Предвыборный сезон в США близится к завершению, и суперполитический комитет (PAC) криптоиндустрии добился успеха в нескольких ключевых округах. Fairshake, поддерживаемый такими основными спонсорами, как Coinbase, Ripple и a16z, уже помог около 50 кандидатам получить номинацию, включая демократа из Массачусетса Джейка Аучинкло́сса, а также республиканских кандидатов в сенаторы из Алабамы Барри Мура, Кентукки Энди Барра, Оклахомы Кевина Херна и Вайоминга Харриет Хагеман. Прогнозные рынки Polymarket и Kalshi показывают, что вероятность победы этих кандидатов на выборах в целом превышает 94%.Представитель Fairshake Джефф Веттер сообщил, что организация зарезервировала 122 миллиона долларов на осенние выборы. Однако Fairshake также столкнулся с крупнейшим на сегодняшний день поражением в Иллинойсе, потратив более 10 миллионов долларов на попытку остановить демократа Джулиану Страттон от получения номинации, но не добившись успеха. Кроме того, Fellowship PAC, поддерживаемый Cantor Fitzgerald и Anchorage Digital, фактически потратил около 11 миллионов долларов, что значительно ниже ранее заявленных 100 миллионов долларов; Фонд цифровой свободы, в который вложили 21 миллион долларов братья Уинклевоссы, пока не вмешивался в поддержку конкретных кандидатов.

Политический комитет действий, поддерживающий криптовалютную индустрию, Fairshake, аффилированный с Protect Progress PAC, вложил около 189 тысяч долларов в медийную рекламу перед первичными выборами в 4-м округе Конгресса Массачусетса, поддерживая переизбрание демократа Джейка Аучинкло́сса. Записи Федеральной избирательной комиссии (FEC) показывают, что этот расход является последним шагом Fairshake в вмешательстве в выборы 2026 года, организация ранее потратила более 130 миллионов долларов на рекламу и медиа-продвижение в ходе выборов 2024 года.Первичные выборы в Массачусетсе назначены на вторник местного времени. Демократический кандидат Джейсон Пулос 16 августа направил письмо Аучинкло́ссу с просьбой "публично осудить" вмешательство Protect Progress. Пулос утверждает, что часть средств была использована для создания "AI-сгенерированного спама", поддерживающего Аучинкло́сса, и указывает, что с 2020 года последний получил 77,5 тысяч долларов в виде прямых пожертвований от источников криптоиндустрии, а также голосовал за Законопроект о ясности на рынке цифровых активов в июле 2025 года, который в настоящее время рассматривается Сенатом и еще не подписан в закон.Fairshake и его аффилированные организации в августе вложили около 3,6 миллиона долларов в выборы в Конгресс в Аляске, Флориде и Вайоминге, Fairshake сообщает, что перед промежуточными выборами 2026 года у них есть около 122 миллионов долларов наличными. Массачусетс станет одним из последних штатов США, проводящих первичные выборы в этом году, всего за два месяца до всеобщих выборов в ноябре.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, управляющий партнер Fairlead Strategies Кэти Стоктон заявила, что биткойн больше не находится в состоянии перепроданности, но еще не достиг состояния перекупленности. Она отметила, что биткойн в мае преодолел 200-дневную скользящую среднюю, потенциальный прорыв может быть на подходе. На прошлой неделе биткойн начал расти на фоне новостей о том, что Министерство финансов США как минимум удвоит объем операций по поддержке ликвидности, за неделю он вырос более чем на 22%, а последняя цена сделки составила около 78,915 долларов, в понедельник он преодолел 81,000 долларов.В июне и июле биткойн большую часть времени торговался ниже 65,000 долларов и пережил наименьшую волатильность за 17 лет. Аналитики считают, что так называемая "торговля на обесценение" может вновь активизироваться, то есть инвесторы покупают активы, когда считают, что фиатная валюта обесценивается. Доллар упал после объявления Министерства финансов, золото и биткойн начали расти. Американские инвесторы на прошлой неделе вновь хлынули в биткойн ETF, приток средств составил почти 2 миллиарда долларов.Кроме того, президент Трамп на прошлой неделе встретился в Белом доме с криптоэкспертами и заявил, что продвижение Закона о ясности (Clarity Act) поможет США сохранить лидерство. Голосование по этому законопроекту, которое изначально планировалось на август, теперь отложено до сентября и создаст рамки для различения цифровых активов, таких как ценные бумаги, товары и стабильные монеты.

