  • Всемирный золотой совет (WGC) запустит пилот цифрового золота для использования слитков в расчетах и в качестве залога.
  • Новый инструмент PGI позволит банкам и инвесторам торговать дробными долями физического металла.
  • Тестирование начнется в Лондоне в первом квартале 2026 года с участием крупных банков и трейдеров.

Всемирный золотой совет (WGC) готовит запуск цифрового формата золота, который позволит применять драгоценный металл как полноценный финансовый инструмент, пишет FT. Пилотный проект на рынке Loco London стоимостью $900 млрд направлен на создание новой модели расчетов и обеспечения сделок.

Исполнительный директор WGC Дэвид Тейт отметил, что оцифровка слитков позволит использовать золото на балансах банков для покрытия маржинальных требований и привлечения дополнительной прибыли. Новый инструмент, получивший название PGI (pooled gold interests), обеспечит возможность приобретать и продавать доли в физическом металле, хранящемся на сегрегированных счетах.

Структура проекта предполагает совместное владение базовым золотом группой ключевых участников. По словам консультанта проекта Аллана Гильда, к тестированию подключатся ведущие банки и торговые дома.

Запуск станет продолжением многолетней программы WGC по цифровизации рынка золота. В январе 2025 года совместно с Лондонской ассоциацией рынка драгоценных металлов (LBMA) была запущена блокчейн-база данных Gold Bar Integrity. Ее предназначение — отслеживание происхождения слитков и повышения прозрачности отрасли.

Однако некоторые эксперты сомневаются в готовности лондонского рынка принять новую систему. Директор по исследованиям BullionVault Адриан Эш считает, что золото уже выполняет функцию надежного актива и не требует дополнительных форматов.

Тем не менее WGC рассчитывает, что цифровая модель привлечет институциональных инвесторов. В организации ожидают, что этот шаг создаст новый тип сделок наряду с существующими аллокированными и неаллокированными контрактами.

Несмотря на исторический рост цен на металл, большая часть золотых активов остается пассивной. WGC надеется, что новый формат сделает рынок более ликвидным и эффективным, а также поможет конкурировать с криптовалютами и стейблкоинами, обеспеченными золотом.

По словам Тейта, внедрение цифровых слитков — это шаг к формированию единого стандарта, который изменит представления об использовании золота в финансовой системе.

Напомним, мы писали, что Нацбанк Украины не намерен добавлять криптовалюту в перечень резервных активов.

Number of Active XRP Addresses Reaches Two-Month High Amid Worsening Market Sentiment

On August 14th, activity on the XRP Ledger surged to a two-month high, with 49,929 active addresses recorded in a 24-hour period. This spike occurred despite market sentiment towards XRP hitting a three-month low, as the token traded below $1, highlighting a sharp divergence between on-chain activity and retail investor mood. The data from Santiment shows that average daily active addresses had already risen to around 35,700 by August 12th, up from approximately 26,400 in July—a nearly 35% increase. However, the number of new addresses remained flat, suggesting the surge was driven by existing addresses becoming more active rather than an influx of new users. Analysts caution that while high address activity indicates increased network participation, it doesn't specify whether the activity stems from new investors, institutional moves, exchange transactions, or existing holders. Concurrently, the bearish sentiment, tracked from social platforms like X and Reddit, reflects crowd psychology rather than fundamental network health. The report notes that the XRP Ledger's validator-based consensus allows for such on-chain activity to grow independently of short-term price pessimism. Furthermore, broader ecosystem development, including Ripple's reported $550 million in investments since 2017 into grants and institutional infrastructure for tokenized assets, provides a long-term context separate from current price trends. The key question is whether the elevated address activity will be sustained beyond the single-day spike amidst ongoing negative sentiment, or if it represents only a temporary divergence.

