Luxor Pool's Jiang Zhuo'er: ETH Will Outperform BTC This Cycle, Already Attempting to Test the Top at $2525
Looking ahead, Jiang Zhuo'er believes the probability of the bear market ending has reached 90%. He plans to immediately go all-in if BTC pulls back to the $67,000–$72,000 range; otherwise, he will complete the remaining position at current prices no later than the end of October. He is also bullish on ETH's relative outperformance against BTC in this cycle, viewing the large-scale tokenization and on-chain adoption of U.S. financial assets as the core driving force.
Morgan Stanley: Cloud Giants' Growth Rate Surges to 48%, DDOG and Others Face Test of High Expectations
According to TechFlow Research, Morgan Stanley's research report on August 6 pointed out that the combined growth rate of the three major cloud vendors in Q2 jumped from 39% to 48%, accelerating for five consecutive quarters. AWS grew 37% (fastest in 18 quarters), Azure increased 43%, and Google Cloud increased 82%. AWS's AI annualized revenue has exceeded $25 billion, with triple-digit growth. Azure's PostgreSQL revenue increased 55% (accelerating for three consecutive quarters), and Fabric paying customers exceeded 40,000, up 60%. Morgan Stanley believes AI consumption is driving core infrastructure demand, creating a positive backdrop for DDOG, SNOW, and MDB. However, expectations are also rising simultaneously. Market expectations for DDOG's Q2 growth rate are 35% to 36%, with valuation corresponding to approximately 69 times 2028 FCF; any signal below expectations could be amplified. Most of SNOW's consumption comes from AWS, and cloud acceleration is a positive signal for product revenue. MDB is unlikely to see an AI inflection point in the short term, but competitive pressure is increasing. Morgan Stanley maintains an Overweight rating on all three companies, with target prices of $300, $300, and $380 respectively. Whether demand exists no longer needs verification; the question the market needs to ask is whether demand is good enough to support current valuations.
AI Investment Boom Faces Key Test: SK Hynix’s US Listing Could Be a Major Barometer
South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix is set to list on the Nasdaq this Friday, becoming another highly anticipated large-cap tech company to debut in the US, following SpaceX. It is reported that SK Hynix plans to raise approximately $28 billion through an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) offering. As one of Nvidia's key suppliers, SK Hynix primarily produces High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), DRAM, and NAND flash products, with its business benefiting from the growing storage demand driven by the expansion of AI infrastructure.Market analysts believe that SK Hynix's US listing will serve as a crucial test of investor appetite for the next wave of AI technology IPOs. Over the past 12 months, its shares listed in South Korea have surged approximately 770%, outperforming rival Micron Technology's roughly 700% gain during the same period. SK Hynix's listing reflects the AI industry's investment fever spreading from large-scale models and computing chips to the storage and semiconductor supply chain. The market expects the second half of 2026 could see more waves of major IPOs from AI and tech companies. (Fortune)
Bank of America Completes USDC Stablecoin Cross-Border Payment Test, Exploring Broader Commercial Applications
According to CoinDesk, U.S. Bank, the fifth-largest commercial bank in the United States, announced that it has completed a cross-border real-time payment using its self-developed US dollar stablecoin, USBDC. The transaction was executed between entities in North America and Europe via the Stellar blockchain. This test covered USBDC’s minting, redemption, freezing, and recall functions, while also verifying the compatibility of the bank's internally developed Digital Asset Platform with its financial, compliance, and risk control systems. U.S. Bank stated that it is exploring the application of USBDC in scenarios such as cross-border financial operations, liquidity management, and collateral transfers, though it has not yet disclosed a timeline for customer rollout. Previously, 21 financial institutions including Bank of America, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs announced plans to jointly issue a stablecoin, while several European banks have formed the Qivalis alliance to issue a euro stablecoin, indicating an increasingly clear trend of banks entering the stablecoin sector.
