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.

August 11, according to official sources, ENS token holders have approved the "ENS DAO New Era" proposal, and the associated execution plan has been completed on-chain. The ENS Foundation has officially become an independently operated entity. The Foundation will establish a full-time Executive Director, dedicated staff, and a 5-member board of directors to represent ENS in engaging with institutions and standards organizations such as ICANN, IETF, and W3C, to advance matters related to the ".ens" top-level domain, and to carry out policy communications, intellectual property protection, personnel recruitment, ecosystem grants, and other offline operations. ENS stated that with the Foundation officially operational, ENS Labs will be able to focus more on protocol and product development, including core infrastructure construction such as ENSv2. Under the new governance structure, ENS DAO, the ENS Foundation, and ENS Labs will form a three-party system with clear division of responsibilities. The Endowment fund assets, supported by revenue from .eth domain registration fees, remain unchanged. Its transactions will be subject to a 9-day time lock, and the ENS Security Council can cancel operations beyond the Foundation's authorized scope. The tokens held by the ENS DAO account for 54.6% of the total ENS supply and remain under the control of the DAO and token holders, with one exception: a one-time transfer of 1 million ENS to the Foundation to pay staff salaries under a public compensation framework. The ENS Foundation and ENS Labs are mutually independent legal and operational entities. The Foundation does not own ENS Labs, and ENS Labs does not have governance rights over the Foundation. Token holders can appoint or remove Foundation directors. The inaugural 5-member board of the ENS Foundation includes Executive Director Alexander Urbelis, ENS founder and ENS Labs CEO Nick Johnson, and three independent directors: Kartik Talwar, General Partner at A.Capital Ventures and co-founder of ETHGlobal; Brett Sun, co-founder of Prelude; and Anthony Leutenegger, CEO of Aragon. ENS stated that existing stewards, grant programs, and other commitments will continue to be fulfilled, and the Foundation will gradually take over grant programs, working groups, and related matters. Going forward, ENS Labs will continue to lead core ENS protocol development, the DAO will handle protocol governance and Foundation oversight, and the Foundation will undertake the offline institutional functions needed to support protocol operations – the three parties working together to promote the long-term development of ENS.
