According to La Tribuna, the body of a Chinese man was found outside the Jade Park high-rise apartment in the Trinidad district of Asunción, Paraguay. Preliminary identification confirmed the identity as Harry Chun Tak Yeh, the founder and managing partner of Quantum Fintech Group. The police stated that he is suspected to have fallen from the 30th floor of the building, and his body was found completely naked and covered with a black plastic bag. Investigators found the apartment door on the 30th floor ajar, with the interior in disarray, and confirmed that he also owned another apartment on the 27th floor of the same building. Criminal technicians have collected evidence outside the building and from both apartments, and relevant physical evidence has been handed over to the prosecution. The prosecution is currently investigating multiple possibilities, including accident, suspected suicide, and homicide, while the judicial department will determine the specific cause of death and the circumstances through an autopsy.It is reported that Chinese-American cryptocurrency investor Harry Yeh entered the Bitcoin market in 2013 when the BTC trading price was $60. He launched his first fund with $250,000, and his investment network claims to manage over $2.4 billion in assets, closely linked with Fantom, Tomb Finance, Lif3, ZooCoin, L3 USD, and L3 Reserve.

ARK Invest stated that despite the latest U.S. employment data appearing weak, the overall economic situation is not as pessimistic as it seems. Cathie Wood mentioned that the U.S. federal deficit as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is currently 5.6%, and if productivity and technology adoption continue to improve, it may approach 5% by the end of the year.

According to Cointelegraph, Nansen's CEO Alex Svanevik stated in a recent interview that Robinhood is unlikely to launch a token, as this could create competition with its publicly traded stock HOOD.Alex Svanevik pointed out that the Layer 2 network currently launched by Robinhood is already operating based on the Ethereum ecosystem and has a Gas token for paying network fees, so there is no need to issue an additional platform token. He believes that the core purpose of Robinhood's layout of blockchain infrastructure is to enhance product capabilities using blockchain technology, rather than financing through token issuance or building a new economic model.Previously, the market speculated that Robinhood might follow some crypto projects to launch an ecosystem token, but it seems that the company is more likely to use blockchain as an underlying technological tool rather than building a business system around tokens.

Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated in a post that the previous three major bottoms of Bitcoin were accompanied by "high losses and large fluctuations," while the current characteristics are "losses not high enough and smaller fluctuations." He believes that rather than betting on this being an unprecedented "calm bottom," it is better to view it as a "breathing stage" in the process of finding a bottom.Jiang Zhuoer cited the market situation in 2018 as an example, when the $6,000 level of BTC was tested multiple times and was seen by many investors as a bottom that would not be broken. Before breaking below, BTC traded sideways in the $6,000 to $7,000 range for about two and a half months, which is quite similar to the current sideways trading in the $60,000 to $70,000 range for two months, after which the price fell to $3,000.

Starknet announced that it has completed the quantum-resistant signature transfer test, where a wallet account using a quantum-resistant signature mechanism completed a real transfer on the Starknet mainnet, with a transaction fee of about 6 cents, and can be queried through the block explorer. This account is currently an experimental, unaudited version, mainly used for research testing. StarkWare stated that this transfer benefits from the design of the Starknet account model.Unlike most blockchains that fix the signature algorithm at the protocol layer, each account on Starknet is a smart contract that can autonomously define the accepted signature schemes, allowing users to upgrade their wallets from traditional elliptic curve signatures to quantum-resistant signatures without hard forks, asset migrations, or changing addresses. StarkWare pointed out that most blockchains face quantum computing risks because wallet signatures and underlying verification systems rely on elliptic curve cryptography. Once large-scale quantum computers appear, running Shor's algorithm could potentially break the related encryption systems. Currently, the Starknet ecosystem supports a quantum-resistant signature scheme based on Falcon-512, which is part of the NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization process, with relevant implementations promoted by ecosystem teams and organizations such as OpenZeppelin.

According to Bloomberg, informed sources revealed that the U.S. government department responsible for investigating violations of chip export controls is currently conducting a systematic review of how Chinese AI companies obtain advanced chips from Nvidia through legal means, focusing on their behavior of renting computing power in third countries. This move stems from recent technological breakthroughs achieved by Chinese AI companies, indicating that they still have the capability to acquire and use top-tier hardware despite U.S. export restrictions on chips to China. Analysts believe that this review may prompt the U.S. to further tighten regulatory rules on computing power leasing in third countries to close existing loopholes in the export control system.

