On July 28, bipartisan lawmakers in Pennsylvania introduced Bill HB 2711, which seeks to prohibit sports betting and other gambling companies from acting as liquidity providers or market makers on prediction platforms. The bill was introduced by State Representative Tarik Khan on July 22 and has been submitted to the House Consumer Protection, Technology, and Utilities Committee. The legislation will also ban prediction platforms from entering contracts or sharing revenue with companies typically engaged in gambling activities, with the restrictions covering parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, employees, and entities acting for the financial benefit of other companies. DraftKings and Flutter have previously advanced market-making operations, with DraftKings recently launching the DKeX exchange after acquiring CFTC-registered company Railbird Technologies. HB 2711 proposes a minimum participation age of 21 and requires platforms to exclude self-excluded users, company employees, settlement source employees, and individuals with insider information. The bill also mandates that platforms implement commercially reasonable measures to prevent fraud, manipulation, and misuse of significant non-public information, and prohibits markets involving high school sports, participation of minors in sporting events, personal health conditions, and death events. The proposal does not establish a licensing system, and enforcement authority will be granted to the state Attorney General. Pennsylvania also has a companion bill, HB 2497, which aims to require platforms to obtain a license from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and impose a total tax of 22% on prediction platform revenues; neither bill has yet received a committee vote or hearing.

On July 28, the mandatory signal window for Bitcoin BIP-110 will open at block 961632, expected around August 9, 2026. As of July 27 at 8:40 AM (EDT), the on-chain height is 959842, leaving approximately 1790 blocks until that block, with a support rate for BIP-110 at about 2.64%. BIP-110, officially named Reduced Data Temporary Softfork, proposes to limit the size of certain data fields in Bitcoin transactions, primarily targeting Ordinals inscriptions, large OP_RETURN payloads, and similar high-data-use cases. If activated, the restrictions will take effect at block 965664 and will automatically expire after 52416 blocks, roughly one year later. Current support mainly comes from Ocean, independent miners, and small operators, while major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2pool have yet to shift their stance to support. Foundry has requested its clients to vote based on average hash power, stating that the pool will only switch all blocks to support the signal if the 'support' votes exceed 51% of the participating weighted hash power. If the current signal level persists until block 961632, nodes executing BIP-110 will reject blocks that do not emit version bit 4 signals and will follow the minority of blocks that do emit signals. Non-upgraded nodes will continue to accept both signaling and non-signaling blocks and will follow the chain with the highest cumulative proof of work.

On July 28, Citadel Securities predicted that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this week—an unexpected move that will bolster Chairman Kevin Waller's credibility in the fight against inflation. Frank Fletch, the firm's head of macro strategy, wrote in a report that a 25 basis point hike on Wednesday will reinforce Waller's repeated commitment to restoring price stability while indicating that policymakers are no longer relying on forward guidance for every policy action. 'The market may once again underestimate the extent of the Fed's hawkish shift.' A rate hike this week will 'decisively end the era of forward guidance' and highlight the independence of the Federal Reserve.

On July 28, local time Monday, Apple (AAPL.O) surpassed Nvidia (NVDA.O) to become the world's most valuable company by market capitalization, for the first time since April 2025. Nvidia's stock fell nearly 5% on Monday, bringing its market value down to $4.77 trillion, as investors expressed concerns over the hefty costs associated with AI infrastructure, leading to a decline in the AI chip sector overall. Meanwhile, Apple's stock rose by 1%, increasing its market value to $4.95 trillion. The company is set to release its highly anticipated earnings report after the market closes on Thursday. Nvidia has held the title of the world's most valuable company since it took it from Microsoft in June 2025, briefly reaching a market value of $5 trillion last October. Year-to-date in 2026, Nvidia's stock has only risen by 4%, while Apple's has increased by 24%. Apple's performance has outpaced the market due to its cautious approach to AI capital expenditures, favoring leasing computing power over building infrastructure, a strategy that has been well-received by investors.
