Happycoin.club - Крупнейший в Италии по сумме активов банк Intesa Sanpaolo (BIT:ISP) купил биткоины и стал таким образом первым итальянским банком, напрямую инвестировавшим в BTC.

Intesa Sanpaolo вложил в криптовалюту небольшую сумму, приобретя 11 BTC стоимостью $1,05 млн по текущему курсу. Соответственно, совершённая компанией сделка несёт больше символизма, чем практического значения. Тот факт, что ведущий итальянский банк решил купить цифровые активы, свидетельствует об уверенности финансистов в высоком потенциале виртуальной валюты.

Представители Intesa Sanpaolo не раскрыли причин и целей инвестиций в биткоины. В связи с этим остаётся загадкой, почему руководство учреждения распорядилось вложить деньги в BTC, и какой стратегией будет пользоваться организация по отношению к BTC. Вполне вероятно, что компания и вовсе стремилась хотя бы на время скрыть покупку цифровых активов. В пользу этой гипотезы говорит тот факт, что работники банка сообщили о сделке только после утечки данных, обнародованных на форуме 4chan.

Также стоит отметить, что бизнес Intesa Sanpaolo уже давно связан с цифровыми активами. В июле 2024 года банк выступил гарантом при выпуске первой в Италии цифровой облигации на блокчейне Polygon на сумму €25 млн. В ноябре Intesa Sanpaolo начал предоставлять клиентам услуги по торговле криптовалютами, ранее ограничиваясь опционами, фьючерсами и ETF, основанными на цифровых активах.

Predicting World Cup Knockout Matches: Why Are Different AI Models So Far Apart?

AI performance in predicting the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout matches varied significantly, according to an analysis of models including ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Claude. The standout predictions came from DeepSeek and Gemini for the Netherlands vs. Morocco match. Gemini precisely forecasted a 1-1 draw and a penalty shootout win for Morocco, while DeepSeek correctly identified the high probability of a draw and Morocco's potential to advance via a defensive and counter-attacking strategy. Grok and Tongyi Qianwen (千问) demonstrated strength in predicting accurate scores for matches with clearer favorites. They correctly called the narrow 1-0 win for Canada over South Africa and Brazil's 2-1 victory over Japan, as well as Norway's 2-1 win over Ivory Coast. ChatGPT and Claude excelled more in match process analysis than in predicting exact scores or upsets. They frequently identified potential challenges for favorites, such as Japan's pressing against Brazil or DR Congo's defensive tactics against England, even when predicting the favorite's ultimate victory. A notable failure was the unanimous misjudgment of Germany vs. Paraguay. All models incorrectly favored Germany, underestimating Paraguay's ability to force a penalty shootout and cause an upset. In summary, Gemini and DeepSeek showed the most insight for high-stakes, unpredictable matches. Grok and Qianwen were reliable "score predictors" for less volatile games. ChatGPT and Claude were strong "analytical models," adept at outlining match dynamics but often hesitant to predict upsets.

VELVET stalls at $2—How deep could the current pullback go?

Velvet (VELVET) experienced a bullish push above the key $2.00 resistance on June 29, reaching a high of $2.17, fueled by partnership news with Aerodrome Finance. However, momentum has since slowed, with an 11.5% price correction in 24 hours and a 27.1% drop in trading volume. Technical analysis shows mixed signals. While the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicates sustained buying pressure, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has turned negative, signaling significant capital outflows and short-term distribution. The overall structure remains bearish on the 1-day chart, though the recent correction found support at the 20-day moving average. Market data suggests the current pullback represents controlled selling pressure rather than a full trend reversal. Key supports to watch are the $2.00 level and the 20-day moving average near $0.75. The risk-to-reward ratio for new long positions is currently unfavorable, but the steady spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) and funding rate indicate underlying bullish strength. Traders may consider using a deeper pullback as a potential buying opportunity.

