U.S. Senate Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair: Senate to Vote on CLARITY Act Before August Recess
Odaily News: U.S. Senate Digital Assets Subcommittee Chair Cynthia Lummis stated that the Senate will hold a vote on the CLARITY Act before lawmakers begin their August recess. The bill aims to divide federal crypto regulatory responsibilities and covers ethics, enforcement, consumer protection, and market certainty. Lummis said negotiations around the bill have been ongoing for 11 months, with Democrats proposing more than 300 pages of amendments. Current negotiations still involve sections related to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), enforcement provisions, and ethics rules for senior federal officials. On August 5, Democratic staff on the Senate Banking Committee listed five unresolved areas, including securities protection, illicit finance, national security, and presidential conflicts of interest. Donald Trump has received a bipartisan counter-proposal that would allow state attorneys general to enforce federal crypto ethics rules. Under the CLARITY Act, the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would share regulatory oversight, establishing distinct pathways for qualifying digital commodities and securities. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins both support advancing clearer digital asset regulatory legislation.
Analyst: Current active BTC investors under 20% loss on average, cyclical adjustment still ongoing
Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on platform X that currently, active Bitcoin investors are floating at a loss of about 20% on average, and market sentiment is in a "devaluation" phase, but has not yet reached the deep pressure levels typical of historical bear markets.Darkfost pointed out that the True Market Mean (TMM) is currently around $76,700. This indicator reflects the average cost basis of active circulating BTC supply (excluding coins that have been dormant for a long time, potentially lost, or illiquid). Historically, this level acted as a significant resistance zone in May, where some investors chose to exit the market without incurring losses or with minor losses. Meanwhile, the AVIV Ratio (Active Value to Investor Value) is currently around 0.8, meaning active investors are down approximately 20% from their cost basis. In contrast, during historical bear markets, this indicator typically drops to 0.5–0.6, corresponding to a deeper drawdown of about 40%–50%.Analysis suggests that in this cycle, the entry of institutional funds and ETFs has not changed Bitcoin's cyclical nature; the market continues to operate within its own structural framework. Although significant devaluation pressure is already evident, it may not necessarily need to fall to historical bear market extreme levels to trigger a rebound. Overall, cautious judgment regarding cyclical fluctuations remains necessary.
Gray-scale Research: AAVE Token’s Current Price Has Valuation Support; Reasonable Price in Base Case Scenario Could Reach $175 Within One Year
GreyScale Research’s report states that as the valuation framework for crypto assets gradually aligns with traditional financial analysis, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with clear cash flows and robust token value-capture mechanisms are attracting increased attention. Using Aave as an example, the report notes that Aave—the leading on-chain lending protocol—generates revenue primarily from lending spreads, treasury yields, and GHO-related activities (GHO being its native stablecoin). Following continuous improvements to its governance mechanism, the linkage between the protocol’s economics and the value accruing to AAVE token holders has strengthened.
Bitwise CIO: Privacy Could Be the Next “Killer App,” Arc, Canton, and Tempo Exceed $1 Billion in Total Funding
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that privacy is becoming a core infrastructure direction for the next phase of the crypto industry. Recently, three institutional-grade blockchains focused on stablecoins and asset tokenization—Arc, Canton, and Tempo—have accumulated over $1 billion in total funding, indicating a rapidly growing demand from institutions for "privacy-friendly on-chain financial systems."Among them, stablecoin issuer Circle contributed $222 million in funding for Arc, giving it a valuation of approximately $3 billion; Digital Asset’s Canton blockchain is reportedly seeking $300 million in funding at a $2 billion valuation; and Tempo, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, has previously completed $500 million in funding at a valuation of $5 billion.Hougan noted that this funding wave reflects three major trends: the gradual clarification of the U.S. regulatory framework, increased institutional demand for on-chain privacy, and intensified competition among new blockchain networks supported by large enterprises. Current public blockchains still face structural trade-offs between speed, cost, security, and privacy. However, scenarios involving stablecoins and RWA tokenization require systems that simultaneously offer high performance, compliance, and privacy, making “verifiable privacy” a critical prerequisite for institutional adoption of on-chain finance.Hougan further stated that, for enterprises, “all transactions being publicly broadcast” is not an advantage but a potential flaw. In the future, users and institutions may find it increasingly difficult to accept a fully transparent on-chain financial environment. He believes that privacy capabilities could become the “killer app” driving the crypto industry into its next phase of mainstream adoption. Additionally, following the passage of the U.S. Genius Act in 2025, regulatory certainty has significantly increased, providing a clearer policy foundation for institutional funds to enter the crypto infrastructure space.