Anthropic Refuses to Grant UK AI Safety Agency Access to Test Latest Models
According to Sina Finance, Anthropic has refused to submit its latest model, Claude Mythos 5.1, to the UK Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) for testing prior to release, restricting access solely to vetted U.S. institutions. This move has raised concerns within Whitehall and at AISI itself, with UK national security officials worried it could set a precedent that prevents AISI from accessing cutting-edge models in the future. Analysts point out that this action may be tied to the U.S. government's increasingly stringent export control policies regarding the AI industry—the U.S. government had previously implemented export controls on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models, banning their use by foreign nationals. Anthropic declined to comment, stating only that it is "coordinating with the U.S. government to promptly expand model accessibility for more domestic and international partners."

HTX DeepThink: Employment Resilience Weakens the Case for Pausing Rate Hikes, CPI Becomes the First Stress Test of the New Policy Framework
Chloe, columnist for HTX DeepThink and researcher at HTX Research, noted that August non-farm payrolls rose by 162,000, significantly beating expectations, while the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, largely eroding the trading narrative that a sharp jobs decline would force the Fed to pause. Market attention has now turned to this week's CPI: robust employment does not obligate the Fed to raise rates, but it affords it greater policy flexibility. With Warsh declining to precommit at Jackson Hole, this week's inflation figures will act as the first genuine stress test for the new policy framework. Should core CPI fail to register a convincing pullback, staying the course may damage the Fed’s credibility in tackling inflation.
Bank of Russia Adds Financial Knowledge Test, Eases Qualified Investor Requirements
Odaily News – The Bank of Russia has announced that individuals who pass a financial and banking knowledge test and obtain a Qualifin Certificate issued by the National Finance Association (NFA) or an Investor Certificate from the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) may be recognized as qualified investors by brokers or management companies.The new rules will take effect on August 31. Previously, the Bank of Russia only recognized international certifications in fields such as financial analysis, investment advisory, asset management, and risk management.Under recently adopted cryptocurrency regulations, non-qualified investors are subject to an annual cap of 300,000 rubles (approximately $3,800) for purchasing cryptocurrencies through a single licensed intermediary, while qualified investors have a limit ten times higher. Bank of Russia Deputy Governor Mikhail Mamuta stated that the test focuses on enhancing investors' financial knowledge, enabling them to understand and manage associated risks before trading complex instruments.

Korea Plans to Open Virtual Asset Accounts to Around 3,500 Companies; Central Bank to Test AI Agent Deposit Tokens in Late 2026
Odaily News – Andrew Park, CEO of Factblock and organizer of Korea Blockchain Week, stated that Korea's crypto market is shifting from retail-trading-driven dynamics toward institutional digital finance. The focus of global financial institutions and enterprises has moved from tokens, exchanges, and prices to custody, tokenization, stablecoins, payment and settlement infrastructure, and regulatory compliance.The Financial Services Commission of Korea has proposed a framework to open corporate virtual asset accounts to approximately 3,500 listed companies and registered professional investors. The National Assembly has officially passed amendments to the Electronic Securities Act and the Capital Markets Act, bringing tokenized real-world assets and security tokens under a unified legal framework.The Bank of Korea has completed the initial trial of Project Hangang, a real-world deposit token initiative, and plans to conduct second-phase institutional testing in late 2026. Related technical experiments have used wholesale deposit tokens to enable AI agents to execute automated conditional transactions. (Bitcoin.com News)
Analyst: Kraken May Become One of the First Centralized Exchanges to Test Hyperliquid's HIP-3 Compliant Deployment
Odaily News, Blockworks analyst Shaunda Devens stated on the X platform that Kraken may be testing Hyperliquid's HIP-3 (Builder-Deployed Perpetuals) new compliant deployment feature, potentially becoming one of the first centralized exchanges to explore this mechanism. BlockworksData shows that a deployer named "Kraken HIP-3 test DEX" has enabled permission management functionality (Star gating) on the Hyperliquid testnet and went live for testing on August 19. Currently, this test DEX has completed whitelist settings for 10 wallets, tested 3 of the 5 compliance control features, and registered a "Kraken Exchange Validator."Shaunda Devens noted that Hyperliquid has been continuously adding testnet features to support regulatory-compliant HIP-3 deployments, including whitelist management, canceling user orders, closing positions via reduce-only orders, and moving collateral. These capabilities are similar to the risk control mechanisms required by traditional financial institutions' compliant trading platforms.Although this is still in the testing phase, and any user could deploy a test DEX with a similar name, making it impossible to confirm it definitively belongs to Kraken, combined with Hyperliquid's recent expansion of xStocks functionality and Kraken's parent company Payward's involvement in related business initiatives, analysts believe Kraken may be testing HyperCore's new infrastructure targeting institutional and compliant markets.HIP-3 is a third-party deployed perpetual contract market framework introduced by Hyperliquid, allowing eligible developers to create independent perpetual trading markets on HyperCore's order book infrastructure. It is considered a key upgrade direction for Hyperliquid to expand into traditional assets and institutional trading scenarios. If large compliant exchanges like Kraken enter the HIP-3 ecosystem, it could further drive the integration of on-chain derivatives markets with traditional financial trading systems.
