Models such as GPT-5.7 and GPT-6 will only count if they are confirmed to be the same model as Astra.A public beta or opening a waitlist counts as an official release; closed beta or private access does not. Settlement will primarily rely on official information from OpenAI, with consistent reports from credible media also considered.Join the PPP Signal Push Community to stay ahead of the curve and seize the initiative.

Mantle officially launches its new website (mantle.xyz) and simultaneously initiates a brand narrative upgrade. Mantle's new positioning focuses on "powering borderless access to global capital markets," aiming to build an open finance network connecting global market participants with on-chain institutional-grade capital market assets. This Mantle upgrade is not a rebranding or narrative pivot, but a natural evolution based on RWA product practices over the past year. Over the past year, Mantle has launched various types of RWA assets such as tokenized stocks, money markets, treasury yields, and commodities, and from this has derived a core insight: tokenization itself cannot solve the problem of "who can truly reach and use the assets"; liquidity and distribution are key. The new narrative "powering borderless access to global capital markets" is precisely the core theme running through all important product launches this year. The Mantle ecosystem already hosts 710+ RWA assets, enabling 7×24-hour non-stop trading; its dual liquidity model features xChange's Atomic RFQ fixed quotes operating alongside Fluxion's AMM deep liquidity, ensuring assets can be traded at real scale, not just passively listed. According to RWA.xyz data, in July, RWA price on Mantle

Odaily News, X-Agent recently published a technical article titled "An OPC Is a Stack, Not a Headcount Story," arguing that as AI significantly reduces R&D and operational costs, the competitiveness of a One Person Company (OPC) should no longer be measured by how much work a single person can complete.The article points out that an OPC with true commercial capability needs to establish a complete closed loop spanning demand discovery, AI production, capability infrastructure, distribution, economic systems, and market feedback.And this is precisely the problem X-Agent aims to solve.At the capability layer, X-Agent leverages MCP to help individual developers productize their capabilities, transforming a project into a service that can be discovered, invoked, and verified by Agents. At the commercial layer, X-Agent further connects Agent distribution and payment infrastructure, enabling services to enter real Agent workflows, with usage-based billing, budget management, payment, and settlement.Meanwhile, the X-Agent MCP Hackathon is also driving this model into practice: developers do not need to start by building an "MCP server" from scratch. Instead, they first prove that a real capability can solve a practical problem, then convert it into a production-grade Agent service through standardization, deployment verification, and security checks.Therefore, what X-Agent is building is not just a development tool, but a framework that helps OPCs complete:Demand discovery → Capability building → MCP productization → Agent distribution → Commercial settlement → Market feedbackUltimately forming a self-reinforcing AI business closed loop.The OPC of the future is not one person taking on all the work, but one person using AI and Agents to organize a complete set of company-level capabilities.
Bitget CFD has officially launched its sub-account feature, aimed at providing institutional clients, professional trading teams, and high-net-worth users with more refined multi-strategy management, achieving 100% physical isolation between different strategies and positions. Sub-accounts share the master account's KYC status with no need for repeated verification. By default, users can create up to 5 independent CFD accounts with one click, supporting the deployment of different strategies—such as EA, high-frequency scalping, long-term trend, and hedging—into separate accounts, ensuring each strategy operates in a clean, independent environment.At the same time, the master account can centrally view real-time equity, margin ratio, current orders, and historical orders of all sub-accounts, while retaining the authority to reset sub-account trading passwords and read-only passwords, catering to professional teams' needs in account management, permission control, and internal risk management. Risk notifications for each sub-account, including margin top-ups and liquidation warnings, will also be independently sent to corresponding emails and app pushes, further enhancing the efficiency of multi-strategy collaboration and risk response.
