According to a post by Lorenzo Valente, a cryptocurrency analyst at ARK Invest, stablecoins exhibit clear network effects. Although thousands of stablecoins exist in the market, the number of tiers quickly plateaus as the market capitalization threshold rises. What truly warrants attention today are stablecoins with a market cap exceeding $10 billion, steadily progressing toward the $100 billion and $500 billion levels.

Odaily News – Andy, host of The Rollup podcast, stated on X: "We have received fairly reliable information that Ark Invest, founded by Cathie Wood, will become one of the first asset managers to launch tokenized securities through a transfer agent under the SEC's 'Innovation Exemption' policy. The plan will start with Ark's funds and then expand further. Several institutions, including Fidelity and WisdomTree, are also likely to follow suit."

ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated that the August nonfarm payroll data shows the U.S. economy remains highly resilient. The market may interpret the strong employment figures as rising inflation pressures and further bet on Federal Reserve tightening policies, but it is overlooking more critical shifts. Although headline U.S. inflation remains at 3.7%, other inflation indicators have moved closer to 2%, and oil prices could even fall to around $30 per barrel.

Odaily News According to ARK Invest Digital Asset Research Head Lorenzo Valente, who shared on X platform, after analyzing contract-level data on Robinhood Chain, he believes that the current on-chain active trading mainly comes from existing crypto trading users, not the large-scale influx of new crypto users brought by Robinhood.Valente stated that Robinhood Wallet's Swap routes through the 0x Settler contract, which is currently the only on-chain activity he can clearly identify as Robinhood user activity, accounting for less than 1% of total transactions. Even when including some unidentifiable long-tail activity in the calculation, his estimate is only around 5%. The remaining trading activity mainly comes from trading terminals such as GMGN, Axiom, and OKX.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Lorenzo Valente, Head of Digital Asset Research at investment firm ARK Invest, stated that Hyperliquid is in discussions with the CFTC and SEC to facilitate the offering of perpetual futures on its public chain by U.S.-regulated companies. He suggested that Hyperliquid acquire Gemini to position it as a U.S.-regulated HIP-3/4 deployer. He noted that Gemini's current market value is approximately $450 million, representing a decline of over 85% from its $3.3 billion valuation at the time of its 2025 IPO. Hyperliquid could obtain Gemini's entire U.S. regulatory infrastructure—including the NYDFS Trust Charter, DCM, DCO, FCM, MTLs, and Broker-dealer—for approximately $450 million.He further proposed that Hyperliquid could use approximately 7.9 million HYPE tokens from its community reserve, valued at around $550 million at $70 per token, to complete the acquisition at a premium of roughly 20% over Gemini's current market value. Following the transaction, Gemini would handle KYC, custody, fiat on/off ramps, brokerage, clearing, and compliance for the U.S. market, while Hyperliquid L1 would provide the underlying market infrastructure, liquidity, and on-chain settlement. He cited Polymarket's acquisition of QCEX as a similar precedent for re-entering the U.S. market, and stated that the core of this potential deal is not acquiring an exchange, but rather securing the regulatory bridge for HIP-3/4 to enter the U.S. market.

Odaily News According to Lorenzo Valente, Head of Digital Asset Research at investment firm ARK Invest, trading venues dedicated to Real World Assets (RWA) can scale with minimal reliance on Bitcoin and Ethereum liquidity, driving RWA liquidity to diverge by asset class.On July 23, Valente stated that DeFi is entering a new phase. Data shows that RWA accounts for 54% of Hyperliquid's weekly trading volume, with individual stocks representing 61% of that RWA volume; decentralized exchanges recorded $79 billion in perpetual futures trading volume during the same period, with Hyperliquid accounting for $50 billion of that total.Valente believes that if Trade.xyz accounts for 90% of Hyperliquid's trading volume, it could demand a higher share of user fees. Most popular applications will continue to rely on shared infrastructure, and only when the cost of operating independently exceeds the value of the liquidity, users, and security they rent will they consider building their own chain.

Odaily News, ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated that AI Token prices are declining sharply, but usage is growing rapidly. As productivity and intelligence levels rise, market demand for AI demonstrates enormous price elasticity, and a virtuous cycle is forming that is still in its early stages.According to her reposted content, the average cost of LLM Tokens has dropped from $2.07 per million tokens on May 28 to approximately $1.02, mainly driven by price cuts on OpenAI models as well as the emergence of new open-source models like Kimi and DeepSeek, whose prices are typically only a fraction of those of closed-source models.

