Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reports that Paradis Labs announced on the X platform that Agility plans to go public via a SPAC merger with CCXI around the fourth quarter, with its stock ticker changing to AGLT. Its private placement fundraising amounts to approximately $640 million, with support from investors including AMZN, NVDA, SoftBank, DCVC, among others. Approximately 100 Digit humanoid robots have been deployed across 9 facilities including those of AMZN, GXO, Schaeffler, Toyota, and MELI. In Schaeffler's 8 deployed units and GXO's 3 pre-booked deployments, accuracy rates stand at around 98%. Agility states that the payback period for owning one Digit humanoid robot is approximately 1.1 years. Orders for Digit v5 exceed $300 million, with the version slated for release in 2026; the pipeline includes over 30 customers.Agility is the first company to utilize NVDA Halos for full-stack robotics safety. Its RoboFab facility in Oregon has an annual production capacity exceeding 10,000 units, with approximately 75% of components sourced from the United States. As annual production scales up to over 10,000 units, the bill of materials cost is expected to drop from $125,000 to approximately $15,000 to $20,000. Paradis Labs indicates that, combining technology and commercialization, Agility is the most advanced among Western humanoid robot OEMs; Figure's deployment at BMW remains controversial, TSLA currently does not sell any units externally, Apptronik has no current deployments, and Boston Dynamics has robotic products but its public listing progress is slower, with no customers expected at least until 2027.
The PPP Prediction Market tool monitors that Polymarket has listed a new event: "Will the US government revoke public access to another major AI model?" The current probability is reported at 33%.The settlement rules state: If the US federal government, by the end of 2026, passes relevant legislation, issues an executive order, implements export controls, or takes any other action that substantially restricts US public access to a major AI model, the market outcome will be "Yes." Otherwise, the outcome will be "No." A "qualifying action" refers to a formal measure taken by the US government, the effect of which is equivalent to completely prohibiting the public from accessing a specific AI model within the United States. Furthermore, the settlement rules emphasize that regardless of the action's true purpose or nominal goal; if the action effectively results in the public being unable to access the model within the US—for example, prohibiting the model from being provided to foreign citizens or governments, as long as the general public cannot access the model through conventional channels within the US—it meets the qualification requirements. Merely excluding access to the model from a single channel is insufficient. Removals of public access that are not caused by any formal action of the US government are not eligible."Mainstream AI model" refers to the flagship, general-purpose large language model or multimodal foundation model developed by one of the following companies: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (including Google DeepMind), Meta, xAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Mistral AI, DeepSeek, Alibaba, ByteDance, Moonshot AI, and Zhipu AI (Z.ai). Models designed for specific tasks, or those that are outdated, used solely for research or preview purposes, do not meet this criterion.The action can target a single model or a group of models, as long as at least one major AI model becomes inaccessible to the public within the US as a result. A temporary suspension of public access to a model meets this condition. However, if an action has been implemented or a related resolution has been issued, but the public can still access the model before the resolution takes effect, that action does not meet the condition.The information sources for this market are official announcements and information from the US government and the relevant AI companies. However, reliable media reports may also be referenced to form a consensus.The Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor prediction markets, observing changes before prices are set.
According to Cointelegraph, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has released draft guidelines on crypto asset taxation, clarifying relevant tax treatment based on the current Income Tax Act and capital gains tax rules. The draft points out that most crypto activities such as trading, exchanging, and spending are regarded as "disposal events," which may trigger tax events; crypto assets are classified as intangible assets, rather than legal tender or foreign currency; and the donations tax rate is 20%-25%. Taxpayer intent is the key basis for determining whether they are classified as traders or long-term investors. According to SARS 2024 data, at least 5.8 million residents in South Africa hold crypto assets. The draft is now open for public comment, with a deadline of August 31.

the South African Revenue Service (SARS) released a draft guideline on crypto asset taxation on July 1, 2026, aiming to establish compliance rules for approximately 5.8 to 6 million cryptocurrency users in South Africa. The public comment period is open until August 31, 2026. According to the updated framework, crypto assets are classified as intangible assets, not as foreign currency or traditional money. Taxpayers holding these assets are not required to pay tax on unrealized gains or losses. Tax obligations arise upon the disposal of the asset. If an individual’s crypto activities are deemed to resemble business operations or short-term day trading, the profits will be classified as gross income and taxed at marginal rates ranging from 18% to 45%. If crypto assets are held as long-term investments, gains from disposal are subject to capital gains tax, with effective personal tax rates ranging from 18% to 36%. The draft also treats exchanges between different crypto assets as barter transactions, with tax consequences arising immediately at the time of the exchange based on local market value. SARS stated that it has deployed a Crypto Revenue Augmentation Unit to track and audit digital wallets and urged taxpayers who have not previously disclosed their crypto earnings to complete their filings through a voluntary disclosure program to avoid administrative penalties following stricter enforcement after the August deadline.