Vitalik: Ethereum's Current Roadmap Adds New Directions Including Strong Privacy, Post-Quantum Scalability, and Native Rollups
Odaily News: Vitalik posted on X platform, stating that he has updated the 2023 roadmap diagram, overlaying the items listed at that time onto their corresponding positions in the current Strawmap. Overall, there is significant overlap between the two, but the order of some items has been rearranged—for example, quantum security has been prioritized higher; some items have been deprioritized, such as VDF and many EVM improvements; and some items have been replaced by better constructions, such as Verkle evolving into unified BT and then PBT, with state expiration being replaced by new state types. However, the most notable change is that the Strawmap includes some entirely new additions not present in the diagram, as these were not in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting shifts in priorities. The main additions include: - Giving first-class priority to strong privacy, including keyed Nonces and recent roots, parts of FOCIL, lean privacy pools, and Wormholes; - Advancing scalability around post-quantum scenarios, including leanSPHINCS signatures and aggregation, and zkzk frames; - Pushing forward the Lean specification to assist formal verification. Full formal verification of everything is now feasible thanks to modern AI; - Blob and Gas futures, a concept that did not exist in 2023; - Native Rollups—back in 2023, SNARKs were far from mature enough to consider this direction; - Opening up a more expansive design space for "the future of EVM." zkzk frames already imply that the protocol will offer users a non-EVM ISA, with the main current candidates being leanISA and RISC-V. These ISAs are simpler, more modern, and more efficient than the EVM. Once introduced, they can be opened up to all developers, transforming the EVM into an intermediate representation (IR) built on top of these ISAs, rather than a built-in feature that significantly increases base protocol complexity. However, deeper exploration in this area is still premature even for the Strawmap; - New state types are not just a replacement for state expiration, but a fundamentally different paradigm for how Ethereum scales. He noted that a common theme across the scalability space is reflected in two new ideas—state types and zkzk frames: rather than trying to maximize the extension of all Ethereum activity, it is better to create specialized mechanisms with restrictive properties that are therefore better suited for scalability, while carrying the heaviest load from current and future users and applications, such as token transfers, swaps, and privacy protocols. Another common theme is treating STARKs and AI-accelerated formal verification as first-class objects, and building Ethereum's technological future upon them. Recursive STARKs appear at multiple layers of the protocol, and one specific primitive, "aggregate to union verified dependencies," is expected to be used in three locations in the protocol: the execution layer, consensus layer, and data layer. Its safety can only be ensured thr

