(Market Data)

· BTC Price: $64,541 (24h +0.39%)

· Funding Rate: +0.0073%

· Fear & Greed Index: 25 (Extreme Fear)

(Key Event Preview)

· Trump stated that the US-Iran issue regarding the Strait of Hormuz will yield results within 48 hours, the strait may open on Wednesday or Thursday, and the geopolitical conflict premium faces a reassessment.

· The hawkish camp within the Federal Reserve is expanding. Among the 12 regional Fed presidents, 5 have publicly expressed support for rate hikes after the July meeting, believing that current policy restraint is insufficient and core inflation remains near 2.5%.

· The US Treasury Secretary stated that the US and Iran could reach an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as early as Wednesday, with the goal of announcing a 60-day temporary agreement as early as Wednesday, with all parties agreeing to clear mines within 30 days and achieve two-way passage.

 

 Palantir (Earnings Driven)

· Q2 revenue surged 93% YoY to $1.935 billion with raised guidance, and the stock soared nearly 30% after-hours. However, the "Big Short" Michael Burry still holds put options corresponding to 5 million shares, reflecting the extreme long-short tug-of-war over core AI targets.

 Key Catalyst: Strong earnings boosted AI sector sentiment, coupled with top short sellers holding their ground, intensifying the valuation game of the AI narrative.

 Strait of Hormuz Crude Oil (Geopolitical Safe Haven)

· The US and Iran are close to reaching a 60-day temporary agreement to reopen the strait and resume free navigation, with no transit fees charged during the initial period. The strait carries 20% of global oil transportation.

 Key Catalyst: Easing geopolitical risks have lifted global risk appetite, cooling expectations of energy supply disruptions.

 US Tech Stocks (Extreme Sentiment)

· "Big Short" Michael Burry warned that US stocks may be approaching a major top, not ruling out a 1987-style crash, and continues to hold short positions in semiconductors, NVIDIA, and other AI-related assets; the Nasdaq has accumulated nearly a 5% gain in the first two days of this week.

 Key Catalyst: Extreme bearish views coupled with a high-interest rate environment amplify tail risks and systemic panic expectations in the tech sector.

滋 Solana (Major Catalyst)

· The community is advancing two governance proposals, expected to increase the value of daily SOL burned from $47,000 to $650,000, reducing issuance by 18.9 million SOL (worth approximately $1.36 billion), and aims to bring forward the 1.5% inflation rate target to 2029.

 Key Catalyst: The realization of deflationary expectations directly improves tokenomics, elevating the medium-to-long-term valuation logic.

 

· A wallet address associated with Strategy transferred out another 1,030 BTC (worth approximately $66.14 million), sparking market speculation of a sell-off.

· A Wintermute report shows that institutional investors accounted for 72% of spot trading volume on its OTC platform (59% a year ago). Hedge funds and asset management firms are replacing retail investors as the primary source of liquidity through derivatives and ETFs.

· Yesterday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $211.5 million, and spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $53.1 million.

 

(Regulation / Sanctions / Licensing)

· The US FCC is drafting a ban to prohibit the import of new data center optical transceivers produced in China, planning to announce and implement it within 2026 to strengthen control over the AI infrastructure supply chain.

· Bitwise CIO stated that even if the CLARITY Act is not passed this week, the SEC may continue to promote industry development through rulemaking, but long-term uncertainty will hinder large-scale entry by professional investors (the Senate recess is from August 10 to September 11, with a Polymarket passage probability of 23%).

· Samsung plans to provide native stablecoin features to approximately 800 million Galaxy smartphones via Samsung Wallet, covering 61 countries, and is expected to become an important distribution channel for stablecoins like USDC.

(Security Incidents)

· SlowMist detected that the Keyv/Cacheable ecosystem suffered a massive npm supply chain attack. The attacker published over 2,000 malicious package versions with a weekly download volume of approximately 127 million, posing risks of credential theft and key leakage.
