Alliance Lianchuang: Base and Robinhood May Target Different Markets for Development, Rather Than Engaging in Zero-Sum Competition
Alliance co-founder Imran Khan stated that the crypto market may become segmented, and Base has not truly "failed." He believes Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev is better suited for targeting retail and speculative trading users, understanding their trading preferences, and building high-retention products; whereas Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has long championed the Bitcoin and crypto financial freedom ethos, making him more suitable for developing on-chain financial infrastructure, such as payments, custody, institutional access, stablecoin payments, and on-chain business applications for startups.

Alliance Co-founder: Public chains will no longer matter to most users; user stickiness will shift to products that own user relationships
Odaily News, Imran Khan posted on X, stating that for most users, the public chain itself will become secondary; what matters is the upper-layer products that serve end users. Launch platforms are being commoditized, and platforms with the deepest network effects or those that carve out niche markets through differentiation are more likely to win—such as stock trading pairs. On-chain frontends, lending, swap routing, cross-chain bridges, and most trading infrastructure are eroding single-platform stickiness and community identity. User stickiness will shift to the party that owns the user relationship.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: AI Will Create Hundreds of Thousands of New Jobs, Driving Explosive Growth in Demand for Skilled Trades Workers
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.

Alliance Co-founder: Decentralized Social Graph Isn't the Core Value That Attracts Users to Farcaster—Social Trading Could Be the Direction
Odaily News: Imran, co-founder of Alliance, stated on X that Farcaster is a valuable infrastructure and application experiment, but a decentralized social graph alone is insufficient to attract users away from traditional social platforms like X.He believes the direction truly worth focusing on is social trading—integrating new token discovery, speculative trading, and PnL reputation into a native product loop, a model that is currently difficult for traditional social platforms like X and Instagram to replicate. Additionally, Imran summarized this product evolution path as MetaMask → Phantom → Farcaster → Moonshot → Vector → Fomo/Pump, noting that each generation of products further reveals what crypto users genuinely care about.Previously, Neynar co-founder Rish Mukherji posted on X that the team has initiated a process to find new ownership or operational teams for Farcaster, Clanker, and Neynar.

Odaily News, Alliance co-founder Imran stated on X that the competition between Pump and Fomo could become a major driving force in bringing onchain finance into the mainstream market. The rivalry between the two platforms will push onchain finance from a niche segment of the current Crypto Twitter ecosystem into a product for mass consumers.Imran also noted that with the growth of trading-focused content creators, as well as the rise of trading-related content such as Market Bubble and Counterparty, the onchain finance industry could expand by at least an order of magnitude in the future.Previous report: pump.fun is attracting users to migrate from the FOMO platform to its application through an incentive program.

One week after the NVIDIA-led AI Safety Alliance OSAA was established, it has already gathered over 120 companies.
According to TechCrunch, the Open Safety AI Alliance (OSAA), led by Nvidia, has exceeded 120 member companies just one week after its establishment, including tech and financial giants such as Adobe, BlackRock, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, and Visa. During the Black Hat Cybersecurity Conference held in Las Vegas this week, the alliance established a working group named "Shared AI Findings Exchange" (SAFE) and has submitted multiple proposals open for public comment, managed by the Linux Foundation. The proposals cover confidential reporting mechanisms for AI cybersecurity incidents, alert processes for affected parties, and no-fault attribution analysis frameworks. Meanwhile, member companies are also actively contributing open-source technologies: Nvidia open-sourced the LLM vulnerability scanning tool Garak, Amazon contributed the agent building tool Strands Agents and authorization language Cedar, and Okta and Red Hat are advancing agent identity authentication and governance technologies respectively. Notably, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have not yet joined the alliance, although OpenAI and Google previously co-signed the open letter that spurred the creation of the alliance.

Korea Launches AIDC Alliance, Plans to Build 18.4GW AI Data Center Infrastructure
Odaily News The Ministry of Science and ICT and other relevant government agencies, together with industry players, established the AIDC Alliance on July 29, with plans to cultivate Korea's AI data center ecosystem as a national strategic industry. The initiative includes building 18.4GW of AIDC infrastructure, cross-ministerial financial support, and the formation of a working group to promote packaged exports for global industrialization. Morgan Stanley recently defined AI infrastructure as a system comprising seven value chain segments: semiconductor processes, NPUs, CXL and memory server components, server integration, networking, internal power and liquid cooling, and external power and grid infrastructure. The Korean proposal suggests placing government-funded research institutions at the center of AIDC full-stack technology development and comprehensive pilot projects, with organizations such as KIST, ETRI, KISTI, KIMM, KERI, and KIER covering areas including semiconductors, AI chips, supercomputing, liquid cooling, power grids, and distributed power generation. The proposal also recommends designating the "K-AIDC Full-Stack Integrated Pilot Project" as the first national strategic research task following the abolition of the PBS system, aiming to develop a liquid-cooled, NPU-integrated, grid-connected modular AIDC reference system with over 50% domestic NPU adoption within three years, while establishing a nationally certified pilot center.

El Salvador 2027 General Election Opposition Candidate Emerges, Bukele's Bitcoin Strategy Faces Political Test
According to BeInCrypto, El Salvador's two major opposition parties have officially nominated candidates for the February 2027 presidential election: the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) nominated former legislator Maytee Iraheta, while the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) nominated doctor and union leader Rafael Aguirre. Both candidates clearly oppose Bukele's Bitcoin strategy, characterizing it as a fiscal failure. However, Bukele's approval rating remains as high as 94%, and his New Ideas party has also completed nominations, holding a clear advantage for re-election. It is worth noting that El Salvador revoked Bitcoin's legal tender status in February 2025 after reaching a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF, restoring the US dollar as the sole official currency, but the government still maintains the plan to purchase approximately 1 Bitcoin per day, with holdings reaching approximately 7,730 BTC as of July 27.
