Arthur Hayes: Money Printing Could Drive Cryptocurrency Prices Higher
Arthur Hayes stated that U.S. policymakers may support the AI industry and government debt financing through money printing, driving cryptocurrency prices higher; if China shifts from limited tightening to large-scale monetary stimulus, it could also boost demand for scarce assets. He is also monitoring financial stress in France, including BNP Paribas-related credit default swaps and French government bond spreads.Catrina Wang, General Partner at Portal Ventures, said that banks and asset management companies have advantages in on-chain financial markets thanks to their existing client relationships. Todd McDonald, co-founder of R3, pointed out that public blockchains can help institutions reach clients beyond their own networks; Justin Kugel, Executive Vice President of Growth at World Liberty Financial, said that user demand for asset management and investment evaluation still leaves room for intermediaries.Chetan Karkhanis, Senior Vice President of Digital Asset Client Relationships at Franklin Templeton, said the company has no intention of issuing its own stablecoin and hopes tokenized money market funds will provide investment returns. Haonan Li, co-founder and CEO of Codex, said that trade routes connecting Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia are driving demand for stablecoin payments; buyers pay eastward for goods, while manufactured products flow westward.Ilya Podoynitsyn, co-founder and CEO of FinHarbor, said that before allocating to crypto assets, companies need to confirm they have long-term idle funds that will not affect daily operations. Michael Camarda, Chief Development Officer of Ethereum treasury company SharpLink, said that both buying back shares and increasing ETH holdings can raise ETH per share; the company has adopted both methods to meet the preferences of institutional and retail investors.

IRS Issues Fraud Alert: Fake Crypto Tax Letters Target Wallet and Exchange Credentials
Odaily News: The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a fraud alert on July 30, warning that scammers are mailing counterfeit IRS notices requiring cryptocurrency holders to register through a non-existent "Digital Asset Compliance Portal" before an urgent deadline.

Mantle Super Portal Has Migrated to Chainlink CCIP, Bringing Institutional-Grade Security to MNT Cross-Chain Transfers
According to official information, Mantle announced today that its native cross-chain infrastructure Mantle Super Portal, jointly developed with Bybit, has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. Powered by CCIP, Mantle Super Portal will feature enhanced cross-chain security, decentralized node infrastructure protection, advanced risk management, and institutional-grade security standards, providing a higher level of security for cross-chain transfers of MNT tokens valued at over $2.5 billion. Furthermore, as an increasing number of regulated assets such as tokenized stocks are transferred on-chain, the underlying infrastructure supporting them must also meet traditional finance standards. This migration will further solidify Mantle's position as a "distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity," and also reflects Mantle and Bybit's continued commitment to developing MNT through further integrations, opportunities, and use cases. According to the details provided, Mantle Super Portal will be temporarily closed during the migration, scheduled from July 9 to 15, 2026 (the actual timeframe may be slightly extended). No action is required from users, and transfers will automatically resume upon completion of the migration.

Operations Ceased, SecondFi Wallet Migration Tool Launches August 13, Affected Asset Recovery Portal Expected by September 10
: Cardano ecosystem wallet project SecondFi has announced the launch of a wallet migration tool and revealed a recovery plan for assets affected by the June 2026 security incident. As the project will cease operations, users are required to migrate remaining assets still held in SecondFi wallets. The migration tool is expected to go live on August 13, supporting the transfer of eligible ADA, Cardano native tokens, and NFTs to new Cardano wallets created with service providers of the users' choosing. Currently, the tool only supports Cardano network assets; non-Cardano assets must be transferred separately through corresponding network and wallet processes. SecondFi stated that the migration tool has passed an independent security assessment by security firm Bitdefender. For affected assets, SecondFi plans to launch a recovery portal before September 10, where users can verify wallet ownership via zero-knowledge proofs (ZK Proof) and submit asset claims.

IRS Warns Crypto Holders: Scammers Are Sending Fake Letters by Mail to Steal Assets or Data
according to Bloomberg, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is warning crypto asset holders that scammers are contacting some taxpayers by mailing fake letters in an attempt to steal their digital assets or personal data.The IRS stated that these letters may require taxpayers to register for a so-called "Digital Asset Compliance Portal," but this portal does not exist. The IRS also reminds users not to scan suspicious QR codes, and not to answer or comply with calls demanding payment.While phishing and digital scams are not new to the crypto industry, sending fake IRS notifications through physical mail appears to be a novel scam tactic. As the IRS has indeed sent taxpayers letters related to digital assets in the past, and the surge in crypto tax filing notices last year has led to confusion among many taxpayers, scammers may be exploiting this familiarity to disguise their attempts.As the U.S. tax system requires taxpayers to disclose their crypto asset activities on tax returns, communication between the IRS and digital asset holders has become more common. This also makes fake tax notices more deceptive. For crypto users, encountering "IRS letters" involving portal registration, QR code scanning, wallet connections, or payment demands warrants extra caution and should be verified through official channels.
