TON Strategy Earns $15 Million from Gram Staking in Q2

TON Strategy, the company managing the cryptocurrency treasury for The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, reported its Q2 results. The company generated $15 million in revenue from staking Gram (the rebranded native asset, formerly Toncoin) and increased its reserve to approximately 230.5 million tokens. This represents about 4.4% of Gram's total supply and 35% of all tokens staked on the network. The staking yield for the quarter was approximately 17%, attributed partly to the Catchain 2.0 consensus update which sped up block creation. The company's fair value of digital assets rose to about $369.5 million from $272 million in Q1. Net profit from continuing operations before tax was $83.5 million, a significant turnaround from a $91.3 million loss in the prior quarter, heavily influenced by an $82.8 million net gain from the change in Gram's fair value. TON Strategy also completed measures to wind down legacy operations, terminating contracts and reducing staff costs, which is expected to cut annual cash operating expenses by around $4 million. CEO Kevin Wilson stated the company now has a more focused business model centered on accumulating Gram and developing the TON ecosystem. He highlighted TON's growing integration with Telegram, its increased speed and lower fees, and its potential role in payments, digital ownership, and AI agents capable of transacting on behalf of users.

With Half of the FOMC Already Hawkish, Will Wash Become a "Lame Duck" Chairman?

Federal Reserve Chair Walsh faces an unusual authority crisis as hawkish FOMC members gain influence. According to sources familiar with his thinking, if upcoming inflation data runs hot, Walsh is prepared to support a rate hike at the September meeting—a move seen as crisis management after his perceived lack of clear guidance in July. Currently, six FOMC members are inclined to raise rates if inflation remains persistent. This includes three who dissented in July for an immediate hike, two who indicated they are close to joining the hawkish camp, and one governor who has publicly warned of potential tightening. With 12 voting members and no tie-breaking vote for the chair, a coalition of six could push through a rate increase without Walsh's endorsement, potentially forcing him to either follow the majority or stand isolated. Market pricing has also shifted, with short-term interest rate futures now reflecting firmer expectations for one to two hikes this year. While Walsh's team points to stable long-term inflation expectations as a sign of policy credibility, analysts argue the overall market signal points toward tightening. The situation illustrates how a central bank chair can lose control of the committee's direction if communication falters and a hawkish consensus forms.

Anthropic Strikes $9 Billion Compute Power Deal with Riot — Bloomberg

Anthropic has entered into a 20-year deal worth approximately $9 billion with bitcoin miner Riot Platforms. According to Bloomberg, the agreement grants the AI developer access to 191 MW of computing power at Riot's facility in Rockdale, Texas. This follows another 20-year, $19 billion deal Anthropic made with bitcoin miner TeraWulf earlier in July. The partnerships are part of a trend of bitcoin mining companies, including Bitdeer, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific, expanding into the AI and high-performance computing sectors. Analysts suggest these alliances help address the electricity shortage hindering AI data center development. Riot's stock has risen over 53% year-to-date, and the company is the world's fourth-largest mining firm by market capitalization.

Within One Week, Cryptocurrency Holders Face Fake Investment Sites and Phony IRS Letters

New York State Police are warning residents of the Twin Tiers region about a cryptocurrency and gold investment scam. Fraudsters contact potential victims, build rapport, and then direct them to fake but legitimate-looking investment websites. Once victims enter their banking or account details, their funds are stolen. Authorities advise hanging up on unsolicited calls and calling 911, especially if the caller requests financial information. Separately, the IRS Criminal Investigation division warned on July 30th of a scam targeting cryptocurrency holders. Victims receive fake IRS letters claiming they must register on a non-existent "Digital Asset Compliance Portal" by a deadline. The letters contain QR codes redirecting to IRS-lookalike sites that steal personal information, wallet details, or exchange login credentials. The IRS confirms it does not operate such a portal. The advisory notes that while the IRS uses QR codes in some legitimate letters, taxpayers should ignore codes on suspicious mail and visit IRS.gov directly. The scam's scale and how the crypto holders' information was obtained remain unclear. This follows similar phishing campaigns, including one in May using fake Ledger security update emails. The FBI reports Americans lost approximately $21 billion to cybercrime and online fraud in 2025.

What Will Happen to Bitcoin if the Clarity Act (the 'Bull Market' Law) Is Not Passed Soon? A Prominent CIO Assesses...

