Project Overview
BeInCrypto is a news website founded in August 2018, specializing in cryptographic technology, privacy, fintech, and the Internet, among other related topics. The primary goal of the website is to bring transparency to an industry with disingenuous reporting, unlabeled sponsored articles, and paid news masquerading as honest journalism.
Cathie Wood: Open-Source AI Is Making OpenAI and Anthropic Richer
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.
Grayscale: HYPE remains undervalued compared to fintech stocks, with a current valuation of approximately 15-18 times P/E ratio.
According to BeInCrypto, Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl released a report using the "earnings per token" method to value Hyperliquid (HYPE). The report assumes Hyperliquid's 2027 earnings will be approximately $1 billion (an increase of about 20% compared to 2025), and expects the circulating supply at that time to reach 270 million to 310 million tokens, corresponding to earnings per token of approximately $3.25 to $3.75. Calculated at the current price of approximately $54, the forward P/E ratio is approximately 15 to 18 times, suggesting it still holds a valuation advantage compared to fintech stocks.
韩国加密洗钱案激增 152 倍，"换钱"手法涉案金额达 64 亿美元
据 BeInCrypto 报道，一种名为"Hwanchigi（换钱）"的跨境洗钱手法已成为韩国加密犯罪的核心方式，自 2021 年至 2025年 8 月间，该手法涉及的非法加密交易金额高达 64 亿美元，占韩国同期非法加密交易总额 71 亿美元的 90%以上。该手法通过加密货币转账将非法资金转移至境外，绕开韩国受监管的银行体系。 2026 年上半年，韩国涉虚拟资产洗钱案件达 1,214 起，较 2025 年全年仅 8 起激增 152 倍，占同期加密犯罪总量的 79.4%。USDT 是主要犯罪媒介。然而执法效率严重滞后，上半年仅逮捕 18 人，远低于 2023 年的 42 人。韩国海关同期查获非法外汇交易达 7.2 万亿韩元（约 492 亿美元），逾 90%涉案资金流经无牌渠道。
SBF Second-Instance Appeal Officially Closed, 25-Year Sentence Upheld, Supreme Court Becomes Only Way Out
According to BeInCrypto, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit officially issued the mandate in the SBF case on August 4, marking the formal conclusion of Sam Bankman-Fried's appellate proceedings. The one-page order affirmed the original verdict without providing any new reasoning, leaving his 25-year prison sentence and approximately $11 billion forfeiture order unchanged. Previously, on June 12, the panel rejected SBF's appeals on all seven counts. In the opinion, Judge Parker noted that while SBF publicly assured customers, investors, and regulators of the safety of FTX funds, he misappropriated customer funds for real estate, political donations, and personal investments. Currently, SBF's only remaining judicial recourse is to petition for a writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court within 90 days, but the Supreme Court's acceptance rate is extremely low. Additionally, SBF has separately submitted a clemency application to the Department of Justice, but Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ruben Gallego have jointly introduced a resolution opposing the granting of clemency to him.
Senator Lummis' X Account Hacked, Fake Solana Meme Coin Scam Deleted Within Five Minutes
According to BeInCrypto, the official verified X account of U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis was hacked on July 29. The account briefly posted a fake Solana Meme coin promotion post named $USA Token, featuring a pump.fun minting link. The post was deleted within approximately five minutes, accumulating around 5,600 views and 37 replies during that period. Crypto community users quickly issued warnings, and there are currently no records of financial losses. Lummis's office had not released any statement as of press time. The timing of this incident is sensitive, coinciding with the stalemate of the "Digital Asset Market Transparency Act" (CLARITY Act) championed by Lummis in Congress.
Gate Named One of the Best MiCA-Licensed Platforms in 2026, Continuously Strengthening European Compliance Advantages
according to the latest selection by BeInCrypto, Gate has been listed among the "Best MiCA-Licensed Crypto Platforms in 2026" and was recognized as "Best for Access to a Large Cryptocurrency Selection." The review noted that Gate offers a diverse digital asset ecosystem covering spot trading, futures, wealth management, and Web3 services. Leveraging its extensive asset coverage and comprehensive product suite, Gate provides European users with a more refined digital asset trading experience.With the official end of the transition period for the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the European digital asset market has fully entered an era of unified regulation. Gate Europe had previously obtained both the EU MiCA license and a Payment Institution (PI) license. These two important regulatory qualifications provide solid support for Gate Europe's operations under the European regulatory framework, further strengthening the platform's capabilities in compliant operations, risk management, and long-term development. This recognition from a well-known industry media outlet further demonstrates Gate's positive progress in advancing compliance efforts and continuously optimizing products and services in Europe over the long term. Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that the formal implementation of MiCA marks the official end of the "regulatory arbitrage" era in the European crypto industry, shifting market competition back to products, security, and user experience. His views were also republished by Cointelegraph, further reflecting the industry's widespread attention to this new era of European regulation.Currently, multiple entities under Gate have completed relevant regulatory registrations, applied for licenses, or obtained authorizations and approvals in jurisdictions including Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, the United States, Australia, and Dubai. By securing regulatory permits and registrations across multiple regions, the platform has solidified its global business foundation. Gate continues to advance its global compliance strategy and continuously improve its global compliance network, aiming to provide users with safer, more transparent, and more efficient digital asset services.
Exchange Stablecoin Reserves Shrink 20%, Binance Share Rises Against the Trend to 68.5%
According to BeInCrypto, CryptoQuant data shows that centralized exchange stablecoin reserves fell from a high of about $80 billion at the end of 2025 to about $64 billion, shrinking by about $16 billion (about 20%). Among them, Binance showed relative resilience, with its stablecoin share rising from just over 60% to 68.5%, while platforms such as Coinbase, Bybit, and OKX saw more significant reductions. Meanwhile, on-chain analysis platform Santiment detected that pessimistic sentiments such as "crypto is dead" on X and Reddit continued to intensify, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently at 46, still in the fear zone. The total stablecoin supply also fell from a high of nearly $316 billion in May to $300.89 billion, but the decline was far lower than on the exchange side, indicating that some liquidity may have shifted on-chain rather than exiting completely.
Bank of Italy Research: Stablecoin Cross-Border Remittance Costs Not Lower Than Traditional Channels
According to BeInCrypto, a field research report recently released by the Bank of Italy shows that stablecoins do not possess a systemic cost advantage in cross-border remittances. Researchers tested USDC transfers of $200 through 10 actual remittance corridors, covering routes between Italy and Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, the UAE, and Japan, with total fees ranging from 0.3% to nearly 9%, showing a significant disparity. The study found that on-chain transfers themselves accounted for an average of only 0.4% of the total cost; what truly drove up fees were steps still reliant on banks and exchanges, such as funding, currency conversion, and withdrawal. Taking the UAE-to-Italy corridor as an example, where bank transfers were unavailable and credit card funding was forced, fees alone reached as high as 3.8%. Meanwhile, transfer speeds also differed significantly due to variations in destination payment infrastructure. Instant payment systems like Brazil's Pix could complete settlement within 20 minutes, while South Africa required 1 to 2 business days, no different from traditional bank wire transfers. The report pointed out that stablecoins currently still heavily rely on the banking system they attempt to replace, and the narrative that "stablecoins are quietly replacing traditional payment rails" remains unsubstantiated.
Bitcoin Approximately 69-73 Days Away from Cycle Bottom, Analysts and Institutions Disagree on Four-Year Cycle
According to BeInCrypto, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen stated that Bitcoin is currently on day 1,363 of this cycle, while the past two cycles bottomed out on day 1,432 and day 1,436 respectively. Based on this, the bottom of this cycle is estimated to appear in October 2026, approximately 69-73 days from now. Cowen also pointed out that August and September have historically been seasonally weak periods for Bitcoin, with an average decline of about 10% in August during midterm election years. However, this prediction faces institutional-level skepticism. Fidelity pointed out that within months after Bitcoin hit an all-time high, one-year volatility touched a new low, a signal that never appeared in previous cycles; Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes that continuous inflows into spot ETFs and corporate balance sheet allocation demands have weakened traditional halving cycle patterns; Grayscale's 2026 outlook report also holds a similar view. Cowen, however, insists that although tops are becoming flatter, the bottom ranges of the four cycles have hardly shifted.