Согласно сообщениям ChainCatcher и CoinDesk, генеральный директор поставщика инфраструктуры на основе блокчейна Fairmint Жорис Делану заявил, что процветание токенизированных акций может вновь напомнить цифровую версию "бумажного кризиса" на Уолл-стрит в конце 60-х годов. В то время объем торгов акциями в США резко возрос, и бэк-офис, полагающийся на бумажные сертификаты акций, не справлялся с нагрузкой, увеличилось количество сбоев в расчетах, и Нью-Йоркская фондовая биржа временно приостановила торговлю в среду, чтобы очистить накопившиеся дела, что в конечном итоге привело к реформам инфраструктуры, таким как центральное хранение и трастовые компании.Делану отметил, что основная проблема заключается в том, будет ли эта цифровая версия кризиса воспроизведена. Биржи, специальные цели (SPV), упаковка токенов и собственные реестры могут разорвать записи о праве собственности в процессе роста токенизированных акций. Некоторые продукты предоставляют лишь экономическую экспозицию к базовым акциям, а не юридическое право собственности, и инвесторы могут полагаться на посредников, сталкиваясь с неопределенностью в отношении прав голоса, дивидендов и требований на активы, если у эмитента или SPV возникнут проблемы. Глобальный рынок токенизированных акций увеличился с менее чем 500 миллионов долларов в конце первого квартала до примерно 2 миллиардов долларов.

According to The Block, regarding the gradual shutdown of the Cardano ecosystem data analysis and infrastructure platform TapTools, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responded that TapTools is another loss in the ecosystem following JPG Store, and warned of a potential "wave of failures," expecting more projects to shut down, DeFi operations to cease, and industry consolidation in the second half of the year.He stated that some older projects no longer have investment value, resources to support struggling projects are limited, and he lacks direct control over ecosystem funding decisions and treasury allocation.

SpaceX disclosed in its latest S-1 filing that it holds approximately 18,712 bitcoins, with a current market value of about $1.4 billion, significantly higher than previous market expectations, with a cost of about $661 million. This bitcoin holding has become an important component of SpaceX's balance sheet, accounting for about 1.8% of total assets, making it one of the major corporate bitcoin holders, second only to a few institutions.The more critical issue lies in the financial volatility risk brought about by accounting treatment. Analysts say that measuring bitcoin at fair value will cause its price fluctuations to be directly reflected in the financial reports each quarter, potentially leading to significant profit volatility unrelated to core business (rocket launches, satellite business), creating significant "accounting noise." Market participants believe that this mechanism may make it more difficult for investors to assess SpaceX's true operational performance, with the bitcoin holding potentially evolving from a "strategic reserve asset" to a key variable affecting the stability of financial reports.

Coinbase released a retrospective report on the large-scale service interruption event on May 7, 2026.The outage lasted approximately 8 hours, with full recovery taking about 12 hours. During this time, trading, deposits, withdrawals, and most core services were unavailable or severely degraded. Coinbase stated that the outage was caused by multiple cooling units failing simultaneously in the cooling system of a data center in one availability zone (use1-az4) in the AWS us-east-1 region, triggering cabinet thermal protection shutdowns, which led to EC2 instances and EBS volumes going offline, affecting multiple internet services.During the recovery process, the Coinbase trading matching engine lost quorum due to the cluster architecture deployed in a single AWS data center losing most nodes. It required urgent code adjustments and the reconstruction of a new node group to restore operation, gradually restarting market trading during the recovery.Additionally, the AWS-managed Kafka (MSK) service experienced control plane failures, preventing the automatic re-election of partition leaders, further blocking quotes, fees, and some settlement and data flow systems, which expanded the overall impact.After manual partition migration in collaboration with the AWS engineering team, the system gradually returned to normal. Coinbase stated that this incident exposed its shortcomings in cross-availability zone automatic switching capabilities and disaster recovery for managed middleware. The company will upgrade its cross-region hot backup architecture, strengthen regular failure drills, and migrate the Kafka system from dual availability zones to a three availability zone deployment, while also working with AWS to advance root cause fixes and improvements.

