Odaily News Crypto analyst Murphy stated on X that on-chain data reveals a rare large-scale movement of coins by Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) recently. Over the past two days, more than 65,000 BTC have moved on-chain each day (excluding internal transfers within the same entity), leading to a notable decline in LTH net positions.Data shows that LTH net positions had begun to deviate from their previous continuous growth trend since May this year, entering a plateau in July, with the recent large-scale transfers being relatively uncommon over the past year. Among these, approximately 14,000 BTC flowed into exchanges. Some of the funds include a transaction where a company under Trump's umbrella transferred 2,628 BTC to Crypto.com.Currently, aside from the portion flowing into exchanges, the destination and purpose of the remaining coins reduced by long-term holders remain unclear. Murphy stated that potential risks currently affecting the BTC market include: 1) Shifts in Fed monetary policy and rising rate hike expectations; 2) Inflationary pressure from Middle East tensions and oil price changes; 3) Valuation concentration in the AI sector and financing risks behind high capital expenditures; 4) Re-crowding of yen carry trade positions.

: Bitgo CEO Mike Belshe deposited 100 BTC into a public Bitcoin address on August 1, worth approximately $6.3 million at the time, and invited Anthropic's Claude model to attempt to move the funds out of the address. On-chain records show the wallet received the funds on July 31, and the balance had not been transferred out as of August 2. Anthropic previously disclosed that during 141,006 cybersecurity assessment runs, 3 incidents were found, with 6 evaluation sessions involving 3 models inadvertently interacting with real organizational systems. The models involved include Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5, and an unreleased internal research model. The cause was a configuration error by third-party testing partner Irregular, which led to the test environment being connected to the internet. Anthropic stated that Claude Opus 4.7, during one evaluation, located a real website with the same name as a simulated company, exploited weak passwords and exposed services to recover infrastructure credentials, and accessed a production database containing hundreds of records. The company said the model was attempting to complete assigned tasks, not actively breaking constraints or pursuing independent goals. Belshe's challenge involves Bitgo's institutional custody platform, which uses multi-signature or multi-party computation technology to distribute signing authority across multiple independent keys. As of August 2, Anthropic had not publicly responded to the challenge.
Odaily News – ChangXin Technology has drawn significant market attention since its listing, with analysts showing stark divergence in their assessments of its future value. According to data, the most optimistic analyst believes ChangXin Technology's market capitalization could reach $1.1 trillion over the next 12 months, while the most pessimistic forecast sits at approximately $160 billion. The disagreement primarily centers on whether ChangXin Technology can capture market share in the DRAM sector and whether it can achieve breakthroughs in HBM technology.Bullish analysts argue that China's push for semiconductor self-sufficiency and the domestic DRAM supply-demand gap will help ChangXin Technology expand rapidly. Bearish analysts, on the other hand, worry that new industry capacity could drive DRAM prices down between 2027 and 2028, weighing on profitability across the entire memory sector.ChangXin Technology's stock surged 523% in its first week of trading. The market continues to monitor its progress in HBM technology, as well as whether China's domestically developed DUV lithography tools can help narrow the gap with Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.

: Multiple market analysts have stated that after the US joined Japan in intervening in the yen, shorting the yen now carries higher risks.Analysts pointed out that the joint US-Japan action has enhanced the credibility of the authorities' efforts to stabilize the yen, making it more difficult for the market to persistently bet against the currency. However, relying solely on currency intervention is unlikely to change long-term trends. Sustained yen strength will still require fundamental support, such as further policy tightening by the Bank of Japan, a decline in US yields, or an improvement in Japan's fiscal outlook. Some analysts believe that a stronger yen could put pressure on Japan's export-dependent companies and stock market, while if the intervention falls short of expectations, it could also raise concerns about further yen depreciation.

Odaily News: In the Coldcard security incident involving hardware wallet company Coinkite, the amount of stolen bitcoin has risen to approximately 1,359.882 BTC. According to statistics from the Coldcard Sweep Watch dashboard, most of the identified bitcoin remains in a small number of addresses controlled by the attacker. On August 1, one of the attacker's holding addresses received a transaction containing an OP_RETURN message. The message publicly offered a 10% fee for "washing" bitcoin, KYC assistance, and withdrawal services for stolen funds, along with a Telegram contact. Coinkite has released an urgent firmware update to fix the weak random number generation issue that caused the original vulnerability. The company stated that the new firmware only protects wallets created in the future and cannot fix seeds already generated on affected versions. Some users have reported that after installing the update, their devices remain stuck on an error screen, fail to boot, or appear bricked. This mainly affects Mk4 and Q devices, though some Mk3 users have also reported similar issues. As of August 2, Coinkite has not publicly confirmed a widespread firmware defect.
Odaily News: Analyst “AntiFragile” stated on Platform X that Bitcoin’s (BTC) order book currently shows strong buyer support, with a significant number of patient buy orders concentrated in the range 2%-20% below the current price.AntiFragile noted that these buy orders began appearing as early as early June, representing passive buying demand positioned in advance. If BTC’s price pulls back into these zones, these orders are expected to act as a buffer, reducing market volatility. The current order book structure indicates that some investors are waiting for lower entry prices rather than buying into the uptrend. These long-standing orders may serve as potential support in the event of short-term market corrections.
Odaily News On-chain analytics firm Glassnode stated that the yield on Bitcoin's three-month futures basis has remained below the yield on the U.S. two-year Treasury note since February this year, a trend that has now persisted for several months.Glassnode pointed out that there has only been one similar instance in history where the duration of this condition came close to the current one, namely the period from August 2022 to January 2023, which ultimately corresponded to the low point of the previous market cycle.The firm stated that the prolonged slump in the futures basis not only reflects weak market demand for leverage but also directly impacts the overall depth and trading volume of the market.Analysts believe that the futures basis is typically used to gauge market risk appetite and demand for arbitrage funds. When the basis yield falls below the risk-free rate, it implies that investors are earning insufficient additional returns for the risk taken by holding Bitcoin futures, which may lead to reduced capital inflows into the futures market, thereby affecting liquidity and trading activity.
Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas commented on the Coldcard wallet security incident, questioning whether a company with only about 5 employees is suitable to undertake such critical Bitcoin storage responsibilities. He stated that the number of employees behind Coldcard "seems unbelievably low," asking whether people would be willing to store their life savings in a bank with only 5 employees headquartered in Canada. In the crypto industry, this might be viewed as a feature, but from a traditional finance perspective, it becomes a clear risk signal. Balchunas further stated that, in comparison, institutions with larger teams such as Coinbase and Ledger may hold advantages in security investment and operational capabilities, even if users need to bear higher transaction costs. Bitcoin ETFs offer another option: investors can obtain the security guarantees provided by large, professional, regulated financial institutions while also enjoying lower management fees.
