“White-Haired Stock Guru” Serenity Summarizes Investment Stereotypes Across Different Markets: US Favors Future Narratives, Europe Focuses More on Resource Constraints
“White-Haired Stock Guru” Serenity posted a summary of the regional market style differences observed on X:1. USA: Bullish on all “futuristic” narratives, such as targets like $SPCX. Less sensitive to valuations, more focused on potential and imagination.2. Europe: From SIVE to SOI, attention to AI infrastructure construction is relatively weak. The time frame leans toward performance over the past 12 months (specifically noting that Belgium has performed decently, while observing France and Sweden).3. South Korea: High-leverage “Degen” style with extremely volatile markets, similar to the intense fluctuation structure of “50x Hyperliquid traders entering the stock market.”4. Japan: Generally mild and supportive, with fewer aggressive short-selling or bearish expressions.Serenity added that data on other regions such as Latin America is still insufficient, but observations will continue in the future.

Hawkins County Commissioners in Tennessee, USA, have passed a ban with a vote of 12 in favor and 0 against, prohibiting the establishment, construction, installation, expansion, and operation of crypto mining facilities and data centers in the county's unincorporated areas. The commission had previously passed a similar ban in September 2025 to prevent digital asset company ExoticRidge from conducting mining operations locally, and confirmed its relevant authority through a resolution in January. ExoticRidge and Hawkins County officials proposed a settlement in January that would allow the company to build and operate facilities under noise restrictions. The proposed terms require that A-weighted decibel noise at the property boundary must not exceed 80 decibels for more than 30 minutes within any 4-hour period. A law signed in Tennessee in April has already stipulated that, effective July 1, the use and installation of cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks will be illegal, with the restrictions targeting incidents where residents use the devices to transfer funds to scammers.
Aave Founder: CLARITY Act Nears Final Passage, DeFi Set for Regulatory Milestone
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).

A crypto investor from South Dakota, USA, faces 29 charges for an alleged $20 million fraud scheme
U.S. prosecutors have disclosed that a federal grand jury has indicted Benjamin Paul Wiener, a crypto investor from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on 29 criminal charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft, involving approximately $20 million.According to the indictment, Wiener, 43, is accused of inducing investors, through false statements, to invest funds and digital assets into multiple companies under his control, with victims spanning South Dakota and Minnesota and involving dozens of investors. Prosecutors allege that after obtaining the funds, Wiener transferred assets through banks and cryptocurrency exchanges to conceal the source, ownership, and control of the funds, and used part of the money for personal expenses.Prosecutors further allege that when cash flow became tight or investors demanded redemptions, Wiener would recruit new investors and use the incoming funds to repay earlier investors, with the operation resembling a Ponzi scheme. It is reported that he utilized eight companies, including multiple LLCs, to carry out these activities.Additionally, Wiener is accused of fabricating documents and communication records in April 2025, and using another person's identity to fraudulently obtain a $1 million line of credit from a financial institution in Sioux Falls.Wiener appeared in court on July 10 and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He was released after posting bail. The trial is expected to begin on September 15. Under U.S. law, wire fraud and money laundering carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, bank fraud carries a maximum of 30 years, and aggravated identity theft carries a mandatory consecutive sentence of at least two years. The IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are jointly investigating the case. (The Block)

Nodes subsequently reorganized to the Foundry USA version, causing the blocks mined by Antpool and ViaBTC to become orphaned. The affected miners lost the corresponding block rewards and fees, and transactions not confirmed on the winning chain re-entered the mempool to be confirmed in subsequent blocks.

Bitcoin mining pool Poolin files for bankruptcy protection, plans to sell Texas mining assets for $52 million
Bitcoin mining pool Poolin has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a US court and plans to cease operations by selling its Bitcoin mining assets in Texas, USA. According to court documents, Poolin and its two US affiliates, Lonestar Dream Inc. and Lonestar Taproot LLC, filed for voluntary bankruptcy on July 22 with the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. Poolin currently estimates it has between 10,000 and 25,000 creditors, with assets ranging from approximately $1 million to $10 million and liabilities between approximately $100 million and $500 million.Michael DuFrayne, Poolin's Chief Restructuring Officer, stated that the company's pre-bankruptcy debt amounts to approximately $173.1 million, of which about $163.7 million consists of unsecured IOU debts issued to Poolin Wallet users following the suspension of withdrawals during the crypto market crash in 2022.This Chapter 11 process is not intended to reorganize the business but to facilitate the sale of assets under court supervision. Poolin's Pyote and Tarbush mining sites in Texas ceased mining and hosting operations on July 10, retaining only a small number of employees to maintain the assets and advance the sale process.Currently, Poolin has entered into an asset purchase agreement with Thor CALAP LLC, which has proposed to acquire the related mining assets for $52 million. This includes: $15 million for the Pyote site, along with associated power rights and equipment; and $37 million for the power rights and equipment at the Tarbush site. This offer will serve as a "stalking horse bid" in the bankruptcy auction, setting a minimum price for subsequent bids. The transaction remains subject to higher offers and court approval.