According to The Block, the Cardano Foundation stated that the Cardano 2026 summit, originally scheduled for this year, has been officially canceled due to the on-chain governance vote not reaching the required two-thirds support threshold.Previously, the Cardano Foundation submitted a revised proposal requesting the treasury to allocate 7.8 million ADA (approximately 2 million USD) for the summit to be held in October in Singapore. Although the proposal received a 65.21% DRep staking support rate and a majority of representatives in favor, it did not meet the 66.67% approval threshold required for treasury funding proposals.Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard publicly called for support for the proposal before the voting deadline, but it ultimately did not pass.

According to Cambodian media KohsantepheapDaily, a 53-year-old Chinese real estate company owner, Yang Weixin, was kidnapped by a criminal gang in Phnom Penh. The suspects demanded a ransom of 2 million dollars in cryptocurrency from the victim's wife via the victim's phone in the early hours of May 30. After failing to receive the ransom, they subsequently killed the victim and abandoned the body in a car.Surveillance footage shows that three suspects forcibly took the victim away from his residence parking lot on the evening of May 29. Local police have confirmed that the case is classified as kidnapping for ransom resulting in death, and the investigation is ongoing.

The Huobi HTX VIP private class "AI + Trading from Theory to Practice" was held in Shanghai, where early Bitcoin miner and pyra.io CTO Tian Jia shared the development of quantum computing and the impact of AI on trading.He believes that in the AI era, investors are more equitable in "gaining knowledge," such as establishing institutional-level trading frameworks. However, in "trading competition," it is less equitable, such as training institutional-level trading models. The real enhancement of fairness comes from AI lowering the cognitive threshold, while the true unfairness expands from the concentration of data, speed, capital, and platform manipulation capabilities.

According to Coindesk, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has once again harshly criticized Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and warned that if lawmakers do not address traditional banks' concerns about stablecoin regulation, the latest version of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act may ultimately fail. Dimon believes that the bill would allow stablecoin issuers to effectively pay interest on deposits without bank-like protections and predicts that if adopted as is, the bill "will ultimately fail."

According to Cointelegraph, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, ICE, is calling on regulators to create a fair competitive environment that allows licensed institutions to launch around-the-clock on-chain perpetual contracts. ICE executives stated that platforms like Hyperliquid are already conducting related trades, while traditional institutions are unable to follow suit due to regulatory restrictions.ICE has begun discussions with Hyperliquid to explore the collaborative space between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency industry. In addition, ICE recently partnered with OKX to launch oil-related perpetual contracts and is working with institutions to build a blockchain securities trading system, fully laying out a 7×24 hour on-chain trading business.

In mid-2026, multiple data points indicate that AI tools are generating significant hidden costs. A survey by Entelligence AI of 2,444 companies found that for every $1 spent on AI, $0.44 is used to fix vulnerabilities, $0.27 is spent on rewriting AI-generated code, and $0.11 is consumed by audit and merge delays.The 2026 report from Lightrun further notes that 43% of AI-generated code still requires manual debugging in production environments after passing quality checks, and no surveyed engineering leaders expressed complete trust in the AI outputs that have been deployed.On the infrastructure front, Oracle has accumulated approximately $108 billion in total debt and is raising another $50 billion in 2026 for AI data center construction, with free cash flow nearing negative $13 billion. Over $300 billion of its $553 billion backlog is concentrated in OpenAI, which incurred a loss of about $14 billion last year. In terms of talent, OKX CEO Stax Xu stated that AI agents have exposed employees who rely on impression management rather than outcome production while accelerating execution. The exchange has now incorporated AI proficiency into its employee evaluation system.

Cuban stated, "Every time the dollar falls, Bitcoin should rise... but it just doesn't." He candidly expressed disappointment with Bitcoin but maintains a relatively positive attitude towards Ethereum, referring to most other cryptocurrencies as "garbage." Previously, Cuban had publicly stated that about 60% of his crypto asset portfolio is in Bitcoin, which he has held long-term without selling.

