币界网报道:

在最近法院对违反反垄断法的行为作出裁决后,联邦官员目前正在评估是否建议拆分谷歌的部分业务。司法部表示,将于下周向阿米特·梅塔法官提交提案,梅塔法官今年早些时候裁定谷歌不公平地垄断了互联网搜索市场。

Mehta法官最近作出的一项裁决称,谷歌从事反竞争行为是非法的,包括通过确保公司为谷歌搜索引擎做广告的协议付款。

司法部探讨了解决竞争问题的各种补救措施

司法部可能会对投诉中提出的反垄断问题提出几种补救措施。据消息人士透露,这包括迫使谷歌与其他公司共享其数据。另一项行动可能是限制为谷歌与苹果等科技公司签订的特殊合同寻求法律解决方案,以将谷歌搜索引擎纳入其技术。这些协议帮助谷歌继续垄断全球大部分搜索引擎市场。

此外,司法部可能会提出措施,避免谷歌在人工智能领域形成主导地位。法院还指出,谷歌在通过谷歌广告(前身为AdWords)销售的搜索广告中占据主导地位。该平台在很大程度上为谷歌的收入做出了贡献,强调了该公司在数字广告领域的主导地位。

司法部继续权衡各种选择,而谷歌则为其立场辩护

美国司法部和谷歌都被要求在9月4日前提供消除权力不平衡的拟议战略。下一次听证会将于9月6日举行,在此期间,梅赫塔法官将审议双方提出的建议,并就此案作出进一步决定。司法部一名官员指出,这些建议尚未得到指导,也没有定论。

然而,谷歌的法律团队提出了一种解释,即该公司的成功不是垄断的结果,而是提供优质产品的结果。他们还认为,这种比较应该扩大到亚马逊等其他搜索巨头,亚马逊也从网络流量中获益。

司法部的决定最终必须得到梅塔法官的批准。如果分拆成功,这将是几十年来针对美国科技公司的最大执法行动之一。裁决后,Alphabet的股价下跌了2.5%,但设法小幅反弹。谷歌表示将对Mehta的判决提出上诉。

与此同时,OpenAI最近推出了一个名为SearchGPT的新的人工智能搜索平台,专注于实时会话搜索,许多人猜测该平台将成为谷歌在互联网搜索市场上的主要竞争对手。

Mihoyo's Next Protagonist Is Her, Who Plays the Piano

Mihoyo, widely recognized for its hit game Genshin Impact, has long harbored a grander ambition: creating a virtual world where one billion people would want to live. While its character design is unparalleled, the company recognizes a fundamental limitation—these beloved virtual characters are not truly "alive." Their dialogue and actions are pre-scripted. This drive for authentic "living" characters has guided Mihoyo's strategic investments in cutting-edge fields like brain-computer interfaces, AI (including an early investment in MiniMax), and nuclear fusion. Following the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, co-founder Cai Haoyu stepped down from management to lead a new overseas AI venture, Anuttacon, focused on creating AI-driven virtual beings. Mihoyo's path has involved experimentation and iteration. Anuttacon's early project, *Whisper of the Stars*, showcased real-time AI conversation but revealed limitations in underlying language models. The team subsequently focused its resources on developing a sophisticated "emotional" large language model, distinct from purely utilitarian AI. Co-founder Liu Wei (Dawei) announced plans to invest up to 100 billion RMB in this AI pursuit. The first tangible product of this vision is *BSide: Olivia Lin*, a free Steam application featuring a piano-playing virtual companion. Unlike typical AI chatbots demanding constant interaction, Olivia Lin operates on a slower, more deliberate rhythm—responding to letters, playing user-submitted melodies, and serving as a desktop presence. This design emphasizes "lifelikeness" over exhaustive conversation, strategically working around current technological constraints while building a sense of authentic connection. The company's journey traces back to its name, "miHoYo," where "mi" pays homage to the virtual singer Hatsune Miku. For nearly two decades, fans have loved Miku, a character unaware of their devotion. Mihoyo's ultimate goal, now backed by massive investment and AI research, is to bridge that gap—to create virtual beings that can truly know they are loved.

Citrini Research: Taking Stock of 5 Major Investment Themes Overshadowed by the AI Trade

Citrini Research identifies five under-the-radar investment themes potentially overshadowed by the dominant AI trade. With capital and analyst attention overwhelmingly focused on AI infrastructure, these overlooked areas present alpha opportunities as market dynamics shift. **Theme 1: Airlines** – Despite strong fundamentals, stocks like Delta and United have been penalized for 18 months due to macro concerns (tariff-inflation, oil prices), not profitability. A rebound is expected as these headwinds fade, aided by trends like premiumization and the 2026 World Cup. **Theme 2: Senior Housing** – A pure demographic play. The U.S. population over 80 is projected to grow 56% in the next decade, drastically outpacing supply. This creates a compelling need for facilities, benefiting REITs like Welltower and operators like Brookdale. **Theme 3: Live Events & Entertainment** – "Being there" is becoming a luxury. This sector has outperformed even tech over the past decade. Companies like TKO Group (WWE/UFC), Cinemark, and IMAX are capitalizing on demand for premium, in-person experiences. **Theme 4: Exchange Competition** – CME Group's ~98% monopoly in U.S. interest rate derivatives faces its first real challenge from FMX Futures Exchange. Backed by major Wall Street banks, FMX offers lower fees and margin savings. While CME's deep liquidity remains an advantage, FMX provides a competitive alternative. **Theme 5: Fintech Recovery** – Heavily sold off in 2026, fintech stocks like SoFi, Robinhood, and Upstart are showing signs of a rebound based on improving fundamentals—SoFi's stablecoin launch, Robinhood's transformation into a "financial super app," and Upstart's renewed AI lending narrative—rather than a change in sector outlook. The report advises maintaining some AI exposure but diversifying into these neglected "small themes" where mispricing exists due to a simple shortage of investor attention.

21Shares Mid-Year Key Report: Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Remains Intact, Stablecoins and Tokenization Emerge as New Growth Engines

21Shares Mid-Year Report 2026: Bitcoin Cycle Intact, Stablecoins & Tokenization Emerge as New Engines This mid-year review assesses progress against 21Shares' ten predictions for 2026. While the overarching shift from narrative to fundamentals holds, performance varies. Key findings show Bitcoin's four-year cycle remains evident despite market maturation. Global crypto ETP AUM has declined to ~$140B, lagging the $400B target, though product innovation continues. Stablecoin supply surpassed $320B, demonstrating non-cyclical demand but falling short of the $1T forecast due to slower regulatory clarity. DeFi TVL, stalled at ~$140B, was hindered by major security incidents. Corporate crypto treasuries hold ~1.28M BTC ($100B), with consolidation pressuring weaker players. Prediction markets are on track, with $57.5B volume already surpassing half the $100B annual target. AI agent infrastructure is ready, but adoption is early. Ethereum L2 consolidation is underway, with the top 5 capturing nearly 90% of activity. Compliant token launches have a platform but lack mainstream volume. Tokenized RWAs total ~$31B on public chains, but institutional pipeline growth is strong. In summary, fundamentals like stablecoins, tokenization, and prediction markets are advancing, but targets require faster adoption or price appreciation. The market is maturing, yet cyclical patterns persist.
