazon's 2026 capital expenditure expectation was raised from $200 billion to $220 billion, mainly driven by rising memory costs, but even so, capacity is expected to remain insufficient to meet all demand in the next two years. Jassy also pointed out that 85% of global IT spending is still on-premises, the cloud migration wave is far from over, and AWS is winning the "largest share" of enterprise migration plans.
Odaily News: The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), an industry organization representing over 1,300 technology companies, is urging the U.S. Senate to advance the CLARITY Act and establish clear federal rules for digital assets. Michael Petricone, CTA's Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, said on X on July 28 that the House has completed its work, and the Senate now must decide whether financial technology innovation develops in the U.S. or overseas. CTA stated that regulatory certainty would boost investment, strengthen consumer protections, expand innovation, and reinforce America's position in blockchain technology. The organization noted that companies need clear federal rules for digital assets before committing long-term capital and developing new financial products. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has released a revised version of the CLARITY Act text, incorporating work from the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee, covering market oversight, consumer protections, and the allocation of regulatory authority over digital assets. Senator Elizabeth Warren stated that the revised text still fails to address significant conflicts of interest. The bill remains stalled in the Senate as lawmakers negotiate unresolved provisions. Stablecoin rewards are also a point of contention, with more than 130 banking executives urging legislators to prevent payment stablecoins from operating in a manner similar to interest-bearing accounts.
Odaily News: Canadian Bitcoin hardware manufacturer Coinkite has warned users of Coldcard Mk3 signing devices to migrate funds from wallets whose seed phrases were generated by affected firmware. Coinkite stated that seed phrases generated by Mk3 firmware version 4.0.1 and later, released in March 2021, may put funds at risk, with the impact extending to version 5.0.3, the final version supporting the Mk3. Coinkite said that Mk4, Q, and Mk5 models are not affected; affected users should generate new seed phrases on unaffected devices, verify backups and receiving addresses, send a small test transaction first, and then migrate the remaining funds. The company said its investigation is still ongoing and that a formal technical review will be published. Bitcoin security experts are examining a centralized transfer of unclear origin involving 594.48 BTC in single-signature addresses, valued at approximately $38.3 million. Rob Hamilton, CEO and co-founder of AnchorWatch, stated that 1,324 unspent transaction outputs were moved via 500 transactions within a three-block window, with 562 BTC subsequently consolidated into another address. Kevin Loaec, CEO of Wizardsardine, said the current hypothesis is that a low-entropy random number generator has caused insufficient randomness in some wallets' seed phrases, with the relevant flaw potentially stemming from a software library, secure element, specific device batch, or firmware version. He added that this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed, and wallets from which only partial funds were transferred may still face the risk of subsequent theft.

Odaily News, July 30 – Anthropic released a report stating that during a review of cybersecurity assessment records, three incidents were discovered in which the Claude model accessed the internet in a third-party evaluation environment and further obtained unauthorized access to three real organizations' systems.Anthropic stated that the review covered 141,000 evaluation runs that could have potentially gained network access, and a total of three related incidents were found. All incidents occurred during Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity tests, where the model was told the environment was a simulation with no internet access; however, due to configuration errors by the evaluation partner, the actual environment had internet connectivity.Among these, Claude Opus 4.7 accessed real company infrastructure during one test and obtained database permissions containing hundreds of production data records; Claude Mythos 5 built a malicious Python package and uploaded it to PyPI, resulting in the package being downloaded and run on 15 real systems; another internal research test model scanned approximately 9,000 targets and accessed a company's internet application through a public vulnerability.Anthropic stated that these incidents were not cases of the model actively seeking to escape or pursue its own goals, but rather the model mistakenly believed the real systems were within the test scope and continued executing the assigned cyberattack tasks. Notably, the newer internal research model stopped attacking after identifying that the targets might be real systems.Anthropic stated that these incidents primarily reflect issues with evaluation environment isolation and operational processes, rather than model alignment failures. The company has suspended related cybersecurity assessments, strengthened security controls in evaluation environments, continuously monitored test records, and will collaborate with third-party organizations to conduct further reviews.
Odaily News, CZ posted on X platform, expressing agreement with Spigg's view on Giggle Academy selling donated tokens, and stated that Giggle Academy is not a crypto team, but is developing a free education app, and managing cryptocurrency or token supply is not its expertise. Giggle Academy cannot determine how selling a certain amount of tokens would affect prices, or how many tokens should be sold or retained each month, so it has chosen to periodically sell most of the token value to cover expenses.Crypto projects should not donate large amounts of tokens to charities or other organizations that could affect market prices, expecting them to manage token economics on their own. Project teams should be responsible for their own token supply management. He has previously provided BNB to Giggle Academy multiple times, and Giggle has sold or exchanged it for fiat currency to cover operational expenses. BNB developers and holders have no objection to this, and the community is proud to support educational initiatives.CZ stated that regular donations would be welcomed, but he will not commit Giggle Academy or himself to any specific actions, nor provide additional thanks or market interaction. The core of donation should be to support Giggle Academy's mission of providing free education to children worldwide, not to generate attention for tokens. (CZ)
