ViaBTC founder and CEO Yang Haibo stated: CoinEx is shutting down, but its hot wallet system is still relatively advanced and worth referencing in the industry. He introduced that CoinEx has implemented an MPC-based dual-signature scheme for its hot wallet to eliminate single points of failure.Yang Haibo mentioned that the relevant infrastructure is split into business systems and wallet systems, operated by completely independent teams, each holding one private key. Every withdrawal or transfer must be reviewed in real-time through substantial risk control by both parties, and even if one system is compromised, assets cannot be stolen.He added that the wallet signing process needs to be independently implemented and cannot rely on the native mechanisms of each node, which requires extensive reconstruction. The team spent over a year transforming the vast majority of nearly 300 chains supported by CoinEx one by one.

Payments industry publication PaymentsJournal has published a deep-dive article, Navigating Latin America’s Complex Payment Ecosystem, examining the region’s evolving payments landscape, including domestic payment rails, cross-border settlement, stablecoins and payment orchestration. The article draws on PhotonPay’s research report, The Next Payment Infrastructure in LATAM, as a reference for its analysis. The article highlights the highly fragmented nature of Latin America’s payments market, where countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Mexico have developed distinct payment systems, currencies, providers and regulatory frameworks. At the same time, stablecoins are gaining traction in cross-border payments, offering an additional layer for liquidity and settlement, while local payment rails remain essential for reaching businesses and consumers in individual markets. PaymentsJournal argues that the next phase of payment infrastructure in Latin America may not be about creating a single regional rail, but about connecting diverse local payment systems, currencies and global liquidity through a more unified infrastructure layer. In this model, stablecoins can facilitate cross-border movement and settlement of value, while payment orchestration connects and manages the local rails, providers and fund flows businesses need to navigate. PhotonPay’s research explores these infrastructure trends and the changing dynamics of payments across the region.

The Financial Times of the UK reports that Huawei is becoming more deeply involved in the domestic photolithography machine supply chain, not only investing in related equipment and component companies but also coordinating suppliers, wafer fabs, and complete machine manufacturers to promote domestic DUV into actual production lines. Bernstein analysts describe Huawei as the "project manager" for China's DUV projects.The fastest progress is being made by Shanghai Yuliangsheng. The company is involved in the development of domestic advanced DUV, with equipment already tested at wafer fabs such as SMIC and Huawei's own production lines, planning to produce 12 units by the end of this year. At this stage, the focus is primarily on simpler chips, with the ultimate goal of being used for advanced AI chip manufacturing.Currently, domestic DUV has not completely eliminated reliance on overseas supply chains. The projection lenses used by Yuliangsheng still come from Germany's Zeiss, and high-power light sources are also a major bottleneck. Huawei has invested in companies such as Qiqi Photon and Keyihongyuan to supplement domestic lenses and light sources.

In response to rumors on social media about "Doubao recommending hotels for a fee," Liu Xing, the head of public affairs for Doubao at ByteDance, stated on the evening of August 10 that the related statements are inaccurate. He indicated that Doubao's life service business currently does not have paid promotions, and Doubao does not charge advertising fees for hotel recommendations; merchants cannot influence recommendations or rankings through payment, and only pay channel service fees after an order is completed.Liu Xing pointed out that some platforms adopt a "commission + advertising" charging model, while Doubao primarily charges based on completed transactions at this stage, making direct comparisons inappropriate. For merchants, the actual channel costs and the effects of new orders are more meaningful references. He also mentioned that Doubao's life service business is still in a very early exploratory stage.