Lighter officially stated on X that it has completed the escape mechanism verification conducted by the third party L2BEAT, which means that even if the sequencer at the L2 level fails, users can withdraw funds from Lighter's L2 back to Ethereum in a permissionless manner. It is the first L2 Perp DEX in the industry to achieve this functionality.

According to FinanceFeeds, digital asset investment firm NYDIG has warned that if the U.S. Market Structure Bill does not make substantial progress in Congress before the August recess, the likelihood of its passage may significantly decrease.NYDIG stated that the current bipartisan political consensus around the cryptocurrency regulatory framework may only be a "brief window." If the bill fails to advance in the coming months, after Congress reconvenes, lawmakers' attention may shift to the midterm elections, fiscal budgets, and partisan political issues, causing the priority of cryptocurrency legislation to decline significantly.The report noted that the bill is seen as one of the most important attempts at cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S. to date, with core content including clarifying the classification of digital assets, delineating the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, and establishing unified operational standards for exchanges and cryptocurrency businesses. However, key issues such as stablecoin regulation, DeFi regulation, consumer protection, and conflicts of political interest still have significant disagreements, leading to slow negotiation progress.NYDIG pointed out that long-term regulatory uncertainty is driving capital, talent, and innovation toward regions with clearer regulations, such as the UAE, Singapore, and the EU. The cryptocurrency industry is concerned that if this legislative window is missed again, the U.S. may repeat the regulatory stalemate of the past few years.

According to Cointelegraph, NYDIG research director Greg Cipolaro stated that if the U.S. Senate's cryptocurrency market structure bill does not pass before August, it may completely fail after the midterm elections. Cipolaro pointed out that the Senate Banking Committee passed the bill along party lines last week, but it needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate. Congress will be in recess from late July to early September, and then enter the pre-midterm election period, making it unlikely that Senate leadership will schedule a controversial 60-vote vote.If this window is missed, the most likely path is a post-election lame-duck session. If the Democrats control the Senate after the midterm elections, the current Republican-supported bill is unlikely to advance in the new Congress in January. Cipolaro stated that lawmakers face a choice: either accept an imperfect bipartisan framework or confront a drastically different legislative environment after the midterm elections. The White House's cryptocurrency advisors previously aimed to pass the bill by July 4, but Cipolaro believes a more realistic window is from June to early August.

According to Axios, American Republicans are increasingly dissatisfied with the flow of political donations in the cryptocurrency industry, demanding that the pro-crypto super PAC Fairshake, which holds about $165 million in funds, clarify its stance and focus on supporting Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections.Republicans pointed out that, against the backdrop of significant progress in promoting pro-crypto legislation such as the CLARITY Act, Fairshake has yet to announce specific election investment plans, which is disappointing. The points of contention include:Ohio Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown: Fairshake spent over $40 million in 2024 to defeat incumbent Senator Brown, but Brown's attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry has noticeably softened in recent years.New Hampshire Congressman Chris Pappas: His Stand With Crypto rating rose from "F" to "A" within 8 months, and Republicans initially expected Fairshake to focus on his campaign.In response, Fairshake supporters stated that it is still too early to speak out and emphasized that the PAC is bipartisan in nature, aiming to "reward supporters and punish critics," rather than unconditionally supporting a particular party. Some pro-crypto Republicans (such as the Winklevoss brothers) have established separate independent groups specifically to support Republican candidates.

According to The Washington Post, U.S. President Donald Trump failed to disclose his multi-million dollar stock trades involving companies like Microsoft and Amazon within the legal deadline, with delays lasting several months. He has been fined $200 as a result, according to the latest investment disclosure documents.The report noted that these trades involved several large technology and financial stocks, with disclosure information indicating that the scale of his asset operations reached "the tens of millions of dollars." The delay in related disclosures has raised concerns about whether he strictly adhered to federal financial disclosure regulations.According to the requirements of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, federal officials must report significant financial transactions within the specified deadline, but there are issues with delays in actual enforcement and relatively light penalties.
