CZ posted on X platform, stating that he has not communicated with the Giggle Team regarding the recent sale of donated tokens. However, GiggleAcademy typically exchanges or sells most donated tokens for BNB at the end of each month, and he does not directly manage that address. CZ stated that if someone sends or donates tokens to another party's address without a prior agreement or contract, the recipient should not be expected to perform actions like burning on behalf of the sender. If it is called a donation, one should anticipate the recipient using the tokens. CZ noted that tokens donated to GiggleAcademy will be sold, and the proceeds will be used to fund free education for children globally, with the project reaching over 1 million children in less than 2 years.CZ also expressed support for all Meme coins and mentioned that he might buy or sell one or two Meme coins in the coming weeks to test some new features.

Bitget Wallet announces that its crypto payment card, Bitget Wallet Card, has completed a major upgrade and will officially launch the "Assetback" mechanism on August 1, with the asset cashback rate simultaneously increased to 3%. This mechanism will be open to over 50 countries across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Cardholders can freely choose their preferred cashback assets, covering BTC, gold, tokenized US stocks (NVDA, TSLA, GOOGL, S&P 500), stablecoins, and more. The base asset cashback rate is 2%, while new users or users who reach the monthly spending threshold can unlock the 3% cashback tier. This upgrade breaks the traditional model where card swiping only returns cash/points, marking the transformation of Bitget Wallet Card services from consumption cashback to accumulation of appreciating assets. It turns daily consumption into an opportunity for RWA asset allocation, allowing users to achieve a new daily finance experience of "spend to build positions" without needing to open a brokerage account throughout the process or perform extra operations at checkout.

: In response to recent reports that "AI stock god Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Fund is seeking new capital support," well-known investment research firm Citrini officially commented on X platform: "If you are an LP of Situational Awareness, you invested in the fund based on information from its offering memo, such as 'AI is the only thing that matters, and if you recognize this and wish to invest in a vehicle that expresses this view by going all-in long on the most leveraged expression of our most optimistic AI thesis in the stock market, then you invest.' Not just because you're bullish on AI, but because you believe Leopold is one of the few 'hundreds' / knows these 'hundreds' who will bring about the machine god by 2030. And then, over the next two years, this fund did exactly what it promised. And it went up. Probably over 20x, if I recall correctly.Again, in this scenario, you are the person who read 'Situational Awareness' (that paper) and said: 'Yes, I agree AI is more powerful than nuclear bombs and will turn the world upside down before the end of this decade. And I want to put my investment into the hedge fund version of that thesis.' Now those stocks have fallen, so the fund's assets have also fallen.Let me ask you—do these LPs look like the type of people who would turn bearish on AI just because SK Hynix dropped 50% in six weeks? The kind who likely view the level of tech optimism akin to 'I'm going long TQQQ' as normal people treat municipal bond fund investments?Yeah... I wouldn't expect many of them to be calling Mr. Ash Burner to complain right now. Some people don't realize how insane a 2200% gain since inception (2024) really is. To put it in perspective, if you invested $100 million when SALP launched and lost ninety percent (of those gains) in July, your investment would still be worth $230 million today.I think LPs are very likely to buy the dip. Situational Awareness will get the money they're asking for. And once the capital is in, they will unwind their (likely short-term) hedges because they won't face the risk of being liquidated by their prime broker. This means the market makers who sold them those hedges will have to delta-hedge their unwind on what could be a fairly significant notional exposure. At the same time, they will deploy these funds into what they see as 'the best buying opportunity since April 2025.' I don't think Leopold is in trouble; rather, it's more likely he can raise the capital he needs, meaning it's more probable Leopold triggers a market bottom than drives AI stocks lower.If there's something I'm missing that would cause this group of AI super-believers—who are likely still significantly profitable on their SALP investment—to decide they'd rather not buy the dip, then yeah, any stock that even smells of AI might head straight to hell. But... (that's not the reality).”

According to Bloomberg, Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASM International NV issued third-quarter revenue guidance, expecting quarterly revenue ending in September (at constant exchange rates) to reach 1.1 billion euros (approximately 1.3 billion US dollars), plus or minus 5%, higher than the analysts' average expectation of 1.04 billion euros. However, although the guidance exceeded market expectations, the company's stock performance remained flat, failing to elicit a positive response from investors. Analysts pointed out that this reflects that current market expectations for beneficiaries of the AI computing power investment boom have risen significantly, and simply "beating expectations" is no longer sufficient to boost market sentiment.
