Arthur Hayes published a new article titled "Situationship," suggesting that the AI bubble may eventually burst, but its subsequent impact could drive global liquidity expansion and become a catalyst for the next Bitcoin bull market. Hayes believes that the key to determining whether AI is a bubble lies in how investors define AI infrastructure construction. He points out that the market generally views the trillions of dollars in AI capital expenditure as "technology investment" and assigns high growth valuations, but its essence is closer to "real estate investment."He states that the current AI infrastructure construction is actually about building data centers, power facilities, and other underlying assets that support computing power, rather than directly investing in technology companies like Apple. "Financial institutions, private credit funds, and governments may mistakenly believe that investing in AI data centers is equivalent to investing in tech giants, while in reality, it is more akin to investing in highly leveraged infrastructure projects." Hayes believes that the core reason for the AI bubble's burst is not that corporate profits cannot be realized, but rather excessive credit expansion. He indicates that, supported by the U.S. and Chinese governments, financial intermediaries may overbuild data centers, power facilities, and related supply chains, ultimately creating credit cycle risks similar to those of the 2008 financial crisis, rather than a profit valuation crisis like that of the 2000 internet bubble.However, Hayes believes that the long-term value of AI remains immense. He points out that the computing resources operating within data centers will drive the development of "silicon-based life," having a profound impact on human civilization similar to that of the railroad era. Regarding market impact, Hayes expects that after the AI bubble bursts, governments and central banks may adopt more aggressive monetary easing measures, repairing the financial system through "massive money printing," pushing risk assets back into an upward cycle, and ultimately benefiting Bitcoin. Hayes states that the core variable of the current AI cycle is whether the capital market has mispriced AI infrastructure, and this judgment will determine the future direction of the market.

According to Jinshi, U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen stated that the level of the yen exchange rate could trigger other issues, including depreciation.

According to Jinshi, former Bank of Japan committee member Atsushi Takeuchi stated that if there are signs of the yen weakening again, Japan and the United States will "definitely" take joint intervention actions once more. He pointed out that this joint action between the U.S. and Japan was highly effective, and the market has reached a consensus that the yen will not continue to weaken unilaterally.Takeuchi expects that the Japan-U.S. exchange rate may fluctuate in the range of 155 to 162 in the short term.

OpenAI issued a public statement on August 3 in response to the lawsuit filed by Apple. OpenAI described Apple's lawsuit as "careless, aggressive, and personal," and pointed out several factual inaccuracies: an external lawyer from Apple mistakenly sent an email intended for someone else to OpenAI's legal head, falsely claiming that the two parties had spoken over the phone; Apple later admitted it was due to "confusing two Asian surnames." OpenAI also revealed that after contacting Apple in February, Apple stated it was "working to resolve any issues," but then did not communicate for 5 months until filing the lawsuit.Regarding the allegations against former Apple employee Chang Liu for taking confidential information, OpenAI presented iMessage records from after his departure showing that Apple colleagues had proactively contacted him to request assistance in locating documents, and acknowledged that this was a common issue caused by Apple's "poor management of exit access." Another named executive, Tang Tan, had worked at Apple for over 24 years, and OpenAI stated that he had consistently required his team "not to use any confidential information from other companies." OpenAI indicated that it had proactively offered to cooperate in resolving the matter, but Apple chose to file a lawsuit, claiming that its request for a preliminary injunction was "based on false information and completely unnecessary." Previously, Apple sued OpenAI in July, accusing it of poaching Apple employees and using confidential information to develop AI products.

According to Cointelegraph, investment firm Bernstein stated that the prospects for the passage of the U.S. CLARITY Act are declining. If the Senate fails to advance the bill before the recess, it may trigger a short-term negative reaction in the market, putting further pressure on the valuations of Bitcoin and the overall crypto assets.Bernstein pointed out that the failure of the bill could lead to a market "instinctive sell-off," but in the medium to long term, it may also prompt the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to accelerate regulatory actions, including clarifying token classification rules, developing a regulatory framework for decentralized finance (DeFi), and advancing token issuance exemption mechanisms.Bernstein expects that the crypto market may bottom out between the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, gradually regaining momentum before the U.S. midterm elections.Currently, market expectations for the CLARITY Act to be signed into law by the end of 2026 continue to decline. Data from prediction platform Polymarket shows that the probability of the bill passing this year has dropped to 31%, down 7 percentage points from a week ago and down 9 percentage points from the past month, with related betting amounts around $3.7 million.The CLARITY Act aims to establish the first regulatory framework for the digital asset market in the U.S., but it faces opposition from the banking industry due to stablecoin yield provisions. Previously, Galaxy Digital had lowered the probability of the bill being enacted by 2026 to 50% and warned that the Senate's advancement timeline is shrinking.

