Odaily Planet Daily: Market critics suggest that Robinhood's involvement in supporting Trump accounts may induce young and inexperienced investors to engage in gambling-like trading. Especially as new trading products, such as prediction markets (including push notifications, visual effects, and gamification elements), enter the platform, discussions about whether it may induce excessive trading among users remain unresolved. In response, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that this move is not to encourage speculation, but to expand financial inclusion and help more American families participate in long-term investments. Robinhood has adjusted some product designs and is attempting to transform from a "speculative trading platform" into a broader financial services company. (New York Times)
According to Cointelegraph, blockchain company Consensys onboarded a software development consultant using the alias Tyler Knapp through a reputable third-party service provider earlier this year, and a subsequent investigation revealed ties to North Korea. The individual had access to certain company systems for approximately one month, and the incident led Consensys to temporarily halt product releases and launch an internal investigation.
As the conflict between the United States and Iran continues to escalate, Pakistan has conveyed a clear stance to Iran that any attack on Saudi Arabia will be considered an attack on Pakistan. The Pakistani government and military have communicated this position to the highest levels of Iran. According to the Joint Strategic Defense Agreement signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in 2025, an attack on either party will be regarded as aggression against both. Sources revealed that Iran has informed the Houthis that if the United States attacks Iranian power facilities, the Houthis will consider blocking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis are reportedly deploying missiles and drones near the Strait. Pakistan stated that it hopes all parties will exercise restraint and ease regional tensions through diplomatic means.

According to reports from Radio Television Hong Kong citing Sotheby's, a Tom Ford black leather jacket worn and signed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sold for $960,000 at a charity auction in New York, 16 times the pre-auction high estimate of $60,000. The lot was previously estimated at $40,000 to $60,000. Sotheby's records indicate that Huang wore this leather jacket while attending Hon Hai Technology Day on October 18, 2023. PSA confirmed its provenance through on-site photos, and the inner signature was authenticated by James Spence Authentication. The auction was initiated by Long Journey Ventures, and the proceeds will be donated to the non-profit organization Edge Institute to support grants and residency programs for young innovators.
Claude announced that effective July 20, Fable 5 will be officially included in the Max and Team Premium subscription plans, and users will receive usage rights equivalent to 50% of the full quota. Pro and Team Standard users can still access Fable 5 by using credits and will receive a one-time $100 quota compensation. Claude stated that due to the difficulty in accurately predicting the scale of demand after Fable 5's launch, a phased rollout strategy was previously adopted, and the scope of subscriber access was expanded multiple times as compute resources increased. This process brought uncertainty to some users, so this adjustment aims to allow users to more clearly understand the model usage rights included in the subscription plans. In the future, continued investment will be made to expand compute capacity, and Fable 5's access policy will be continuously updated based on capacity conditions.
Cos, founder of SlowMist, shared a tweet on X platform regarding potential poisoning attack risks in Claude Code and published a detailed analysis of poisoning attacks targeting Grok Build CLI and Claude Code CLI. The analysis pointed out that the security mechanisms of Grok Build CLI are not unified, with different code paths having different trust assumptions, and the gaps between them serve as channels for attackers.Attackers may exploit malicious project configuration files to execute arbitrary commands without the user's knowledge, thereby stealing API keys, cloud credentials, or gaining control over local devices. Researchers constructed a test environment and found that on Mac systems, if Claude Code is compromised, executing a specific test command could trigger the launch of a local calculator, demonstrating a potential command execution risk. If the attack succeeds, attackers could further steal API keys from AI services such as Claude and OpenAI, causing account cost losses; obtain credentials for cloud services like AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud to access servers and data; tamper with code repositories to implant backdoors; and leverage local devices as a springboard to attack internal enterprise networks. It is reported that the relevant vulnerability has existed for one year.
the "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity stated that he has long shared his personal research and core views for free, without attempting to sell products or provide investment instructions to others. Meanwhile, he insists on transparently disclosing his personal investment returns, whether profit or loss. Regarding certain paid technical analysis (TA) subscription services, if these institutions could truly and consistently predict the collapse of the semiconductor market, they should theoretically generate substantial profits through short selling, rather than relying on monetizing paid content.Addressing the recent significant correction in AI-related stocks such as semiconductors and optical communications, Serenity explained that if his own portfolio employed 1.4x leverage while being highly concentrated in memory chips and the photonics industry chain, with related assets declining by an average of 35%, the portfolio's theoretical drawdown could reach approximately 49%. AI-related assets still hold long-term recovery potential, as the demand within the AI industry chain is forming structural growth, including: continuously increasing demand for AI computing, expanding energy needs for data centers, growing demand for high-performance storage, and upgrades to network infrastructure. Despite short-term market volatility, from the overall demand across computing, energy, memory, and network communication, the construction of AI infrastructure remains in a long-term development cycle.
