Introduzione

Crypto Snack, the company behind the BEP-20 utility token $SNACK, has announced a comprehensive five-pillar ecosystem designed to integrate cryptocurrency into real-world applications. The project, set for a coordinated launch across all verticals in 2026, includes a partnership with an English Premier League football club to enable crypto payments for tickets, merchandise, and advertising. It also covers institutional Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, with active projects valued up to $1.5 billion. Additionally, Crypto Snack is launching a licensed iGaming platform (Snack Casino and Snack Bet) and has already rolled out Snack Rewards—a U.S. consumer cashback program in partnership with over 2,000 brands. The ecosystem will be supported by the Snack App, a user-friendly crypto wallet and payment gateway. Key 2026 milestones include STO listings, international expansion, and major exchange listings for $SNACK.

BEP-20 utility token $SNACK positioned as the crypto payment layer for sports, entertainment, and everyday life

Crypto Snack, the blockchain-based crypto infrastructure company behind the $SNACK token, has announced the full scope of its multi-vertical ecosystem — spanning a Premier League football partnership, institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, licensed iGaming, a live consumer rewards platform, and an integrated crypto wallet and payments app.

The announcement marks a strategic repositioning for the project, which has spent the past 18 months building infrastructure, securing partnerships, and obtaining licences ahead of a coordinated 2026 launch across all five verticals.

“Most crypto projects pick one lane. We’ve built five — and every single one generates real revenue for the token. This isn’t a roadmap built on promises. The partnerships are signed, the licences are secured, and the technology is built. 2026 is about execution.”

— Stuart Morrison, CEO and Founder of Crypto Snack

Premier League Partnership

Crypto Snack has secured a partnership with an English Premier League football club, making it the first project to process cryptocurrency payments for a PL club. The integration covers matchday ticket purchases, merchandise sales, LED stadium advertising, VIP hospitality packages, and Ticketmaster-integrated ticketing — with $SNACK enabled as a direct payment method.

The club name remains under embargo ahead of a formal joint announcement in the coming weeks.

Real-World Asset Tokenisation

Crypto Snack facilitated and represents the Alkemya Metacore Security Token Offering (STO), which is listing on a regulated tokenised securities exchange. The STO comprises 800 million tokens, with Crypto Snack holding a 3% allocation. Proceeds are received in USDT, with remaining tokens generating ongoing cash distributions.

The company is actively tokenising UK real estate, commodities, and securities at institutional scale, with projects valued at up to $1.5 billion.

Licensed iGaming

Snack Casino and Snack Bet — a fully licensed online casino and sportsbook — are scheduled to launch in 2026, operated by a strategic iGaming partner under a licensed agreement to use the Crypto Snack brand. All bonuses, rewards, and referral incentives will be distributed exclusively in $SNACK tokens, creating a recurring demand mechanism for the token independent of speculative trading.

Live Consumer Rewards

Snack Rewards is already live in the United States through a partnership with Affina Loyalty, offering cashback paid in $SNACK tokens across more than 2,000 brands including Apple, Nike, IKEA, and Uber. The merchant-funded model means brands fund the cashback directly, with Crypto Snack earning a 1% commission on every transaction. UK and European expansion is scheduled for Q3 2026.

Snack App and Wallet

The Snack App will serve as the central gateway to the entire ecosystem, featuring a built-in crypto wallet with virtual debit cards, buy/sell/trade functionality, and unified access to all rewards and loyalty programmes. The app is designed for mainstream adoption, removing the technical barriers that typically prevent non-crypto users from entering the space.

2026 Roadmap

Key milestones for 2026 include:

Q1: Alkemya Metacore STO goes live; Snack Rewards continues US scaling

Q2: Crypto payments launch at Premier League club; Snack App and Wallet launch; Snack Casino and Snack Bet soft-launch

Q3: Snack Rewards expands to UK and Europe; Snack Casino and Snack Bet go fully live

H2: Tier-1 centralised exchange listings; US market expansion across all verticals; additional RWA tokenisation projects

$SNACK is a BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain, currently available on PancakeSwap.

Expect news tomorrow: this time the Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision! What impact will this have on Bitcoin?

