Citing Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, The Wolf of All Streets (@scottmelker) notes that approximately 2%-3% of the inflows into BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) have come from users who previously self-custodied Bitcoin, with Balchunas believing this proportion still has room to grow. He also points out that for Bitcoin users seeking censorship resistance, ETFs cannot replace on-chain self-custody; however, for those merely looking to hedge against currency debasement, ETFs represent a highly attractive store of value. Additionally, other analysis indicates that Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF has seen zero outflows since its launch five months ago, which is viewed as a reflection of the current market's strong confidence in Bitcoin as an asset class.

predict.fun announced on X platform that it has launched the Predict Developer Dashboard, a self-service portal for creating applications, generating API keys, and managing usage and rate limits. Through this interface, users can manually apply for higher usage-based tiers and import existing keys.

This limit is enabled by default for new applications, and will be applied to existing applications the next time users apply for rate limit adjustments.
According to Fortune, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in an interview with Fox Business that the AI wave will not destroy jobs but instead create hundreds of thousands of new positions. He specifically noted that with the massive construction of infrastructure such as semiconductor fabs and AI data centers, trades like electricians, plumbers, and technicians will see a surge in demand. Huang predicted this will be the "largest infrastructure buildout in human history." NVIDIA has already committed to providing up to $105 billion in financial support for a new OpenAI data center in Ohio. However, the U.S. faces a severe shortage of skilled trades workers, with an estimated 2.1 million trade positions expected to remain vacant by 2030. In response, Blackstone, Ford, Google, and other companies have jointly launched the "U.S. Skilled Trades Alliance," aiming to expand skills training across 30 states nationwide.
According to The Verge, Nvidia DLSS 5 will officially launch on September 3, currently supporting only the RTX 50 series desktop and laptop GPUs, along with the GeForce Now cloud gaming platform. The day-one launch title is NBA 2K27, which releases on the same day, while other previously announced supported titles (including Resident Evil: Requiem, Starfield, and Hogwarts Legacy) have not yet had their release dates confirmed. Nvidia positions DLSS 5 as "the most significant graphics breakthrough since real-time ray tracing in 2018," but the technology has been controversial since its March release, with early demos facing widespread criticism for drastic alterations to character appearances. In terms of performance, DLSS 5 incurs a significant overhead. According to Nvidia, the performance penalty is estimated at around 50% to 60%, meaning that even a mid-range RTX 5060 requires 6x frame generation to run smoothly at 1080p.

The official X account of Injective (@injective) issued a statement confirming that Injective recently completed an accelerated network upgrade. The upgrade process exceeded the expected timeline, resulting in some validators being temporarily jailed for failing to complete the update within the required window. Consequently, the network's staked amount experienced a brief decline, and several exchanges temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals. This accelerated upgrade was initiated in response to a vulnerability exploit targeting a minority of ecosystem applications within the binary options market. The attack was confined to the respective application layers, leaving the Injective mainnet, underlying protocol, native assets, and consensus mechanism unaffected. The associated attack vectors have been successfully contained and remediated. Injective stressed that all user funds on-chain and staked INJ tokens remained fully secure, noting that external reports characterizing the event as the "blockchain being attacked or shut down" were inaccurate. Moving forward, Injective will implement enhanced invariant detection, real-time monitoring systems, and additional security safeguards, while maintaining continuous collaboration with ecosystem developers to raise overall security standards.