According to BeInCrypto, ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood recently expressed a view that overturns the market's traditional perception of open-source AI. She pointed out that the capabilities of open-source models such as Meta, Mistral, and DeepSeek are continuously enhancing, which instead expands the cybersecurity attack surface, forcing enterprises to continuously procure frontier AI as a defense layer, thereby driving revenue growth for OpenAI and Anthropic rather than harming them. Data from the UK AI Safety Institute shows that the cyber attack capabilities of open-source models have caught up to the level of frontier models from 4 to 7 months ago. Wood named OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceXAI as the three companies most likely to capture the bulk of AI model revenue; ARK currently holds positions in all three companies. Currently, Anthropic has already submitted an S-1 filing at a valuation of nearly $1 trillion, and OpenAI is expected to go public in September 2026.

Odaily News, ARK Invest Founder Cathie Wood stated on the X platform that US corporate pre-tax profits as a percentage of GDP have reached 13.2%, a level not seen in decades.Wood noted that the massive monetary and fiscal stimulus during the pandemic drove rapid profit growth, but the factors supporting current profit levels are shifting. She believes that more companies are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and productivity-enhancing tools to optimize operations and protect profit margins.She stated that the market is still in the early stages of observing AI's impact on corporate earnings, and companies that can effectively apply AI to boost efficiency will further widen the gap with those unable to adapt to technological change.Wood said that AI-driven productivity gains could become a key driver of sustained corporate profit growth, with the impact expected to gradually materialize over the coming years.

Odaily News, ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood stated that while the recent U.S. employment report appears concerning on the surface, deeper economic trends are shifting. Productivity gains, the expanding application of AI, and potential deflationary pressures could become the main market themes moving forward.Wood noted that the U.S. federal deficit as a percentage of GDP is currently around 5.6%, approaching levels seen during the Reagan era in the 1980s. She believes that if productivity and technology adoption continue to accelerate as ARK anticipates, that ratio could fall to about 5% by year-end, although most economic forecasters view this target as difficult to achieve.On inflation, Wood believes the market is underestimating deflationary risks. She noted that recent inflation data has consistently come in below expectations, with the June CPI falling 0.4% month-over-month, PPI down 0.3% month-over-month, and core PCE rising just 0.1% month-over-month. She argues that companies that fail to adopt AI and productivity tools may face greater pricing pressure and competitive risks in the future.Wood is also bullish on the U.S. dollar. ARK's data model based on Kalshi prediction markets suggests the dollar index could rise to 102.6 this year. She pushed back against the view that "overseas capital is selling off U.S. assets," pointing out that Japan's recent currency market intervention primarily involved selling euros and buying yen, rather than selling dollars.In energy markets, Wood believes a global crude oil supply glut is taking shape. She noted that the UAE's production has risen to historic highs after leaving OPEC, and further downside in oil prices could act as a deflationary driver for the global economy.Regarding the AI investment boom, Wood said concerns about an AI bubble are overblown, and the current growth in capital expenditure likely represents the early stage of a long-term technological revolution rather than a short-term speculative cycle.In the crypto asset space, Wood said Bitcoin's performance relative to gold is stabilizing, and believes that as the "agentic commerce" economy develops, Bitcoin and stablecoins could become the biggest beneficiaries.

According to Cryptopolitan, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to enter recess on August 7, leaving an extremely limited window for the CLARITY Act to pass before then. If voting is not completed this week, the next feasible window will be delayed until September, and if missed again, it could be postponed until after the midterm elections, meaning enactment may not occur until 2027. The main disagreement over the bill currently lies in the Democrats' insistence on adding crypto ethics clauses for senior government officials, but the consolidated draft has not yet incorporated relevant provisions. During the regulatory vacuum, large institutions such as Coinbase and Circle are better equipped to adapt to the uncertain environment due to their capital strength—ARK Invest increased its holdings in both companies this week, and Circle was approved for a federal national trust bank charter in July—while small and medium-sized crypto enterprises and DeFi projects continue to face pressure. In terms of the market, Polymarket data shows that the probability of the CLARITY Act passing within 2026 has dropped to 23%, a significant decline from Galaxy Research's prediction of 67%–75% in mid-May.

According to Cointelegraph, ARK Invest researcher Lorenzo Valente noted in a post on July 30 that the cryptocurrency industry is entering the largest consolidation phase in history. As investors become increasingly strict in screening projects, revenue is accelerating towards concentration among a few top protocols—Hyperliquid and Pump.fun collectively account for approximately 67% of the industry's application revenue, and with Ethena included, the combined share of the top three approaches 80%. Valente expects this trend to accelerate in the coming months, triggering more M&A, bankruptcies, and project closures. Meanwhile, BitMEX and BitMart recently announced the shutdown of trading services in succession, further confirming the consolidation trend. Valente believes that this round of consolidation is "extremely beneficial" for the long-term development of the crypto industry.
