James urged cryptocurrency platforms to comply with anti-money laundering, know your customer, cybersecurity, and market monitoring requirements, and to take financial responsibility for preventable fraud. Her office has received nearly three times the number of cryptocurrency fraud complaints in the past three years, with related losses approaching $500 million over the past five years.

According to the Financial Times, after three years of record low stagnation, Chinese venture capital firms are accelerating the fundraising of new funds, seeking to capitalize on investors' renewed interest in the Chinese technology sector.Data from Asante Capital shows that at least 60 new dollar funds are planning to raise a total of about $35 billion, of which about 40 are venture capital funds. HSG, IDG Capital, Matrix Partners China, and Ming Shi Capital are promoting new funds or preparing to start fundraising, while ZhenFund and Qiming Venture Partners have recently completed fundraising.The successful listings of technology companies such as Zhipu and MiniMax, as well as progress in projects like The Dark Side of the Moon, DeepSeek, and the robotics field, have prompted investors to refocus on Chinese technology. Some investors view allocating to Chinese AI as a way to hedge bets on the U.S. market, as Chinese companies are highly competitive on costs and offer lower-priced model services.However, market participants indicate that this does not mean Chinese venture capital has returned to a boom period, but rather that dollar fundraising has selectively restarted after three consecutive years of low levels.Preqin data shows that in 2022, a total of 1,105 China-related funds raised $150 billion, while in 2025, only 97 funds raised $13.6 billion.Currently, some large U.S. investors remain cautious due to restrictions on sensitive technology investments, while European and Middle Eastern funds show stronger interest. Investors are vying for more co-investment rights in the current "buyer’s market" and are demanding fund managers to invest more of their own capital. Meanwhile, a large amount of capital is competing for a limited number of high-confidence projects, particularly concentrated in the AI sector.

According to Thestreet, data center developer Nexus Data Centers is preparing approximately $15 billion in financing to build an AI data center campus located in Hubbard, Texas, which will be leased by Anthropic in the future. Morgan Stanley will lead the related bank financing.The report states that the financing entity is Nexus Data Centers, not Anthropic itself.Google will use its investment-grade credit rating to guarantee Anthropic's leasing obligations and related energy agreements, involving four data center leasing projects and a power purchase agreement for a 1.6 GW natural gas power plant.In exchange, Google is expected to receive about 20% equity in the data center and energy projects. Industry insiders believe that this deal reflects the increasing reliance of AI infrastructure construction on the balance sheets of large tech companies.A similar model was previously seen in the collaboration between NVIDIA and OpenAI, where chip or cloud computing giants provide credit support to help AI companies finance the construction of large-scale computing facilities.

According to a report by Hong Kong 01, "Fun Coffee," which claims to be rooted in Vietnam, just entered Hong Kong at the end of 2025 and was warned by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission in July 2026 for being a suspicious investment product. The company appears to be investing in the coffee business, but in reality, it is a virtual currency investment scam with annual interest rates as high as 222%, ultimately "collapsing" at the end of July.The victim group has over 370 people, with each person defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Multiple investment groups combined have a total of 4,000 people involved, with funds exceeding 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. A middle-aged woman in her 50s claims that she unknowingly became a shareholder and director of one of Fun Coffee's Hong Kong registered companies, and she has over a hundred "downlines." After being contacted by reporters, she has gone to the police to report the case. The police have received 115 reports, which have been handed over to the Commercial Crime Bureau's fraud investigation team for follow-up.The report states that Fun Coffee held a marathon event in Hong Kong at the end of last year, inviting artist Yuen Siu Cheung to host and distributing anti-fraud leaflets for promotion in various districts. The company's headquarters in Kowloon Bay and its storefront in Mong Kok are now empty, with notices of unpaid rent posted. The Securities and Futures Commission issued a warning on July 13, and the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security also warned in May that it is suspected to be a Ponzi scheme.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that Binance recorded a net outflow of approximately $2.2 billion in stablecoins in July, with Binance currently holding 70% of the exchange's stablecoin supply. Since the beginning of the year, Binance has accumulated a net outflow of $7 billion in stablecoins, confirming a trend of sharply shrinking demand that has never truly reversed.The analyst pointed out that the continuous outflow of stablecoins indicates that liquidity is fleeing the crypto market, with investors more inclined to withdraw funds rather than wait for redeployment, reflecting ongoing risk aversion rather than simple capital rotation between platforms. Despite the ongoing liquidity drain, Bitcoin remains stable above $60,000, demonstrating price resilience amid geopolitical and macroeconomic tensions. The analyst warned that the market needs to see a recovery in demand soon, or the pullback may continue.
