· Funding Rate: +0.0100%

· Fear & Greed Index: 38 (Fear)

II. Trading Signals / Hotspots

(Bitcoin · Capital Inflows)

· BlackRock's head of digital assets noted a decoupling trend between Bitcoin and U.S. equities; spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows for five consecutive trading days last week, totaling approximately $853.5 million—the best weekly performance since mid-April. BlackRock's IBIT accounted for over 80% of total net inflows with $693.7 million.

· Key Catalyst: Bitcoin significantly outperformed U.S. equities during the sharp correction in AI stocks, reflecting increased demand for Bitcoin as a portfolio diversification tool.

(Bitcoin · Extreme Sentiment)

· Santiment data shows the number of addresses holding at least 10,000 BTC has risen to 90, a six-month high, with an increase of 6 addresses over the past eight weeks; since July 29, addresses holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have accumulated approximately $1.5 billion worth of BTC, while smaller addresses continue to decline.

· Key Catalyst: Concentration of holdings from retail to large holders; continued whale accumulation may increase the probability of an upward price breakout in the next cycle.

(AI Computing / Riot · Major Catalyst)

· Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms reached a $9.1 billion AI data center computing power agreement with Anthropic (20-year contract term, with total revenue potentially reaching up to $16.1 billion if all extension options are exercised), providing 191MW of computing power to Anthropic at its Rockdale facility in Texas. Riot's stock price surged 25% to $24.40 in after-hours trading following the announcement.

· Key Catalyst: Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI computing power suppliers with long-term contract endorsement, reshaping valuation logic for the crypto computing sector.

(NVIDIA / AI Computing · Major Catalyst)

· NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced collaboration with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish an independent financing platform, aiming to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure development over the long term, emphasizing this is not NVIDIA's revenue or a single fund size but rather the introduction of independent long-term institutional capital. NVIDIA's stock price dropped approximately 2%-3% following the announcement.

· Key Catalyst: The $500 billion AI infrastructure financing platform will reshape the computing power supply chain, but the market questions the circular risk of “customers buying GPUs through financing.”

III. Capital Flows / Anomalies

· U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $144.6 million yesterday, with IBIT outflowing $53.6 million, FBTC outflowing $40.3 million, BITB outflowing $28.4 million, GBTC outflowing $52 million, and Grayscale BTC inflowing $37.1 million; Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows of $14.6 million yesterday, with ETHA outflowing $23.8 million.

· Trump Media & Technology Group's Trump Media (DJT) quarterly report shows holdings of 9,477.16 BTC (fair value approximately $557.1 million) as of June 30, down 65 from the end of March; affected by declining crypto asset prices, the company recorded approximately $360.6 million in related losses in the first half of this year.

· Bitcoin mining company Keel Infrastructure (formerly Bitfarms) has shut down all its U.S. Bitcoin mining operations and begun converting related sites into AI and high-performance computing data centers; between April 1 and August 7, it sold 1,085 BTC for $75 million, with quarterly revenue of $30 million (down 50% year-over-year) and a net loss of $141 million.

IV. Regulation & Major Events

(Regulation / Sanctions / Licensing)

· The New York Times disclosed that the $100 million governance token order received by the Trump family crypto project World Liberty Financial came from Guo Renzhou, a money laundering suspect under investigation in the UK; the transaction was completed in June 2025 through UAE-registered fund Aqua 1, and according to WLFI's revenue-sharing structure, up to $75 million flowed into the entity DT Marks DEFI LLC controlled by Trump and his three sons. As of the end of July 2026, UK law enforcement's money laundering investigation into Guo remains ongoing.

(Security Incidents)

· The PoW blockchain Ravencoin network experienced a critical consensus vulnerability that has been exploited, causing vulnerable nodes to accept invalid blocks, with the first known invalid block appearing at height 4,487,776. Currently, 2Miners and RavenMiner, controlling the majority of hash power, are mining a chain starting from height 4,487,776 that excludes the exploited branch, potentially resulting in a deep chain reorganization of approximately three days; officials recommend that CEXs temporarily suspend RVN deposits and withdrawals, and transactions confirmed after height 4,487,775 should be considered at risk.

V. Platform Exclusive Benefits
