The corresponding annual percentage rate (APR) is approximately 2.29%. Additionally, the protocol's oracle has been updated and passed audit. The new version will improve report processing speed and help locate the cause more quickly when similar issues arise in the future.Regarding the yield calculation anomaly that occurred yesterday, Lido stated that contributors are still conducting a root cause analysis. Further investigation details will be published on the official forum and social platforms. Throughout the entire incident, user funds were never at risk.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted on platform X, stating that now more than ever, the industry needs to build consensus and do everything possible to ensure the smooth passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act.Stani stated that although the CLARITY Act is not perfect and many details still need to be formulated by regulatory agencies in the future, the bill will become the first regulatory legislation involving decentralized finance (DeFi). It will provide a clear legal framework and regulatory certainty for institutions, fintech companies, and banks to participate in on-chain finance. Once the CLARITY Act is officially passed, its driving effect on the on-chain finance ecosystem is expected to be similar to the development opportunities the GENIUS Act previously brought to the stablecoin industry, attracting more investment and institutional capital into the on-chain space.Stani added that over the past year, and especially in recent weeks and days, the Aave team has been in close communication with relevant policymakers in Washington, D.C., USA. He stated that they have now entered the "last mile" of pushing for the bill's enactment, a phase that is critically important.
Elon Musk recently gave an interview to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, discussing topics including super-intelligent AI, politics, and AI regulation.Musk predicted that artificial intelligence would surpass the combined intelligence of all human beings within the next 5 years or so, stating that AI would then outperform humans in almost every field, except for “being human itself.” He believes AI has the potential to bring about an “unprecedented era of abundance,” allowing people to obtain almost anything they desire.Regarding AI risks, Musk reiterated his previous assessment that there is roughly a 10% to 20% probability of AI leading to human extinction. However, he noted that as the development of AI and robotics technology has become irreversible, he has accepted this reality. He described his current attitude as “enjoying the ride,” adding that even if a “pause button” existed, it might not necessarily be pushed.Musk admitted he has been “a bit too invested in politics, even a little carried away.” Nevertheless, he defended his previous work pushing for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut fiscal spending, stating that his goal was to reduce government waste and fraudulent expenditures.On AI governance, Musk suggested that major AI labs such as OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic should hold regular safety meetings to mutually assess potential risks before releasing new models. He believes that competitors are better positioned than governments to identify problems in each other's models.Additionally, Musk once again criticized OpenAI for transitioning from a non-profit organization to a closed-source for-profit company, and reiterated his dissatisfaction with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. At the same time, he praised Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, calling him “a man of great principle,” and stated that if necessary, AI companies should “put aside personal grievances and cooperate for the good of the world.”During the interview, Musk also insisted that budget cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) “did not cause any deaths” and denied related criticisms, prompting questions from the interviewer.

the race for the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is coming to an end, but the real challenges for companies are just beginning. The high cost of maintaining ongoing compliance systems may reshape the European crypto landscape. The future competitive focus in the industry is likely to shift from "who can obtain a license" to "who can afford the regulatory costs," driving companies towards scaling through mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, or partnerships with banks. As MiCA is gradually implemented and the UK's crypto regulatory framework takes shape, the European crypto industry is entering a new phase of consolidation. Insiders believe that high-standard regulatory requirements could fuel a new wave of M&A, and cooperation between crypto-native companies and traditional financial institutions will deepen further.This trend may be even more pronounced in the UK market. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is developing a new regulatory framework for crypto assets, which is expected to bring crypto businesses under the existing financial services regulatory system, subjecting them to capital, operational, and customer asset protection requirements similar to those for traditional investment firms. Steven Lightstone, a partner at Morgan Lewis in London and co-head of the global fintech team, stated that while the FCA aims to promote market competition and support new entrants, its regulatory standards will be very strict when it comes to consumer protection. Unlike the EU's standalone MiCA framework, the UK's approach will directly leverage the existing financial regulatory system to manage crypto firms.Meanwhile, increased regulatory certainty is accelerating the entry of European banks into the digital asset space. Simon Schneider, CEO of Sygnum Europe, noted that currently fewer than 20% of banks in Europe offer crypto-related services, indicating a significant market gap. The greatest value of MiCA is not just creating a new licensing system but providing legal certainty for financial institutions to enter the digital asset market. Citing Switzerland as an example, he pointed out that after the introduction of distributed ledger technology regulations, most major Swiss banks have begun offering digital asset services, a path that other parts of Europe may follow in the future. Banks are unlikely to replace crypto-native companies altogether; instead, they are more likely to rely on specialized infrastructure providers and collaborate in areas such as custody, brokerage, staking, and asset tokenization.As companies that fail to secure MiCA licenses gradually exit the European market, assets may become further concentrated among regulated entities. However, Schneider believes that self-custody models and institutional custody models will continue to coexist for the long term.Industry insiders suggest that the European crypto industry is entering a "regulatory-driven consolidation cycle."

TechFlow news, July 25, according to The Paper, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Xilin Gol League Intermediate People's Court issued a second-instance judgment maintaining the original verdict in the case involving Ma suspected of the crime of illegal business operations. This is one of a series of cases where four-party payment platforms provided fund payment and settlement services for gambling platforms. In this case, some defendants were accused of receiving commissions or rebates in the form of virtual currencies such as USDT.

The 5 individuals who were subsequently brought to justice were sentenced by the court to prison terms ranging from 3 to 6 years for the crime of illegal business operations.
