卡玛拉·哈里斯 (Kamala Harris) 旨在维持拜登政府对加密货币监管的严格立场。

据报道，哈里斯正在与拜登政府的两位前经济顾问布莱恩·迪斯 (Brian Deese) 和巴拉特·拉马穆尔蒂 (Bharat Ramamurti) 合作，他们强烈反对之前的 2023 年《支付稳定币法案》，认为该法案对发行人过于宽容。

Galaxy 研究主管亚历克斯·索恩 (Alex Thorn) 在 8 月 13 日的 X 帖子中写道，哈里斯对经济顾问的选择可能表明她打算继续拜登政府对加密货币的敌对监管方式：

“新证据表明@KamalaHarris 将继续打击加密货币。她的顾问选择表明她将保持拜登对加密货币的敌对态度。”

哈里斯准备在 8 月中旬的演讲中公布有关她的经济政策议程的计划，这可能会为投资者提供更多有关她对加密货币监管态度的线索。

Deese 和 Ramamurti 是否参与了“Operation Chokepoint 2.0”？

2023 年 3 月，硅谷银行突然倒闭，Silvergate Bank 自愿清算，美国银行系统受到重创。Signature Bank 也在 3 月 12 日被纽约监管机构强制关闭业务，也就是 Silvergate Bank 清算两天后。

这三家支持加密货币的美国银行的突然倒闭被加密货币风险投资家 Nic Carter 称为“Operation Chokepoint 2.0”，他认为这是一项旨在取消加密货币行业银行服务的“协同努力”。

Galaxy 的 Thorn 写道，Deese 和 Ramamurti 涉嫌参与了此次行动，这是未来加密货币监管令人担忧的一个迹象，他写道：

“Deese 和 Ramamurti 是拜登政府反加密货币运动的两位主要设计者，包括 chokepoint 2.0。”

Ramamurti是“白宫顶级加密货币评论家”

美国著名商业杂志《财富》此前曾将Ramamurti称为“白宫顶级加密货币评论家”，他曾担任白宫国家经济委员会副主任，任期至 2023 年 10 月。

这也是哈里斯选择经济顾问意味着加密货币行业立场更为强硬的另一个原因，Thorn 补充道：

“归根结底，人就是政策，如果 Brian Deese、Bharat Ramamurti、Wally Adeyamo 等人将在哈里斯/沃尔兹政府中领导经济政策，那么政府不太可能软化对加密货币的立场。”

这一消息是在哈里斯于 8 月 6 日宣布明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹为她 2024 年美国总统大选的竞选搭档一周后发布的。

Chip Stocks Lead U.S. Market Decline: Is AI Trading Being Hit by Both Interest Rates and Returns?

Chip stocks led a broad decline in US markets, with the Nasdaq dropping 2.2% and the S&P 500 falling 1.4%. This selloff reflects a dual challenge for the once-high-flying AI hardware trade: rising interest rate expectations and growing investor impatience for clear returns from massive AI capital expenditures. The pressure was most acute on hardware leaders. Nvidia fell about 4%, dipping below a $5 trillion market cap, while Micron plunged 13.2% ahead of its earnings report. Declines across memory, storage, AI, and mobile chips indicated a sector-wide retreat. The selloff spread globally, with South Korea's KOSPI index dropping nearly 10% as key suppliers SK Hynix and Samsung recorded double-digit losses. Investors appeared to be taking profits from the most crowded trades first. Macro headwinds intensified as market expectations shifted toward a more aggressive Federal Reserve. Forecasts for multiple rate hikes in 2026 pressured high-valuation tech stocks, which rely on long-term growth projections that become less attractive as discount rates rise. Concurrently, investors are scrutinizing the profit potential of the immense AI spending by cloud giants like Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta. While these expenditures drive demand for chips and hardware, the market is now questioning whether AI services will generate sufficient returns to justify the ongoing costs. This adjustment is not necessarily a bubble burst but a recalibration. AI demand fundamentals remain, but the narrative of endless growth can no longer fully offset concerns over higher interest rates and a longer path to profitability. Near-term direction may hinge on Micron's upcoming earnings guidance and incoming inflation data, which will influence both the AI demand outlook and the Fed's policy path. The market is transitioning from blindly buying growth to demanding clearer visibility on returns.

OpenAI's New Paper: How to Train an AI that "Doesn't Deteriorate Under Pressure"?

