On July 28, Lee Eog-weon, Chairman of the Financial Services Commission of South Korea, stated that further measures will be considered to curb the demand for recently launched single-stock leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These products have previously been identified as one of the drivers of increased volatility in the stock market. Lee Eog-weon indicated that he would assess the impact of a new policy that raises the minimum cash margin required for investing in single-stock leveraged ETFs to 30 million won (approximately $20,400), which will take effect this Friday. The South Korean government has expedited the implementation of this margin requirement by several weeks, aiming to stabilize the market and protect investors. Lee Eog-weon remarked, 'If demand does not sufficiently cool down, we will also review and prepare additional measures in advance.' As one of the potential measures, he proposed implementing total management measures, which would limit investors' investments in such ETFs to no more than 20% of their total personal financial portfolio.

On July 28, the Hong Kong stock market saw a collective plunge in memory chip stocks, with the Southern Double Long Hynix falling over 21% and the Southern Double Long Samsung Electronics dropping over 17%. Additionally, Zhaoyi Innovation fell over 11% and Lanqi Technology dropped over 9%. Overnight, U.S. chip stocks experienced severe declines, triggering a chain reaction that led to a complete collapse of the Japanese and Korean stock markets today. The Korean Composite Index at one point fell over 8%, with Hynix down over 11% and Samsung Electronics down over 9%. On the news front, Nvidia not only reached a $500 billion AI collaboration with SK Group but is also exploring providing up to $250 billion in financing guarantees for OpenAI. This has reignited market concerns regarding the cash flow logic of AI capital expenditure cycles. Nvidia's 5-year CDS surged 14 basis points to 82 basis points in a single day, marking the largest single-day increase in history. The market has realized that Nvidia is no longer a risk-free, easy profit 'pure shovel seller' but has instead been downgraded to a hidden unlimited liability guarantor on the entire aggressive debt chain of AI. Should downstream AI applications fail to monetize as expected, Nvidia will be forced to bear fatal joint debt risks.

According to Beating Monitoring, Microsoft has launched its first self-developed cybersecurity model, MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, which is integrated into the vulnerability scanning system MDASH. It is a fine-tuned version of MAI-Code-1-Flash, with a total of 137 billion parameters and 5 billion activated at a time, supporting 256K context. MDASH will enable it to handle up to 90% of tasks related to vulnerability discovery, verification, classification, and remediation, while the most challenging 10% will be managed by GPT-5.4. Microsoft claims that this combination is nearly 50% cheaper than the existing GPT-5.4, 5.4 mini, and 5.3 Codex solutions. In Microsoft's CyberGym test, 'MAI-Cyber-1-Flash + GPT-5.4' scored 95.95%, compared to 85.6% for GPT-5.5 Cyber and 83.8% for Anthropic Mythos 5. It is important to note that this comparison is between complete models and agent combinations, and should not be interpreted as MAI-Cyber-1-Flash individually outperforming these models. It will also connect with the security agent product Project Perception, where red, blue, and green agents are responsible for finding vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and patching defenses, respectively. Project Perception will enter public beta on August 3, but MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is currently only available for private testing to approved MDASH clients.

According to monitoring by Beating, Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has lost another co-founder. Weng Li announced her departure, citing frequent illnesses over the past seven months and that the ongoing pressure and workload have exceeded her physical capacity. She took a month off due to illness while the company was racing to launch its first open-weight model, Inkling. Although she considered reducing her responsibilities, she could not accept only committing part of her energy. Moving forward, she hopes to find a research position with clearer responsibilities and a more stable pace, while continuing her work in AI research. This marks the fourth co-founder to leave since the establishment of Thinking Machines. Andrew Tulloch previously joined Meta, while Barret Zoph and Luke Metz returned to OpenAI. The company just released its first model, Inkling, about two weeks ago.

On July 28, CoinDesk reported that, according to a schedule set by Majority Leader John Thune, the U.S. Senate will shift its focus to several other matters while lawmakers debate the details of the CLARITY Act. The Senate will first advance nomination procedures and a sanctions bill against Russia. This means that it is unlikely the Senate will move forward with the CLARITY Act until other matters are resolved or deadlines are reached, which could take several days.