Will There Be a Next Wave of Web3 Games? Veteran Player's Review: At the Peak of Hype, You Should at Least Sell Half

**Title: Is There Another Wave for Web3 Gaming? A Veteran Player's Review: When Hype Peaks, You Must Exit at Least Half** **Summary:** In an interview, veteran player "Earn Money Chicken" shares his journey and reflections on Web3 gaming. He transitioned from being a traditional in-game trader to a Web3 gamer, having profited from games like Mobox, StepN, and Seraph, but also experiencing significant losses. He defines himself primarily as a player, not an investor, attracted to Web3 games for the blend of earning potential, engaging gameplay, and the satisfaction of researching game mechanics. While he enjoys strategic "gambling" within games, he emphasizes it's not about zero-sum competition with other players. The interview explores the complex, often adversarial relationship between players, projects, and major investors (whales). The player's experience as a traditional game merchant helped develop his analytical mindset for spotting opportunities, but wasn't directly transferable. He identifies the core sources of profit in early Web3 gaming as **"era红利" (era-specific红利)** and strategic foresight, not just simple calculations. He warns that the biggest mistake ordinary players make is calculating their return-on-investment (ROI) period at peak hype, as asset and yield depreciation can trap them. Reflecting on his wins and losses, he now advocates for managing expectations. His most successful exit was from Seraph, where he sold at a relatively good time. The key problem with current Web3 games, he argues, is that most are not mature games first. A successful Web3 game must primarily be a **good, fun game** with a genuine player base willing to spend money for enjoyment, not just participants seeking profit. The blockchain element should solve problems within that context, not be the primary driver. While he believes the sector might see another speculative boom (possibly another strong "Ponzi" model attracting hype), a truly mature and sustainable Web3 game likely needs to come from a traditional major game studio. It would leverage a proven IP, mature content, a functional NFT trading system, and attract both traditional and crypto-native players, offering more normalized returns rather than extreme暴利. His final advice: Newcomers without prior experience should avoid the space now, as it's like searching for a diamond in the rough. For those remaining, the rule is: be brave when assets are low and overlooked, but **when everyone is talking about it (at peak hype), you must sell at least half your holdings.**

Solana dApps Generated $257 Million In Q2 Revenue, Data Shows

Solana's decentralized applications (dApps) generated $257 million in revenue during the second quarter of 2026, marking the ninth consecutive quarter the network has led major Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains in fee-generating activity. This revenue metric, considered harder than hype, indicates real on-chain economic activity like decentralized exchange trading and token launches. While the figure underscores Solana's position as one of crypto's most active ecosystems and provides a narrative edge over Ethereum rivals, it is heavily tied to high-velocity, speculative trading such as meme coin activity. This dependency means revenue could decline if market sentiment shifts. The key test for Solana's dApp economy will be sustaining this revenue base during quieter market conditions.

The Most Hidden AI Winners

"The Most Under-the-Radar AI Winners" While core AI giants and their direct suppliers have dominated headlines, a group of seemingly unrelated, decades-old manufacturing companies have emerged as major beneficiaries. A key example is Japan's TOTO, famous for bathroom fixtures. Its stock soared 145% in a year, driven not by its mainstay toilet business but by its nearly 40-year-old semiconductor ceramic component unit. Specifically, TOTO manufactures electrostatic chucks—critical, hard-to-replace parts for advanced chip manufacturing processes like etching and EUV lithography. This segment, though only 9% of revenue, contributed over 54% of operating profit in FY2025 with a 43% margin. High barriers to entry, including deep know-how in high-purity ceramic sintering and long supplier certification cycles (5+ years), secure its position. This pattern repeats across industries. Nitto Boseki, a 128-year-old glass fiber maker, saw its stock rise 325% due to near-monopoly supply of T-glass, an essential low-expansion material for AI chip substrates. Similarly, Ajinomoto, the global MSG leader, commands 80-95% of the market for ABF film, a vital insulating layer in chip packaging. These "hidden" segments, often born from deep materials science expertise, are now bottleneck supplies in the AI hardware chain, enjoying pricing power and high margins. In China's A-share market, the theme combines this AI-driven demand with domestic substitution. Companies like Zhongci Electronic (advancing in electrostatic chucks) and Honghe Technology & Feilihua (in high-end electronic glass fabrics) are gaining traction. The investment thesis hinges on whether these domestic players can rapidly scale qualified capacity to capture the supply gap within the critical time window. Ultimately, these cases show that in the AI supply chain, high-profit concentrations exist not only at the cutting-edge tech frontier but also in indispensable, difficult-to-replicate materials and components. Market recognition often lags behind fundamental profit shifts, creating potential for significant re-ratings as traditional industrial firms are re-evaluated as key enablers of advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