Optimism governance vote sparks controversy: 5.469 million OP tokens redirected from user airdrop to ecosystem fund
an Optimism community governance proposal has been passed, reallocating 546.9 million OP tokens originally intended for user airdrops to the "Strategic Ecosystem Fund" managed by the Optimism Foundation, sparking discussions within the community over governance transparency and user rights.The OP tokens involved in this proposal account for approximately 12.7% of the total supply, valued at around $49.7 million at current prices. The Optimism Foundation stated that as the ecosystem strategy shifts toward institutional adoption and enterprise partnerships, large-scale user airdrops no longer fully align with the current development direction, and unused tokens can be deployed for ecosystem incentives, partnership building, and enterprise-level project expansion.The vote ultimately passed with 17.974 million OP in favor and 10.931 million OP against. The pivotal turning point came 16 minutes and 52 seconds before the vote closed, when Test in Prod (delegate.testinprod-io.eth), the core development team of the Optimism ecosystem, cast 8.486 million OP in support, raising the approval ratio from 45.77% to 61.84% and ultimately pushing the proposal through.Excluding Test in Prod's vote, the proposal's support rate would stand at only 46.47%, failing to pass, and the relevant tokens would likely have remained in the user allocation pool. The Optimism Foundation previously committed to disclosing the cumulative usage of the fund and related outcomes through annual budget reports. This vote has also reignited discussions about the influence of "large delegated voting power" in DAO governance and the balance of token holder rights. (CoinDesk)

Arthur Hayes: Rising Oil Prices, AI-Related IPOs, and Trump's Anti-AI Rhetoric Could Pop the AI Bubble and Drag Down the Crypto Market
Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
Analyst: Coinbase Faces Critical Support Test Next Week; Holding Above $141 Could Trigger a Rally to $185
Crypto analyst Ali posted on X, stating that Coinbase will face a critical technical test next week. If it holds above $141, it could trigger a rebound and potentially rally toward $185; however, if it breaks below this key support level, further downside risk looms, with a potential target near $74. Meanwhile, analyst Hussein Kashmar noted that the weekly support level at $145 is also highly significant—this zone has historically attracted strong buying interest. Market participants are now watching closely to see whether bulls can successfully defend this current support area. Should buying pressure fail to materialize effectively, Coinbase may retreat further into the prior breakout range of $100–$115.

DeFiLlama Founder Questions Apple App Store Review Mechanism: Complaints About Fake App Went Unresolved for Months, Team Had to "Test Theft Themselves" Before It Was Removed
Odaily News: DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi has raised questions about Apple's App Store review mechanism in a post on the X platform. He stated that his team had spent months trying to get Apple to remove a fake DeFiLlama app, but multiple previous complaints regarding trademark infringement and impersonation of the official app were not effectively addressed.In the end, the DeFiLlama team had to download and use the fake app, subsequently depositing a small amount of funds into it. As expected, the wallet assets were stolen, confirming the app's malicious behavior. After submitting another report to Apple with this evidence, the fake app was finally removed within a few days.
