Dutch crypto finance protocol Tori Finance announced that its institutional-grade Delta neutral yield product strUSD has completed a $50 million pre-deposit fundraising before its official launch, reaching the cap in just 7 days. Tori stated that strUSD offers an annualized yield of approximately 12%, with returns derived from global arbitrage trading strategies traditionally used by financial institutions, rather than from the circulation of funds in the crypto market. This strategy achieves low correlation with crypto market cycles by borrowing in low-interest currencies, investing in high-interest markets, and utilizing foreign exchange hedging to lock in dollar returns.Tori founder Samed Duzcay mentioned that such trades were previously mainly participated in by large institutions like pension funds and banks, which typically required a funding threshold of tens of millions of dollars and involved complex processes such as local bank accounts, custody, tax, and compliance approvals. Tori opens up these institutional strategies to ordinary users through on-chain tokenization. Users can deposit USDC or USDT to obtain the synthetic dollar asset trUSD and stake to earn strUSD. This asset is based on the ERC-20 standard and can be integrated with DeFi protocols such as Morpho, Pendle, and Curve, and can also be used as collateral for lending to further amplify returns.Tori claims that the protocol constructs an on-chain balance sheet through zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments, with independent verification agency Accountable conducting real-time audits of off-chain fund situations; digital asset investment firm RockawayX serves as the risk management party and anchor liquidity provider. Additionally, Tori's smart contracts have been audited by Sherlock and Nethermind, and Hypernative has been introduced for round-the-clock security monitoring, with all contract upgrades set to a 24-hour delay mechanism. Tori stated that its goal is to bring the neutral yield strategies used by traditional financial institutions for decades into the on-chain financial system, promoting the integration of real yields with DeFi infrastructure.

According to The Defiant, the tokenization platform Securitize Corp. (NYSE: SECZ) subsidiary Securitize Capital LLC has registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. SEC, effective July 22. This subsidiary had previously operated in Florida as an exempt reporting advisor since March 2023, only able to serve venture capital funds or private funds managed in the U.S. with assets under $150 million; this registration removes that limit.Reports indicate that this license completes Securitize's compliance matrix surrounding tokenized securities, with its U.S. affiliates now covering registered investment advisors, registered broker-dealers and alternative trading systems, transfer agents, and fund management. The registration also occurred five days after SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce warned that on-chain treasury and lending strategies might touch upon investment advisor regulatory issues on July 22.U.S. stock market data shows that SECZ fell nearly 10% during trading on Monday, currently reported at $6.76 per share, with a total market capitalization of about $1 billion.

NVIDIA released the open-source AI model NVIDIA Ising Calibration 1.5, designed for the automatic analysis of quantum processor (QPU) diagnostic data, and to autonomously determine device calibration schemes, achieving automation of the quantum computer calibration process. NVIDIA stated that Ising Calibration 1.5 is a visual language model (VLM) specifically designed for quantum computing calibration scenarios, capable of understanding experimental data from quantum chips and performing "zero-shot" analysis in the absence of historical cases, while also enabling context learning (ICL) with relevant experimental samples to help continuously optimize the operational state of quantum devices.In the QCalEval quantum calibration benchmark test, Ising Calibration 1.5 averaged about 10% ahead of similarly sized open-source models in zero-shot inference capability, and when using relevant experimental cases for context learning, it showed an approximately 86.5% performance improvement over the previous generation model, surpassing multiple open-source models and approaching the level of top closed-source large models. The model has 31 billion parameters and supports operation on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin data center GPUs. It also launched an NVFP4 quantized version, which can be deployed on a single consumer-grade GPU or NVIDIA DGX Spark, significantly lowering the usage threshold for quantum laboratories.NVIDIA claims that the training data for Ising Calibration 1.5 comes from various qubit architectures, including superconducting qubits, quantum dots, ions, neutral atoms, and helium surface electrons, providing calibration capabilities for different types of quantum computing devices. Industry experts believe that automated calibration is one of the key bottlenecks in the scalable development of quantum computing. NVIDIA's launch of this AI-driven quantum calibration tool signifies that AI models are beginning to extend from traditional computing domains into the quantum hardware control layer, potentially becoming an important component of the future quantum computing industry infrastructure.