According to CoinDesk, the tokenized asset company Ondo Finance is embroiled in a corporate control dispute following the death of founder Nathan Allman this year. The estate has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court, accusing former president and current CEO Ian De Bode of improperly attempting to seize control of the company while the estate certification process is not yet complete and the company's voting rights are temporarily suspended. The three legal documents request the judge to determine who legally controls Ondo Finance and to prohibit the company from taking significant actions until the governance dispute is resolved.According to the complaint, Nathan Allman was the CEO, sole director, and controlling shareholder of Ondo at the time of his death, and his voting rights could not be exercised until his mother, Kathleen Allman, was formally appointed as the estate representative through the Hawaiian probate process on June 26. The estate alleges that De Bode claimed to automatically become CEO and appointed himself as the sole director before this, taking actions such as hiring consultants and approving performance grants.After obtaining the voting rights, Kathleen Allman voted to remove De Bode from all positions and appointed herself as chairwoman and interim CEO during the board meeting on July 24. De Bode responded that he regretted the lawsuit filed by Allman, stating that her claims lack basis, and that the company still has the support of major investors and key stakeholders such as the Ondo Foundation. The court has not yet ruled on the related allegations, and the aforementioned documents only reflect the statements of the estate.

In the Kyiv region, 16 people have died, and the number of injured has risen to 36.The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have damaged three ships near Odessa and disrupted logistics hubs in Kyiv and its surrounding areas. In addition, French President Macron and European Commission President von der Leyen both stated that they would continue to increase pressure on Russia, with the latter also mentioning that an additional 1.4 billion euros would be allocated to Ukraine from the profits of frozen Russian assets.

On August 5, 2026, BNB Chain officially launched the Build the Era open hackathon, aimed at individual developers and teams, soliciting proposals for building the best AI Agent trading market on the BNB Smart Chain. Currently, over 200,000 AI Agents based on the ERC-8004 standard have been registered on the BNB Smart Chain, accounting for about 60% of the total number of similar Agents across 26 networks, but there is a lack of a unified entry point for discovery, comparison, and invocation. This hackathon aims to fill this discoverability gap.The total prize pool for this hackathon exceeds $40,000, jointly provided by BNB Chain and ecosystem partners such as TermiX, PancakeSwap, AltLayer, and Altana. Among them, the champion of the main track from BNB Chain will receive a reward equivalent to 30,000 USDT and have the opportunity to be officially adopted as the trading market for BNB Agent Studio, incubated and operated as an independent product. TermiX has set aside a partner track prize of 10,000 USDT, PancakeSwap offers 1,000 CAKE, AltLayer provides the 8004scan Pro solution and AltLLM credits, and Altana offers 50,000 XP.The submission period for works is from August 5 to September 9, with the evaluation period from September 9 to 23, and the winners will be announced on November 5. BNB Chain reminds developers to build markets around four types of Agents: monitoring, grid trading, health factor management, and yield optimization, and suggests that the market should have cross-category coverage capabilities.

According to Counterpoint Research analysis, if the proposed import ban on Chinese optical modules by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States is implemented, it will primarily impact American cloud providers rather than Chinese suppliers. InnoLight leads the global data center optical module revenue with approximately 27% market share, while Coherent ranks second with about 17%. Chinese manufacturers collectively account for about two-thirds of the global unit supply and approximately 60% of the optical communication module revenue.The analysis points out that Western suppliers like Coherent and Lumentum lack sufficient cleanroom capacity, automated packaging infrastructure, and yield scale in the short term, making it impossible to fill the capacity gap left by Chinese manufacturers within 12-24 months. This could lead to delays in AI cluster deployments by several quarters and increase material costs for cloud providers. At the same time, Chinese module manufacturers rely on high-end 800G/1.6T module revenue from North American hyperscale customers for over 90%, but have achieved partial capacity relocation by establishing factories in Thailand.Counterpoint emphasizes that the optical module supply chain is a highly interdependent system. Chinese manufacturers heavily procure DSP chips from Broadcom and Marvell, as well as lasers and optical chips from Lumentum, Coherent, and Mitsubishi Electric. A forced separation would disrupt the entire ecosystem.

Eliza Labs founder Shaw Walters announced that the ai16z/ElizaOS token is officially "dead," and the related foundation will be closing. The reason is that the law firm Burwick Law initiated a class action lawsuit on behalf of the holders, and the foundation chose to settle due to its inability to bear the litigation costs, compensating all remaining treasury funds.Shaw stated that he has never sold ai16z tokens, has never profited from them, and only receives the same basic salary as engineers, currently living off savings. He emphasized that he will continue to develop the underlying technology of Eliza but made it clear that no tokens will be associated with Eliza anymore and advised holders to handle their tokens independently, as the foundation will not provide any buyback support.