Matt Hogan, Chief Investment Officer of crypto asset management firm Bitwise, stated that if the Clarity Act, aimed at establishing a regulatory framework for the crypto market in the U.S., is not passed this week, it could lead to a short-term downturn in the cryptocurrency market. In a memo, Hogan noted that the most positive market scenario if the bill fails would be investors quickly pricing in this outcome. He suggested that a significant drop in expectations for the bill's passage, particularly reflected in prediction markets like Polymarket, could help reduce regulatory uncertainty. Hogan explained that if the act fails, a sharp decline in prediction market odds to at least 10% would remove this uncertainty. While the market might wobble briefly, it would set up a better position for an upward trend in the fall. Hogan views immediate passage this week as the best scenario but unlikely, with Senate hearings more probable in September. The key, he emphasized, is for investors to accept that the Clarity Act won't pass in the short term, allowing the market to price this in, find a bottom, and eliminate the uncertainty.

BlackRock brings tokenized money market funds to Europe via JPMorgan

BlackRock will launch tokenized versions of some of its European money market funds using JPMorgan's blockchain technology. The offering will include funds denominated in pounds, euros, and US dollars from its Institutional Cash Series, which oversees about $311 billion in total assets. Each token will represent a share in an underlying fund and allow for 24/7 transfers between approved digital wallets. JPMorgan's platform, Kinexys, will provide the tokenization infrastructure, with the bank also acting as the transfer agent. BlackRock executives noted strong interest from digital wallet providers, corporate treasurers, and capital markets participants looking for more efficient collateral and intracompany payment solutions. This move expands BlackRock's presence in the tokenized cash management space, following the 2024 launch of its BUIDL fund in the US, which has grown to $2.67 billion in assets.

Dragonfly Estimates Prevention of Coldcard Hack at $2

The venture capital firm Dragonfly estimates that the vulnerability exploited in the Coldcard hardware wallet hack could have been prevented for approximately $2 by using advanced AI to scan the code. Managing partner Haseeb Qureshi argued that cybersecurity is increasingly a matter of expenditure: with AI models conducting attacks, a product's security depends on how much the developer spends on scanning their own code with similar frontier AI tools compared to the attacker's budget. He based this estimate on the time an AI model took to find the bug and the API costs from a provider like Zhipu AI. Meanwhile, research from Galaxy indicates the attack was carried out by at least 15 different entities, with confirmed losses now estimated at $100 million and potentially rising to $130 million. The hack, which began on July 31, initially resulted in the theft of nearly 595 BTC from around 500 users. In response, hardware wallet companies Trezor and Foundation have warned users about related phishing campaigns.

Avalanche Price Forecast for August 2026: Can AVAX Break Above $7 When Kenya Launches on the Network?

Avalanche (AVAX) Price Forecast for August 2026: Key Factors and Levels Avalanche (AVAX) is trading at $6.782 on August 4, showing signs of a potential breakout after consolidating between $5.50 and $7 since June. The price has recently moved above its 20-day and 50-day EMAs, with the Parabolic SAR turning bullish for the first time in months. Key resistance levels are $7 (range top), $7.483 (100-day EMA), and $9.368 (200-day EMA). Support lies at $6.775 (50-day EMA), $6.532 (20-day EMA), $6.040 (Parabolic SAR), and $5.50 (range bottom). Historically, August is AVAX's strongest month with an average return of +25.1%, though median returns are more modest. The token enters August from a low base after a significant June sell-off. Fundamentally, the network is seeing increased institutional adoption. Kenya's National Examinations Council (KNEC) has placed over 15 million academic records on Avalanche. Other developments include Securitize tokenizing ~$300M, Progmat migrating $2.7B+ in securities, Aave V4 expanding to Avalanche, and Hyundai launching a stablecoin payment pilot. The Avalanche Payments Collective has also launched with 29 members. The weekly forecast suggests a range between $6.60-$8.50 for the month, with a close above the 100-day EMA at $7.483 being a key bullish target. The bearish risk involves a rejection at $7 and a fall back towards the $5.50 range low. The progress of the U.S. CLARITY Act by August 7 is noted as a potential macro catalyst.

SpaceX's First Earnings Report Exceeds Expectations, But After-Hours Trading Drops Over 7% Under Lockup Expiration Pressure

SpaceX's first post-IPO quarterly results surpassed expectations, with revenue reaching $78.14B (up 92% YoY), adjusted EBITDA of $35.38B (up 191% YoY), and a narrowed net loss of $541M. Starlink remains the profit core, contributing 55% of revenue. AI emerged as the fastest-growing segment, contributing 33% of revenue with a 247.5% YoY increase. However, shares fell over 7% after-hours due to concerns over high AI capital expenditures ($158.28B in Q2) and impending lock-up expiration for ~912M shares on August 6th. Management targets a $1T annualized revenue run-rate by end-2026, heavily reliant on AI cloud service contracts.