According to Jinshi reports, on Monday, the dollar continued its downward trend due to joint intervention in the foreign exchange market by the U.S. and Japan, which supported the yen. Francesco Pesole, a foreign exchange strategist at ING, stated that the market's doubts about the new Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh's ability to combat inflation are the root cause of the dollar's weakness. He pointed out that many traders are considering establishing long-term short positions on the dollar, but believe that Japan's intervention is only a temporary measure, and the true determinant of the dollar's trend will still be the Federal Reserve's policy.Jefferies strategist Mohit Kumar stated that the pressure for interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve will continue to increase.

According to a report by Jinshi, the economic bulletin released by the European Central Bank on Monday pointed out that after the outbreak of the Iran war, household consumption in the Eurozone has significantly declined, mainly due to a sharp deterioration in consumer confidence. In April of this year, the decline in Eurozone consumption reached twice the historical trend forecast level, with the scale of impact comparable to the household consumption response after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in early 2022.Data shows that since mid-2024, the nominal consumption growth rate in the Eurozone has averaged around 3% to 4%, but in April of this year, it dropped to about 2.5% year-on-year. The slowdown in consumption is mainly driven by higher-income households reducing non-essential spending.

According to Jinshi News, the recent sharp rise of the yen has triggered a sell-off in the Japanese stock market on Monday, but analysts believe that the risk to corporate earnings is manageable. A survey by the Bank of Japan shows that the weighted average exchange rate assumption for the dollar against the yen adopted by companies is 151.49, and the current yen to dollar exchange rate is still about 5 yen away from this level.Yugo Tsuboi, Chief Strategist at Daiwa Securities, stated that unless the yen/dollar appreciates further to near the 150 level, the risk of downward adjustments to corporate earnings should be very small.

Binance co-founder CZ retweeted user Rager's experience about hardware wallet failures on the X platform. CZ stated that protecting the wallet backup seed phrase is a highly challenging task.The seed phrase cannot be seen by others, or it may be copied or exploited, and it must not be accidentally damaged by fire, flood, or other incidents, while also preventing hackers from gaining access. More importantly, users themselves must not lose the seed phrase.

Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue posted on the X platform in response to recent concerns about AI-driven cyberattacks. He pointed out that open models have helped defend against multiple attacks and that in the future, they could fend off millions of attacks daily, believing that AI will fundamentally strengthen cybersecurity.Delangue proposed three recommendations: mandatory sharing of traces from intelligent agent attacks and incident disclosure; keeping AI cyberattacks illegal and imposing severe penalties; and equipping defenders with open models to narrow the gap in offensive and defensive capabilities. He advocated for accelerating AI development rather than slowing it down at this stage.

As the suspected hacking incident involving the Coldcard wallet continues to unfold, Bitcoin microtransaction activity has surged, reaching its highest level since the FTX exchange collapse, prompting renewed discussions in the market about the security of self-custodied Bitcoin.CryptoQuant's research director Julio Moreno disclosed data showing that the number of Bitcoin transactions under 1 BTC circulating on-chain has risen to its highest level since November 2022, with approximately 39,600 BTC transferred in a single day, just about 300 BTC lower than the record set on November 16, 2022 (39,900 BTC) a few days after FTX filed for bankruptcy. He believes that users taking proactive measures to address risks is a positive sign.Additionally, Bloomberg ETF senior analyst Eric Balchunas believes that Bitcoin ETFs, with their mature regulatory framework and convenience, may provide a safer investment option for some users.

According to Daum, the South Korean stock market has recently experienced increased volatility, with investors' risk appetite significantly cooling, and funds are flowing back from the stock market to safer assets such as banks. Due to adjustments in the semiconductor sector and stricter regulations on leveraged investments, the funds waiting to be invested in the South Korean stock market are rapidly withdrawing, leading to a phenomenon of "reverse capital migration."Data shows that by the end of July, the balance of time deposits at the five major banks in South Korea (KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, NH Nonghyup) reached 973.49 trillion won, an increase of 24.09 trillion won compared to the end of the previous month, marking the largest monthly increase this year.There has also been a noticeable contraction in funds around the stock market. Data from the Korea Financial Investment Association shows that the deposits in investors' securities accounts (funds waiting to be invested in stock trading) reached a historical high of 139.69 trillion won on June 4, but had fallen to 107.20 trillion won by July 28, a decrease of over 32 trillion won in less than two months. The balance of credit trading financing, which represents the scale of market financing transactions, also dropped to 33.19 trillion won during the same period, down approximately 4.5 trillion won from the peak of 37.72 trillion won recorded on July 2, a decrease of about 12%.
