The co-founder and CEO of the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid, Jeff Yan, stated during a fireside chat at the Token2049 conference in Singapore that traditional wealth creation opportunities on Wall Street, such as company stocks, are essentially inaccessible to the investing public before they are listed on exchanges, causing retail investors to miss out on the most significant price increases prior to listing. He noted that certain assets are tradable by only a few people during most of their growth phases, and by the time the public can trade them, the growth has already been captured by a privileged few, making this wealth creation model unsustainable.Yan stated that Hyperliquid's main mission is to expand the accessibility of wealth creation opportunities and encourage more people to participate in the financial system, with income being merely a byproduct. He mentioned that Hyperliquid's success partly stems from its perpetual contracts having no expiration date, which reduces the number of decisions traders need to make and prevents liquidity fragmentation. According to data from DefiLlama, Hyperliquid generated $72 million in revenue over the past 30 days, ranking third among protocols in terms of revenue.Blockchain asset management company Pantera stated in July that perpetual contracts, due to their structural advantages, could become one of the dominant trading tools in the global financial sector, and Hyperliquid has demonstrated the potential of blockchain infrastructure to challenge traditional markets. Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, called on regulators to create a fair competitive environment for the launch of 24/7 on-chain perpetual contracts. In March of this year, the New York Stock Exchange partnered with the tokenization platform Securitize to advance blockchain-based stock trading infrastructure.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that he has recently warned multiple times that the market may experience a correction. Currently, Bitcoin has not yet broken through the key support level, but altcoins have undergone a comprehensive correction. He pointed out that he previously predicted a correction might occur after Bitcoin rose to around $86,000 about a month ago.Yi Lihua stated that during a bull market trend, most of the time will also be in a consolidation phase, with only a small portion of the time experiencing rapid increases and normal corrections; there will not be a continuously rising bull market. He believes that even if this correction is significant, it is a normal phenomenon within the bull market trend and advises investors not to attempt to trade constantly or seize every opportunity.

Cryptocurrency trader Ansem posted that frequently monitoring the market and judging price trends based on 15-minute candlesticks can easily lead to overtrading. Investors should manage their spot, perpetual contract, and high-risk on-chain trading accounts separately, and should not attempt to catch every local top and bottom, as this may harm long-term investment returns. Instead of frequent trading, it is better to study historical bull markets and observe how long upward trends typically last.The upward cycles of altcoins are usually faster, often outperforming the market for 4 to 6 months, after which new market leaders emerge, especially after a market capitalization growth of more than 10 times. However, there may be a few exceptions in this cycle: some altcoins may see significant revenue growth alongside price increases, thus their fundamentals may improve simultaneously.In past cycles, altcoins primarily peaked due to shifts in market attention and weakening momentum, but in this cycle, if some projects experience substantial changes in revenue and other data, institutional funds may continue to buy actively, and investors need to adjust their original judgments in a timely manner based on new information.In the last cycle, Bitcoin bottomed out in January 2023 and peaked in October 2025, with an upward trend lasting about 33 months. If this cycle bottomed out in July, it is currently only in the 4th month.It is believed that in a longer-term bull market, multiple "mini-bulls" led by specific altcoins will emerge, and investors need to identify these phase-strong assets and continuously reinvest profits into high-performing targets, allowing short-term winners to gradually transform into long-term investments.

Vitalik.eth posted on Farcaster revealing that he is conducting a personal experiment to generate personalized diet and exercise recommendations using personal health and travel data by combining local models with remote cutting-edge models while protecting privacy.The system employs a three-layer privacy protection architecture:Identity Layer: A local model (Qwen 3.8B) replaces the user to construct query requests, avoiding the exposure of writing style that could reveal identity.Payment Layer: Uses zkAPI to hide payment information.Network Layer: Hides IP addresses through Tor.The system is currently operational, but Vitalik pointed out three major shortcomings: Tor is inefficient and has high latency in unlinking requests; the local model runs at only 20-30 TPS, and a smooth experience requires over 100 TPS; the stricter the data protection, the more limited the assistance that the remote model can provide. The relevant code has been submitted to the Ethereum zkAPI repository.

Base has completed the Cobalt upgrade, adding conditional trading and issuer control tools for tokenized assets. This upgrade expands the B20 token standard, allowing issuers to set multiple compliance checks for the same asset, including identity verification, accredited investor status, and sanctions list screening.Issuers can pre-set adjustments for corporate actions such as stock splits, updating the number of shares displayed in wallets and applications without issuing new tokens, burning tokens, or changing the underlying balance. Issuers can also authorize administrators to transfer tokens without the approval of holders and attach public explanations; Base cannot initiate such transfers.Cobalt introduces Validity Transactions, allowing users to set on-chain conditions before submitting transactions, for example, allowing exchanges only if the asset reaches a target price before a specified block deadline. Such transactions can remain private before being included in a block. Base enabled B20 as the native standard for stablecoins and homogenized tokens representing tokenized real-world assets on July 8; Coinbase issued B20 tokens representing stocks of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet on Base on August 25.

Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen interpreted the company's first institutional cryptocurrency adoption report in an interview. The report interviewed 15 major institutions, covering pensions, endowments, foundations, and sovereign wealth funds. During the period when Bitcoin fell from $125,000 to $60,000, none of the interviewed institutions sold off, with many choosing to increase their holdings instead.Rasmussen stated that these institutions view Bitcoin alongside gold as a tool to hedge against currency devaluation. Wells Fargo allocated a position of 2% to 3% in Bitcoin, while Fidelity and BlackRock provided a range of 2% to 8%. He noted that the launch of ETFs has made this round of the Bitcoin bear market shallower than previous ones, with weekly ETF inflows reaching as high as $2.5 billion, bringing a new wave of capital to the market.He also mentioned that sovereign wealth funds are selling gold to buy Bitcoin and believe that $60,000 constitutes the bottom of this round. He simultaneously pointed out that Bitcoin has low correlation with bonds, gold, and stocks.
