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.

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.

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 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.

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.

SBF wrote to New York Judge Lewis Kaplan, announcing the temporary withdrawal of the Rule 33 motion for a retrial. SBF stated that he needed to focus on answering the judge's question about whether his lawyers were involved in drafting the motion, and he believed he could not receive a fair hearing before that judge, so he decided to withdraw the motion. He plans to reserve the right to resubmit the motion after a ruling on the direct appeal and the related request for reassignment of the judge.Previously, SBF was sentenced to 25 years in prison for defrauding clients and investors. In his letter, he confirmed that the motion was primarily completed through his independent legal research and drafting while in Brooklyn prison, with his parents only providing editorial suggestions and assistance with printing.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr stated on social media that the current price of Bitcoin has risen above its fair value, and the market structure has significantly changed compared to two weeks ago.Axel Adler Jr pointed out that two weeks ago, the market was in a bearish dominant phase, with the price of Bitcoin below its fair value, and the model he used was also in a "Bear Regime" state. As of now, this structure has completely reversed—prices have risen above fair value, and the bears' control over the market has come to an end.

According to China News Network, the "3·15" gala reported on the "poisoning" chaos of AI large models. Li Fumin, an expert from the Institute of Intelligent Social Governance at Shandong University of Finance and Economics, stated that the behavior of businesses conducting targeted training on large models through services like GEO to guide AI in generating specific product or service recommendations is essentially a new form of unfair competition and consumer misleading behavior that uses technical means for covert marketing and fabricating facts. This leads consumers to receive implanted marketing content without their knowledge, and its harmfulness and illegality need to be taken seriously.On one hand, the above behavior infringes upon the consumers' right to know and the right to fair trade as stipulated by the Consumer Rights Protection Law. On the other hand, it constitutes false or misleading commercial promotion using technical means, disrupting the normal order of recommendation algorithms and the market competition environment, thereby forming unfair competition.The governance of the above AI poisoning behavior requires a multi-faceted approach. Regulatory authorities should include AI-induced marketing in key monitoring and strengthen law enforcement supervision; AI operators should enhance the review of source materials and output filtering, and establish traceability mechanisms; consumers should improve their awareness of the commercial nature of AI-generated information and actively protect their rights through complaints and reports.

Some neighboring countries of Iran have closed their airspace, and international flights have been suspended. Chinese citizens have already been injured in the attacks, and some temporary travelers are stranded locally.The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminds Chinese citizens to closely monitor the situation and to refrain from traveling to countries and regions around Iran that are affected by military strikes. Chinese citizens already in the aforementioned countries and regions should further enhance their security precautions and avoid sensitive areas such as military facilities and protests.

According to two people familiar with the matter, the Federal Reserve is expected to appoint Randall Guynn as the new Director of Regulatory Affairs. This veteran Wall Street figure, who has deep ties to the banking industry, will oversee industry regulation. Guynn was a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell and has represented several large U.S. banks. He will succeed Michael Gibson, who announced his retirement last July after more than thirty years at the Federal Reserve. Since May 2025, Guynn has served as an advisor to Federal Reserve Governor and Vice Chair for Supervision, Michelle Bowman.According to sources, Guynn's appointment plan still requires a vote by the Federal Reserve's seven-member Board of Governors. The specific timing of this closed-door vote has not yet been determined. After taking office, he will continue to report to Bowman. Choosing Guynn as the Director of Regulatory Affairs will mark a significant shift in the Federal Reserve's personnel arrangements, as this position has been held by long-serving internal staff since at least 1977.
