US Treasury Secretary Bement Claims: The US Will Soon Control 80% of Global Computing Power

U.S. Treasury Secretary Ben Sent proclaimed that America is poised to control 80% of the world's computing power, positioning compute dominance as a core pillar of U.S. economic strategy. Speaking on the Mike Rowe show, he stated the U.S. currently holds 50-60% of global compute share, with expectations to reach 80% soon. He framed this as a strategic competition the U.S. "cannot afford to lose," warning that a rival's lead would grant "unacceptable" strategic leverage, while asserting a current one-year AI lead. This high-level policy endorsement is seen as a direct boost for AI infrastructure investment, benefiting chipmakers like NVIDIA and cloud providers' capex cycles. Sent positioned AI compute, semiconductors, and quantum computing as three pillars of national economic strength and security. He defended AI's societal impact, citing historical tech shifts, and argued AI empowers small businesses without causing net job loss so far. He highlighted government efforts to deepen public-private AI cybersecurity cooperation. For investors, the statement signals sustained U.S. policy support for AI infrastructure. However, analysts urge caution, noting "compute share" lacks a standard public metric; the 80% figure is a forecast, not audited data. They recommend focusing on tangible indicators like physical capacity expansion and power infrastructure, with future semiconductor and cloud reports providing key verification data.

Matrixdock Completes Independent Reserve Verification for Two Consecutive Years, Continuously Enhancing Reserve Transparency System

Matrixdock, the RWA tokenization platform under BIT (formerly Matrixport), has completed its fourth consecutive semi-annual independent reserve audit. Conducted by Bureau Veritas, the audit scope was expanded this time to include the tokenized silver product XAGm alongside XAUm (tokenized gold). The verification covered 574 gold and silver bars stored across three institutional vaults. As of the audit date, the holdings comprised 508 gold bars (16,331.184 troy oz) backing 16,331.179 XAUm tokens, and 66 silver bars (65,934 troy oz) backing 65,998.551 XAGm tokens, with the latter applying an ozPerToken conversion factor. The total asset value was approximately $66.09 million for gold and $4.04 million for silver. No discrepancies were found between the physical assets and the platform's records. This marks two years of consistent audits by the same independent firm. Matrixdock highlights this continuous, multi-layered "Reserve Transparency Stack" – which also includes monthly reports and on-chain Proof of Reserves – as key to building long-term trust. The platform views ongoing verifiability of underlying assets as a foundational capability for tokenized assets to evolve within broader financial infrastructure.

Hyperliquid Opens Prediction Market Deployment: Stake $30 Million HYPE Tokens for Up to 50% Fee Share

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, is opening its prediction market infrastructure to public deployment following its HIP-4 upgrade. To launch a market, deployers must stake 500,000 HYPE tokens (approx. $30M), which can be slashed if validators rule the market was poorly defined or settled incorrectly. In return, creators can earn up to 50% of the market's trading fees. This "skin in the game" model contrasts with curated platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. The move comes as prediction markets see record volumes, surpassing $50B in June. While Hyperliquid's current share is small ($176M), its permissionless approach could significantly disrupt the sector. The feature will launch first on testnet before moving to mainnet. The article also includes brief market updates: major cryptocurrencies posted weekly gains; prediction markets had a record summer; Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows; and notable movements occurred in memecoins and NFTs.

France Cracks Down Hard on Polymarket, 30 Countries Follow, Forcing EU to Redefine Prediction Markets

French gambling regulator ANJ has ordered nationwide ISP blocking of Polymarket, a crypto-based prediction market platform, escalating a four-year regulatory battle. ANJ classified it as illegal gambling rather than an unlicensed crypto exchange, focusing on consumer harm instead of financial market risks. This distinction carries significant legal implications and may influence other EU regulators. Despite a 2024 ban on financial transactions, Similarweb data showed over 205,000 unique French visitors in June 2026, prompting the site-blocking order. Investigations cite alleged weather data manipulation affecting contracts and a trader ("Fredi9999") suspected of manipulating odds for the 2024 US election. ANJ justifies the ban by highlighting the platform's lack of mandatory consumer protection features like betting limits and self-exclusion tools. Over 30 countries have restricted Polymarket. As the largest EU economy, France's move sets a potential precedent. Its classification conflicts with the EU's MiCA framework, which treats such markets as crypto assets. If adopted EU-wide, this could lead to blanket bans under gambling laws, diverging from the financial regulatory path taken by compliant platforms like US-based Kalshi. The effectiveness of France's block and the outcome of related legal cases will be closely watched by other EU members.

OpenAI's Darkest Hour: Revenue Could Be Slashed by 70%, How Long Can Its $100 Billion Valuation Hold?

OpenAI faces a severe crisis, with its 2030 revenue potentially slashing 70% and a projected cash flow loss of $165 billion. A disastrous week included an Apple lawsuit alleging intellectual property theft, an S&P downgrade of Oracle citing OpenAI as a "key credit risk," and the start of an AI price war. Chinese open-source models like DeepSeek now capture nearly 50% of enterprise token usage on OpenRouter, pressuring U.S. firms to cut prices drastically—Meta and OpenAI have released models 75-80% cheaper. Combined with weak ChatGPT ad revenue projections and potential hardware business shutdown from the Apple suit, OpenAI's financial future is in jeopardy. CEO Sam Altman's vague reassurances did little to calm investors. Meanwhile, the article argues the broader market is not diversifying but is increasingly a concentrated bet on AI, impacting sectors from utilities and industrials to real estate and finance. In separate news, Netflix reported disappointing Q2 results with slowing engagement growth, leading to a stock drop and reduced reporting transparency.
