Odaily News: As Wall Street and global financial institutions accelerate their entry into the digital asset space, the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gradually blurring. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that the era of "going long Bitcoin and short bankers" is over, and financial institutions are pivoting to the other side of the crypto industry, driving digital asset adoption.Hunter Horsley noted that this summer, two financial institutions, each managing over $1 trillion in assets, approved the launch of crypto products in a bear market environment, showing that large institutions are expanding client access to digital assets. "Everyone put on the crypto jersey this year. Now, everyone is working for the crypto industry," Horsley said. He pointed out that these institutions, managing over a trillion dollars in client assets, would not have opened such services during the 2022 crypto market downturn, but are now actively embracing this sector.Fabian Dori, Chief Investment Officer at Sygnum, also believes the relationship between banks and the crypto industry has undergone a structural shift. "The trade of 'going long Bitcoin and short bankers' is over. Banks have moved from resisting digital assets to building, supporting, and distributing them through custody, tokenization, and compliant trading," a change driven primarily by growing client demand and gradually clarifying regulatory rules, rather than short-term market cycles.Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, said that over the past two years, its client base has increasingly reflected the convergence of traditional and crypto finance. Large financial institutions typically choose to partner with specialized crypto infrastructure companies rather than building their own technology systems.In recent years, a growing number of financial institutions have entered the crypto space, including Swissquote, DBS Bank, BBVA, BNY Mellon, Credit Suisse-affiliated entities, as well as Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab.

Odaily News: Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced on the X platform the launch of an open-source project called "anthropies," stating that he has developed a set of tools compatible with most LLMs to handle watermarks and related markers in Anthropic/Claude outputs. According to the project's README, the tools distinguish among three types of information: statistical watermarks in text, C2PA content credentials in images, and Co-Authored-By: Claude attributions in Git commits. However, the project also notes that it cannot guarantee complete circumvention of Anthropic's undisclosed detection mechanisms.
Odaily News Ethereum developer Toni Wahrstätter stated on the X platform that Ethereum core developers are planning the next annual upgrade, "Hegotá", with 66 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) currently on the candidate list. In the coming core developer meetings, these proposals will be filtered to ultimately determine the upgrade contents that can complete implementation, devnet testing, testnet deployment, and have the potential to launch in 2027. Proposals that fail to be included in Hegotá will be postponed to the next hard fork, making the current screening process highly significant for the future direction of Ethereum's development.Currently, FOCIL (Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists) has been confirmed as one of the key upgrade components of Hegotá. Developers believe that combining it with scoped transactions (EIP-8141), keyed nonces (EIP-8250), and root references (EIP-8272) could help build native privacy capabilities, enabling privacy applications to operate without relying on third-party intermediaries.Additionally, enhancing scalability is also a key direction for Hegotá. Developers have proposed repricing data resources (EIP-8131, EIP-8279) and state growth costs (EIP-8368) to prepare for a future increase of the Gas limit to 600 million. While these improvements are less intuitive than privacy features, they are considered critical work for advancing Ethereum's scaling in the short term.Other candidate upgrades include shorter block times (EIP-8198), issuance mechanism adjustments (EIP-8363), anti-correlation penalty mechanisms (EIP-7716), EVM optimization and simplification, as well as the first round of EIP discussions related to zkEVM and quantum-resistant cryptography.It is noted that Hegotá cannot include all features expected by the community. The core team will need to strike a balance between the "future vision" and "near-term deliverable upgrades," and most candidate EIPs may ultimately not make it into this upgrade.Currently, 256 days have passed since the launch of the current Glamsterdam upgrade, with the goal of completing deployment by the end of this year. Hegotá is planned to launch in 2027, and in the coming months, core developers and the community will engage in discussions around the prioritization of various EIPs. Community feedback will still play a role in the selection process, and participants who support or oppose a particular EIP's inclusion in Hegotá can voice their opinions to the core development team through public discussions.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that Tether is not currently developing its own blockchain, nor does it have related plans. The company will continue to remain chain-neutral and support multiple blockchains as transfer networks for USDT.
Odaily News "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity shared insights on the AI industry chain on the X platform, noting that AI infrastructure demand is driving multiple sectors—including storage, advanced packaging, computing power financing, optical communications, power supply, and electronic components—into a long-term expansion cycle. The AI supply chain remains in a phase of rapid growth.In the storage sector, Serenity cited UBS forecasts indicating that traditional DRAM manufacturers (such as Micron) could see gross margins reach an unprecedented 95% by 2027, potentially even surpassing the gross margin levels of HBM products. Additionally, SanDisk's long-term agreements already cover approximately two-thirds of its 2028 production capacity, with minimum contracted revenue reaching $93 billion. Given its current market cap of around $239 billion, this suggests its future revenue targets could persist for years, making it difficult to simply classify the company as a traditional cyclical stock.On the cloud computing infrastructure front, CoreWeave has signed agreements to use Nvidia A100 GPUs through 2029. This is a positive development for emerging cloud computing companies such as Nebius and Iren, and it also weakens some investors' bearish thesis centered on the rapid depreciation of older GPUs.AI model companies are also continuing to grow at a pace that exceeds expectations. Frontier AI labs are still maintaining extremely rapid growth rates, and a slowdown in growth would actually be a cause for concern. The market projects that Anthropic's 2028 revenue could reach $190 billion to $200 billion.However, advanced packaging and semiconductor infrastructure remain core bottlenecks. The head of advanced packaging at TSMC has stated that in the coming years, the industry may face not only memory shortages but also tight supply of ABF substrates.Serenity concluded that the AI infrastructure supply chain is continuously expanding. From GPUs, storage, and advanced packaging to power, optical communications, and electronic components, every segment is showing a long-term demand growth trend. The AI supply chain is still in a high-speed development stage.
Odaily News: Shaw posted on X platform, stating that daos.fun founder baoskee used insider information to trade during the ai16z project rename and migration process, profiting approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw claimed that in June 2025, the project team promised to launch a Snapshot vote for the community to decide whether to rename, after a16z had previously requested the project to change its name to avoid trademark disputes. When the voting mechanism was not launched on time as promised, baoskee, knowing about the rename pressure and subsequent migration plans, sold all ai16z from daos.fun's execution wallet and continued to dump tokens before the project migrated to elizaOS, causing the token price to drop. Shaw believes baoskee possessed information that other holders did not have at the time. Baoskee denied the allegations in response, stating that the Snapshot vote had actually been launched, and that daos.fun had additionally added and locked in over $1 million in ai16z liquidity at its own expense. Baoskee also counter-accused Shaw of serious issues in project operations, token migration, and development fund usage. There is a clear discrepancy between the two parties' statements. Shaw stated he would attach relevant on-chain records.
: Digital asset firm Galaxy Digital has lowered the probability of the CLARITY Act passing this year from 75% in May to 10%. The bill proposes that two U.S. federal regulatory agencies each oversee crypto asset regulation separately. U.S. Senators will return to Washington on September 14, followed by a working period of approximately three weeks. According to the Senate schedule, the motion to invoke cloture to advance the bill will be eligible for a vote at 2:15 PM on September 15. The motion requires the support of at least 60 senators. Republicans currently control 53 seats; if all Republican senators support the bill, support from at least 7 senators from other parties would still be needed. Galaxy Digital stated that unresolved ethics concerns, declining Republican support due to banking lobbying, and the shorter legislative window in September constitute the main obstacles to the bill's passage this year.