: UDX, the newly acquired exchange by Underdog, self-certified 7 sports event contract templates with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on July 15, with plans to launch the first batch of contract trading no later than July 17. The filing sets targets for the launch but does not confirm that public trading has begun. The relevant certifications cover 3 baseball and 3 basketball templates, involving markets for game winner, winning margin, and total points. The 7th, broader contract allows for the creation of markets around whether a specified athlete, team, or other entity achieves an outcome within a limited period. These contracts have a notional value of $1, with a trading price range of $0.001 to $0.999. UDX stated that trading will typically remain open continuously except during announced maintenance windows, and liquidity will be provided by at least one market maker. Underdog acquired Aristotle Exchange DCM and its affiliated derivatives clearing organization in March. Prior to the acquisition, Underdog primarily acted as an intermediary, providing users with access to contracts listed on other federally registered trading venues.
Odaily News On the 18th, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement claiming that two oil tankers exploded and caught fire while passing through a minefield area in the southern Strait of Hormuz. The statement claimed that due to recent U.S. military actions, the Strait of Hormuz is now "completely closed," and until the U.S. ceases its military operations against Iran, the strait cannot be used for oil and gas transportation, and vessels should avoid entering the mined area. The statement did not disclose the nationalities of the two oil tankers, nor the casualties or damage. (Jin Shi)
decentralized hedge fund Numerai has completed its third strategic purchase of NMR, acquiring an additional $1.2 million worth of NMR from the open market, bringing its total NMR repurchases over the past year to $3.2 million. Numerai stated that this repurchase is used to support its staking system. This system allows independent data scientists to stake NMR on models. Models that perform better in predicting future market data will receive additional NMR, while those that underperform will lose their staked tokens. Numerai noted that since announcing its first strategic repurchase in July 2025, its number of active accounts has more than doubled. It has also launched infrastructure including Numerai Skills, the Numerai Model Context Protocol, and Atomic Blockchain Staking. Numerai currently manages approximately $700 million in assets, up from around $560 million at the end of 2025. Numeraire is a fixed-supply Ethereum token with a cap of 11 million NMR. This repurchase was executed on the open market over several weeks via Coinbase Institutional.
Odaily AI infrastructure project Venice has announced an update to its VVV and DIEM tokenomics model, introducing a new programmatic buyback and burn mechanism and gradually increasing the DIEM supply target from 38,000 to 40,000 tokens.Venice stated that VVV is its core ecosystem asset, an ERC-20 token issued on the Base chain. After users purchase and stake VVV, they can earn rewards, unlock Venice Pro benefits, and use it to mint DIEM. Previously, a portion of platform revenue was used for market buybacks and the burning of VVV.This update first expands the sources for VVV burning. Previously, Venice had already implemented an automated VVV buyback and burn mechanism through Pro, Pro+, and Max subscription revenues. Now, this mechanism will cover API credit purchases: for every $100 worth of Venice API credits purchased by a user, $5 will be used to buy and burn VVV. This process will be executed automatically. As API usage grows, more VVV will be removed from circulation.Venice stated that the new API burn mechanism will be tracked separately on the official burn page, displayed distinctly from the burn records generated by subscription revenue.Concurrently, Venice will adjust the DIEM supply target. DIEM is the second-generation token in the Venice ecosystem, used to provide access to AI model credits. Each DIEM corresponds to $1 worth of daily Venice AI credits.DIEM can only be minted by staking and locking VVV. Users can use or sell these AI credits. Previously, the DIEM supply target was long fixed at 38,000 tokens.Starting August 3rd, this target will be gradually raised to 40,000 tokens, adding up to 2,000 new DIEM minting capacity to the market. As each newly minted DIEM requires locking more staked VVV, this will correspondingly increase the daily supply of AI API credits.Venice indicated that as the DIEM supply approaches the target, the minting cost (Mint Rate) will gradually increase. This increase in the supply target will provide users with greater minting capacity while maintaining the ecosystem's supply-demand mechanism.This adjustment shows that Venice is strengthening its token economic flywheel through a path of "AI service demand growth → increased API revenue → continuous VVV burning → ecosystem value capture."
: Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) is exploring the commercialization of real-time information feeds on its Truth Social platform, offering institutional clients high-speed access to Trump's posts at a price of up to $100,000 per month. Sources indicate that Trump Media & Technology Group has proposed a six-figure monthly fee plan to potential clients, allowing quicker access to the latest updates from U.S. President Donald Trump on Truth Social. The service is primarily aimed at institutional investors seeking to track policy signals, market sentiment, and the impact of political events with low latency.As one of Trump's primary channels for public communication, Truth Social's content has long been a focus of financial markets. Information such as Trump's policy views, tariff measures, and regulatory statements has repeatedly triggered volatility in stocks, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrency markets. However, it remains unclear whether the high-speed data service has secured any clients yet, or how many institutions are willing to pay the listed fees. (Financial Times)
: Cardano development company Input Output will transfer control of key blockchain components such as the Haskell node, Plutus platform, and Daedalus wallet to external professional teams starting in August, as part of a multi-year decentralization advancement plan. Independent companies such as Se7en Labs and Teragone will be responsible for certain core infrastructures. At least three versions of Cardano will be maintained in Haskell, Rust, and Go languages, under community supervision and formal specification management. Cardano currently faces relatively weak network activity and a significant decline in the price of its ADA token. Founder Charles Hoskinson characterizes this restructuring and related ecosystem setbacks as necessary "growing pains" in the process of moving towards full decentralization.
Robinhood is betting on the decentralized finance (DeFi) market by building its own blockchain, Robinhood Chain, aiming to bring over 10 million active users into the on-chain ecosystem. However, current trading activity on the network is still primarily driven by meme coin speculation, while the initial vision of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) has yet to gain traction.Trading volume on Robinhood Chain has seen rapid growth recently. On July 12, the chain’s 24-hour DEX trading volume reached approximately $878 million, briefly surpassing Coinbase’s Base and Ethereum to rank among the top in decentralized trading volume, sparking interest in the crypto community. However, Robinhood Chain is still in its early stages. Data shows:1. On July 13, the chain’s perpetual contract trading volume was only about $5.9 million, while leading on-chain derivatives platform Hyperliquid recorded a trading volume of $8.9 billion during the same period;2. Robinhood Chain’s bridged TVL is reported at around $734 million, but the actual on-chain total value locked (TVL) is approximately $211 million, with some assets remaining in wallets and not entering lending or yield protocols;3. The market capitalization of tokenized RWA assets currently stands at just about $12.66 million.Currently, most of the trading activity on Robinhood Chain comes from meme coins. The CASHCAT token, recently launched on the chain, surged over 2,100% in one week, reaching a market cap of $156 million at one point—12 times the size of the entire RWA market on the chain.Robinhood stated that early on-chain activity is meeting expectations, with developers building out the ecosystem and users actively engaging with the network. The company emphasized that the long-term goal remains to bring real-world assets like stocks and ETFs on-chain, enabling services such as 24/7 trading and on-chain lending.Analysts believe Robinhood Chain’s development trajectory mirrors the early stages of some new public chains: gaining initial traction through speculative trading before proving whether it can convert this into long-term users, a developer ecosystem, and real financial applications. The key going forward will be whether Robinhood can leverage its massive retail user base to transform the short-term meme coin frenzy into a sustainable on-chain financial ecosystem. (CoinDesk)
analyst KawzInvests stated that Moonshot AI's upcoming Kimi K3 could become a significant event in the open-source AI space, and the infrastructure demand behind it may drive growth for AI cloud service platforms. Kimi K3 has approximately 2.8 trillion parameters, making it one of the ultra-large-scale open-source models. According to Moonshot's official evaluation, the model's performance is only slightly behind frontier models like Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, and the full model weights are expected to be released on July 27.KawzInvests pointed out that a model of this scale cannot run on an ordinary laptop or even a single server; users need a computing cluster composed of a large number of GPUs to complete model loading and inference. When top-tier open-source models are made available for free, the biggest beneficiaries might not be ordinary users, but rather platforms that offer model hosting and inference services. For example, $DOCN (DigitalOcean) already supports serverless inference services for models like Kimi K2.6. Developers do not need to deploy hardware; they can call the model via API and pay per Token. Additionally, the platform hosts over 70 models and covers GPU leasing, model fine-tuning, and AI Agent development tools.As more large-scale open-source models are released, developers' demand for low-barrier AI infrastructure will continue to increase. Model hosting, inference services, and GPU cloud platforms may become key beneficiaries in the open-source AI wave.
Bitcoin News posted on X platform, stating that Foundry USA Pool has begun soliciting voting opinions from its mining clients regarding BIP-110 signaling. According to the email sent to mining pool account holders, voting weight is calculated based on each participant's 10-day average hashrate. Foundry stated that it will follow the majority result of hashrate votes during the signaling period; if more than 51% of the voting hashrate supports BIP-110, the mining pool will signal "Yes" with 100% of its blocks; if the majority opposes it, no support signal will be issued. Foundry is the world's largest Bitcoin mining pool by hashrate.
