Lighter Founder: All Economic Value of Lighter Will Flow to the Token, with the Equity Structure Converted to a Token Structure at TGE
Lighter founder Vladimir Novakovski published an article on X this morning titled "Equity and Tokens."In the article, Novakovski clarified that all economic value generated by Lighter will belong to token holders.Lighter's original intention has always been to use venture capital to bootstrap the project until the moment of token issuance. Lighter is a U.S. company and exists as a single entity — the entity that issued equity in the years leading up to TGE is the same entity that issued tokens at TGE. Apart from converting to a token cap table at TGE, the equity cap table will have no further function in the future.More specifically, Lighter completed its final equity financing round a few months before TGE, which was oversubscribed by approximately 5 times, attracting over $300 million in capital interest against a $68 million allocation. At that time, all equity stakeholders (including early investors and former employees) were informed of the future plan — that their equity value would only be reflected as holdings on the token cap table — and were given the opportunity to sell their equity stakes. Anyone who disagreed with the philosophy that "all value belongs to the token" could easily exit at a higher valuation. Ultimately, less than 1% of equity holders chose to sell their shares, while the rest chose to stay, thereby supporting Lighter's commitment to "value accruing to the token."
Analysis: Micron May Be Entering a New Valuation Structure Logic of "Higher Earnings, Higher Valuation"
Odaily reports, Deep Value Memetics posted an analysis on X platform, pointing out that Micron Technology may currently be exhibiting an atypical semiconductor valuation structure: as earnings per share (EPS) rise, the valuation multiple the market assigns is simultaneously expanding.Currently, Micron trades at approximately 22 times PE, below the S&P 500 (SPY) average of about 22 times, and also significantly lower than the semiconductor index (SOX) at roughly 26 times. In previous cycles, analysts typically assigned lower valuation multiples during the peak earnings phase. However, as the "de-risking" process advances, this "show-me" narrative is shifting. The market may be entering a new phase of "EPS growth → valuation multiple expansion," leading to exponential valuation revaluation. If EPS reaches $200 and is assigned a 20 times valuation, Micron's stock price could point toward the $4,000 level.
Jiang Zhuoer Analyzes MSTR Capital Structure: BTC Reserves Can Cover Years of Dividend Payments, But Market Sentiment Remains Cautious
Jiang Zhuoer stated in a post that MicroStrategy (MSTR) currently holds approximately $55 billion in Bitcoin assets, corresponding to an annual dividend payment of about $1.7 billion for its STRC preferred stock. Theoretically, selling BTC could cover dividend requirements for roughly 32 years.STRC is classified as preferred stock rather than a debt instrument, so there is no traditional mandatory principal repayment pressure. From a financial structure perspective, MSTR does not face "liquidation-style leverage risk" or short-term solvency crises. However, the discussion itself reflects growing market concerns about the company's long-term cash flow and cryptocurrency asset volatility. STRC has already experienced significant discount fluctuations, limiting its refinancing capabilities.Furthermore, MSTR has recently relied more on issuing common stock (which may dilute BTC per share when mNAV is below 1) to fund its BTC accumulation. This strategy is difficult to sustain over the long term.Jiang Zhuoer indicated that even if the scale of MSTR's actual BTC sales to pay dividends is relatively small compared to the broader market, the symbolic significance may be more important. It could pressure market confidence and prompt investors to reassess the possibility of "long-term passive BTC selling." Market understanding of this structure is not uniform, and this divergence in perception itself could become an important factor influencing expectations and sentiment.
Binance US Stock Business Structure Exposed: Nest Trading Handles Connections, Alpaca Monopolizes 94% of Tokenized US Stock Market
Binance's US stock business adopts a dual-core structure of "introducing broker + clearing broker," with Nest Trading responsible for order referral, and US fintech company Alpaca Securities handling the entire process of trade execution, clearing, settlement, and asset custody.Nest Trading, formerly known as BCI Limited, obtained a broker-dealer license from the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) FSRA at the end of 2025 and officially began operations on January 5, 2026. Together with Nest Exchange and Nest Clearing and Custody, it forms Binance's compliance "troika" in ADGM. Registered on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, Nest Trading handles key Binance services such as OTC, Convert, and Earn.Alpaca is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA and SIPC, commanding a 94% market share of tokenized US stocks and ETFs, facilitating 1:1 on-chain asset conversion for platforms like Ondo Finance. In January 2026, Alpaca completed a $150 million Series D funding round at a valuation of $1.15 billion, achieving unicorn status with investments from Citadel Securities, Kraken, MUFG, and others. As of early 2026, Alpaca serves over 300 institutions, covering 9 million brokerage accounts. By the end of 2025, it held total assets of $1.386 billion and net capital exceeding $100 million.Public information indicates that Binance and its core team had no prior connection with Alpaca. This collaboration establishes a cross-border US stock trading loop characterized by "ADGM licensed connectivity + US compliant clearing."
Analysis: Bitcoin Rebound Not Confirmed as Bull Market Start, On-Chain Structure Still Lacks Bottom Signals
: Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that although Bitcoin rebounded after falling from around $125,000 to $60,000, the current trend remains a "repair after decline" and has not yet been confirmed as entering a new bull market cycle.He pointed out that from an on-chain data perspective, multiple key indicators have not yet entered the historical bear market bottom range. This includes the "Supply in Loss" and 90-day UTXO-related metrics, which have not yet shown a sufficient cyclical bottom structure. Meanwhile, the "LTH Realized Supply" has also not displayed the typical accumulation pattern seen at the end of a bear market, indicating that the market has not yet entered a deep reallocation phase.Additionally, spot selling pressure indicators have not shown obvious "capitulation selling", suggesting that a typical comprehensive market cleansing has not occurred during this decline. Axel Adler Jr believes that before improvements are seen simultaneously in on-chain structure, spot demand, and supply pressure, the current upward move is more likely a technical rebound rather than a trend reversal.On a macro level, he pointed out that the global risk environment remains tight. The conflict between the US and Iran has pushed Brent crude oil close to $100 per barrel, reigniting inflationary pressure. Consumer confidence and financial health indices are weakening, indicating pressure on the demand side. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields remain high, with real interest rates and inflation expectations rising concurrently, further suppressing risk asset valuations.He also mentioned that the leadership of the US Federal Reserve is about to enter a potential transition phase, but the interest rate market is no longer pricing in rapid rate cuts and has even begun to price in the probability of rate hikes. Market expectations have clearly shifted towards "higher for longer". In an environment of high oil prices, high interest rates, and uncertain monetary policy, overall financial conditions remain tight.Axel Adler Jr stated that the current market needs to wait for clearer on-chain bottom structures and signs of demand-side recovery. Until then, he maintains a cautious stance on the market outlook.
Key crypto rules meeting canceled, adding uncertainty to SEC’s crypto regulation push
Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today canceled a public meeting originally scheduled for Friday. The meeting was set to consider a tailored issuance regime for investment contracts involving crypto assets. The SEC cited "unforeseen scheduling issues" as the reason for the cancellation, without providing further details. The cancellation comes after the Senate entered its August recess without holding a full chamber vote on the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (CLARITY Act). SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in a CNBC interview on July 27 that if the Senate failed to pass the CLARITY Act, the SEC was "ready, willing, and able" to issue rules for digital assets. Previously, the CLARITY Act missed its pre-recess voting window due to a dispute over which authority would hold enforcement powers over ethics provisions.
Grayscale: Failure of CLARITY Act Could Drive New US Crypto Investment Overseas
Odaily News: Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl said that even if the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) is not passed, the operation of major blockchains, demand for Bitcoin as a store of value, and growth of stablecoin payments will not be immediately affected. Regulators will fill regulatory gaps through rulemaking. Zach Pandl noted that the lack of comprehensive market structure legislation could dampen new investment activity in the US, prompting crypto industry participants and startups to move to overseas jurisdictions with clearer regulatory frameworks. The US government will continue to support the development of the crypto ecosystem. Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor previously stated that regardless of whether the CLARITY Act is passed, Bitcoin will continue to develop, but the US needs regulatory clarity for digital assets. Senator Bernie Moreno said that Senate Democrats and Republicans have concluded related negotiations, and a vote will follow.
Analysis: US Crypto Market Structure Bill Faces Headwinds, but Regulatory Path Will Not Stop Advancing
The U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) failed to seize a critical advancement window before the Senate's summer recess, and the market is now focusing on whether the U.S. crypto industry can continue to develop even if the bill ultimately fails.Analysts believe that if the CLARITY Act fails to pass, it would be a significant setback for the crypto industry, but not a fatal blow. The bill was designed to clarify the boundaries between securities, commodities, and other categories of digital assets, determine the agencies responsible for overseeing related businesses, and grant the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) clearer regulatory authority over crypto commodity trading.Currently, the bill's progress has stalled, and the likelihood of comprehensive crypto market structure legislation being enacted before the end of the year is declining. This means the U.S. may still lack a clear digital asset regulatory framework, particularly regarding oversight of trading in major crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), where jurisdictional gaps remain between the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).However, industry insiders point out that even if the CLARITY Act fails, the SEC and CFTC are still likely to continue advancing industry development through policy statements, regulatory guidance, and existing enforcement authority.In recent years, both agencies have issued multiple pieces of guidance clarifying the regulatory boundaries of business models such as crypto mining, Meme coins, and staking rewards. One of the most significant measures among these is the digital asset taxonomy framework, which seeks to establish standardized regulatory classifications for different types of digital assets.