Odaily News: The BIP-110 fork branched off from the Bitcoin mainnet at block height 961,632 on August 8. Since then, the Roughnecks mining pool has mined only 4 blocks in 7 days, with on-chain progress stalled at block 961,635. BIP-110 supporters plan to switch the proof-of-work hash function from SHA-256 to Blake2b as early as September. The related development requires adjustments to block header validation, as well as upgrades to mining pools, wallets, block explorers, and indexing tools. The fork coin has not yet received support from trading platforms and currently has no market price, with over 400,000 transfers awaiting confirmation. Due to the lack of replay protection, a large number of these transfers were unintentionally generated by users. Tokens mined by Roughnecks require 100 confirmations before they can be used.

Odaily News: Bank Leumi, Israel's largest and oldest commercial bank, has announced a partnership with cryptocurrency company Galaxy Digital, planning to launch Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana trading services on the Leumi Trade investment app and mobile banking platform PEPPER in early 2027, subject to approval from the Bank of Israel. Customers will be able to buy, hold, and sell related crypto assets through their bank accounts, without needing to open accounts on separate exchanges or use personal wallets. Galaxy Digital will provide institutional trading platforms and custody infrastructure, while Bank Leumi intends to operate under a white-label model where customers do not hold private keys. Bank Leumi previously announced a partnership with Paxos in 2022 to offer crypto trading services, but it did not receive regulatory approval. Fees, trading limits, the asset list, and external wallet withdrawal rules for this service have not yet been disclosed, and custodied crypto assets do not enjoy the same deposit insurance coverage as shekel deposits.

Odaily News: Analyst Killa stated on platform X that his spot positions are fully loaded, and he has been holding a Bitcoin swing long position with 2x leverage since $62,600, while also deploying a 10x leverage long strategy in batches across sub-accounts. Bitcoin has already retraced 54%, and based on mathematical calculations, he believes the maximum drawdown could range from 65% to 68%. The strategy sets up three 10x leverage long orders with entry prices of $62,600, $57,100, and $51,600, corresponding to liquidation prices of $57,100, $51,600, and $46,100 respectively, with $10,000 margin used for each group. If Bitcoin reaches $126,000, the three long orders are expected to yield profits of $101,300, $120,700, and $144,200 respectively. Killa stated that he actually split this strategy into 4 to 5 entries, and if the first two groups of long orders get liquidated, the profits from the final group of long orders can cover the related losses.
