Santiment reports significant net outflows of two altcoins from exchanges: Chainlink (LINK) and Pepe (PEPE). Over 24 hours, approximately $1.26 million worth of LINK left exchanges, marking its largest daily outflow since June 29. For PEPE, around 4.54 trillion tokens were withdrawn, the largest daily net outflow since November 14, 2024. This reduction in exchange supply for both assets is seen as a signal that investors are moving tokens to private wallets, decreasing the amount readily available for immediate sale. This can reduce the risk of sudden, intense selling pressure in the short term. While a decreased sell-side supply can create a more positive outlook, it does not guarantee a price increase. For LINK, developments in institutional adoption and infrastructure are noted. For PEPE, market watchers are observing potential ETF-related developments and memecoin market rotation. The activity indicates shifting investor holding patterns but is not a definitive bullish signal.

Institutional cryptocurrency trading is increasingly shifting towards dark pools and over-the-counter (OTC) desks, with data from sFOX showing such venues accounted for 15% of total monthly volume by June, up from negligible levels in April. In July, 77.7% of institutional capital on sFOX's platform was routed through OTC desks, while only 18.4% went to public exchanges. A key driver is institutions' need to conceal large orders to avoid revealing trading patterns, preventing front-running and minimizing price impact. Firms like Jane Street and Citadel use dark pools and order-splitting across multiple venues to execute trades discreetly. This structural shift mirrors earlier developments in equities and forex markets. As a result, public order books now reflect only a fraction of actual market activity, eroding the once-significant advantage retail traders had in tracking large wallets and exchange flows. The proliferation of prime brokers and aggregation platforms is also rapidly closing simple arbitrage opportunities. The market may evolve toward a brokerage model for retail, similar to traditional stocks. Two scenarios emerge: an optimistic one where retail gains from narrower spreads and better order routing, and a pessimistic one where transparency declines faster than benefits trickle down, leaving smaller investors in the dark. Regardless, traders must adapt by not relying solely on exchange volume, comparing total execution costs, and using limit orders in thin markets. While reduced volatility from hidden large trades may seem positive, it comes at the cost of obscured market signals and institutional intent.

Shares of Bullish surged about 13% in early trading Thursday after the institutional-focused crypto exchange and owner of CoinDesk reported a 62% year-over-year rise in Q2 adjusted revenue and a more than threefold increase in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted revenue reached $92.6 million, up from $57 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA jumped to $29.5 million from $8.1 million, and adjusted net income was $14.3 million, a swing from a $6 million loss in the prior-year quarter. Subscription, service, and other revenue hit a record $62.7 million, helping offset lower exchange activity. Quarterly trading volume was $179.6 billion, down from $197.4 billion a year ago. Bullish also received regulatory approval from Gibraltar's Financial Services Commission to trade tokenized securities on secondary markets, expanding its regulated on-chain asset activities. The company raised its annual forecast, expecting subscription, service, and other revenue between $225 million and $245 million, citing strong first-half results and increased predictability.

The countdown for the largest IPO in AI history, a potential $2 trillion listing for Anthropic, is underway for October. The staggering valuation, reportedly projected by several investors, contrasts with the company's own internal restraint on setting a public target. Founded five years ago by former OpenAI core members, Anthropic's growth has been meteoric. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) surged from ~$9B in late 2025 to $47B by May 2026, with Q2 2026 revenue of $11.5B marking a 14x year-over-year increase. Bank valuations are even based on internal 2028 revenue forecasts of $190-200B. A key growth driver is Claude Code, its AI coding assistant. Its ARR quintupled in five months to $2.5B by February 2026, now constituting nearly 20% of total revenue. Surveys indicate Anthropic commands roughly 40% of enterprise LLM spending, doubling OpenAI's share in programming-specific use. However, alongside this explosive growth, reports detail significant internal cultural strife. Critics describe a divisive "priesthood" of PhD executives, led by CEO Dario Amodei, who promote a "save humanity" narrative that some employees find cult-like and alienating. This has reportedly created a demoralized workforce and a covert "underground network" of dissent among engineers torn between lucrative pre-IPO equity and a toxic work environment. Anthropic now faces a pivotal paradox: pursuing its mission of "safe" AI requires immense capital for compute, yet that capital demands relentless commercial growth. As it approaches its historic IPO, the company must navigate intense regulatory scrutiny, soaring operational costs, and internal tensions—any of which could destabilize its post-listing trajectory, much like SpaceX's significant post-IPO stock drop. The stage is set for a defining moment in tech history.

This article is an interview with Chinese artist Chen Danqing, who currently serves as the director of the Mu Xin Art Museum in Wuzhen. He discusses his role in managing the museum, which focuses on literary-themed exhibitions featuring figures like Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, and Chopin, rather than traditional visual art. Chen reflects on the museum's unique position within a tourist town, its challenges in engaging visitors who often seek personal advice rather than discuss exhibitions, and his general detachment from the contemporary art scene. He expresses skepticism about the overemphasis on art market prices, referencing the high auction sale of his early work, and shares his views on the abundance of art information available today. Regarding AI, Chen states he has no strong opinions, doesn't use it for his creative work, and humorously deflects questions expecting him to be an authority on the technology. The interview portrays him as a figure navigating museum management, public perception, and cultural commentary while maintaining a distance from mainstream art world trends.