The next four weeks are the final window for the US Congress to pass the Clarity Act this year
: Industry insiders indicate that after the US Senate reconvenes, it will enter a critical window of approximately four weeks, determining whether the Clarity Act can pass this year. The bill needs to complete the finalized text, Senate debate, and voting before the August recess, and secure at least 60 votes of support in the Senate. Current negotiation focuses include whether to retain the exemption clause for non-custodial developers within the "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act," and establishing an "ethics framework" for official conflicts of interest regarding President Trump's cryptocurrency business interests. Meanwhile, the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and the absence of Mitch McConnell have weakened Republican voting power, increasing the importance of securing support from Democratic senators.
Federal Reserve's Williams: Current monetary policy stance helps restore inflation to 2%
Federal Reserve's Williams stated the current monetary policy stance is in a favorable position to bring inflation back to the Fed's 2% target level, while also acknowledging that risks remain in achieving its dual mandate. Williams said: "Given that inflation is at a high level, we must persistently bring it back to the long-term target of 2%. The current monetary policy stance is fully capable of achieving this goal." Williams noted that inflation is "undoubtedly at a high level" and far above the committee's 2% target. He expects inflation data to edge down slightly in the coming quarters, although significant risks remain.
Viewpoint: Mythos’ breach of the NSA signals that AGI is drawing near; 9% inflation will not become the norm
Anthony Pompliano, Chairman of Bitcoin treasury company ProCap Financial, posted on X stating that Mythos allegedly breached the U.S. National Security Agency’s (NSA) classified systems within hours—a development that will further intensify public concerns about AI risks and prompt increased regulatory intervention. Yet the more critical signal conveyed by this incident is that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is, in fact, drawing near. Current AI technologies not only surpass humans in capability but are also self-training and improving at an incomprehensible pace—“humans cannot compete with these models.”

Citrini analyst questions SanDisk's HBF demonstration: Possible deliberate underestimation of HBM performance
Odaily News, Citrini analyst Zephyr posted on X platform questioning that SanDisk's HBF vs. HBM performance comparison at its Investor Day may contain parameter configuration bias, arguing that the company deliberately underestimated HBM performance in its demonstration.Zephyr pointed out that SanDisk set total bandwidth for both HBM and HBF at 12.8TB/s, while running the Qwen3-480B-A35B model with bfloat16. Current model inference more commonly uses FP4 or FP8, requiring approximately 240GB to 480GB of capacity.Zephyr also noted that SanDisk fixed HBM capacity at 192GB per GPU, but 16-layer HBM4E in an 8-stack configuration can reach 512GB capacity with approximately 32TB/s bandwidth—roughly three times the parameters used in SanDisk's demonstration. Zephyr believes these parameter choices result in the company's claim that "HBF requires only 1 to 4 GPUs, while HBM requires 8 GPUs" failing to adequately represent actual performance under higher-spec HBM configurations.
Capacity utilization may reach 100% within the year, Samsung Electronics' foundry business approaches profitability turning point
Citrini analyst jukan said on the X platform that Samsung Electronics' foundry division is expected to reach 100% capacity utilization in the second half of this year. Current capacity utilization is estimated at 70% to 80%. With order backlogs and progress in contract negotiations, both internal and external parties at Samsung believe the target is essentially assured. The division has been in a depressed state with capacity utilization below 50% since 2024, and after about a year, it is approaching full operation, with signs of a turning point in its long-term loss-making structure. Industry sources say that the rise in capacity utilization is driven by high-bandwidth memory (HBM) base chips and growing demand for advanced products centered on major US Big Tech clients. With 4nm applied to the sixth-generation HBM, namely HBM4, memory market momentum is directly boosting foundry capacity utilization. Meanwhile, 2nm orders from major cloud service providers and AI and high-performance computing clients are expanding, and project discussions with major customers such as Broadcom are ongoing. Customer diversification is also progressing. Samsung's foundry business has long been criticized for relying on specific customers, but recently, Big Tech companies such as Qualcomm, AMD, and Google have begun participating in negotiations. Tesla is also reportedly placing its next-generation chip orders with the 2nm process, driving the expansion of the mid-to-long-term order pipeline. However, the market generally believes that converting these orders into actual mass production contracts requires 2nm yield to stabilize in the 70% range; the current yield is estimated to be in the 60% range, and the pace of subsequent improvement is a key focus. The business structure is also being adjusted. Revenue from advanced processes is expected to exceed 50% this year, and the share of AI and high-performance computing revenue is expected to expand from nearly 20% last year to over 30% this year. In the second half of the year, mass production of second-generation 2nm process SF2P mobile products will begin. Texas Taylor Fab 1 is preparing to start operations this year as planned, and Taylor Fab 2 will break ground within the year, targeting mass production by 2030. As customer inquiries for the 1.4nm process increase, Samsung is also evaluating additional wafer fab plans. At its second-quarter earnings call on July 30, Samsung said capacity utilization across all nodes improved year-over-year, and advanced nodes at 8nm and below have achieved the highest levels by focusing on high-growth demand products. Samsung expects the number of 2nm project wins this year to more than double from last year. Regarding the timing of returning to profitability, Samsung said it is difficult to specify an exact timeframe but indicated it should be achievable in the near term. Analysts expect non-memory businesses, including foundry and System LSI, to turn profitable as early as the

