Tron founder Justin Sun stated that his lawsuit against World Liberty Financial (@worldlibertyfi) superficially involves a commercial dispute of $45 million and 4 billion tokens, but fundamentally concerns the founding principles of blockchain. He pointed out that the industry is built on the principle of "your keys, your coins," meaning that everyone can truly own their assets without permission.Justin Sun indicated that the case exposes the other party's secret embedding of the power to arbitrarily freeze user assets in the contract, which was not disclosed, lacked governance, and lacked procedures, and was exercised within days of unlocking their tokens. He believes this contradicts the name of "freedom"; if the issuer can confiscate holders' assets at any time, blockchain will be no different from the old world. He will pursue the lawsuit to the end, not only to recover assets but also to establish a precedent in court that "your assets must truly belong to you."

Marvell Technology submitted documents to the U.S. SEC disclosing that the company has expanded its custom semiconductor collaboration with Google. The two parties signed a commercial agreement on July 29, covering AI inference accelerators, storage controllers, network interface controllers, memory interface controllers, and near-memory computing products related to the Google TPU ecosystem.As part of the collaboration, Marvell issued warrants to Google, allowing it to purchase up to approximately 58.97 million shares of the company's common stock at a price of $206.58 per share, with a total exercise value of about $12.2 billion. Approximately 1.36 million shares will vest over the first year, while the remaining shares will vest in batches based on Google's future revenue from custom product purchases (one batch for every $500 million in revenue), lasting until the fiscal year 2033, corresponding to a potential cumulative revenue cap of about $120 billion. Following the announcement, Marvell's stock price surged over 11%, while competitor Broadcom's stock price fell. Analysts believe this move strengthens Marvell's position in the custom chip sector for hyperscale cloud vendors.

The lawsuit targets the newspaper's reports regarding Binance covering up internal investigations, obstructing compliance, and allowing sanctioned entities to trade.In the motion to dismiss, The Wall Street Journal stated that Binance's complaint from March 2026 failed to prove actual malice at the time the relevant reports were published.

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.

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.

The focus of the dispute between the two parties centers on employee mobility, intellectual property protection, and competition in the AI hardware sector.