DeFi Overall Deposits Decline 15%, RWA Deposits Rise Against Trend to $7.4 Billion
According to BeInCrypto, a latest report jointly released by CoinShares and Token Terminal shows that over the past year (Q2 2025 to Q2 2026), the deposit volume of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) in the DeFi sector increased from $2.3 billion to $7.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of more than twofold, while total DeFi deposits declined by approximately 15% during the same period. The growth was primarily concentrated in yield-bearing products, including tokenized treasury bonds and multi-strategy funds (such as JTRSY, BUIDL, sUSDS), with Aave, Morpho, and Kamino providing the deepest liquidity. Meanwhile, on-chain RWA spot trading volume increased by approximately 220% year-on-year, while native crypto spot trading volume on decentralized exchanges fell by approximately 70%.

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.

韩国加密洗钱案激增 152 倍，"换钱"手法涉案金额达 64 亿美元
据 BeInCrypto 报道，一种名为"Hwanchigi（换钱）"的跨境洗钱手法已成为韩国加密犯罪的核心方式，自 2021 年至 2025年 8 月间，该手法涉及的非法加密交易金额高达 64 亿美元，占韩国同期非法加密交易总额 71 亿美元的 90%以上。该手法通过加密货币转账将非法资金转移至境外，绕开韩国受监管的银行体系。 2026 年上半年，韩国涉虚拟资产洗钱案件达 1,214 起，较 2025 年全年仅 8 起激增 152 倍，占同期加密犯罪总量的 79.4%。USDT 是主要犯罪媒介。然而执法效率严重滞后，上半年仅逮捕 18 人，远低于 2023 年的 42 人。韩国海关同期查获非法外汇交易达 7.2 万亿韩元（约 492 亿美元），逾 90%涉案资金流经无牌渠道。