Apple Removes Fake DefiLlama App After Several Months of Complaints

Apple removed a fake app impersonating the analytics platform DefiLlama from the App Store after months of complaints from the service's founder, 0xngmi. He stated that Apple had ignored his reports about trademark infringement and requests to remove the software. To finally prove the app was fraudulent, 0xngmi resorted to downloading it himself, depositing a small amount of funds, and allowing the hackers to steal it, demonstrating the scam to Apple. He called this action "crazy" but necessary to protect users from the fake app, which closely resembled a basic version of DefiLlama and was used to steal seed phrases from victims. 0xngmi publicized the incident to warn other crypto teams, hoping they would avoid similar wasted effort. As a result of this situation, the DefiLlama team has postponed the launch of their official app, deciding to wait until all fraudulent versions disappear to prevent users from accidentally downloading a fake.

IPO Imminent, OpenAI Faces Major Personnel Upheaval

OpenAI, preparing for a potential IPO, is experiencing significant leadership turmoil. In mid-August 2026, longtime "GPU geek" Scott Gray quietly left, and within three days, Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap (8-year veteran) and Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser (8-month tenure) departed. This follows a broader exodus of at least 10 senior executives in 2026, including heads of product, safety, and ethics. Analysts view this as a strategic "surgery" to transform from a research lab into a sales-driven enterprise company before going public. Revenue now tilts toward enterprise clients, surpassing consumer income sooner than expected, with annualized revenue reaching $40 billion. The new CRO, Dali Rajic, is a veteran enterprise sales leader. Concurrently, OpenAI has disbanded independent safety teams like "Preparedness," which assessed catastrophic risks, integrating their functions into core research. Critics warn this removes dedicated "brakes" on AI development. The leadership vacuum raises questions about who is the clear second-in-command after former apps CEO Fidji Simo moved to an advisory role. Co-founder Greg Brockman appears to be consolidating power. As OpenAI races against rival Anthropic ($47B annualized revenue), it faces the dual challenge of commercial execution while managing the departure of foundational technical talent and ensuring responsible AI development remains a priority.

A Young Man Born in 1995 from Hangzhou Buys a Silicon Valley Castle for 500 Million

Hangzhou-born 95s AI researcher Tony Wu, a former co-founder of Elon Musk's xAI, has reportedly purchased a $70 million Hillsborough, California estate, making it the highest-priced residential deal in Northern California so far this year. The property, acquired through a limited liability company, spans 12 acres and features amenities like a golf course and an outdoor theater. Wu, 31, previously bought a $12 million home last year. He specialized in AI reasoning at xAI, contributing to projects like Grok 3 before departing after the company's merger with SpaceX. The historic IPO of the combined entity has created significant wealth for early employees. Wu's latest acquisition highlights the rapid wealth generation for top AI talent through major tech IPOs, a trend also reflected in the Bay Area's surging real estate prices.

AI Can 'Have Moods Too'! New Research from USTC: Confusion and Anxiety Make AI Work Better

The article discusses research from the University of Science and Technology of China and Oxford, revealing that allowing AI to recognize and act upon simulated "internal emotions" can significantly improve its performance. The study demonstrates a coherent pairing between specific emotional states in AI agents and their subsequent skill choices. For instance, an agent feeling curious and desirous will search for products, while one feeling confused and tense will rephrase queries. This mirrors human decision-making influenced by emotions. Statistical validation showed a 76.5% semantic consistency in these pairings. Crucially, the research challenges the traditional view of AI errors as flaws to be eliminated. It found that "bad" emotions like confusion, tension, or frustration serve as useful metacognitive signals, indicating a mismatch between the current strategy and the environment. By responding to these signals, AI can proactively adjust before a failure occurs. This is particularly effective in complex tasks prone to failure. For example, in tasks like "heating an item" and "picking up two items," success rates surged from 9.6% to 56.9% and 4.4% to 31.3%, respectively, when using the emotion-driven skill selection method (EMOTION2SKILL). The AI's "nervous" state about a closed microwave, for instance, prompted it to check and open it first, preventing failure. The article also mentions related work from Tianjin University, which embeds emotional prediction into world models (Large Emotional World Model, LEWM), significantly improving prediction accuracy in human-centric environments. Removing emotional data was found to degrade performance even in unrelated logical reasoning tasks. These studies build on earlier findings, like those from Anthropic, that identifiable emotional representations exist within large language models (LLMs). The focus is shifting from philosophical debate about AI emotion to practically harnessing these internal states as functional signals to enhance AI robustness and capability.
