On August 12, U.S. President Trump posted: "The United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. I believe we will continue to maintain that control! Our maritime blockade is referred to by everyone as a 'steel wall,' and Iran is powerless against it. They have no navy, no air force, and their remaining soldiers have not been paid. The Revolutionary Guard has been severely damaged and is in retreat, while their 'leadership' can at best be described as uncertain! They have no funds—this country is already 'full of holes.' All they have are fake news and 300% inflation, and the situation is worsening! Iran is now just talk without action, no longer the bully of the Middle East!"

On August 12, during Tencent's Q2 2026 earnings call, President Liu Chiping discussed the feedback from the gray testing of WeChat AI 'Xiao Wei' in the second quarter. He stated that AI can make WeChat smarter, assisting users in transactions, exploring content, and managing daily life. In the PC era, QQ was primarily a communication and social tool, but in the mobile internet era, WeChat amplified QQ's value by more than ten times. As we enter the AI era, over time, WeChat will evolve into an AI-driven ecosystem where users can give a command, and the system will execute it autonomously.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on the X platform that Goldman Sachs will acquire BTCI in the Neos trade. BTCI is a Bitcoin premium yield ETF with a size of $1 billion and a yield of 27%, capturing most but not all of the Bitcoin price increases. He noted that this helps explain why Goldman Sachs has never launched the Bitcoin covered call product for which it submitted an application months ago; rather than launching similar products, a better approach is to surpass BlackRock's BITA.
