币界网报道:

Ripple首席技术官David Schwartz打破了对唐纳德·特朗普暗杀未遂的沉默,称其为“多层壮观的失败”

这起事件发生在上周六宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的一次集会上,特朗普在集会上险些丧命。在周四发表在X上的文章中,施瓦茨对围绕这次尝试的无数失败表示惊讶,称这些失败几乎令人难以置信。

他指出,这次尝试之所以失败,只是因为最后有一点运气不好。事实上,特朗普在子弹击中前的正确时刻倾斜头部,避免了致命的伤害。结果,他的右耳受了轻伤。

Ripple首席技术官认为,对这一事件只有两种可能的解释:一种是运气不佳的特殊情况,另一种是系统性故障。

运气不好还是系统性失败?

首先,施瓦茨认为,不幸事件和疏忽的结合可能导致了数据泄露。例如,特勤局可能没有足够的时间彻底调查集会地点。

一个糟糕的决定,比如不阻挡特定的视线,可能会破坏原本稳固的安全计划。

此外,由于警察不在通常有人值守的屋顶上,枪手找到了一座没有覆盖的建筑。反狙击手小组,假设屋顶上会有警察,没有怀疑任何异常情况。

此外,发现枪手的人向警方报案。然而,警方和特勤局之间的沟通出现了中断。最后,让特朗普上台的决定可能是在没有得到所有电台的适当许可的情况下做出的。

与此同时,施瓦茨发现很难接受不幸的事件和疏忽在这个特定的场合只是一致的。

相反,他认为,这些不可原谅的失误和安全漏洞更有可能是经常发生的,但它们从未以允许暗杀企图成功的方式重合。

施瓦茨认为,多层保护可能导致了一种虚假的安全感,导致个人变得自满,忽视了他们的关键责任。

因此,他推测,可能有数百起事件中,被保护者视线清晰的屋顶没有被覆盖,数十起事件前的现场调查不足,尽管事先通知了地点。

有趣的是,施瓦茨表示,特勤局已经收到有关一名州级演员计划暗杀特朗普的情报,但尽管据称安全措施升级,这一事件仍然发生。

卡尔达诺创始人的反应

相反,卡尔达诺创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森认为,暗杀企图是美国政治状况恶化的一个悲剧性但可预测的后果。霍斯金森哀叹,美国已经从尊重分歧的文化转变为批评者被妖魔化的文化。

与此同时,Hoskinson认为,加密货币行业对去中介化和去中心化的关注为当前的政治状况提供了一种解决方案。他认为,包括政治领导人在内的中央集权机构再也不能完全信任了。

相反,不依赖于个人领导者的分散运动提供了一条更有弹性和值得信赖的前进道路。

Stripe Helps Revolut Issue a Euro Stablecoin

On August 26th, Revolut announced the rollout of EURR, a new euro-pegged stablecoin, to select users in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with plans to expand across the European Economic Area. The stablecoin, issued 1:1 against the euro on Ethereum and Polygon, is not issued by Revolut itself. Instead, it is issued by Bridge Building S.A., a Stripe-owned, Luxembourg-based electronic money institution licensed under the MiCA framework. This structure positions Revolut as the distribution channel for its over 80 million users, while Stripe/Bridge provides the compliant issuance infrastructure and reserve management. EURR's launch is essentially a cold start, with a circulating supply of only 374 tokens. It enters a euro stablecoin market dominated by Circle's EURC and Société Générale's EURCV, which itself is a tiny fraction of the massive dollar stablecoin market led by USDT and USDC. EURR's primary advantage is Revolut's vast user base, aiming to onboard retail banking customers to on-chain finance. However, its utility for the average Revolut user, who already enjoys fast euro transfers, remains tied to specific crypto-native use cases like DeFi. The launch coincides with Revolut's MiCA-driven phasing out of USDT for European users, positioning EURR as a compliant replacement. More broadly, the partnership highlights Stripe's strategy through its Bridge acquisition: building a "stablecoin-as-a-service" or "issuance-as-a-service" platform. Stripe aims to provide the compliant backend infrastructure—issuance, reserves, redemption—allowing other companies like Revolut to launch branded stablecoins easily, potentially reshaping the industry's competitive landscape from direct token competition to infrastructure services.

U.S. Financial Risks Benefit Gold and Bitcoin! Record Capital Inflow Over the Last Five Trading Days! Here's All the Data

Concerns over U.S. fiscal prospects and growing government debt are driving investors towards both gold and Bitcoin. Over the last five trading days, a record $7 billion flowed into gold and Bitcoin ETFs. Approximately $3.4 billion entered the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) fund, while BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw around $1.5 billion in inflows, placing both among the top ten U.S. ETFs by weekly capital inflow. Bloomberg notes the simultaneous strong inflows into both assets as particularly remarkable, a shift from past behavior where investors typically favored gold as a safe haven during market stress. Recent investor behavior has changed due to expectations of increased U.S. government borrowing, concerns about the dollar, and policies aimed at lowering long-term interest rates, boosting demand for assets with limited supply. The concurrent rise in the value of gold and Bitcoin indicates investors are turning to alternative assets to hedge against risks within the traditional financial system, especially amid heightened debates on U.S. debt sustainability. Experts suggest this strong ETF inflow may signal that institutional investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a portfolio diversification tool similar to gold, though Bitcoin's high price volatility means the risk profiles of the two assets remain significantly different.

Tokenized Deposits Could Raise US Lending Costs: Dallas Fed Economists

Tokenized deposits could increase U.S. lending costs and make bank funding less stable, according to an analysis by Dallas Fed economists. Rosy Leigh and Sreeni Ramaswamy note that instant settlement capabilities, programmable deposit tokens, and AI could allow depositors chasing higher yields to move funds faster between banks, reducing deposit tenures and increasing their sensitivity to interest rates. The economists estimate that a 10% increase in deposit rate sensitivity could reduce banks' capacity to hold long-term loans by around $700 billion over a ten‑year equivalent. A 10% reduction in deposit tenures could lower capacity by about $580 billion. These scenarios do not imply a direct, proportional cut in lending but highlight potential pressures. U.S. banks are developing blockchain networks for moving tokenized deposits around‑the‑clock while keeping funds within the regulated banking system. Thirty‑nine state banking associations recently formed the BankChain alliance to build a nationwide network, while The Clearing House is developing a separate network with major banks. Institutions like Standard Chartered and HSBC have also tested cross‑border tokenized deposit transactions via blockchain. Banks may respond to more volatile deposits by holding more liquid assets (like reserves and Treasuries) or relying more on wholesale debt—which would likely raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. The authors cite Brazil's Pix instant payment system as a comparative example, where increased use raised bank liquidity holdings and reduced credit intermediation.