US Department of Commerce Evaluates Kimi K3, Claims U.S. Still Leads, But Report Notes Test Was Not Fully Equivalent
the U.S. Department of Commerce's AI Standards and Innovation Center, in collaboration with the UK AI Safety Institute, tested the cyber attack capabilities of Kimi K3, emphasizing that "the United States still leads."However, the value of the evaluation is debated due to limitations in the testing scope. Due to hosting environment constraints, Kimi K3 only participated in partial testing, with its overall cyber capabilities estimated primarily based on 41 exploit benchmarks. In contrast, other models underwent more comprehensive testing, resulting in a larger margin of error for Kimi K3's results.In the exploit testing, Kimi K3 scored approximately 32%, higher than GLM-5.2's 24%, but lower than the average of approximately 76% for leading U.S. models. In a simulated attack chain test, Kimi K3 completed an average of 17 out of 32 steps in the attack chain and successfully breached the network once in 10 attempts, while U.S. frontier models completed an average of 28.5 steps.The report notes that Kimi K3 already possesses a certain level of autonomous attack capability, and its security guardrails did not prevent the model from developing exploits or executing attacks. However, the report also emphasizes that the testing scope was limited.
OpenAI Model Breaches Test Sandbox and Infiltrates Hugging Face Production Infrastructure to Obtain Benchmark Answers
OpenAI confirmed that the unreleased GPT-5.6 Sol and another unnamed, more powerful pre-release model breached a restricted sandbox environment during ExploitGym benchmark evaluations and infiltrated Hugging Face's production infrastructure to obtain test answers.OpenAI stated that the models leveraged a zero-day vulnerability in an internal software package registry proxy to escalate privileges and move laterally, ultimately connecting to a machine with internet access. The models then identified and chained together vulnerabilities in both the OpenAI research environment and Hugging Face's production infrastructure, directly retrieving test solutions from Hugging Face's production database.Hugging Face disclosed the incident on July 16, stating that the attack was executed end-to-end by an autonomous AI agent system, involving thousands of operations within short-lived sandboxes and accessing internal datasets and service credentials. OpenAI confirmed its models were the subject of the incident five days later.Hugging Face stated that its security team, in order to analyze over 17,000 attack logs, initially attempted to use a commercial US frontier AI interface, but the request was blocked due to safety guardrails. They subsequently switched to using the 753-billion parameter open-weight model GLM 5.2 from Chinese AI startup Z.ai on their own infrastructure to complete the forensic analysis.
David Bailey: "BIP-110 Failure" Strengthens Bitcoin Resilience, Consensus Mechanism Undergoes Stress Test

SpaceX Plans to Deploy First Batch of V3 Starlink Satellites via Starship Test Flight as Early as Next Week
Odaily News: SpaceX has grand plans for Starship. If all goes according to plan, this 407-foot-tall rocket will one day be used to build an orbital AI data center network and send humans to the Moon and Mars. But first, the company plans to use Starship to send a new, improved money-making machine into space—Starlink satellites.SpaceX plans to send its first batch of V3 satellites into orbit during a critical Starship test flight mission as early as next week. Getting Starship to operate as envisioned is crucial for SpaceX and its shareholders. The company needs Starship not only to revitalize its own Starlink communications network—which contributed nearly 55% of the company's revenue in the second quarter—but also to launch satellites for a range of commercial purposes. Then perhaps its most lucrative mission: sending a futuristic orbital data center into space, which SpaceX says could help tap into a total addressable AI market worth $26.5 trillion. (Bloomberg)

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Plans to Test Blockchain Real-Time Settlement of Japanese Government Bond Transactions
According to CoinDesk, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) announced plans to utilize the Canton network to conduct a proof of concept for on-chain trading of Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) to achieve real-time 24/7 settlement, replacing the traditional settlement process requiring 1 to 3 days. MUFG stated that this move aims to enhance the operational and capital efficiency of repo transactions, noting that European and American financial institutions have already expanded proof of concept projects in this field, with JPMorgan Chase's Kinexys network having supported blockchain-based intraday US Treasury repo operations since 2020. MUFG pointed out that Japanese Government Bonds are widely used as collateral for repo transactions by domestic and international market participants due to their high credit ratings and liquidity, and the trend towards on-chain adoption is accelerating. Additionally, MUFG has previously partnered with Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMBC) and Mizuho Financial Group to explore the joint issuance of stablecoins by March 2027; this JGB on-chain settlement test is a significant component of its blockchain strategic layout.