Morningstar: Nvidia's Fair Value Estimate Set at $280 Per Share, 44% Higher Than Current Levels
Odaily News: Investment research firm Morningstar stated in a report on July 30 that it has set Nvidia's fair value estimate at $280 per share, 44% higher than the current level of approximately $194. The firm believes that Nvidia's 17% decline since mid-May has begun to diverge from its fair value estimate.Morningstar also assigned Nvidia a "very high" uncertainty rating. The risks it listed include the possibility of hyperscale cloud providers developing their own AI hardware in the future, as well as related customers cutting spending in response to investor demands.Morningstar Senior Equity Analyst Brian Colello stated that the likelihood of strong AI capital expenditure in the near and medium term remains high, and Nvidia's growth prospects are being underestimated. He also noted that the stock appears to exhibit undervaluation characteristics.

Anthropic AI Model Weakens HAWK Minimum Key Strength in 60 Hours
: Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview model discovered a flaw in the proposed HAWK digital signature scheme, effectively halving its minimum key strength. HAWK is one of the candidate schemes to replace current network and bank signatures in a post-quantum environment. This AI-driven attack took approximately 60 hours, with a computational cost of around $100,000, reducing the effort required to break HAWK's minimum parameter set from roughly 2^64 operations to 2^38 operations, and diminishing the attractiveness of larger compensating key sizes. Current Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures remain unaffected. The results indicate that the capabilities of classical cryptanalysis attacks are improving, while Bitcoin and other networks continue to discuss when and how to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography.

Yesterday, GitHub detected and contained an attack on an employee's device involving a malicious VS Code plugin. GitHub has removed the malicious plugin version, isolated the endpoint, and immediately initiated an incident response.Current assessment indicates that this activity only involved the theft of GitHub's internal repositories. The attackers' claim of approximately 3,800 repositories aligns with GitHub's investigation direction so far. GitHub has taken swift action to mitigate risks, rotating critical keys yesterday and overnight, and prioritizing the most impactful credentials. GitHub will continue analyzing logs, verifying key rotations, and monitoring subsequent activities. A more comprehensive report will be released upon completion of the investigation.
THORChain: Network Paused Due to Security Incident, Suspected Single Malicious Node Exploiting GG20 TSS Vulnerability to Steal Funds
Odaily Odaily, THORChain posted on platform X that its developers have released an incident update on Discord. Current evidence points to a node thor16uc...cn84q, which recently joined the network, as being associated with the attack. This node is operated by a single malicious actor. The primary hypothesis is that the attacker exploited a vulnerability in the GG20 TSS implementation, causing sensitive key material of vault participants to leak over time. This ultimately enabled the reconstruction of the vault's private key and the execution of unauthorized outgoing transactions.Regarding network status, the network has been paused after multiple node operators executed `make pause`. RUNE transfers and on-chain observation may resume within approximately 12 hours, but transactions, LP operations, signing, and other sensitive operations remain paused.Discussed recovery plans include slashing the affected node's bond, covering losses with protocol-owned liquidity (POL), or other community-driven solutions. THORSec and Outrider Analytics are continuing their investigation. The Treasury is gathering forensic data and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Full functional recovery is expected to take several days or longer.