US Clarity Act Progress Stalls Amid Wait-and-See, Procedural Vote and Yield Clause Become Key Variables
According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the progress of the U.S. Digital Asset Market Structure Act, the "Clarity Act," is currently in a wait-and-see stage. All parties are awaiting a response or counterproposal from the White House regarding the bipartisan ethics amendment plan, while also monitoring whether Senate Republican Leader John Thune will file a cloture motion on the motion to proceed to consider the bill tonight.
JPMorgan: Probability of Clarity Act Passing This Year Drops to 37%, Some Provisions May Inhibit Institutional Participation
According to The Block, the JPMorgan analyst team (led by Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou) released a report on July 30 stating that the probability of the "Clarity Act" (Crypto Market Structure Act) passing in the US Senate within the year has dropped to a historic low. The Kalshi prediction market shows a passing probability of only 37%, while Polymarket is even lower at 26%. Analysts pointed out that disagreements on core issues such as ethical provisions, enforcement standards, stablecoin yields, decentralized finance, and illicit finance remain unresolved. Voting is expected to be difficult to complete before the Senate summer recess, and may be postponed until after senators return in mid-September.
Fidelity Urges US Senate to Pass the CLARITY Act

Analyst: Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Share Drops to Phase Low, Long-Term Holders Dominate Market Structure
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that data shows Bitcoin is shifting from short-term speculators to long-term holders. The share of Short-Term Holders (STH) has dropped to 23%, the lowest level since the bottoming phase from 2022 to 2023; meanwhile, the share of Long-Term Holders (LTH) is approaching historical highs.

CryptoQuant: BTC Spot Demand Continues to Weaken, Fragile Market Structure May Face Long Liquidation Risk
According to monitoring by ScenarioX, an analyst at on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant, Bitcoin's 30-day spot demand has deteriorated again to nearly -170,000 BTC after briefly rebounding to approximately -80,000 BTC in early July. Despite the significant decline in spot demand, the BTC price currently remains relatively stable, supported by eased short-term selling pressure and short covering in the derivatives market. ScenarioX noted that current derivatives demand is insufficient to support a sustained upward trend on its own, and the overall market structure is relatively fragile. If spot selling pressure reignites, it may trigger a sharp downturn; if spot selling remains sluggish, a derivatives-driven technical rebound may continue, but in the absence of substantial spot demand support, such rebounds will most likely end with large-scale long liquidations.

Bitfinex Report: Bitcoin Exhibits a Market Structure of “Selling Pressure Paused, but Buying Not Yet Confirmed”
The Bitfinex Alpha report notes that Bitcoin held its $59,200 low after multiple tests and rebounded 3.54% this week to close at $65,655. This rally stems more from exhaustion of selling pressure than from new demand: open interest in futures has declined significantly from its May highs; short-term holders have been selling at a loss; and exchange balances have dropped to a seven-year low—indicating the market has entered a phase of deleveraging and release of selling pressure. Short-term holders remain broadly underwater by approximately 17%–19%, suggesting substantial potential overhead supply remains.
Analyst: Bitcoin Bounce Fails to Alter Bearish Structure, A Return Above $80,000 Needed for Trend Reversal
Despite Bitcoin bouncing after falling below $60,000, several market analysts believe this is more likely a technical correction following an oversold condition rather than the start of a new bull market.Analysts at HEX Trust stated that the market has entered an oversold territory. If US inflation data cools and the outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs slows down, Bitcoin could see further upside. However, a true trend reversal depends on the market’s ability to firmly reclaim the $79,000 to $80,000 range. Until then, any upward movement should be viewed as a corrective rally within a bear market.Alex Kuptsikevich, Chief Analyst at FxPro, is relatively more optimistic. He believes that if Bitcoin can rebound to around $68,000, it could be considered a valid recovery from the downtrend observed between May 11 and June 5.Data shows that the net cumulative outflow from the 11 US spot Bitcoin ETFs over the past four weeks has exceeded $5 billion. On Monday alone, another $91 million flowed out. Analysts point out that ETF fund flows remain one of the key factors determining Bitcoin’s future trajectory.Additionally, the market is closely watching US inflation data scheduled for release on Wednesday. If the inflation figure comes in lower than expected, it could help ease market concerns about further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, thereby providing support for risk assets like Bitcoin. The market currently expects the US inflation rate for May to remain above 4%, significantly higher than the Fed's long-term target of 2%. (CoinDesk)

Fu Peng: AI Capital Expenditures by Major Firms Like Alibaba and Tencent Disrupt the High Free Cash Flow and Stable Buyback Dividend Structure
Odaily News, Fu Peng, Chief Economist of Xinhuo Group, stated on X platform that Tencent's latest free cash flow has turned negative. The substantial increase in AI capital expenditures by Alibaba, Tencent, and Silicon Valley giants such as Meta and Google has disrupted the previous "high free cash flow with stable buybacks and dividends" structure. Over the past period, the market has been optimistic about AI, believing that such large capital expenditures represent a long-term competitive advantage in the future.He stated that starting from the second quarter of this year, the market's tolerance for the mismatch between investment and returns has declined, and sentiment has become more cautious. Currently, the revenue generated at the application level is still in a validation phase compared to cumulative investments reaching hundreds of billions, and the high capital expenditures need to correspond with quantifiable long-term return expectations. The coming quarters will be a critical window period, as investor sentiment has shifted from the positivity seen in previous years to caution. Only by seeing truly quantifiable and certain revenue growth can investor doubts be dispelled. The same scale of capital expenditures may lead to different outcomes under varying investor sentiment.