Ondo Finance announced the launch of the new Ondo Network, positioned as a high-performance execution layer, aimed at combining the trading speed of centralized exchanges (CEX) with the non-custodial and secure settlement capabilities of blockchain. Ondo CEO Ian De Bode stated that the Ondo Network is an "evolutionary version" of the previous Ondo Chain plan, and the company will not operate two networks simultaneously, but will adjust the original plan of building a complete blockchain to focus on the execution layer architecture.According to reports, Ondo initially planned to fully bring real-world assets on-chain through Ondo Chain, but after developing the Ondo Perps perpetual contract trading platform and communicating with users, it was found that the current market's core bottleneck is not asset settlement, but rather trading execution efficiency. The Ondo Network adopts a separated architecture for execution, verification, and settlement, utilizing secure hardware to isolate the execution environment, which enhances trading speed while maintaining user asset self-custody, verifiable transactions, and permissionless blockchain characteristics.Currently, Ondo Perps has become the first application built on this network, supporting 24-hour trading of stocks and commodity perpetual contracts, and allowing the use of tokenized real assets as collateral. Ondo stated that in the future, this network will also support applications requiring high performance, privacy protection, and verifiable execution, such as spot trading, lending, and structured products. Furthermore, the launch of the Ondo Network will not change the positioning of the ONDO token. The CEO stated that ONDO will continue to serve as the governance and incentive token for the Ondo RWA ecosystem and market infrastructure, and as the network gradually decentralizes, ONDO will be used to coordinate the incentive mechanisms for verification nodes, observers, and ecosystem participants.

Ethereum's largest liquid staking protocol Lido announced the launch of the largest protocol upgrade since the V2 upgrade in 2023, which will integrate over 8 million staked ETH (approximately $16.5 billion) and migrate to the new validator architecture following the Ethereum Pectra upgrade. This migration is expected to reduce the number of Ethereum network validators by about one-third, lowering the load on the consensus layer.Lido stated that after the upgrade is completed, the number of attestation messages per epoch across the entire Ethereum network is expected to decrease by about 29%, thereby improving network operational efficiency. This upgrade will migrate professional node operators to the Curated Module v2 (CMv2) architecture. Unlike before, which mainly relied on operator reputation and historical performance, CMv2 requires Lido-selected node operators to lock ETH as collateral for the first time, providing economic guarantees for node operational performance.Lido indicated that all 34 selected node operators are expected to complete the migration, and no operators have exited due to the new collateral requirements. Lido's staking lead Isidoros Passadis stated that this upgrade will streamline the validator set supporting Lido's core staking business while enhancing security through capital constraints. Lido expects that this migration will result in a decrease of approximately 0.28% in annual staking yields for the protocol. Validators will continue to earn rewards before exiting the migration, with any yield loss likely occurring only during the brief period before balances are transferred to the new validators.

According to data from RootData's stock perpetual contract exchange rankings, nearly 30 exchanges that have launched stock perpetual contracts still significantly adhere to the trading rhythm of traditional stock markets: trading volume drops sharply on weekends, and the morning session on Monday warms up as the traditional market approaches recovery, but has not yet returned to the intensity of a full trading day.Comparing trading days with non-trading days, the 24h trading volume of stock perpetual contracts dropped from approximately $39.078 billion to $4.896 billion, a decrease of about 87.5%. However, during the same period, the open interest slightly increased from $10.139 billion to $10.262 billion, indicating that positions have not been withdrawn on a large scale; what has truly decreased is active trading and turnover. A snapshot taken on the morning of Monday, July 27, shows that the 24h trading volume rebounded to $10.617 billion, an increase of about 116.8% compared to Sunday, indicating that market activity is recovering.In terms of liquidity, the weighted market depth (±2%) decreased from approximately $58.92 million to about $47.83 million, a decline of about 18.8%; it rebounded to around $55.68 million on Monday morning, nearing trading day levels. This indicates that the speed of order book recovery is faster than that of actual trading recovery, and market depth has not plummeted as sharply as trading volume.From the performance of exchanges, leading platforms such as Binance, OKX, and Bitget maintained relatively narrow spreads and strong depth on Monday morning; Hyperliquid performed well in rankings, but its trading volume was still below trading day levels; some long-tail platforms still face issues with excessively wide spreads, making it temporarily impossible to assess true liquidity.RootData Research believes that the most prominent value of these stock perpetual contract exchanges is to allow stock risks to be traded, priced, and hedged even on non-trading days of the traditional stock market. The traditional stock market is closed on weekends, with official prices remaining at the previous trading day's closing price, while stock perpetual contract exchanges still have trading, open interest, order books, and spreads on Sundays, indicating that crypto exchanges have broken through the "trading time" limitations of stocks.However, from the current data, they are participating in expected pricing rather than official pricing, making them more suitable for expressing events, emotions, macroeconomic changes, and risk preference shifts on non-trading days. Due to decreased trading volume over the weekend, widened spreads, and some platforms having abnormal data metrics, they currently resemble a "stock pre-opening price discovery layer," having participated in stock pricing but not yet obtaining the primary pricing power of the traditional stock market, nor have they surpassed the liquidity of the traditional stock market.