According to EToday, South Korea's top five virtual asset exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) added only 117 new trading listings in the first half of the year, a 44% decrease from 210 in the same period last year; the net increase plummeted from 191 to 49, a year-on-year decline of 74%. Meanwhile, the number of delistings surged from 19 to 68, an increase of 258%. Global virtual asset trading volume recorded $46.07 billion in June, down 34% from $70 billion in the same period last year. The shrinkage in trading volume directly compressed fee income; Dunamu (Upbit's parent company) and Bithumb's first-quarter fee income accounted for 97.49% and 99.99% of operating revenue respectively, highlighting the issue of high dependency on retail spot trading.

according to monitoring by Coinspect Security, by analyzing crypto wallet seeds generated using insecure code since 2018, it was discovered that thousands of seeds have been used in practice. In the past month alone, $3.14 million in suspected stolen funds was identified in related wallets. Coinspect Security stated that some funds exhibited patterns of being consolidated into a single address and money laundering. One affected address transferred out another $2 million just hours after the alert was issued, and it remains unclear whether this was part of the theft. Additionally, Coinspect Security issued a special warning to the Chinese-speaking community, indicating that many users whose assets may still be at risk are likely located in China.
According to CoinDesk, researchers at blockchain security company Hexens discovered an "expired cache" type confusion vulnerability in the Aptos blockchain Move virtual machine. Attackers require only about $3,000 in server costs to launch attacks in a simulated environment with a success rate of nearly 90%, without needing validator privileges or internal knowledge. Researchers ran approximately 20 attacks in simulated tests, succeeding 17-18 times, and verified the potential ability to control management permissions of cross-chain protocols such as LayerZero, Wormhole, and USDC CCTP. Hexens assessed that the vulnerability directly threatens protocols on the Aptos chain such as DeFi, stablecoins, and liquid staking, involving assets in the low single-digit billions of dollars; if spread through paths such as cross-chain bridges, stablecoin minting, and centralized exchanges, the systemic risk exposure could reach up to $70 billion. The Aptos team completed the fix and deployed it to the mainnet within hours after receiving the vulnerability report on February 25, and currently no user funds have been compromised.
According to a post by Vitalik Buterin (@VitalikButerin), Ethereum researchers recently held a meeting in Berlin to update the protocol's long-term development roadmap (strawmap.org). Vitalik pointed out that "Lean Ethereum" is not a single upgrade, but a series of improvements to be implemented in phases over the next three to four years. Its significance is comparable to "The Merge," almost covering the refactoring of every core module of the protocol. The main contents include: • Verification Mechanism: Introduce recursive STARKs to replace the existing direct re-execution method, becoming a first-class core component of the protocol • Quantum Safety: Priority significantly increased, all quantum-vulnerable components will be replaced, quantum-safe Blob design is already underway • Consensus Layer: Decouple availability chains and finality, achieve one to two rounds of finality, with better security and lower latency • State Layer: The existing dynamic state remains unchanged, but new types of state with stronger scalability will be added (such as UTXO storage, ring buffers, etc.). It is expected that by 2030, Ethereum will have 2TB of dynamic state + 100TB of new state. After migration of applications such as ERC20 and NFTs, gas fees can be reduced by more than 10 times • Privacy: Upgraded from an additional feature to a first-class goal, permeating designs such as Mempool and state trees • VM: In addition to EVM, leanISA or RISC-V will be introduced. The long-term goal is for the protocol layer to only directly
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Intel adjusted the prices of its PC and server processors on the 3rd. The prices of the Core Ultra 200S Plus and Xeon 6 processors, launched at the end of March, have been increased, while the prices of the Core Ultra 200S processors, released in 2024, have been slightly reduced. The suggested price of the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has been raised by $50 from its launch price of $299 to $349, and the price of the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus has been increased by $30 to $229. Prices for the server-grade Xeon 6 processors have been raised by up to several thousand dollars, with the suggested price of the Xeon 6980P rising to $13,955. Intel stated that this price adjustment reflects the current market environment, rising supply chain costs, and strong demand for specific product lines. (ZDNet Korea Semiconductor).
Vitalik Buterin stated on platform X that Ethereum researchers have finalized the "Ethereum Slimming" roadmap during a recent meeting in Berlin. This roadmap is not a single upgrade but a series of forks spanning 3 to 4 years. Starting from the "I-star" fork, it will become the third major phase of Ethereum and will replace most core components. Core changes include shifting verification from direct execution to recursive STARKs, introducing 1 to 2 rounds of finality in consensus, multi-dimensional gas pricing, and completely replacing existing schemes with quantum-resistant cryptography. In terms of the state model, the current dynamic state will only expand to approximately 2TB, while new scalable states such as UTXO and ring buffers will be introduced, with a total size potentially reaching 100TB, suitable for ERC20, NFTs, and DeFi. After rewriting, transaction fees can be reduced by more than 10 times; complex applications like Uniswap pools will retain their old state without mandatory migration. Privacy will be elevated to a first-class design goal, with all new components required to support quantum-resistant, intermediary-free private transactions. Formal verification will be fully deployed, and the exploration of introducing RISC-V or leanISA as the underlying protocol VM will be undertaken. The EVM may transition into a compilation-layer feature in the future. Gas limits, Blob capacity, and block times will be increased multiple times over the next 5 years, with the Glasterdam fork first raising the gas limit. Regarding the fork order, the H-star Hegota fork will be the last "pre-slimming" fork, after which the era of slimming will begin.