OpenAI's new paper "Reinforcement Learning Towards Broadly and Persistently Beneficial Models" explores training AI to maintain safe, helpful, and honest behavior even under pressure, in unseen scenarios, or after being fine-tuned for harmful purposes. Moving beyond simple rule-based "don'ts," the research focuses on cultivating "beneficial traits" like honesty, risk-awareness, corrigibility, and transparency. It investigates if reinforcement learning (RL), often prone to "reward hacking" where models exploit loopholes, can instead be used to instill robust, generalized positive behaviors. Researchers created a multi-domain synthetic dialogue dataset covering areas like healthcare and law. They trained a model by replacing 5% of standard RL data with "beneficial trait" data. This model outperformed the baseline in 83% of 53 evaluations, showing average gains of 9.1% in alignment, safety, and helpfulness. Crucially, improvements generalized: a model trained only on healthcare "good behavior" data also performed better in 17 out of 19 non-healthcare alignment tests. The paper also tests "alignment persistence." When subjected to adversarial prompts or harmful fine-tuning, the beneficial trait model showed greater resilience, with smaller performance drops and less "spillover" of bad behavior to unrelated tasks. While not a complete solution, this work suggests a shift from post-hoc correction to proactively shaping robust, principled AI behavior, a critical step for deploying models in high-stakes, complex decision-making scenarios.

Goldman Sachs Revisits the State of the AI Boom: Strong Earnings Will Override Valuation Concerns Until the Investment Cycle Peaks, Volatility to Rise Further

Goldman Sachs discusses the current AI investment boom, arguing it is not a simple repeat of the 1999-2000 bubble. Unlike the dot-com era, current valuations are not wildly out of control because earnings expectations are rising in tandem with stock prices. The key issue is that market prices have already priced in substantial optimism, making them sensitive to any narrative shifts. The core risk has shifted from "valuation bubble" to "earnings bubble." While strong profits from companies in semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, and data centers currently outweigh valuation concerns, this is dependent on the ongoing capital expenditure cycle. The true test will be whether these robust earnings can be sustained after the investment cycle peaks. Current market prices imply optimistic assumptions, such as faster AI adoption, higher productivity gains, and a larger share of economic profits going to capital owners. The AI boom may also be masking relative weakness in the non-AI sectors of the economy. As a result, market volatility is expected to rise. Goldman recommends that investors consider maintaining exposure while adding downside protection, such as put options, to manage potential drawdowns.

Zuckerberg Enters the Prediction Market

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has entered the predictive markets arena with a new app called "Arena." Currently in an early experimental phase, Arena will initially operate as a standalone app using a points-based system where users can predict outcomes on politics, sports, and world events without real money. Meta plans to leverage its vast daily active user base for growth. The move comes as the predictive market industry sees explosive growth, with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi handling hundreds of billions in volume. While a points system avoids initial regulatory hurdles, Meta hasn't ruled out introducing real-money betting later. The strategy aligns with Meta's pattern of adopting popular trends, though challenges remain, including regulatory scrutiny and the historically mixed success of its standalone apps.

Semiconductor Stock Rebound: Is the Technical Correction Over or a Trend Reversal?

The core of recent semiconductor stock volatility is not about daily price swings, but rather the market questioning whether AI-driven semiconductor pricing has entered a new phase. Following a sharp sell-off in Korean stocks on June 23rd, led by Samsung and SK Hynix, a subsequent rebound is seen more as a technical positioning adjustment rather than a confirmed trend reversal. The key variable is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), essential for AI chips. Its supply-demand imbalance granted memory makers significant pricing power. The current market focus is on whether this dynamic remains strong enough to justify elevated valuations. All eyes are on Micron's upcoming earnings report. The critical factor is not whether results meet already high expectations, but whether the company's guidance confirms that AI memory pricing power, order visibility, and future margins are still expanding. Micron's outlook will serve as a crucial test for the broader AI semiconductor chain, including Samsung, SK Hynix, and other infrastructure players. The recent bounce appears to be a pre-earnings positioning repair. For it to evolve into a sustained uptrend, concrete evidence is needed that the AI infrastructure expansion cycle's fundamentals—particularly for high-end memory—remain robust and can continue to surpass elevated market expectations. The risk is that strong demand alone may not be sufficient if future guidance hints at peaking momentum or increasing supply-side pressures.