A day before the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision announcement, the Japanese yen surged nearly 3% against the US dollar. The sharp move in the currency market fueled speculation that the Japanese government may have intervened again to support the yen. The USD/JPY pair fell over 400 pips to 158.5, its steepest daily drop since Japan's currency intervention earlier this year. Market participants suspect the rapid, strong yen appreciation could be due to direct foreign currency sales by Japanese authorities, though the Ministry of Finance has made no official statement. The yen had previously fallen to its weakest level against the dollar in nearly 40 years. In late April and May, the government intervened with roughly 9.6 trillion yen to prevent the USD/JPY from rising sustainably above 160, but the yen faced renewed selling pressure afterward. Investors are now focused on the BOJ's rate decision and its signals on future monetary policy. Potential hawkish signals from the BOJ are seen as a factor that could support further yen strength. A sharp yen appreciation could create short-term selling pressure on Bitcoin by increasing the risk of unwinding carry trades, where investors borrow low-yielding yen to invest in Bitcoin and other risky assets. This pressure could intensify if the BOJ takes a hawkish stance or raises interest rates.

Bitcoin stable as Fed fave PCE inflation sees first monthly drop in six years

Bitcoin remained stable around $64,500 despite the release of key U.S. inflation data. The June Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, showed a year-on-year increase of 3.7%, matching expectations and ending a recent uptrend with its first monthly decline since 2020. However, analysts cautioned that inflation remains nearly double the Fed's 2% target. Concurrently, U.S. stock markets rebounded, easing pressure on crypto assets. Following the Fed's decision to leave interest rates unchanged, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicted Bitcoin will become less sensitive to future Fed rate changes, anticipating more modest policy adjustments ahead.

Bernstein Reveals Details of Core Scientific's $14 Billion Deal with AMD

Analysts from Bernstein revealed details of a deal between Core Scientific and AMD with a potential total value of over $14 billion. According to the report, initial contracts for 530 MW of capacity could generate this revenue over 15 years, with AMD acting as a credit guarantor for part of the bitcoin miner's infrastructure. The partnership, announced on July 28, has the potential to allocate up to 2.5 GW of data center capacity for AI. Bernstein broke down the 530 MW into 377 MW of direct triple-net lease for AMD and 152 MW for an unnamed cloud provider backed by AMD's credit. This structure is seen as lowering financing costs and counterparty risk. AMD also received warrants to buy 30 million Core Scientific shares at $23.47 each, which vest upon reaching the 2.5 GW target. Average annual revenue from the deal is estimated at around $0.9 billion, or about $1.8 million per megawatt, which is 5-25% below recent AI hosting deals by other miners. However, the 377 MW triple-net lease for AMD carries a margin close to 100%. Core Scientific expects capital expenditures for the deal to be $11-12 million per MW, totaling about $6 billion. Bernstein views this partnership as a new phase in the transformation of former bitcoin miners into AI infrastructure operators, with AI chipmakers like AMD now acting as direct anchor tenants. Recent similar deals include Hut 8 allocating 704 MW to a tenant believed to be Nvidia, and AMD reserving 200 MW with Riot Platforms. Core Scientific also paid Block $41.9 million to terminate a mining chip supply contract as part of its accelerated diversification into AI.

Hyperscale Data sells 100 BTC to fund Michigan AI data center

Bitcoin mining company Hyperscale Data has sold approximately 100 Bitcoin and obtained a Bitcoin-backed loan to fund the construction of its new AI data center in Michigan. The proceeds are for infrastructure and equipment, with the credit facility carrying an interest rate of 4.5% to 5%. The project supports a 10-year deal with an unnamed AI provider for 20 megawatts of capacity, potentially generating over $1.2 billion in revenue. Options to expand and extend the contract could increase its total value to more than $3 billion. Hyperscale Data, formerly Ault Alliance, continues its Bitcoin mining operations and remains a significant corporate holder with about 1,006 BTC.

Gumi and SBI Launch a 3 Billion Yen Cryptocurrency Fund, and Japan Opens Doors for Spot ETFs

Japanese gaming and blockchain firm gumi Inc. has partnered with financial group SBI to launch the SBI Crypto Fund I, starting August 1, 2026. The fund aims to raise 3 billion yen (approx. $18.3 million) and will invest in Bitcoin and major altcoins, using strategies like staking and hedging. SBI Financial Services holds a 51% stake, with gumi's gC Labs owning 49%. This move aligns with Japan's regulatory shift, where new laws will reclassify digital currencies as financial instruments (effective 2027), paving the way for future spot Bitcoin ETFs and stricter penalties for unregistered crypto activities. Tax rates on crypto gains are also set to drop from 55% to 20% in 2028. In related developments, SBI VC Trade, a crypto exchange under SBI Holdings, reported its registered accounts recently surpassed 2 million, doubling from 2025. Growth is driven by corporate adoption of Bitcoin and XRP to hedge against yen weakness, and the introduction of yen and dollar-pegged stablecoins. Despite a smaller market than the US or South Korea, Japan's crypto sector is gaining momentum.