Bitcoin BIP-110 Forced Signaling Window Opens in Less Than Two Weeks, Current Support Rate ~2.64%
Odaily Odaily News: The Bitcoin BIP-110 forced signaling window will open at block height 961632, expected around August 9, 2026. As of 8:40 AM (EDT) on July 27, the chain height is 959842, approximately 1790 blocks away from this activation block. The current BIP-110 signaling support rate is around 2.64%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," proposes to limit the size of certain data fields within Bitcoin transactions, targeting Ordinals-like inscriptions, large OP_RETURN payloads, and similar high-data-volume use cases. If activated, the restrictions will take effect at block 965664 and automatically expire after 52,416 blocks (approximately one year). Current signaling support primarily comes from Ocean, independent miners, and small-scale operators. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2pool have not yet switched to supporting the proposal. Foundry has requested clients to vote based on their average hashrate; only when “support” votes exceed 51% of the participating weighted hashrate will the pool switch all its blocks to signaling support. If the current signaling level persists until block 961632, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will reject blocks that have not signaled version bit 4 and will instead follow the minority of blocks that do signal. Unupgraded nodes will continue to accept both signaling and non-signaling blocks, and will follow the chain with the most cumulative proof of work.

Glassnode: Bitcoin Remains in "Capitulation Phase," Current Rebound Should Be Seen as a Local Bounce in the Bottoming Process
According to Odaily, Glassnode's latest report points out that Bitcoin's on-chain structure is still in the "capitulation phase," with the short-term holder cost basis having dropped to approximately $68,500, below the real market average of around $75,800. Meanwhile, the current relative unrealized loss peaked at roughly 25%, significantly lower than the over 60% level seen during capitulation phases in previous cycles, indicating that the market's loss severity in this cycle is relatively shallower but more widely distributed, which may require a longer period to complete the clearing process.Glassnode also stated that the 90-day moving average of the realized profit/loss ratio currently stands at 0.75, whereas historically, this indicator typically falls below 0.5 before seller exhaustion occurs. Therefore, true seller exhaustion has not yet emerged. Glassnode further noted that until this indicator breaks back above 2, any price rebound should be viewed more as a local bounce rather than a fundamental shift in market trend.Additionally, the 30-day directional premium in the perpetual futures market turned significantly negative during the recent decline but has now rebounded noticeably and re-entered positive territory. This suggests that leveraged traders are once again willing to pay a premium for long exposure, indicating that speculative risk appetite has improved somewhat. However, in contrast to the improvement in the perpetual futures market, the Coinbase Premium Index remains persistently negative, suggesting that demand in the U.S. spot market has yet to show a meaningful return.

SK Hynix Chairman: Most Severe "Memory Shortage" Expected in 2027, AI Agent Usage May Grow 77-Fold Within 5 Years
Odaily News: Recently, SK Hynix Chairman Choi Tae-won gave an exclusive interview to the media at the company's headquarters in South Korea. During the interview, he once again emphasized the explosive growth in memory demand and stated that the most severe "memory shortage" will occur next year.He noted that demand for memory from the AI ecosystem has already exceeded SK Hynix's supply capacity. "Current demand is explosive," Choi said. "All my customers are requesting nearly double the supply volume of their original needs." He stated that capacity expansion could take four to five years, describing the scramble among companies for memory chips as "like a war." Without sufficient memory, customers "cannot produce AI computing devices or AI chips." He also added that as demand for AI servers continues to surge, HBM high-bandwidth memory is in short supply, with many tech giants even arriving in South Korea early to secure long-term agreements.Choi also warned that next year could see the most severe memory shortage in history. He compared today's AI to a four-year-old child, noting that as the industry matures, memory demand will grow substantially. He predicted that AI agent usage could increase 77-fold within five years.
